Maybe it’s just me, but it seems making your product more less and less usable seems like a bad business model.

Yup. Our best recourse is to run up margins in the MNLEG for a DFL caucus that can push AK. Most of what Walz takes credit for was the work of Kari and Melissa. Remember that.
Fossilized Tree Sap@amberrl.bsky.social · 11h agoI would fucking love it if you all would stop making me come on here and tell you to grow the fuck up. You have to fill in the box next to Klob’s name. I hate her too—probably even more than you do. But DeMuth is worse. If you do not vote for Klob, you are voting against Minnesota.
I just think of you’re expecting executive function from me, then you should pay me like an executive.
I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.
Truthout@truthout.org · yesterdayRep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.
Gosh, anyone know anyone who voted to approve all of this?!?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdaySusan Collins: "I think what happened is far too many ICE officers were hired and deployed without adequate vetting and training"
When you are right, but not in the way you think you are

If there is a lesson for all of us in Katie Zacharia, it’s that we were clearly being WAY too hard on ourselves with that imposter syndrome business. We were FINE.
This is how all of this should be reported. We need this every single day.

Woo-hoo! Just finished the resources page I will be sharing with the Nerd Night folks at @blackhartstp.com tomorrow night. If you want to learn about the enneagram in a casual, beery, sweary setting, come on down tomorrow at 7 pm and bring your questions.
It’s easy for this corrupt, power hungry administration to view someone like Ilhan as a threat to their need for obedience and control.

Vice signaling is a hell of a thing
Hundreds showed up tonight at Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis for a rally to support Rep. Ilhan Omar after her DC home was searched by federal agents this morning. The Department of Justice says it was "part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation".
We all know klob has to win a statewide election and we are still all allowed to push her to be better.
It's not at all hyperbolic to say the president is trying to denaturalize and deport my congressional representative
David Brauer@dbrauer.net · 3d agoStephen Miller wants to de-naturalize Ilhan Omar based on paperwork her father filled out when she was a child … www.foxnews.com/politics/ilh...
Part of the work of this moment is to insist on and expect compliance — and ensure that any noncompliance or efforts to lie to or otherwise mislead courts remain unacceptable and to be investigated thoroughly whenever they happen. They must remain seen — and responded to — as an aberration.
"This is performative" okay well the fascists are performing bigotry so let's have everybody use the time that has been given to them.
Max Dubler 🏳️🌈@maxdubler.com · 2d agoYes, of course McDonald’s posting about National Coming Out Day is “performative.” Nobody thinks Ronald McDonald threw the first brick at Stonewall. Nonetheless, the biggest and most influential institutions in American life performing affirmation of LGBT social and civil equality is a good thing.
Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume? New Testament scholar: 40 days in the wilderness. Fasting. Hallucinations. It was a whole thing.
helen@helensmith.bsky.social · 3d agoInterviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume? Early medievalist: "The manuscript, though well preserved on the whole, has suffered severe damage in several places."
I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.
Americans see this for what it is - President Trump is abusing his power to go after political opponents weeks before an election.
The Associated Press@apnews.com · 3d agoBREAKING: Federal agents searched Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's home as part of a criminal investigation, AP sources say.
And that line will continue until it connects with every single person in this country who is not a straight white male conservative Christian
La Girafe@lashawndab.blacksky.app · 2d agoThere’s a straight line from Obama’s birth certificate to the Omar raid.
Also during a couple of the NFL games today, they had beer ads with women (!) who were blatantly Black, Latina, and even Of Vague Ethnicity. Wokeness levels are absolutely soaring.

There will be an understandable urge to assign the problem to one person, whether that be the mayor or someone who may have started the fire or building owners who had too much flammable shit stored haphazardly. But it doesn’t matter. MANY things led to this massive loss. MANY things are true.
If you’re like me and mad about Amy Klobuchar being the DFL nominee for governor: DO SOMETHING WITH THAT ENERGY Invest in competitive down ballot races that are must win seats, if progressive policy is going to have a future in MN the next 4 years 👇 Read this thread and get involved! 👇
