“They're gonna claim that we’re extreme. They're gonna claim we're socialists, or communists, or whatever sound is carries in a headline. And in return, we'll say, is that the best you can do?” “They want this to be a contest of names, because they know they’ll lose a contest of ideas.”

When we say "defund the police" what we mean is "they literally scam-overtime bankrupted this city."

I swear to god he is going to say Christopher Nolan should have cast Melania Trump as Helen.

El-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.

Doing some napkin math on the New York Times estimates of votes coming in and the current registered voters, it would seem that the total voter turnout in just the Democratic primary this year will be ~19% in Michigan. In Minnesota, our most recent big primary contest in 2018 had 27.8% turnout.

Transwestern is representing First Western Bank & Trust, selling the Love Power Church half-block (1.12 acres) in Seven Corners, West Bank, Minneapolis, Minnesota. If developed similar to other properties, this parcel could add more than $150,000 in annual property tax revenue for just the City.

Thanks to @jason4parks.bsky.social and @taylordahlin.com for coming to the Elliot Park grand re-opening! I talked to the mayor of Elliot Park, Thomas, about his new tee shirt for his birthday in September. But then I was kind of exhausted by the day, and went home. I hope ribbon-cutting was fun!

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.

Thank you to @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social for running a positive, big-tent campaign. With the vote here very tight, it shows why she was pushed out, and I think that was very sad. We need more ranked choice voting in all elections so voters can have more choices and rank nice people first.

U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) is 69 years old and is running for reelection in 2026. He will be 76 by the end of his next term.

Sen. Merkley: Last year, Republicans said 'we don't like this Medicaid program, so we're going to cut it.' So they slashed over $1T from the Medicaid program, and it will kick more than 15 million Americans off their health insurance. Less affluent families lose, and billionaires win.

While it is true that Trump exhibits many traits of antisocial personality disorder, he is lucid in the present reality. Psychosis is a medical condition experienced by millions of Americans during their lifetimes, and it has nothing to do with negative behavior per se. Many of us live with trauma.

i personally think it would be really nice if we all stopped using the names of mental health disorders to describe things that are clearly not that mental health disorder.

The corruption in the White House and Trump’s assault on our freedoms and our futures is terrifying and maddening. We NEED to elect progressive majorities in the house and senate this Nov to pull our democracy back from the brink. Here’s how you can help in Minnesota: (1/5)
