Like it's very clear to me who actually read the article and has real principles around not tolerating sexual harassment

There will always be a “next thing” asking to go first and then it will help us solve climate change. But really, we just have to do it now and stop waiting. We have all the tools we need.

I think a party that can welcome anti-Trump Republicans can also embrace members of the DSA. I think it should, actually

Literally, by mildly inconveniencing a dozen men, we could afford to provide the wildest dreams of every socialist (free healthcare, free education, universal basic income). Tax anyone with more than $1 billion all the way down to $999 million and they’d still have more money than they could spend.

That means getting everyone in your station on a WhatsApp chat, monitoring the Air Quality Index together, and discussing how high it would have to get for everyone to demand a mask, or even for everyone to bring the mail back, Partridge writes 5/5 www.labornotes.org/blogs/2026/0...

They're taking away health care from seniors and children and people with disabilities, all so they can punish the states that didn't vote for him. This isn't solving any of the problems they're pretending to care about.

US pauses $1 billion in Medicaid payments to California, Minnesota

The Trump administration is pausing $1 billion in ​Medicaid payments to California and Minnesota over "suspected fraud and noncompliance," U.S. Health Secretary ‌Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Tuesday.

It's amazing how the convo about public safety, the police never have to produce any evidence of efficacy, on any particular level, and folks who irrationally scream for more police, despite police lack of proving, those voices get elevated when we need a rational convo the most.

$37.5 billion dollars is almost 5 years of WIC funding. we could feed the most vulnerable women and children in our country for five years for what they’ve spent on five months of useless war.

The U.S. Secretary of Defense just stated that—so far—the war with Iran has cost $37.5 billion dollars. That's since February. That same amount is how much the United States spent on planetary science from FY2013 through FY2026 inclusive. Thirteen years of planetary science or five months of war.

MPD feedback session around their reform efforts July 22. They’ve done a shit job advertising it, so get the word out. www.minneapolismn.gov/things-to-do...

They could appoint a replacement and say if you're so alive, show up and contest it! Just cart your ass outside of the hospital and wave to the 3 helicopters that will be hovering around waiting for you like an undead groundhog

Randi Mayem Singer@rmayemsinger.bsky.social · 2w ago

Beshear needs to do what Mitch would do in his shoes. The law they made to stop Beshear from appointing a replacement violates the state constitution. Make the friggin' appointment!!! Make them prove he's alive or take you to court (which will prove he's not alive).

The "defund the police" cost Democrats countless elections claim always sits awkwardly with the fact that peak "defund" activism was 2020, the year that Democrats won their first federal governing trifecta since 2008.

@amyklobuchar.com, calling Lindsay Graham a friend is disgusting and tells us you are friends with vile hypocrites who take away our rights and support this murderous regime.

ICE agents shouldn’t be executing people on the street even if they ARE the target of the warrant

One thing I would love is if, when a straight white guy “sees the light” and joins the left, he would volunteer for a community group and like knock doors for someone who’d been on the left for ages instead of immediately wanting to be the candidate. It’d be like a litmus test for if they’re serious

Remember when Vance said watergate was no big deal. That was because they are doing worse multiple times every day

This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.

As a history nerd who grew up Catholic and was super into the various doctrinal debates, I am so excited we are getting a new schism. I have zero idea of the ramifications of it.

Community not conspiracy. Drop the charges on the MN 15. If they are guilty, we all are. Organizing to defend your neighbors is decency not criminality.

Youth sports are about joy, personal development, and comradery. All of which should be equally accessible to trans youth as cis youth.

elizabeth shaffer’s comments on why she voted against repealing the ban on bathhouses in Minneapolis, being one of only 2 city council members to oppose it along with pearll warren. she cites loring park and older members of LGBTQ community as why she voted this way

very disappointing that elizabeth shaffer voted no on repealing the bathhouse ban in minneapolis as she is the council member representing loring park, the historic LGBTQ neighborhood of the city, as we head into pride weekend

mary moriarty is the wedge live cat tour’s grand marshal for 2026! “thank you for prosecuting ICE,” says john edwards as susan lynx hands over the sash and a hat

I’m having some feels that I’m skipping the Wedge Live Cat Tour to be at the Independent Evaluator progress review meeting. I think I would be a happier person if I made different decisions.

Apparently It’s only a big tent if you agree to bend the knee to republicans, donors, and the wealthy. The establishment is shaking tonight because they are finally realizing how out of touch they are.

I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.

you people need to show more respect for the political machinery that lost to donald trump twice

@mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social's process to hire a new police chief. Some observations: 1. No community representation in selection process 2. Process is led by twice rejected acting public safety commissioner 3. all the quotes are from minority council members content.govdelivery.com/bulletins/gd...

Has anyone seen the Mud Man of Hidden Beach this spring?

It seems somewhat bad that the richest man in the world can use his money to bankrupt individuals or organizations -- including officials who are tasked with holding him accountable -- that accurately point out that his actions plausibly facilitated the deaths of millions.

turns out being deliberately antagonistic towards the people who elected you in order to court people who would under no circumstances ever vote for you is not smart

Bikes don’t work for every person & every trip, just as cars don’t work for every person & every trip. Our communities are better when individuals have the freedom to choose from multiple safe, efficient modes of travel. 2/2
