MN Guy

MN guy. More practical than liberal. More liberal than conservative. More conservative than libertarian. More libertarian than communist. Wild spaces enthusiast. Fan of the commons. Dreams are bigger than my reality.
Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.
Chipotle isolated a single source of Jalapeno peppers contaminated with Salmonella. They figured it out. RFK Jr. can’t
More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.
Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue
Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.
There are no winners here: Pirro’s reinforced she’s just an unscrupulous glove puppet. Burgum’s shown once again he’s a cowardly sycophant. Yet again Trump refuses to admit to a screwup that he engineered. So fragile! And nice guy David Hearns has been put through Hell for all their fragilities.
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
If I tell a blind man that it's safe to cross the street when I can see a bus is coming & he is killed, I will be arrested, & rightfully so. If I tell an ignorant man not to get vaccinated because vaccines are deadly, & they die of a preventable disease, I'm not arrested. What's the distinction?
Perimeters, not parameters. An excursion, not an incursion. Six genders, not cisgender. Insane asylums, not asylum. Transgender mice, not transgenic mice. The IQ of a potato.
RFK Jr and wife had a soiree at their Hollywood mansion during COVID and required proof of COVID vaccination with RSVP. Watch what they do, not what they say. –Rachel Maddow
The “Why would a woman I’ve made worry that I will hurt her if she displeases me cook to placate me?” question is only asked by the least self-aware domestic abusers.
People really have no idea what 25mph on a bicycle is. Without a motor, this is not casual.
We need more data centres.. ....how else are are billionnaires gonna convert huge volumes of precious water and electricity into job losses?
“Let me give you a line published by the AP yesterday: The U.S. government ‘has spent $827 billion so far this fiscal year to service the national debt, more than it has devoted to national defense.’” Trump and the GOP Congress: More for debt than for defense. open.substack.com/pub/jaynordl...

We know how to decarbonise our energy systems. We know how to decarbonise road and rail transportation. We know how to produce low carbon cement and steel. Humanity doesn’t have to suffer ever worse heatwaves and droughts. We can avoid this.
“Judges simply don’t believe the representations that are being made by United States attorneys, assistant United States attorneys and the like,” a former federal judge said. “I don’t think ... in the history of jurisprudence in the United States, we’ve ever seen anything close to this.”
Federal Judges Chastise Trump’s Justice Department for “Unlawful,” “Unethical” and “Unseemly” Conduct
ProPublica reviewed hundreds of cases in which judges criticized the actions of federal prosecutors. In many, judges expressed frustration that they can no longer take the government at its word.

There is nothing but a "stream of consciousness" coming out of the OVAL OFFICE and it is dangerous, VERY dangerous
Remember when David Hogg was running for DNC chair and the establishment stepped in and said we needed a responsible adult and then gave us Ken Martin, who throws his phone at his staffers? Also the DNC is $2 million in debt. But centrists still demand they should be in charge.
