When my children refuse to eat I rub a dot of mirtazipine cream on the inside of their ears and other parents absolutely should not take my advice unless their children are also cats.

All those times I’ve said I would eagerly listen to Robert Evans and/or Joe Kassabian read literally anything, regardless of my interest in (or comprehension of) the subject matter appear to have paid off? open.spotify.com/episode/18mU...

Nothing makes me nostalgic for Cold Mud Season quite like Drowning In My Own Snot Season.

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

HEY DAVOS HIS FRONTAL-TEMPORAL LOBE IS LITERALLY MUSH AND WE’RE ALL HOSTAGES TO HIS DELULU. Yes the Cabinet knows yes Congress knows yes our domestic media knows NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING PLEASE HELP.

Amy, in what fucking delusional world is this a reasonable response to “there are brownshirts kidnapping our neighbors in broad daylight”?

Hey Richard how’s that plan to “partner with national influencers and content creators” to promote the @dfl.org going? Pissing off a ton of volunteers and organizers BUT you hit your fundraising target? Cool cool can’t wait to see what you come up with next.

call me a dreamer, but i believe in the possibility of a collective spite so powerful that it unites everyone in the city in an unspoken pact to keep this statement true indefinitely for use as the ultimate retort to the fascist fucks who sent their chud army to Minneapolis…

What will you do today to ensure that ten, twenty, thirty years from now you will be morally at peace with giving a truthful answer when your children/grandchildren/niblings/students ask what *you* were doing when depraved authoritarian brutality came to our community?

I’m a slut for anything with @iwriteok.bsky.social in it, but Robert Evans dragging Ben Shapiro is always the tastiest of those treats.

Please read this. This is a five alarm fire.

I’m opposed to child labor EXCEPT when it gets my entire filthy car cleaned out—with everything sorted into trash vs. recycle—for the low low price of “this is a toonie, it’s Canada money, and you can keep all the pop tabs from cans you find” plus an explanation of what Canada is.

I can't recall where this originated but I'll never ever stop laughing at it.

I can’t believe I have to point this out but the “affirmative action and inclusion statement” regurgitated at every DFL internal election DOES NOT mean “TERFs, Republicans, and reactionary ***** should fill our leadership roles in proportion to their prevalence in Minnesota as a whole.”

This is the kind of experience that I was referring to when I told Richard Carlbom (back during his pre-coronation “listening tour”) that I feel I can no longer in good conscience suggest that young people who want to organize for a better city/state/world consider getting involved in the DFL.

We knew these PACs would crop up, and we know they’re going to pour even more money into this race now that I’m the DFL-endorsed candidate. Let’s show these wealthy donors the power of grassroots fundraising. Donate at fatehformayor.com/donate. www.startribune.com/omar-fateh-m...

I totally skipped the “daydream about my future wedding” part of teen girlhood EXCEPT for knowing that I was gonna need buy-in for a Sabbra Cadabra first dance from any Prospective Future Spouse candidate. By far not the *only* reason I’ve never married, but the requirement still stands.

Oh that’s right, the JoeRad ghoul squad just shed its legal skin and emerged in a superficially-separate form ready to gobble up another round of annual-maximum suburban developer checks so they can get back to paying someone to send this dude assorted dumb shit to repost.

Josh Martin is one of the most measured, logical, organized, and non-reactionary people I have ever met. If you’re getting publicly dragged by Josh Martin, you have unambiguously fucked up very badly and your fuckups are extensively documented.

All the Freybaby bitches who are pissing and moaning about how tewwibly the caucuses and conventions went but couldn’t be bothered to volunteer are hereby invited to kiss my ass, and you’re goddamn right that I’m going to insist that they form an orderly queue to do it. Show up or shut up.

i cannot stress the 1000s of unpaid hrs a v small crew of good faith dem socialists & allies have put into ELEVEN conventions (not W5 & W13). the amount of FREE labor, skills, job contacts, emotional & mental health the good mpls DFLers have done this yr is unbelievable. we’ve done impossible work.

Donald Trump walked into the GOP tent and shit his pants like that’s a completely normal thing to do past the age of 3. Republicans were like “wow, what an edgy thing to do in public with no shame whatsoever!” and surprisingly few of them got the fuck out of the tent at that point. 1/

In a democracy, public officials—including police—are accountable to the people. Hiding identities shields them from scrutiny and undermines this principle.

this sure aged poorly

The request for people to stop shouting from the floor has worked, kind of, but a convention volunteer is pointing out people and telling them to go to the mic. Very punk rock.

i wish i could make the anxious orange cat understand that the cuddle-slut black cat only gets handfed a little pile of treats every morning bc that’s how i trick him into eating his pill. she watches forlornly from across the room every time and it breaks my heart.

I do enough law stuff to know good work when I see it, and this filing by @dansuitor.bsky.social is absolute King Sicko shit. May the rivers run red with the blood of his enemies. drive.google.com/file/d/1D0-v...

MOTHERFUCKER YOU TOOK AN OATH THAT COVERS THIS. TWICE!

My notes say “absolutely outrageous 3-piece suit, black with extremely aggressive inch wide white pinstripes.” After watching the Zoom, I absolutely *can* believe that the hubris required to take this case would also inspire a grown man to reach for that suit when he needs to Make An Impression

Thank you to the bemused @mprnews.org audience services phone guy who answered my call asking if the host *really* just said that the woodpecker attacking cars in Mass. might just be “a little stupid.” SHE TOTALLY DID but it was a quote from a birdologist so I guess it’s a legit explanation?

A piece has now been published in both Southwest Voices and the Star Tribune regarding some thoughts on PACs and the DFL caucus/convention process. Not sure Strib will agree to publish my piece, but here is my response piece in Southwest Voices. (1/3) www.southwestvoices.news/posts/opinio...

I keep hearing complaints about caucuses and conventions. And there's some valid complaints. I'm on the committee that discusses state-level DFL rules. I want to hear your feedback. Complete this form if you would like. (1/3) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Would be cool to see the MASSIVE COOPERATIVE EFFORT to save May 3rd get the same amount of attention as was paid to one ineffective leader’s premature decision to try bumping Ward 2 into June… but doing the right thing is its own best reward. Thank you for going above and beyond 🫡 🙌🏻 🫶🏻

The Onion Looks Back On Pope Francis Busting His Holy Ass

the pope met JD Vance and was like “yeah we’re fucked, jesus take the wheel”

we love mpls are targeting wards 7 and 100, renter heavy with lots of properties owned by these landlords. how many renters were mobilized by we love mpls to be delegates? how many are having their rent raised in a tight economy and then it’s being spent to influence elections? we have to educate

Everyone in Minneapolis* needs to see this thread. *literally just a matter of capitalizing first letters of a sentence + proper nouns, NOT a new vaguely-named independent expenditure group
