Y’all do yourselves a favor and listen to Ludwig Göransson’s Sinners score while reading @sgj.bsky.social ‘s Buffalo Hunter Hunter. It’s such a visceral experience it almost feels like the score was made for both.

The thing about watching a JD Vance speech is that everyone knows he’s a little pig man. Everyone knows he exists to squeal for Trump‘s amusement. No one respects him and he clearly doesn’t respect himself.

The difference between most red states and blue states is gerrymandering. That's it. Blue states have largely sensible districts, while red states will have districts shaped like the spiral from True Detective to avoid letting Black people have a fair say. Abandonment is further capitulation.

The coolest dude came to town last night. Thx to Louise Erdrich’s incredible Birchbark Books team and @sgj.bsky.social #BuffaloHunterHunter #HorrorLit #HorrorSky

As we’ve reported on sexual misconduct by OB-GYNs, we’ve learned that many women felt they didn’t know what was normal during a visit, or didn’t know what they could do to speak up. We created this guide to help fill this gap.

Walz said he is holding public events in places where the incumbent House members have been reluctant to do town halls, which have quickly become venting spots for people upset with the swift Trump remake of the federal government.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

This February, we saw a 275% increase in new Libro.fm memberships compared to February 2024. More and more individuals are choosing to support their independent bookshop—and their local communities—over Amazon/Audible. Thank you for supporting your indie with us ❤️

My music taste has shifted from a Chappel Roan-fueled Pop summer to a Castle Rat-inspired Doom Metal winter with a steady stream of Kiki Rockwell. The common theme is women in armor. 💪⚔️🏹🔥🏰

Hmmm this guy is on to something

I'm old enough to remember when trump tried to say people in the Biden Administration were incompetent, but none of them accidentally fired the Ebola team. Or the nuclear weapons folks. Just sayin'.

The numbers don’t lie. The cost of living is up since Trump took office. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

10 days ago Trump fired hundreds of FAA employees, weakening the systems air traffic controllers rely on. Maybe instead of handing Elon a $2 billion FAA contract, we should use that money to actually hire and retain the workers who keep our skies safe. Just a thought.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Dear @klobuchar.senate.gov, I received an email from your office urging me to reach out to the GOP to “persuade” them to stop throwing us under the bus…but I am not represented by the GOP. You are one of my Senators and I expect you to act like it. I expect you to fight back like it’s your damn job.

Finish line at the American Birkebeiner. #birkie #americanbirkenbeiner #xcskiing

Starting line at the American Birkebeiner.

Some photos from this past weekend’s shoot: The 51st American Birkebeiner. #birkie #xcskiing #americanbirkebeiner

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

#EndMAGA @chriswarcraft.bsky.social’s incredible speech: “[…] I’m going to take my time to say what MAGA has stood for these past three weeks. MAGA stands for trying to erase trans people from existence. MAGA stands for desegregation and racism. MAGA stands for censorship and book-burning. 1/3

Minnesota doesn't have a Democratic Party — we have a Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. Ken knows better than anyone what we can achieve when we help workers organize.

“Freedom of expression is the cornerstone of our organization, and we cannot accept federal funding or any funding that says we have to censor what our artists want to say,” said Nicole A. Watson, the producing artistic director at the Playwrights’ Center of Minneapolis.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

This blog post perfectly captures what @flashes.blue is all about! Awesome writing!

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

Simply one of the greatest half-time shows of all time. Pure artistry.

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.

My Story Of When I Was Offered 2K Per Video To Talk Negatively About A Candidate. **With Receipts** youtu.be/N_juN6DBcx4?...

True.

I remember when right-wing media said that I wasn’t qualified to be a member of Congress because of my credit card debt. My debt was nowhere near $1.2 million. Do they think the same of RFK Jr? Or does that standard only apply to young people? We know the answer.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

These are the people who monitor and publish Lake Superior's conditions every day. Minnesotans along the North Shore rely on NOAA to know whether or not it’s safe to go out on the water. These agencies and their staff do real work that keeps us safe, it just goes unnoticed - until they’re gone.

Me four days ago on TikTok: "STOP SPECULATING YOU ASSHOLES. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HELICOPTER FLYING." Guy in a business meeting with me today: "I just wanted to say, I used to fly Blackhawk helicopters..." Me: 😶 Him: "...and I really appreciated your tiktok." Me: 😮‍💨

Gov. Tim Walz has called a March special election to fill a vacancy in a state House seat that’s thrown the entire chamber into chaos.

Minnesota Supreme Court to hear second case about House chaos. Here’s what you need to know.

Today!

The offer to federal workers to resign and keep pay and benefits is a "scam," says Randy Erwin of the National Federation of Federal Employees.

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

Shuttering the agency responsible for international assistance. Turning the government over to wealthy oligarchs motivated by economic self-interest. Telling all CIA officers they will be paid if they quit. China and Russia are winning so much they are getting tired of winning.

Today the Senate DFL held a hearing on President Trump’s plan to dismantle the US Dept. of Ed, which makes up 10% of Minnesota’s school funding, around $1 billion. Republicans continue to dismiss concerns about federal chaos despite the clear harm it will cause to Minnesota students. #mnleg

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people

Elon Musk wasn’t elected by the American people.  He has no business accessing our government’s payment systems. Our democracy will not be at the mercy of a billionaire who thinks rules don’t apply to him.

@schumer.senate.gov GET YOUR SENATORS UNDER CONTROL! Why are any Democrats voting for the most unqualified and corrupt cabinet in history?!! You don’t have the votes to stop it but every “YES” is an endorsement of cruelty, bigotry, and corruption. @democrats.org #resist

@amyklobuchar.com Senator, you spoke at my graduation. I’ve supported you, voted for you, listened to you and now I am absolutely disgusted by you. You are an absolute sham. 7 “YES” votes on the most unqualified and corrupt cabinet in US History. You are not a moderate you simply have no principles.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

My staff is hearing reports from Head Start programs in Oregon that they're still locked out of federal funds. My office is doing everything it can to get more info and get funds flowing before providers have to start closing their doors.

🚨 ACTION ALERT: Trump is drafting an order to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education -- a direct attack on students, educators and public schools. 🚨 We refuse to let this happen. Go to edmn.me/pushback and demand Congress TAKE ACTION and protect public education.
