Idk how many times I can feel enraged anew that Frey was somehow reelected AGAIN or that he is renominating O’Hara but it’s turning out to be a large fucking number

everything sucks but please enjoy these native spring blooms from my garden

I am loving the Zach Galifianakis gardening show. The interviews with 5-year-olds in every (short) episode, Mac DeMarco’s warbly guitar in the background . . . all of it is delightful

“Now, we need to continue showing up every day, because that’s where trust is built. Not just in moments of crisis, but in moments of consistency.” God I hate how he talks. Everything he says sounds like a marketing slogan. Dude you know nothing of “showing up every day.” Or of building trust.

Hello from Minneapolis.

Sick

Love me a nice waxing gibbous phase

It was said behind the scenes that a temporary 45 day eviction notice (15 more than we have now) was a compromise the Mayor was willing to support. Just more broken promises and lies like always.

“Who are the extra people that we have to donate overtime hours to this task force of dubious goals? We don't have extra people to be engaged in these types of activities, so that’s a whole other area of scrutiny that we have to look at as well.” TY CM Payne. Enraging (yet unsurprising)

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

“Safety net programs like SSI don’t have to be so complicated and thus expensive, LaCanfora and others at the agency said. But they often are that way because of all the effort spent triple-checking that the poor are actually poor.” This fucking country

crying in the club* * at my desk in the attic while I frantically write a second habeas petition for a client I got released once already two months ago who was detained by ICE this morning

Author photo. For the jacket of her forthcoming book. (It’s literary nonfiction; she got a contract from Farrar, Straus and Giroux)

This morning, I sent the below email to @richardcarlbom.bsky.social and several relevant DFL staff and party leaders. Alongside it was a 31 page report detailing failures of the Code of Conduct committee going back to 2024. This is an emergency.

I want to know this person

These findings are horrific. They describe a department that failed at nearly every level. From how it applied the law, how it gathered evidence, how it communicated, and how it spoke to the public. These are failures. 11/

A brief story: This morning a child went missing on the way to school in my neighborhood. Law enforcement and search and rescue were called, and also the networks we built for ICE Rapid Response. 1/2

Thinking of opening a cafe just so i can hang this sign on the door

Reading this on a relaxing Metra line train in Chicago and fervently wishing MN could move the fuck on from the mid-20th-century mindset keeping us at the mercy of costly, inconvenient, classist, alienating, dangerous, Earth-killing, petroleum-dependent automobile worship. Shortsighted insanity

“About $4,049 of the average taxpaying household’s federal income taxes went to military-related spending in 2025, according to a new report from the progressive Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) thinktank – up from $3,707 in 2024.” Happy tax day, fellow proles 🥴

The other shoe drops. www.startribune.com/readers-writ...

I study racism for a living and can still manage to be shocked by how institutionalized it is. What do you mean they were giving tax-breaks to white supremacists celebrating treason? just a wild country

DFL Rep. Cedrick Frazier calls out GOP legislators who continue to deny and ignore the effects of ICE's occupation of Minnesota: "Look at what happened to this state. Acknowledge the harm. Not as a political concession, but as a human one. And let's respond with the urgency Minnesotans deserve."

Let's nail him to a cross and then toss him into a cave with a giant bolder then. Just to see.

I love how he always likes to stand up on his hind legs when he’s on watch at the front window 🥹

Nazi scum tokens

someone got raptured without their hairpiece down on Marquette Ave

Thought this was vintage, extremely niche porn when I found it in a rural thrift shop a couple weeks ago

This is not ok. Invoke the 25th amendment. Impeach. Remove. This unhinged lunatic must be removed from office.

Share a gif from a horror movie you love

Happy Easter to all who celebrate! 🐇🌷🥚

if you see this, i implore you to post a picture from whatever device you’re using, with no explanation

Mary Moriarty “is actively investigating 17 separate incidents involving federal agents for potential criminal conduct. At least two of those incidents—the January 21 gassing of a crowd in South Minneapolis and a chaotic enforcement action outside Roosevelt High School—involve BORTAC personnel.”

Live long enough to see these evil fucks held accountable

I’m continually blown away by the brilliant (and extremely hardworking!) young activists and policy wonks in this town. They do SO much heavy lifting in and for the DFL. Ayana is a prime example of this — I’m stoked that she’s running for chair!

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT🚨 I'm so grateful to receive an endorsement from my friend and fellow SD 63er, Susan Maas! Susan has been a friend, mentor, and activist I look up to. She understands the energy and dedication I will bring to this role! Vote Ayana for MPLS Chair on April 18!

At the all-cishet-male Hennepin County Attorney candidate debate organized by the Mpls DFL Senior Caucus. It’ll be a while before I’m over the rotten way the Strib & DFL power brokers have treated Mary Moriarty, but I intend to help elect the best person (man 😭) from this field

It’s called “funeral bread” because learning this exists makes you wish you were dead 😢

Fuckin Derrick. Little blackguard pimping dog

WAR DON’T SEX and it never will

A bald eagle was circling above at this moment

🚨 UPDATE to story on Rep. Elliott Engen's DUI arrest. He went drinking after skipping out of an Education Finance Committee meeting when they were hearing a bill related to absenteeism.

She just rocks.

you are such an unserious paper to not even mention folk campaigning to republicans while seeking the DFL endorsement

I can hear frogs in my immediate vicinity* for like the fourth night in a row. They’re loud! 💚🐸🎶 Is it early for them? *Nokomis East, between the lake and the falls
