This is why the unelected Minneapolis Charter Commission is trying to take away the rest of the oversight power of the City Council, by the way.

They are a lawless force that assassinates people without consequences. We cannot let this go unremarked because the attempted target was an immigrant!

You ever think about how your little rent fund has paid out more rent relief than the City of Minneapolis? ($1.3 million paid by the way.)

Moon's haunted. Happy Wednesday.

Lol, what the shit

"This is what you get when you elect Republicans." Every Dem within 100 feet of a camera needs to be saying this repeatedly. Every time we elect Republicans, we get dumbass wars, tax cuts for rich people, and financial crises. Every time. Fucking say it!

can't even express how much i want this to come to market. did you know that my oldest child got lyme when they were only 2 years old? it was DEEPLY TERRIFYING for *years* after, since lyme symptoms can show up long after initial infection. i would do anything to prevent this kind of fear for others

i have been handed a walkie-talkie and i cannot stress enough how i am powerless to not say dumb shit into a walkie-talkie when presented with one

Brutal.

I’d like to add that some of the radical shit includes respecting the basic human dignity of the least valued among us. There are people who don’t see that as radical, which is part of the problem IMO.

Calling everyone who got local merch made for mutual aid efforts in Minneapolis 📣 Please list where you ordered from, what you ordered, whether it was Union made, local, & how the experience was I have a project & I could use some info.

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

parks the traditional phrasing is actually “fuck ICE”

We had hoped management would work with us to reach a deal on Monday, but they refused to compromise with our union. So today I’m on strike with my colleagues trying to fight for a fair disciplinary process, equal pay & protection against AI related layoffs. Stand with us by not sharing or reading

we need to get enough solid wins that members of the DFL caucuses can be pushed to be brave. we need to win back the house by a big enough margin that they can tell Klob to kick rocks.

look at 2023. every policy we passed that was popular was to the left of tim walz—but he signed them all and then ran on them as VP, and they made him look like a much more progressive candidate tim walz did not run on 100% clean energy and trans-refuge and DL for all and free lunch we did that.

Amy Klobuchar is definitely going to win. and that sucks. but instead of putting our collective energy into trying to change that, which we probably can’t, we should put the effort into winning seats in the state legislature. win enough that you make Amy the least powerful part of state gov

Additional Zammoth video has dropped, obviously it is no longer Zamboni-ing but I want to ride on this in some sort of parade

The Zammoth with people on board and a bonus camera guy taking a spill (as a treat)

I spent 2 hours inside a dick’s sporting goods in my pajamas

NYT reporting that under this ceasefire each ship will pay $2M to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. It was $0 before Trump launched this illegal war. 100-130 ships pass the Strait daily. Trump just gave Iran an extra $100M-$130M per day. Masterful gambit, sir. Impeach and remove this fascist—NOW.

just found out one of my cats has been secret peeing on my fave piece of furniture and now it needs to be thrown out goin' great over here!

Can’t think of anything to do right now? Help pay a Minneapolis immigrant family’s rent!

"Why don't Americans–" Motherfucker, I live in Minneapolis

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

what if i modpodged bits of pages from richard scarry books onto some strips of cheap pine to make a frame to hid the ugly unfinished edges of our ancient bathroom mirror? would this be rad? would it hold up in a damp environment?

Here's the thing: yes, people do want to have bathhouses to have sex in. Why is it more normal to have businesses where you recreationally drink poison than it is to have businesses where you can hang out in a hot tub and then have sex with someone? Bathhouses were outlawed because of gay panic.

Encapsulation of the “school-to-prison pipeline”: Minneapolis Public School cuts on the table include 20 percent of existing school counselor and social worker positions

NYT 8:51am: Trump warns “a whole civilization will die tonight” NYT 10:17am: Chicken shawarma is always a good idea

Tough day to believe in neither the liberal institutions that could deliver justice in this life, nor a god that would mandate consequences in the next.

It’s obviously got to be Minneapolis. We haven’t turned away from the horrors, let us prosecute them.

Erm, they're called palaeontologists, actually.

I am losing my goddam mind. Wake up, vacation is over--get to work.

all of America's bravest elected Democrats jumping into action to post vaguely on social media about how somebody else should do something

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

i have just learned you can buy a replacement bathroom vent fan that has both led lights and a bluetooth speaker embedded in it, and it's more money than i can afford but the idea of being able to start playing music through it when the kids are taking too long in the shower is a mighty temptation

who can remind me the trick for making a strib link into a gift link? and/or hit me with a gift link to the article today about possibly re-legalizing bathhouses?

Looks like Embiid might actually have pulled something

Bad day for a barnraiser when Bluesky is having so much difficulty BUT thank you M for your $25 to F’s rent need (and to every barnraiser I’ve done I think!!) $75/$2200 leaves us $2125 to go. 85 more people chipping in with $25 pays this rent!!

Ok! Yesterday we paid 2 rents. We still have one more unfunded rent on our sheet today. F and his family need $2200 (this need was referred to us by our beloved CM Jason Chavez). Care to help raise a barn today? Can you chip in or share? 🌻

We are trying, once again, to figure out the circuits in our 126 year old house and it is, once again, apparent that none of this makes any sense and most of the house is wired together in a way that gives me an ulcer if I think about it

Always good to ask who wants you to consider what inevitable. AI, robots, endless war, patriarchy with the mask off? Always good also to ask who wants you to believe what impossible? Caring about the other? Making choices for the long term common good? Living together simply and at peace?

me: So it’s like Hooters but the waitresses are all giant owls and instead of breasts the theme is “if you eat here you will be attacked by giant owls.” Shark Tank: And how exactly are you going to make money off of this? me: I don’t think that you’re understanding my goal here.

My shower in Malaysia has an option I don't really want to try

Are you absolutely kidding me? Pocket squares and pins? Read. The. Damn. Room.

my little sister just praised a cute baby by saying "he's doing good work"

I can’t believe my eyes. This long article—which I first thought would be just another “Why are so many young people dying of cancer? Huh/no clue” ones—covers not only Buffy nerddom, but also deep “inside baseball” COVID facts. I’ll briefly hope yet again that this might represent a turning point.
