Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

Fancy Pig — Sister Bay WI

Fancy Pig!

Ephraim, WI.

Classic August storm thru the east borderlands overnight…1.6” of rain.

The sky just opened up here in Stillwater! Finished mowing the lawn just in the me. #mnwx

Twins 💥

11:45 pm — Took a walk around my short block just now … sipping a bit of whiskey. Came across a neighbor walking his pup and I startled him. I recognize him but I don’t know his name. I said good evening (which was the startle) and I’m out enjoying the Moon. He said it’s the Strawberry Moon.

Wonderfully written review by @deardara.bsky.social !! My mouth started watering just a 1/4 way through the article. And yes…I’ll probably fill-up too soon by the dim sum carts as well.

Assuming that’s it for rain … got 0.85” here in Stillwater. And a layer of pollen or dissolved Canadian wildfire smoke floating on top.

I can’t believe how many helicopters are on my silver maple trees this spring!! Bucket crop for sure.

NBA Finals between two states that would club the vulnerable to death with the Ten Commandments

Long two days on the highway. Yesterday Stillwater —> Gilette WY Today Gilette —> Salt Lake City. Went thru absolutely beautiful country!!

Great start for the #MNTwns again this eve!!

Look at this nut job in Stillwater today!! Hitch cover / license plate / and all the jackassery stickers! #they’rebrainwashed #mustsupportdearleader

A bit of hail & about .05” of rain over here in Stillwater. #MNWX

Finally some rain here in Stillwater!

Nicely done Wisconsin!!

Buy yourself a flaming Tesla ride the hell outta there, Elon!

MLB.TV / Twins.TV needs to find some commercial sponsors soon! Team mascot puppet on a popsicle stick race and find the ball under the cap is getting pretty old.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Twins scoring runs!!

Looking across the St Croix River at Wisconsin — Election Day eve. All seems quiet on the western front. 👀 #VoteSusanCrawford

This is what corruption looks like.

Is there anything worse than getting the hiccups right before going to bed?!

😡

Sunday Lump.

After the Bell Museum, capped off the day with a delicious farewell meal at Saint Dinette in St Paul. They close the doors next week. Really will miss this one.

Had a wonderful few hours today exploring the @bellmuseum.bsky.social Such a fantastic natural sciences museum to have in the Twin Cities!! Most of the dioramas are restored from the 1920’s - 1940’s origins!

0.35” of rain here on Stillwater’s north hill.

I’m trying to stay awake to see the whole of the moon. 🩸 🌕 And maybe even Brigadoon.

I was at Como Park today looking for the latest avian interloper & celeb … the pygmy nuthatch. No luck…I was there midday and odds were slim. I’ll try again. Beautiful day for a walk tho…and we are so very fortunate to have this gem in The State! #MarjoryMcNeelyConservatory

Just need the little key/wrench dealio. Build it & they will come!!

Wonderful day at the Minnesota State Capitol! Great turnout for the #InternationalWomen’sDay march!! @lwvminnesota.bsky.social organized and our local St Croix Valley @indivisible.org group was there! #thisiswhatdemocracylookslike

An absurd amount of snow here in Stillwater.

I do not understand how anybody who watched that address to Congress would say … yes, we’re going in a right direction for our country.

“Mr Lewis, we’re going to build beautiful ships together.”

This is a reality tv show. Jason … you’re a winner!!

1” of snow and 1 bottle of wine down so far. This #shitshow is unbelievable.

🤬

The party of “free speech” just had @algreen.house.gov kicked out of the Joint Address.

Our Senator @smith.senate.gov has nothing to lose … I hope she drops trou and moons the mango moron tonight.

This is what Democracy looks like. #IndivisibleMinnesota #Resist

BREAKING: Ontario’s terminating its $100-million deal with Starlink, and US companies will be barred from future contracts. They warned NY, Michigan, and Minnesota if the tariffs persist, Ontario will impose a 25% surcharge on electricity and may cut off the supply entirely.

This reality show premise of finding the dumbest MFer in the country and making him president isn’t going well. Season 1 sucked. Season 2 is much worse.
