Okay, S Mpls helicopter club: what’s this guy doing? Been circling for at least 20 minutes

Can’t wait to inevitably see a young hipster who hasn’t been born yet carrying that tote in 2050

The 4th pic will go down in history

I was not wrong lol

The plate with Gordon Lightfoot’s signature makes me laugh because I just imagine being the nerd who brings a ceramic plate to a concert and then being vindicated because he signed it. www.ebth.com/items/143096...

Good evening all. For this year's Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR), TFR remembers three transfeminine authors who passed away this year: Miss Major Griffin-Gracy (78), Valerie Amelia Thompson (38), and Michelle Duff (85) 🖤 We also remember 367+ victims of anti-trans violence and suicide 🕯️ #tdor

This Trans Day of Remembrance, my heart hurts thinking of all the people we couldn't carry through to the other side of this moment in history. Amidst all the fighting we've done for our community, amidst the unshakeable belief that we will win in the end, grief still takes hold.

Imagine being a survivor in this classroom 🤢

Oh hell yes, I’m so glad there’s a local initiative for this! Throw em some coins if you’ve got em

Hello! Please help and share for my friend! www.gofundme.com/f/support-my...

My mind has been spinning the last few days as multiple crises of journalism converged—the Nuzzi book, Epstein’s emails revealing journalists hid information, Trump berating a reporter with no consequence—and it occurred to me they all stemmed from the same source: elite impunity.

The fact that no one in the room stood up for her says a lot about how we got here bsky.app/profile/pale...

there's a common dynamic where victims are framed as vicious, vindictive people who only seek to ruin lives while people think abusers are just little guys who don't know they're abusing.

Officers now arresting folks who attempted to block the vans.

Couple dozen people total (FBI, HSI, DEA) on site surrounding Bro-Tex at Hamden and Territorial. “Just executing a search warrant” was the answer given on site.

Frankenstein (2025): 👍👍 a long list of oscar noms (and a slightly shorter list of Oscar (Isaac) nom nom noms) surely incoming

charli xcx + john cale is bespoke content for my ears incredible

I regret to tell you that this just looks like guys telling homophobic jokes to me. None of them are funny, so it's admittedly hard to tell.

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

Know any twin cities small-business owners? I'm hosting a gathering of businesses against fascism on Wed. Nov. 19 @6pm. Working w/ ISAIAH to connect business owners with a broader anti-authoritarian movement with shared demands. Please send anyone you know who might be interested my way! The plan:

BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.

This puts the four months I spent applying for jobs and getting very few interviews in perspective. And firms up my hunch that, if you’re in a field where freelancing is a thing, this is a time where informal referrals for temp-to-hire roles might be more fruitful than mass applying.

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

This reminded me that there was a prof in my grad program who published constantly, had tons of advisees, and still found a way to entertain students at her house. Someone asked her husband, ”when does she sleep?“ He didn’t miss a beat: “She doesn’t.“

You do not have to hand it to the Catholic bishops. In the same meeting, they banned gender affirming care at all Catholic hospitals nationwide. www.npr.org/2025/11/12/g...

I reached out to federal delegation to get some answers on this project. It’s a surprise and a very unwelcome one. No home for ICE and CBP in Saint Paul.

If you’re one of the people trying to say Democrats have some super secret plan to best Republicans, then you’re the only one who’s been fooled.

Josh phrases this a bit more gently than I would, but I think the core of this is right. We're fighting to change the Democratic Party, and we've still got a long way to go. But the fight is ongoing, and the party's center has already shifted dramatically in our direction.

Here's an incredible election result that's being slept on: Duluth passed a first-in-the-state Tenants Right to Repair ordinance! TakeAction MN and its ascendant Duluth Tenants Union fought hard for this ballot question and won a huge victory for tenants rights in a market which really needs it

If you're a young person, find your people are try stuff. You don't know how it will turn out AND THAT'S A GOOD THING. Failure is a natural part of living. Not something to be scared of. Try shit. Don't sit back and throw stones at others who are trying shit.

I have a dear friend who is politically engaged and lives in Ward 12. She had heard of Becka Thompson, but never seen or heard about one of her videos. I’m so glad she will never need to now!

BREAKING: every Republican has died

I gotta say, I have two masters degrees, one of them in information science, and I feel doomed to never fully grasp ranked choice voting. I understand the taking part, I just don’t get the math. (Please don’t try to explain it to me—many have already tried in vain)

Ope, I guess I was talking to myself because I found some cheap-ish tickets and took my son tonight. Did not disappoint!

even after not being able to campaign the last couple months up against a candidate endorsed by elizabeth shaffer and michael rainville. this is is hugely impressive. jono cowgill, the last progressive to hold the seat before elizabeth shaffer, doubted they could pull it off against those forces

You love to see it!

Goddamn do I wish I still lived in NY right now

Now I have that stuck in my head as this German new wave song: “Intifadada/Ich lieb dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht/Intifadada/Ich lieb dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht" youtu.be/lNYcviXK4rg?...

feeling civic af today: voted (#316 at 11:45 at head start bldg in Regina), then chatted with neighbors outside the hosmer library waiting for it to open. Then we were all greeted warmly by staff as we fanned out across the library 🥰

No brainer opinion: Medical Cannabis prerolls shouldn't cost more than flower by weight. It's an accessibility accommodation.
