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, a healthcare lawyer, run through how to navigate the pharmacy websites to make a COVID vaccine appointment. This video is completely shareable, there's no patreon account, no log in at all, required. It's meant to be a shareable resource for your normie friends www.patreon.com/posts/138393...

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.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Fateh will raise millions from this. He may even win because of this. But our party? This is likely the beginning of the end of it in its current form. Why would campaigns or delegates invest their time and money if they feel like endorsements are this precarious?

I have more to say later but I need to get this off my chest. Undocumented immigrants get to participate in the DFL endorsement and caucus process. They can’t vote in elections but are allowed to participate in democracy through this process. Stripping away their voices like this is wrong.

I would rather eat glass

Oof I still wish they'd actually pivot. Not having Target still continues to make buying stuff a lot more work on my end and there are still items I don't really know where to go on. Speaking of which, anyone know where I can buy a car seat in person that isn't Target or Walmart??

I put a lot of work into this. I would be so happy if you would read and share: Why moving to the center won't save democrats: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/moderation...

They recovered over 180 bullet shells at the CDC. Debris from shattered glass is still being cleaned up. I am completely stunned at how quickly the news cycle has moved on. This was an act of terrorism targeting public health experts, and the response seems to be a collective shrug.

Another reason why i hate the digital pivot to video is people will send you like 20 videos and expect for you to watch all of them. Like, no.

Last show tonight!

STOP DOING AI YEARS OF MARKETING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND Want to chat with a PDF? We had a tool for that: It was called "EMAILING THE AUTHORS" "Let’s shove this feature at users. Let’s do this EVERYWHERE" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged They have played us for absolute fools

Owning a home is like If You Give a Mouse a Cookie but every time the mouse wants something new it costs you $20,000.

I’m doing Fringe this year, a fabulous and challenging show, speaking to the times we’re in. Come see us Tuesday at 7pm, Friday at 10pm, or Saturday at 8:30pm. All proceeds will be donated to a local clinic! minnesotafringe.org/shows/2025/t...

Yes please!

Time to bid farewell to a MN institution! The kiddos are fairly devastated.

I’ve seen a lot of false information circulating in the weeks following the Minneapolis DFL convention. Some of it feels like reading Jan 6 voter conspiracy theories, so as the person who stepped in as head teller + audited the voting system, I’d like to set the record straight🧵

Created a new portfolio page to help with the job hunt. You can check out some of my past projects and filter them by the tools I used. Would love it if folks took a look and let me know what they think! zacis.me

🤣🤣🤣

chatgpt is much like an improv comedy group 1) you are the audience, giving it prompts 2) it produces things roughly shaped like your prompt 3) it is trained to respond with Yes, And 4) it has the factual accuracy of improv 5) it does not understand comedy

Trump signed an EO designed to lock up disabled people and kill disabled people in this country; I went through the text.

i can’t wait to have pro-labor commissioners on the park board like Michael Wilson, Dan Engelhart, Jason Garcia & Ira Jourdain!! as @engy5150.bsky.social says, “let’s make the MPRB the employer of choice!”

This thread is a solid case study in why I will be ranking @dewayneforminneapolis.com number one on my ballot in November.

Same!

What is this ridiculous headline @startribune.com?

🤣🤣🤣

There’s money for ICE There’s money for concentration camps There’s money for tax cuts for the wealthy Yet there’s no money for healthcare, housing, food assistance, social support, or public broadcasting. There’s no money to help the sick, homeless & starving Suffering is a political choice

This is how insane people sound when you tell them why A.I. is bad

I need people to understand that kicking people of color out of the DFL is not how we win elections. It’s not how we build coalitions. It’s racist. It’s not the big tent people preach.  I am the only Latino endorsed by the Minneapolis DFL. 3/

Within months, @mndot.mn.gov wants to remove all freeway removal options from its "Rethinking I-94" process--BEFORE the real environmental & health review 30 orgs, including 15 neighborhood associations, have signed onto this letter asking them to keep freeway removal in the mix You can sign too!

My favorite part of being a progressive is getting ratfucked by the Democratic Party so they can try to impress moderates who also hate the Democratic Party.

I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

Say it with me. RFK Jr. is killing children.

He hates big cars too?? 😭😭 I did not think I could adore this guy more, but there you go.

Bill Clinton please endorse my enemies
