I’ll say that working is not a crime. Being in this country is not a crime. The color of your skin is not a crime. And being an immigrant is not a crime. 5/

Just saw a Parkland survivor post about being on lock down at Brown University. We've failed generations of kids with our gun fetish

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”. If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Dear neighbor,  I wanted to give an update on the Minneapolis Separation Ordinance being authored by myself, CM @aurinmpls.bsky.social, and CVP @aishaforward10.com. There is a public hearing at tomorrow’s Committee of the Whole meeting at 1:30PM. It’s open to the public, so feel free to testify. 1/

No one tell my husband we got another inch of snow

It seems to me that what’s culturally normal in the United States is not getting into other people’s private business. It’s only weird obsessives like Gavin Newsom who want to poke around in people’s pants before letting them play sports or use the bathroom. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8-d...

Cheat code: I have started doing six-seven and now my children hate it. Muah ha hah! The angry chorus of "mom!" is my victory lap music.

*looks like* ICE on 29th & Cedar, 9:10am 12/2/25

i'm voting for her too. i would never vote for AIPAC angie craig it's still really gross and disappointing to have her campaign repeatedly texting me with a serial sexual harasser who resigned from office in disgrace

just wonder when john wall and patricia wall moved from their wayzata home, which is still under their names, to ward 2. curious!

My eternal pet peeve with the world right now: Front end height is the largest determinant of pedestrian death by a significant factor. These things kill people for no reason. There is no magic thing you can do with modern vehicles, that we weren't doing in smaller vehicles in the 90s. Nothing.

I will not support this bill that completely fails to help Americans afford their health care. Trump and R’s have more than doubled Americans’ health care premiums, and for 40 days they have refused to lift a finger to do a thing about it. In fact, they’ve made it worse by taking food from kids.

Minority Whip Katherine Clark puts out a stinging statement on the senate deal. "A GOP budget that spikes health care premiums and everyday costs to fund tax cuts for billionaires is a grave betrayal of everyday Americans. That was true in July. It was true in September. And it remains true today."

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Does anyone know, in this deal that has been struck, what the status is on backdoor abortion bans and access to trans healthcare?

There’s no one I trust less than Donald Trump and Mike Johnson. Any deal that relies on Republicans to keep their word is a bad one. Democrats can’t give up on affordable health care for an empty promise. Minnesotans can’t afford for Democrats to cave.

My kids have measles and my SNAP benefits were cut. But at least those cashiers at Walmart aren’t writing “they/them” on their name tags anymore.

Well the cutie is pretty pissed about the mayor, but very excited for @amberforparks.bsky.social and @kayforparks.bsky.social

We did it for you Dick Cheney

This is incredibly important: we must frame tonight as a resounding victory — an electoral landslide, a mandate from the universe itself and as a repudiation of MAGA, of Trump, and of vichy democrats we must be relentless, we must not shut up

This cutie was very insistent about coming to vote with me today! She is very passionate about the Minneapolis Park Board 🤣 Cast "our" ballot for @kayforparks.bsky.social and @amberforparks.bsky.social

Polls are open. Get in line, stay in line. Rock the vote. This is your brain on ballots. Friends don't let friends not vote.

i really hope we do the right thing i just really really hope tomorrow goes well

I’m asking everyone to vote for a new Mayor by Tuesday and rank all 3 of Omar Fateh, Dewayne Davis, and Jazz Hampton in whichever order you prefer. I’ve worked at City Hall for the last 4 years and from my personal experiences I believe the City desperately needs a new mayor. Long thread 🧵

are you sure got everyone there @startribune.com ?????? this is beyond absurd.

reminder that mpls and st paul have an election on tuesday! mpls: vote for Fateh/Davis/Hampton for mayor, Brandt for BET, Wilson/Olsen/Frederick for park board at-large, progressives for city council, and Engelhart, Garcia, Moran, and Jourdain for park board districts! st paul vote yes on both ?'s

You know I just wanted to Bluesky at 1am like any normal insomniac but apparently all the world is a baseball today.

Skeets I cannot show my children

Are the folks trying to debate the plausibility of accidentally getting a Nazi tattoo also going to give Musk a pass for accidentally doing a Nazi salute. These things are the same guys. You don't Nazi by mistake.

After a few days offline, Becka Thompson's TikTok account is back. I never bothered to make a spreadsheet of all her bullshit, but she definitely deleted some of her worst videos.

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

Who says there is no joy to be had in local politics? I, for one, am fucking riveted by this thread. (Many thanks to @taylordahlin.com for the excellent reporting)

Pro-tip: if you're ever trying to figure out who *not* to vote for, check out the lawn signs posted outside apartment buildings. As a general rule, it's safe to assume that landlords and I have different policy objectives.

TIP: When you vote early the Secretary of State will update your info sometime in the next week to reflect that you voted and any functional campaign will stop trying to contact you.

Not the plot of this 1981 gem

My uncle posted on the old FB today and just wrote "Arlington is full of Antifa" and that spun me round a minute.

We knew this moment was coming. Ward 12 candidate Becka Thompson claiming residence in a neighborhood outside her current park district means she's either lying or must resign her park board seat.

Y'all remember that movie Idiocracy?

Did you know that while the second MMR vaccine is typically administered at age 4, your child can get it sooner! You can get the second shot anytime at least 30 days after the first shot. The HPV vaccine is recommended for all genders and available as young as age 9. Get on it folks!

Last night, people from across Minneapolis came together at the Lake Harriet Bandshell for a Rally for Change with @omarfatehmn.com, @dewayneforminneapolis.com and @jazzformayor.bsky.social The message was simple: Minneapolis is ready for a new mayor and in order to do so, rank all 3!

But the message of the night wasn’t simply unity - it was about the opportunity ahead of us for progress. Each candidate highlighted how they are excited by one another’s campaign and how all three are offering residents a chance to take Minneapolis in a new, progressive direction.

Folks, I don’t know what end is up right now.

We deserve better than a leadership that lurches from crisis to crisis. Despite what Mayor Frey wants you to think, we don’t have to choose between permanent encampments or bulldozers. We deserve a leader who will meet this need with the compassion and urgency it requires. 5/5

This letter is now live and ready for signatories! We are asking cisgender allies in Minnesota who consider themselves members of the DFL to sign on to show support for trans people here.

who wants an 'iphone air' ? i want an iphone brick — a wide, thick, short little guy with a screen that's bordeline useless for anything besides texting, music, and maps, but gets two day battery life. i will pay a premium for this

I just did a three minute trip to the grocery store. The song playing majestically in the background was the Brittany classic "Lucky". As I zipped around the store, myself and at least a half dozen other elder millennials were belting along. It was magnificent. This is our time.
