yub nub delilah what's it like in ewok city

I should add that my dad, when I was growing up in the '80s, instructed me very confidently that every president did what Nixon did, only Nixon got caught.

21st century America is a multiracial democracy whose commerce, culture and cuisine reflect the influence of immigrants from every country on earth. The only people seemingly unable to assimilate into this society are white Republicans.

You will be hearing A LOT from me in the coming months and years about improved Medicare for All. I was pushing this 2 decades ago, 1 decade ago, and still. Here's me talking about this in 2017: inthesetimes.com/article/mari... - The US left MUST mount a CONCERTED push now.

yes, yes, the guy that dogwalked you & is delivering on his promises & makes you look exactly as bad at your job as you are -- yes, that guy "has work to do!" I bet Mamdani is *shaking* they are so bad at thissss 🤡

Civil suits. Civil suits are the only thing that has consistently worked against these bastards. From Jones to Giulliani to Trump himself, civil suits are the most functional route to something like justice. If they ever hand you standing and cause, sue the bastards.

Is the homophobia and transphobia in the culture the fault of queer people actually? A tHoRnY—but nEcEsSaRy—qUeStIon.

The billionaires are going on offense with a fake message of helping the little guy. And how benevolent they are as they prepare to lock out their talent and force concession workers on strike.

Every day I'm gobsmacked to see ppl talk about the upcoming elections as if they are normal. The US has never really been a true democracy but the stripping away of the Voting Rights Act returns us fully to a state governed by apartheid rules. Elections will happen but they are not democratic

"How do you do, fellow spouse?"

No one knows how to make something pathogenic from scratch! Neither covid-19 nor HIV was made in a lab. A disease causing phenotype is so unpredictable, so abstract that not even a supercomputer could attempt it.

Wild to look at these Star Tribune poll numbers on data centers knowing half of the Minneapolis City Council supports them. Such a unifying issue across every single demographic and yet some politicians are so captured by corporate interests they still want to shove them down people’s throats.

Hey kids! If you’re in Minneapolis, or can be on Saturday, my wife will be bringing her music to the 331Club, along with her brother’s band Slaphazard, and The Serfs. 331club.com it’s free, it starts at ten, and I’ll be there and presumably quite tired since that’s usually my bedtime. Come on out!

Our latest investigation: How giant trucks and SUVs are far deadlier for pedestrians. “Before the driver knows what’s happened, the pedestrian’s head is under the wheel.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I’m tired of moral victories and want some electoral ones, but the creativity and humor on the left is simply 1000x better than the right 👍🏻

That should trigger an automatic warrant for his hard drive 😳😳😳

it’s pretty wild to me Angie is attempting to distance herself from AIPAC when this video of her pledging loyalty to Israel is from April/May 2025 & barely has 600 views. college students & young folks, check out the 51 second mark: youtu.be/GVpsn45X958

the us government is just three cans of monster energy drink in a trenchcoat

No more centrist pablum! Take a strong moral stance and ATTACK.

Someone in an MPS facebook group did the math and the position cuts are all at schools that primarily serve students of color, especially over north, and the ones gaining positions are all whiter schools over south.

this is true. the last two years our teaching staff has been decimated, esp our arts. our arts staff is cut by 60% from what it was 2 years ago. theater is gone. we have no one to staff drama club, even tho we have program funds, the district is not willing to pay union educators to advise.

balancing the MPS budget is always done on the backs of Black students on the Northside, this year is no exception, so fucking sick of it. i look forward to learning more about how the 3 southside candidates for school board will govern differently & how they plan on truly engaging the Northside.

Nope. Nope nope nope nope.

USPS will not deliver mail ballots to voters from any state that refuses to turn over voter rolls to the federal government. Twenty-three states and various advocacy groups are suing to block the unconstitutional trump election EO.

I'm reading this waiting for the train to take me to the meeting where the state transportation agency will describe how anything less than a full rebuild of our in-city highway is impossible. "‘An equal and habitable world is possible’: academics set out sweeping vision for planetary survival."

Our kids are dying. And they laugh. During a debate on requiring safe storage of guns, a senior House Republican clapped and laughed at their inaction on gun safety. This is not normal. This should never be normal.

Craig is also the ranking member on the House agriculture committee, in line to be chair if Dems retake the majority. That is a hugely powerful role. To just walk away so you can be a junior Senator shows me Craig's campaign is more about personal ambition than governing.

Man, stupid people *love* saying this.

FIFA’s lack of care for the welfare for their referee—why didn’t someone with half a head and heart assign Artan to Canada or Mexico?—stains all the parts they hadn’t already shat on with the BS peace prize and letting the US even play after they bombed a participating nation.

University administrators two years ago: we can’t allow social justice movements to change the university as we know it University administrators today: in order to accommodate the new probabilistic bullshit generator no one likes we must change everything about the university

So every local media outlet making sure to carry law enforcement water "No one has shot back" They are just waiting him out. Well of course - he's a white guy with a gun. The response for this is really overwhelming. They didn't send this when there was a shooting at encampment.

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.

You can’t break our spirit or our enormous god-pencil.

Ok, Bari Weiss has gone from an annoying piece of shit to someone who can fuck off to hell.

putting up the minneapolis mutuals bat signal tomorrow at noon WCCO is going to be at 56 brewing to interview the owner about xcel energy forcing them to tear down the side patio. staff has encouraged folks to swing by and be visibly enjoying themselves at that time (not that it's hard to do)

Remember, the Aquatennial is at its heart anti-labor. It was created out of a capitalist desire to dilute and distract from the various picnics, parades, and memorial events held in the summer, born from Bloody Friday and the general strike of 1934.

Hey Minnesotans - time to Stand with New Jersey! They’re going through what we did with Whipple. Info on how to help here: www.standwithminnesota.com/jersey Thanks to @ziibiing.com!

This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

I'm sorry but if some guy with infinite wealth buys a newspaper, that newspaper should never have to worry about $ ever again. Hope Glen Taylor's great-great-grandkids can afford a few more jet skis now.

Is it normal for the Attorney General of the United States to refuse to put things in writing?

We're drinkin' union beers this month.

I've been saying for YEARS to go after the School Vouchers! Arizona & Texas are probably just as bad.

Separate post: Strength to your shield arm, Jersey. Fuck ICE. Love, Minneapolis

I was much more centrist when I was younger. Conservative, even, in some respects. What radicalized me? The Minnesota Republican Party. Fuck these ghouls.

Drag Amy Klobuchar to the left as hard as we drag her for her shitty decisions and actions. If we can't have a DFL nomination for Governor we are proud of, we will just have to do it ourselves by electing a legislature that will make it impossible for Klob to Klob.

It’s telling how many of the large news organizations who are flush with money aren’t sending journalists to cover ICE (and now state trooper) violence overnight outside Delaney Hall and the independent outlets with far less financial and insurance coverage are braving it.

Just going to keep reminding myself to read this thread.

yes, this! “the ‘unitary executive’ is, quite simply, incompatible with a theory of checks and balances.”
