Hi Minnesotan Bluesky: The DFL has a well-known transphobia problem. I'm organizing to change the party platform in 2026 to be explicitly supportive of trans people in Minnesota. This will provide a basis for expelling transphobia from our party. Join me: abetterdfl.org.

I have questions

Good.

Much encouraged to start reading a book of poetry with this epigraph:

Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!

Great signs at the Minneapolis #nokings

Ready.

Wanna to go to a virtual No Kings rally that focuses on healthcare (with a side of "vaccines are good, actually" and "eugenics is bad, actually")? Organized by disabled folks who can't go to an in-person event. Join Saturday at 2:30pm Pacific time, zoom link: us06web.zoom.us/j/8467741742...
