It’s so fucking funny that we’re still getting five NYT op-eds a week calling for the left to tone down their rhetoric

I watched the whole thing (huge pain tolerance for ingesting bad media), and every "solution" involves lower corporate tax rates, deregulation, and punching left. It's the same old project, nothing new here.

Bill Burr's misogyny should have been a big hint, but what a fucking disappointment

Defunct, useless organization jewishinsider.com/2025/09/adl-...

Rick Kupchella doing conservative propaganda rounds on every local media like he plays for the Vikings and just wrote a children's book, local progressives still got their pajamas on regarding narrative strategy.

I have once again been door knocked by Jehovah’s Witnesses in the middle of the day (I am working from home) and honestly it’s not even the proselytizing that bothers me, it’s the inability to GET TO THE POINT

While Pete Hegseth is fantasizing about his perfect sociopathic super soldiers, his party is making sure veterans start losing their benefits in just a few weeks

"CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss" is the exact same deal as "Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth"

This sentence cuts through much of my political world right now: “people like Klein—liberals with a big platform who see themselves as pragmatic—have accidentally become reactive centrists because they don’t have a clear idea how this moment fits into history & what it is exactly that they’re doing”

If Fox News didn’t radicalize your elderly parents CBS is shaping up to finish the job

goddamn they really are willing to light it all on fire just to please trump, aren't they. it isn't just that weiss is a partisan hack (tho she is the hackiest of hacks, do not get me wrong). it's that she's never run anything bigger than a newsletter and her pretend university.

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

Every time I check in on my dormant account on the old app I am validated in having left

Great Moments in Vetaw Minneapolis Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw argues against ordinance targeting slumlords. Says hypothetical slumlord with high powered lobbyist could get city to look the other way, while lesser slumlords are held accountable. It's "not fair" + "picking winners and losers"

We are watching a coordinated right-wing takeover of popular media and it won’t stop here. archive.today/bXzZd

To be fair, Robbinsdale is pretty cool and Becka would know because she can see it from her house

I don't love using "blood libel" to describe anything other than the actual historical phenomenon of accusations against Jews of ritually killing Christian children. But if anything in modern political discourse structurally resembles a blood libel, it's Vance accusing Haitians of eating cats.

LFG

I repeat that whenever you see a man toss a woman around in front of witnesses and cameras, you can bet he’s had practice in private.

IRL local politics 🧵. Went to a nice Linden Hills fundraiser for CTUL, the awesome immigrant-led workers-rights group. Attendees were what you’d expect: earnest, mostly white-haired DFLers happy to help. What was fascinating/distressing was how disconnected their politics were from the cause!

Me: Hey your teacher says parents are invited to see some presentations in class this morning My 8th grader:

I am co-emceeing this with Javier and nobody made *me* a cute graphic, I would be mad but I get to live in Minneapolis.

The plot twist is there actually have been like 8 or 9 raptures, you dipshits just weren’t good enough to go

lmao holy shit alright guess he’s going full trad Christian antisemite mode

The Becka Thompson residency dispute, and the other ones like it, show that the centrists and their donor class hold Minneapolis in total contempt. Rules are for suckers, community means nothing, you don't deserve better, shut up and vote how we tell you or the communists will let you get crimed.

Yes my oldest child went off to college this year but my youngest volunteered to do childcare for Rosh Hashanah at our temple and *this* is in fact my sunrise sunset moment (Shana Tovah everyone)

I know a lot of Minnesotans brag about having a place up north but I never knew they meant the victory neighborhood

Saint Paul so boring this is what counts as nightlife

as someone who is a hater, i accept and welcome the fact that i have haters. what is good for the goose, etc. in fact, i think people in this business should be more open about their hating. if we think our words matter, then we should feel some kind of way about people who do bad work.

ben smith, boy, i dunno

Well she’s got us there

We were watching the Dallas Cowboys documentary series (it’s v good) and I told my husband Michael Irvin went to my high school and he said “before you or after you” as if there is a world in which I have secretly been a decade older than he thought and this is how I’m choosing to reveal the truth

fiery speech from dewayne davis addressing dinner du nord, looking at photos of who was at the table and not recognizing the mayor’s friends from when he goes to the food shelf, contrasted with the encampments and shootings, who is being invited to the table? dewayne the pastor in full effect 🔥

god DeWayne would be a great mayor

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

if your mental image of the word "wizard" is anything that would NOT be airbrushed on the side of a kickass van, someone has failed you

Trump didn't demand Jimmy Kimmel's firing because he said mean things about Charlie Kirk. Trump demanded Jimmy Kimmel be fired because said mean things about Donald Trump.

Good lunch spots near the U?

Conservatives believe free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want, and also if you don't say what they want you should be sent to a gulag for life bsky.app/profile/stev...

One pretty foolproof way to know your government is fascist is when your government tries to punish you for calling it fascist.

Getting people’s contact info is a key tool in long term organizing as opposed to short term mobilizing and also it makes 100% sense that people are resistant to it and it seems important to name that chilling organizing has been an explicit goal of the administration and it sucks to watch it work.

Let's all to take a deep breath & understand that we have reached the phase in fascism where if they want to declare you a criminal, you are a criminal. You can not magically avoid it, or do exactly the right thing to stay off the list. Fascism must always have enemies, and one day you will be one.

Fun fact: Nancy Mace is trying to censure me over comments I never said.   Her res does not contain a single quote from me because she couldn’t find any.   Unlike her, I have routinely condemned political violence, no matter the political ideology.

“Roughly 20% of FBI agents — 2,840 out of around 13,800 — have been diverted to work on immigration enforcement, according to data obtained by the libertarian-oriented Cato Institute. That represents a significantly larger shift in FBI priorities than what happened after the 9/11 terrorism attacks”

The US is just so young as a nation we don’t even have a bunch of extremely specific regional baked goods with quaint little names yet.

Imagine working so hard for some traditional ideal of masculinity just to be so triggered by shit talk that you have to get people you’ve never met fired. Weak.
