Happy New Year Everyone!

The Middle Class is supposed to afford basic necessities. We're not identifying the problem: Because MC wages have not kept pace, and Washington has funneled most of the tax dollars to the wealthiest, the bottom quarter of the Middle Class is now Lower Class. www.startribune.com/twin-cities-...

Trump started by pardoning the Jan 6th Terrorists. That disgusting act wouldn't even make the Top 10 worst things he did in 2025. In 2026, we need to fight like hell to save this country. The Right will try to stop us. Are you ready to fight? Get behind me. I'll lead! Happy New Year, everyone!

He was guilty, and the Republicans in Congress who had their phones searched were also guilty as hell, in cahoots with Trump. The fact they'll all skate because of the Supreme Court is infuriating. The Roberts Court will be considered the most corrupt of all time. www.rawstory.com/jack-smith-2...

Bold Call! The Minnesota Wild will go further in their playoffs than the Minnesota Timberwolves will go in theirs.

Does the story feature a mugshot? No. Then the perp is a white guy! www.startribune.com/lewd-photo-c...

This sizes up this God-forsaken year perfectly. The media attempting to put a positive spin on him...chef's kiss. Well done, @theonion.com !

New Year's gold from @brittlestar.com!

This video was specifically going after Somali daycares. This was a racist witch hunt. Did the mngop tell them where to go? Did they tell them to force their way to the kids? Did they tell them to try to photograph the kids? DID THEY GIVE THEM TAXPAYER DOLLARS??? www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

The Como Park Conservatory. Fireworks for the New Year! Part #1

Love from #QuangRestaurant!

Story - "Mohamed believes the burglar kicked in the door before absconding with employee payroll documents and client files." They stole the documents of the employees and the families who use the facility. Congratulations mngop! The racists are emboldened! www.startribune.com/police-inves...

For all your #JeffStein, New Year's 2026, gift-giving needs! He was the guest for the full hour, 12/30! Books at @nextchapterbooksmn.bsky.social and www.totallyiowa .com The #IowaBusinessReport and @iowapolitics.bsky.social Report come to us via News/Talk 1540 KXEL! soundcloud.com/newstalk1540...

This line: (MN House GOP Leader) Niska said the MN House GOP Caucus provided information about fraud to...David, who appeared in Shirley’s video. Did the mngop tell Shirley to try to force his way into daycares and take photos of people's kids without consent?!? www.startribune.com/viral-video-...

He tried to kick open the doors of daycares and photograph kids without consent. Why are we not talking about Child Endangerment charges against Shirley and David? When CBS News is calling out your bias... www.rawstory.com/cbs-fact-che...

On today/s (12/30) Year End Edition of the show - We talk the Republicans creating a fake "news" story just so they can let their racism and bigotry fly. Was the mngop behind the attempt to photograph kids? And @iowapolitics.bsky.social #JeffStein reviews 2025! soundcloud.com/user-5879035...

Back with a live first hour today with @iowapolitics.bsky.social #JeffStein! Hour 2 is the Brand New To You Interview with Paul Niland! 3-5 PM on @am950radio.bsky.social 9 PM on @wcpt820am.bsky.social - Chicago's Progressive Talk 5 PM Hour and late Nights on Alternative Talk 1150 KKNW Seattle!

Racists will ALWAYS blame immigrants. ALWAYS!

I love how the news media can't say "This was a LIE!" The LIE was the point. No right-wing media will run a correction. The goal was accomplished: Push a racist LIE and hope it becomes the new "They're eating the Dogs and Cats." www.startribune.com/city-journal...

Why is MAGA only focused on Somalis in Minnesota? They are desperate to get Epstein off the front page. While Trump is the Pedophile in Chief, a lot of his wealthy buddies are all guilty, too. The powerful know that if a British Prince can be taken down, so can they. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Why is the administration only focused on Somalis in Minnesota? They are desperate to get Epstein off the front page. I love the DOJ's "Sure, there is a plague of child sexual abuse allegations in the Epstein Files, but THIS ONE directly implicating Trump is TOTALLY false!" time.com/7342332/trum...

I can always tell the news stories the MAGA messaging machine is pushing by the number of MAGA troll accounts that comment on the story. It'll be three weeks since I had to deal with a MAGA troll, and then suddenly 50 of them show up on the one story they are desperate to keep in the news cycle.

The big snowstorm is gone, but a dusting or 2 is coming our way. @svensundgaard.bsky.social has the details. bringmethenews.com/minnesota-we...

The @artsmia.bsky.social has the exhibit Royal Bronzes: Cambodian Art of the Divine. I highly recommend it!

On today's (12/29) 'Brand New To You' SHOW! Hour 1: @katmabu.bsky.social and @mst3kofficial.bsky.social/ #TheMadsAreBack alum @tracebeaulieu.bsky.social! Hour 2 is @dfl.org Chair Richard Carlbom! 3-5 PM on @am950radio.bsky.social 9 PM on @wcpt820am.bsky.social Late Nights on #1150KKNW in Seattle!

There is a really dark implication (beyond the FBI spying on journalists darkness). Say the FBI had gotten word that Epstein was ready to tell all to a reporter in July 2019. Epstein was found dead in his cell in early August 2019. Interesting timeframe. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Here comes the Righto MAGA liars on cue! The point for them is not to be factual, but to push a racist narrative. @simpleblacktheory.bsky.social corrects the lies. Are Republicans in rural districts openly calling for violence against the Somali population? www.tiktok.com/@simpleblack...

I just posted a video that points out that the video has tons of questionable evidence, intentional exaggerations, and deception in it, and of course, @axios.com doesn't mention ANY OF THAT in their gushing piece about the MAGA "Journalist."

The people bankrolling MAGA spent BILLIONS of dollars buying up the news media, taking over social media, and flooding us with pro-Trump propaganda, to get everyone to ignore that they were literally buying a crap sandwich. And they'll do it again in 2026 and 2028. www.rawstory.com/trump-267483...

I think this is a really good idea. Destination ice skating options seem to get a lot of visitors. www.startribune.com/over-the-riv...

I took a day avoiding the internet. I focused on more important things. It's how I roll!

It’s nights like this that explain why I do not take the Minnesota Timberwolves seriously.

After 500 pounds of holiday treats, these workouts are a delight!

Those two touchdown tosses were pretty freaking amazing! Minnesota Football www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVqN...

For me at least, the AI videos are really easy to spot. But I do know that probably 30% of the people who see them really believe they're real. It scares me how many people can't see reality. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

We all know Trump's a pedophile. When they can no longer defend his child rape, they'll suddenly and abruptly change their tactics, claiming "Trump is suffering from serious mental health issues, and holding a man who is mentally compromised accountable is cruel!" www.rawstory.com/trump-epstei...

Predictable and sad that the same Republicans who vowed to FINALLY do something about gun violence after the assassination of the Hortmans never had ANY intention of doing anything to stop this, even after children were gunned down in a church 2 months later. minnesotareformer.com/2025/12/26/t...
