Hey, MINNESOTA!! If you haven't already, be sure to cast your ballot before 8pm today! HELP PRESERVE OUR DEMOCRACY!! Use this state website to determine where to vote: pollfinder.sos.mn.gov
Yeah, sure. Minnesota is so incompetent that they attempted to hack their own water systems, failed, and also accidentally hacked systems in several other states as well. Soooo much more plausible than the perpetrator being a country he has waged war against.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."
Ugh. This is not what I thought "drain the swamp" meant. We need strict laws to prevent future presidents from cosplaying as HGTV hosts.

It’s New Foods Day for the Minnesota State Fair and this, to me, is the promise of America www.mnstatefair.org/new/food
Senator Tina Smith is a leading advocate for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in northern Minnesota. Last year, Senator Smith introduced the Boundary Waters Wilderness Protection Act to put permanent protections in place for the area. #WeAreAmerica250
Emmer is the one who needs to assimilate. Not just with Minnesota but with decent human beings in general.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoTom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."
I randomly found myself watching this tonight. In addition to this principled young man, there have been many other award winners that have been willing to speak the plain truth about the state of the world they are documenting. Extremely heartening.
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 3mo agoCampos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.
This is such a beautiful recap of Mayday in Minneapolis! 🧵
Naomi Kritzer@naomikritzer.bsky.social · 3mo agoMinneapolis celebrates spring with a parade of giant handmade socialist puppets and a festival where people row the sun across the lake. This year's Mayday festival was today, and I'm going to try to share some photos and videos (many taken by others) to try to explain it for my non-local friends.
For the first time in 11 years, the #mnwild are in the victorious side of a handshake line and will advance to play Colorado in the second round. Three consecutive wins to eliminate Dallas to snap 8 consecutive first-round exits. Absolute master class at even-strength.
Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.
Currently listening to Senators Smith and Klobuchar go to bat for the Boundary Waters. I appreciate their late night effort, but am near tears as I listen to them talk about its importance and the major threat against it. Hasn't our state suffered enough? www.savetheboundarywaters.org

🧵 Amazing thread. Worth a read. Congratulations, Hungary!

omg those astronauts who are parents? THEY CAN LITERALLY TELL THEIR CHILDREN “I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK”
AMERICANS having fun is a great thing! It's obvious this was a special day - I believe someone else mentioned the last day of Ramadan. (Not that it matters, but MOA doesn't look like this on a typical day. Certainly not when I was there 2 days ago. Just know that this is a cherry-picked video.)
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4mo agoDonald Trump just posted a video of Somali people enjoying the Mall of America to the soundtrack of “Mad World” because he is a bigoted POS

At home with the kids, watching livestreams of the protests. For lunch we're having Protest Pasta, Solidarity Soup with grilled cheese, and Rebel Ramen. (Yes, I'm a short-order cook.) Love my kidlets! Sending love to all of the Rebel Loons out there and wishing a peaceful, epic day at the capitol!
Sending love and comfort to the family and friends of Jessi Pierce. I was up all night thinking of her husband who not only lost his wife and children, but lost the ability to retreat to his home and dog for solace. Truly awful.
Bring Me The News@bringmethenews.bsky.social · 5mo agoDevastating news as the victims of the fatal house fire in White Bear Lake have been identified as sports media personality Jessi Pierce and her three children. https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-news/sports-media-personality-jessi-pierce-her-3-children-die-in-white-bear-lake-fire
This is so cool! I love that it elevates an entire collective movement and not just one spokesperson.
MPR News@mprnews.org · 5mo agoThe John F. Kennedy Library Foundation said it chose to honor Twin Cities residents “for risking their lives to protect their neighbors and immigrant community members from an unprecedented federal law enforcement operation."
Remember a few months ago when we were (supposedly) less safe and the entire state of Minnesota was (supposedly) being terrorized by roving gangs of Somalis? I want to go back to that, please.
Andrew Karre@andrewkarre.bsky.social · 6mo agoThis is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
Oh, sure. Except a Real ID is not proof of citizenship. Most people don't carry a passport around, assuming they even have one. I've never known anyone to carry copies of their birth certificate/marriage/divorce documentation. Mullin continues to exhibit a great lack of critical thinking skills.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6mo agoMarkwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."
Does this also mean DHS will claim to be unable to facilitate the court-ordered return of Minnesota refugees? www.fox9.com/news/judge-u...
The Associated Press@apnews.com · 6mo agoThe FAA is closing the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas for 10 days, grounding all flights to and from the airport, for “special security reasons." The FAA's notice did not provide additional details.

Wait until they find out my kids used to record license plates while sitting in the school dropoff line. They would write them in a little spy journ... I mean notebook because they wanted to find out if other people regularly arrived at the exact same time we did. The training starts early in MN!
