now that the election has passed I am once again deleting social media until i complete what is required of me through the end of the semester ☮️☮️☮️ god speed

Sick story dude. I mean a Muslim democratic socialist just became mayor of NYC but I'm sure they were totally gonna make second rate Yale philosophy professors the number one target. Truly the most persecuted amongst us. God I hate this loser shit.

I would encourage trans folks especially, but LGBTQ+ folks more broadly, to understand: We are going to *lose* (maybe even a lot) as cases move up to SCOTUS. *and* Every delay & pause, even temporary, is a win. And we will ultimately win. Care for yourself. Care for community. Keep organizing.

I have a bill coming up to prohibit minors from accessing conversational AI and to prohibit AI therapy

*cough* minneapolis *cough*

Democrat consultant: let’s assure them that we won’t do this and then maybe we can get a few republican votes, turn this thing around!

Kristi Noem has been widely criticized for slowing down FEMA’s response after natural disasters. Texts and emails obtained by ProPublica point to an effective way to get help faster: have one of Noem’s big donors make the ask. (Published September)

Shelley paid $62 a vote 🤣🤣🤣🤣

All of Minneapolis guys: We love Zohran Mamdani! Also All of Minneapolis guys: “the putrid, wicked, DSA-aligned Emily Koski”

women are definitely ruining the right workplaces for the right people in a sense

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Did women ruin the workplace? You Won't Believe What I, A Man With A Podcast, Think.

A lot of people REALLY WANTED Omar Fateh to run for mayor and I think that’s getting missed. He’s been an incredible state senator and is well-loved.

The evil genius of the Frey machine was to link rich SW and poor North Minneapolis residents in the same web of fear. Progressives have misunderstood this at their peril.

Expanding on this some. I find the “Omar never had a path to victory” takes silly and unfounded. Moving 3-4% of the electorate is nearly always within a campaign’s ability. I think treating this result as inevitable leaves our only lesson as “better candidates”, and that’s a pretty poor lesson.

Yesterday in Chicago ICE abducted a preschool teacher.

It was clear from testimony in AAUP v. Rubio that some very senior government officials have no idea at all what the First Amendment means. We're seeing that again here. These officials have an obligation to uphold constitutional rights but they don't know what the constitution says or means.

as a thought exercise for everyone reading ross douthat's latest missive in the NYT, i want you to think about sending an email to your entire company with the subject line "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?", then think about the over/under on the number of minutes/hours you would still be employed

In this moment, we need Democrats to fight for more than a return to the status quo. We need to build a country where all families can thrive - not just billionaires. So today, I'm laying out my priorities - I hope you'll visit my website and learn more: peggyflanagan.com/priorities/

It’s crazy how dense the consultant class is like what are they teaching yall in the political science department im scaredddd

minneapolis didn’t have an incumbent that got indicted, minneapolis didn’t have publically funded elections and thus we got swamped in millionaire PAC money, the DFL machine threw a racist fit and un-endorsed fateh, and minneapolis has a completely different electoral system without a primary

Hundreds of doctors, concerned citizens, public health professionals, and science allies joined us in Washington DC to let the world know: RFK Jr. has got to go! #ImpeachtheQuack @apha.org @moveon.org @physiciandemocracy.medsky.social @pnhpnymetro.bsky.social @drsforamerica.bsky.social and more

Once again Republican support among women is cratering among women and rather than publish articles about why the GOP should moderate their views, we get stuff like this, which frames their position as at least somewhat valid and deserving of consideration.

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

Never change Kelly

What historians see when people claim AI is solving mysteries that have baffled historians for years.

If George Floyd's life and death kinda sorta mattered, Amir Locke's life sure the fuck did not matter to the voters of this city. That is abysmal when you think of it.

Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect of New York City, will turn to veterans of City Hall, nonprofit executives and a former chair of the Federal Trade Commission — all of them women — to lead his official transition effort, he said on Wednesday. nyti.ms/4nHdyOP

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

Minnesota Capitol Mall, as seen from the State Capitol just now

Didn’t even take 24 hours for billionaires to decide they aren’t leaving New York after all.

One of the all time greats. I have a Jason Garcia poster in my childhood bedroom.

Elections are one tool in the democratic toolkit - yesterday it was voting, and tomorrow we will keep organizing. I am proud to have run this race with the support of @twincitiesdsa.org, and to continue building with my political home (Join DSA act.dsausa.org/s/3311.R6gRaz).

I would now like to confess that I ranked Brenda Short third

Chicago: ICE heavily active in West Ridge and Edgewater. Landscapers heavily targeted. Put on your whistles and patrol if you can.

having cancer is the new job

ok but why is this lowkey meee . love bitching with @taylordahlin.com

whenever I encounter stupid shit like this I hear the charlie brown adult voice

Federal agents pulling a woman out of Rayito Del Sol, a daycare by Lane Tech high school

Minnesota Nice

jason garcia has been elected to park board in district 4, beating jeanette colby to take elizabeth shaffer's old seat. shaffer and michael rainville had both endorsed colby and jason has been unable to campaign much these last 2 months but still pulled it off thanks to support to MRLF especially

It took 7+ years of coordinated, multi-collation organizing to set the conditions that resulted in the election of Mamdani. Mpls is gonna have to get on the good foot if we’re ever going to rid ourselves of Jacob Frey.

the federal government has already been replaced with religious police lmfao

Minneapolis friends: Any idea what to do with lawnsigns for Davis, Fateh and Jazz? Are the signs recycle-able? Any place to recycle or reuse the metal stands?

"Part of the insidiousness of white supremacy (is that it) illuminates the exceptional in order to implicitly blame those who cannot, in the most brutal circumstances, attain superhuman heights. It does this instead of blaming the system, the people who built it, the people who maintained it."

turns out milking 9/11 for 25 years to justify insane bigotry doesn’t really work anymore

Miss me with “Omar doesn’t have charisma.”

Most importantly: fuck Jacob Frey actually polls super well!
