MyPillow CEO and GOP MN gubernatorial candidate Mike Lindell says he plans to completely eliminate Minnesota’s income tax: "... We (Minnesota) will be the 10th state in the nation to be income tax-free." #farmfest

Advocates in CT spent over a decade trying to get automated enforcement to reduce speeding and redlight running with tremendous oversight over the program to only have police depts with NO oversight dropping flock cameras everywhere. WTF.

I’m imagining the mayor of St. Paul carrying around a boombox playing, “Closing Time” as encampments are “cleared”

Well, not quite — venture involves risk. It’s just corruption!

Is the Trump White House turning into a public sector VC? For @fastcompany.com I asked the experts www.fastcompany.com/91583329/tru...

I had to code and pronounce a time of death on a respiratory therapist colleague. There's a memorial plaque for her outside the emergency department to this day. I wrote and re-wrote my will. I will never forgive these ghouls trying to rewrite history and deny our experience.

RFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>

I think they are standing with him because they do not believe women and children are people and do believe that men are allowed to do whatever

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 16h ago

This is why this is not just about Max Miller. It’s about “devout Christian” House Republican leadership who is standing with this guy because they crave power above all else. It’s the culture of MAGA and it comes straight from Trump. Vote them out.

The short answer is that their boss, the Mayor, is too weak to hold them accountable

Eric@ericandredion.bsky.social · 17h ago

Hey Minneapolis. Can someone explain it to me like I’m an idiot: why is MPD allowed to just spend money they don’t have and then say “we’re over budget.” And there’s never any questions that the city has to pay?

current state of the US military, as observed by Ozzy Osbourne: GENERALS GATHERED IN THEIR MASSEESSSSSSS HORDES OF MEN WIRH UNWASHED ASSES

Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · 21h ago

Surely someone has studied our modern epidemic of conservative men with unwashed asses.

Trump is the diarrhea president.

Our block, unusually, did not arrange a national night out. So kid and I went the block up the hill, which has a bouncy castle and an ice cream truck, but no homemade food.

Local republicans in denial (All of Minneapolis) endorse Folk for county attorney. Film at 11.

This is rape culture.

TAPPER: Hold on -- hold on, 'cause I'm not done with the list of women who have accused you of violence. Are all three of them lying? REP. MAX MILLER: Yes. And I'm not getting out of the race because in 2016, President Donald J Trump faced the most extreme allegations in the world ...

OH at the beach: I was on the plane and this older guy was next to me, well, not older but in his thirties…

Seems like a personal insult to Diarrhea Donny

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

MPD was ~$30m over budget last I checked. Frey is an embarrassment.

The Mayor is bad at his job

Minnesota Star Tribune@startribune.com · yesterday

More than 100 city employees could be laid off in Minneapolis in the first major layoffs in 16 years as the city faces a $33 million budget gap.

Was finish up mi bike ride and thinking I should be on the lookout for a Flanagan/Folk yard sign combination (bcs wtf) and, ope, there’s one

Whether someone realizes it or not, accepting the "liberal bubble" framing at all is a way of granting the utterly absurd notion that the globally reviled and increasingly unpopular views of the reactionary right are the norm

Ian Boudreau@ianboudreau.com · 2d ago

"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.

Biked 1 mile to coffee. Then biked another mile to the pharmacy. Then biked 1 mile home. 95% on protected (separated) bike infra. More Americans deserve the freedom of a life like this (if they want it).

One of the first reactions I have to this is that I spent most of my high school sporting years being punished for being strong - being told to be less intimidating, less aggressive, to tamp myself down. Which over time demotivated and deskilled me. How many athletes have been similarly reduced? 1/3

Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 2d ago

it's interesting how many men get satisfaction out of knowing that other men can beat elite female athletes. like ok, maybe the best high school boys team in the country can beat a WNBA team, but YOU can't

I’m not certain all of the foodborn illnesses are because of Trump/DOGE cuts but I’m also not certain they aren’t

“Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. removed jalapeños from multiple stores in Minnesota after learning the peppers may be linked to a salmonella outbreak in the state that’s sickened 110 people.”

its very telling that the mainstream media narrative is that dsa has wacky and unreasonable positions when the republican party position is that abortion should be banned, latino families should be put in concentration camps, black people should be shot by cops and transgender people shouldnt exist

Yes but I don’t know that we realize how much cancer treatments being expensive is also a policy choice - we use patent monopolies to incentive innovation

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · yesterday

Even healthcare is kind of a complicated case. In the past you were paying for treatments that didn't work, or sometimes not paying because no treatment was available. Yes, treating cancer costs a fortune... but fifty years ago, a lot of the time, the treatment plan was "wait for death"

You can see the very obvious throughline from “men could transition and easily dominate women’s sports” to “women’s sports are lesser and shouldn’t be taken seriously” to “women shouldn’t play sports” to “here are the acceptable life choices for women”

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 2d ago

"It's about protecting women's sports which, by the way, I hate more than anything in the world."

A secondary goal, beyond the primary goal of wratcheting up racist terror is to pull more women out of the labor market w/ care duties under threat of disabled and elderly family being subject to institutional conditions that have led to an 11% spike in death rates in nursing homes and hospitals

Gabe Ortíz@tusk81.bsky.social · last wk.

This entirely self-inflicted crisis will be particularly felt in Florida, which is home to about half of the nation’s 350,000 Haitian #TPS holders. Roughly 35,000 of these community members work as nurses or home health aides👇🏽

And in Trump’s case, it’s not a one-off! He has dozens upon dozens of accusers. His best friend was a serial rapist of teen girls. He has confessed on tape to sex assaults. He defends every other rapist. Is currently obstructing a law to reveal more pedophiles. Not super newsworthy apparently!

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
