Stating the obvious here: as confused and upset I am that Walz is running again, these ghouls siccing white nationalist weirdos on daycares in our state should be nowhere near that office

This is going to culminate in Pizzagate-style vigilante violence if we do not protect our neighbors www.startribune.com/police-inves...

BREAKING: Democrat Renee Hardman just won a special election for the Iowa State Senate, according to the AP — a result that prevents Republicans from reclaiming a supermajority in the chamber.

As we experience a huge surge of flu cases, a reminder that the widespread usage of masks at the start of the COVID pandemic wiped out a strain of the flu. If you haven’t been masking up lately, now would be a great time to restart.

“why yes random strange dudes with cameras, let me bring you inside to where the small children of no relation to you are”

this is one of the easiest things anyone can do. one dollar per drink (beer, coffee, cocktail) and 20% for restaurants (even counter service). there’s no counter argument. you don’t have influence on payment systems for service workers. and whatever your job is, service work is harder.

Kristin Robbins is running for governor. Everything she does should be seen as a stunt and every time she doesn’t know something like this it should be a point against her.

The Republican speaker in Minnesota is grateful that Minnesota families will lose daycare. Is that where we are now? It’s true that all the fraud in Minnesota has taken so much money from our families and kids.

Why won’t Trump specifically say his hand is real? I’m just asking questions. People are wondering

This is Trump’s long game. We’ve spent years cracking down on fraudsters. It’s a serious issue - but this has been his plan all along. He’s politicizing the issue to defund programs that help Minnesotans. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/hhs...

The entire force of this corrupt federal government and its rapacious propaganda machine is fixated on our state, ginning up every dangerous racist in the exurbs into a froth, in an attempt to separate you from the reality that government can help make our lives better. Don't let the bastards win.

MN GOP openly admitted today that they conspired with the racist YouTuber who ginned up these racist attacks

The entire right wing media apparatus is in a rabid frenzy saying every childcare is fraudulent and now people are showing up to random daycare centers demanding to see the children and screaming at daycare workers. This is absolutely insane and I worry this is going to end in a major tragedy.

“the USPS must turn a profit” makes me want to set things on fire they put a clause in the fucking constitution about postal service, that’s how important it is nothing in there about “only if you can make money on it”

This wasn't even one of the daycares featured. People are targeting Somali owned daycares to terrorize our neighbors. The burglar here stole employee files and personal data.

We are in the process of moving my office stuff around in the guest room—it used to have a queen sized bed and dresser, but no one literally ever stays here so we are moving it to a day bed and no dresser, giving me a lot more space for my desk set up. Super excited about it.

Random reminder that Jim O'Neill (guy on the left) worked directly for Peter Thiel for nearly two decades until joining this administration.

Agree with this; want to add that I have met plenty of secular conservatives who will find the most utterly baseless pseudo-scientific reasons why mothers shouldn't work outside the home, and all of them are rooted in male supremacy.

Daycare centers were also the primary target of the Satanic panic, because fundamentally American religious conservatism is opposed to women having jobs outside the home.

Just a reminder that I have been without fulltime work for a year. If anyone has any leads on political, community, or union organizing gigs send them my way. Really anything at this point though. I have a lot of office support type jobs experience as well.

The next admin MUST remove Bove from the bench and any opinions he was majority on must be reviewed. At fucking MINIMUM

renaming mar-a-lago "black lives matter, trans rights are human rights, and no human is illegal" and then getting mad when kid rock declines to perform there

Spread the word to all the Minnesota business owners you know (with up to 500 employees) about applying for free money to purchase e-bikes, including electric cargo bikes. This grant covers 75% of the cost! Deadline for the application is January 15.

nick shirley and dave reporting fraud to the cops. the nail cops

It is irresponsible and dangerous for the CMS Administrator (a physician who knows better) to downplay the importance of getting the flu vaccine. Reminder: The US had ~38,000 flu deaths in the 2024-25 season.

Driving on our shittily plowed roads last night I cant help but be a downer about ice and ICE. They’re going to get someone killed, because driving like an idiot hurts everyone else. Winter requires us to drive like we live in a society, and lots of MN can barely handle that, let alone those psychos

Minneapolis has been working overtime to combat fascism for almost a month now, and it is such a light in the darkness. Particularly hope-giving when elected officials are part of on-the-ground organizing like this.

In just a year, a pioneering Minnesota lab has gone from more than 20 employees to seven after Department of Government Efficiency cuts, hobbling research efforts.

This is how you do it folks

To be sure, Joe Biden had some embarrassing gaffes, and his Atlanta debate performance made clear he wasn't up for a second term But never once did Biden blurt out the details of a CIA covert op by going on a B-list radio show Can you imagine the uproar if he had?

You motherfuckers don't care about fraud. You don't give a rat's ass when the police dept runs their yearly overtime grift, racketeering shakedowns or the most massive PTSD worker's comp fraud in the history of this city - you are the actual fraud for pretending.

Hey let’s go to the home town of the Annunciation Shooting and just try to get in places with kids, just me and my janky stranger buddies

This is the angle the current person trying to primary Ilhan Omar is taking: "Somalis don't understand the American Black experience." It's horrifying, especially at this moment.

Israel is never going to allow Gazans to thrive and it seems like no one cares

I cannot believe our government is accusing people who have learned how to DRIVE IN THE SNOW of being ANTI-AMERICAN

It is WILD how people are pissed off because a random daycare - in a place where there was a school shooting less than six months ago - isn't letting random adults *with cameras* into their buildings to "see what they're doing."

Shit that I need to use for my job doesn’t work because psycho conspiracy theorists are flooding it and now it’s down. I hate living this way.

See here’s the good news. For every dollar in fraud in Minnesota, UnitedHealth pays it back in fines. Since 2000, UnitedHealth Group and its subsidiaries have accumulated nearly $2.7 billion in fines, penalties, and settlements across 448 enforcement actions.

It's Tuesday.

Heartening to hear the hosts embrace correct cool takes such as campaigns and messaging having increasingly limited impact. Unless Democrats and aligned orgs address the media ecosystem and democratize the party — both things they explicitly don’t want to do — that will remain the case.

Republicans have held a Supreme Court majority since 1974, no matter what the mood of the country is, and I think people have finally had enough. Ford gets a pick during his 2 years, Carter got none during his 4. The lifetime selection, random lottery of deaths and retirements doesn't serve us well.

anyone taught by wurman should ask the university of minnesota law school for a refund

Lol I’m at a restaurant watching MNF and some dude mansplaining TO ME who John Madden was.

Again: they thought they’d win a shattering court victory with the Harry Potter lady’s money, then the public would rise up in gratitude, salute them as heroes and stomp all over transgender people on their behalf. That hasn’t happened, because the public mostly aren’t vicious cranks, like they are.

Remember sitting in history, thinking “If I was alive then, I would’ve…” You’re alive now. Whatever you’re doing is what you would’ve done.

It’s Day 28 of the ICE occupation of MSP. Today we were reminded of the importance of taking the time to connect in person, not just online. This is your reminder to get a cup of tea with someone, to share a good long hug, or a laugh with a friend. We are resilient, but resilience needs fuel.

Remember how many hours of hearings they did on Benghazi and I don’t even think we’re gonna get an angry post it on Venezuela

I think I have to retire from fantasy football. I won first place in both leagues 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Mayor Carter: "I recognize that. I recognize Jim Crow. I recognize apartheid. You show me an era where people had to carry papers to keep from getting harassed and arrested by government agents, and I'll show you an era of profound human rights abuses." www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD4o...

hey, so this is actually a bad idea & it’s beyond unhinged to ask the hitler robot to assist you in daycare “hunting” also “star wars names” is just racist shit added in
