We did it

It’s day 30 of the ICE occupation of MSP. Today thousands of whistles arrived on our doorstep- printed by 3D printers all over the country, donated by folks from all around the world. We are so grateful for the solidarity.

Oh my god we went to drive around to see Christmas lights and we are stuck behind a Waymo and I want to light it on fire

Does anyone know if the poopoopeepee lights went up in northeast? If so can you DM me the neighborhood? We are out looking at lights and I thought my kid would enjoy that one

it's time to stop saying "happy new year" and replace it with the period-appropriate "the calendar changed and the horrors remain"

Is just shy of 6pm too early for sleepytime tea?

used to be just Pinterest that fucked up looking for old images on computer but its solidifed to be 100% instagram and facebook. mark zuckerberg wrecked online, whipped up genocides and made stupid people even more obnoxious but on top of that i cant find old photographs in decent resolution

Family thinks she’s in Northeast Mpls. Eyes out for Ayanna, neighbors.

The MN GOP, including all candidates for governor, support masked men being able to walk into your kids daycare without identifying themselves while lying about enrolling fake children.

All right, let's do one of those Best Things I Wrote This Year threads before it's next year. Let's start here:

Nick Shirley at the US Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

Donald Trump’s lying again. He lost in court when Illinois stood up against his attempt to militarize American cities with the National Guard. Now Trump is forced to stand down.

If I’m grateful for one thing that happened in 2025, I’m grateful to be surrounded by people IRL and online who push me to be smarter, louder, more caring, and a better advocate. Without a doubt if you are reading this you were a part of that. Thank you for keeping me on alert.

I’m beginning to be cautiously optimistic that the story is changing, that people are more resistant to this kind of bullshit video than they used to be.

Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, who began 2025 defending their votes for many of Trump's cabinet picks on the grounds that good relations with the administration would better serve their constituents, end it by denouncing Trump's retaliatory veto of a unanimously-passed drinking water bill.

When my kid has to pee really bad, instead of saying he has to pee really bad he says “steaming hot pee” and it’s so funnyyyy

The idea that any government funds going to address the needs of Black people is necessarily fraud has a long history.

all of this racist nonsense abt Somali Minnesotans is really downplaying the rich history of white people scamming and conning and committing fraud in Minnesota since Father Louis Hennepin “discovered” Owámniyomni/Saint Anthony Falls

The veracity of specific claims doesn't matter to the believers. The deeper story — of immigrants exploiting U.S. taxpayers — is something they already believe, and a few legitimate cases is enough to scaffold belief in the larger story and justify a witch hunt to manufacture more evidence.

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.
