Show me your budget, and I'll show you your values

Minnesotans! I'm a patient rep on a body that advises the Prescription Drug Affordability Board. We're trying to define "affordable" and my hunch is that you have stories of what is not. And of why getting the rx you need is about so much more than $. Tell me your stories so I can amplify! DMs open

Like I need something else to be mad about but already getting pissed at DFL moneybags who want to primary Ilhan Omar AGAIN when we need to concentrate on replacing Tina, taking back the state Capito trifectal, keeping CD2, and defeating Finstad, Stauber, Fischbach and Emmer.

Still grieving Kari Dziedzic and now, Melissa Hortman. They were so alive, so vital, so good, so strong. Fuck cancer and fuck guns.

I feel like this is easier to ignore in some places than others, but American citizens have been at war with “their” police forces for decades and I don’t know how to get people to understand that a lethal occupying force has never and will never keep us safe

6 years ago today. Glad my phone helps me remember this fun typo 🏜️

O'Hara was quoted in the paper *today* saying MPD didn't have enough staff for an 8-person investigative unit for non-fatal shootings—the same program St. Paul is using to cut its gun related homicides in half. Got plenty of guys to run interference for ICE tho.

Just gonna put this out there: We are ALL pedestrians. If you drive, you also have to walk to your destination. Usually across a busy street, and that crossing should be safe . That I am typing that feels ridiculous. But yes, car driver, you too are a pedestrian, in that "very small minority".

Book check

I am the only labor-endorsed candidate and I’m running for re-election to continue serving Ward 7 with strong leadership. Thanks for your support @liunamnnd.bsky.social 🙌

This is one of the wildest things to me. From a policy perspective, I’m really not sure what the gripe is with Cahsman from more moderate folks who don’t support her. I know policy is rarely what politics is really about (frustrating to me) but it feels especially off here.

After that convention, the Wolves better win tonight 😅

If this moves anyone to action, @katiecashman.bsky.social's campaign will still be going strong and the official general election kickoff is on June 21st. RSVP now: www.mobilize.us/katieforcoun...

I’ve been watching Shaffer’s tenure on the park board closely since she was elected. She’s a terrible park board commissioner and would be a terrible city council member. She’s the landlords’ mouthpiece, for coddling the already-rich and powerful.

if anything this convention result (Shaffer endorsement by 1 vote) has fired me up to be *even more* all in on Cashman because of the absurdity of it all 🔥

I honestly don't understand why *any* DFLers don't support @katiecashman.bsky.social. In 1.5 years she supported incredibly solid DFL priorities w/ impressive endorsements. I hope she gets the DFL endorsement now. But if not, I'm confident she can win in November & continue leading in the DFL party

"Instead, support leaders like @katiecashman.bsky.social—a proven champion for working people— for the DFL endorsement and at the ballot box in November." Read the full post here: buff.ly/VEo41vB

A reminder the tariff crisis ends as soon as congressional Republicans want it to end.

In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Exactly the right number of volunteers for the ward 7 convention as needed so we're gonna vote the slate. #efficiency #dflcaucus

in fairness to the market no one could have guessed that a nearly 80 year-old ex-President with a messianic self-certainty and the hyperfixation of a toddler would enact a policy he spent each and every day of a two-year campaign promising to enact!

All the ways dogs, bicycles and novels make the world infinitely better

Just donated to the Koski and Cashman campaigns. It feels good to have smart, caring candidates to support in Minneapolis. They truly seem to want to put in the work to make things better.

I keep thinking back to when my dad, a baby boomer midwestern moderate, said he didn't like serving in the military under Nixon because he didn't trust him. And I wonder/worry about our active military members today...

I reread this at least three times, chuckling each time. Keep up the good work @racketmn.com

We just need $824 left raised in the next 15 minutes to unlock the generous $5,500 match donations! Can you help us get there?!

Why would I use my car when it's so much more fun to get groceries by bike?

Just wonderful writing on the 60 Minutes piece on President aMusk dismantling of USAID "The world's richest man cut off aid for the world's poorest people." Well done.

So proud of the great work happening in Minneapolis, which shows that boosting housing supply helps make homes more affordable.

THE AXE IS BACK HOME

Somebody got a bath and was brushed today 💅

First time making a pecan pie from scratch. Hope it doesn't have a soggy bottom!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

With so many people off for the long holiday weekend, my delay delivery tool in Outlook is getting a workout today! It's gonna look like I sent about 30 emails at 9:30 Monday morning.

Couldn't sleep in because my brain was trying to come up with names for groups of dog breeds... - A spirited debate of terriers - A choir of huskies - A royal court of corgies - A burrito of Chihuahuas (that doesn't work very well) - Others??? 🤔

Still amazes me that the whole field of bone marrow transplant started as a wild idea to see if we could save people after atomic bomb exposure.

Lynx won, got my flu+COVID shot, it's 72 and sunny 😄

A small donation now signals you are on the side of sanity. After the convention give til it hurts

I just gave to Kamala Harris! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 secure.actblue.com/donate/socia...

Glad to be back at my usual bus stop! New and improved with a boulevard and bike lane ✨
