Here we go Minnesota. The State Fair starts in a week. You going to mask in crowds now?

Although the autumn respiratory illness season hasn’t kicked off, and flu and RSV activity remain low, there’s a growing summer wave of Covid-19. https://cnn.it/4xLCaLB

As with any county, a lot of Anoka’s election meetings (including public accuracy tests of voting equipment) are open to the public. If all authorities see are deniers, it hurts democracy defense. www.anokacountymn.gov/220/Election...

For followers who live in Anoka County: Parrish is relying on an election denier group’s charge that voting equipment is uncertified; it isn’t but deniers are tireless & they’ve roped in a commissioner. If you have the time to support the Anoka Election board & attend meetings, it’d be helpful.

Yesterday afternoon, Phillip Parrish - Mike Lindell's lieutenant gubernatorial candidate here in Minnesota - filed an election contest in the Minnesota Supreme Court (which has original jurisdiction over such cases). Parrish is representing himself, and Lindell isn't on the filing.

Have you heard of Natural Organic Reduction? It’s human body composting. And I really really really want this for me when I pass. writeousnessjournal.blogspot.com/2026/08/back...

BREAKING: the Democratic National Committee just unanimously approved a resolution calling for the abolition of ICE! After terrorizing our friends, families, and neighbors, ICE has no place in our nation. I'm grateful @democrats.org agreed. Now we're onto the hard work to make that happen!

And only a couple of these will be available in the MNSURE marketplace. Probably the most expensive ones.

Spoiler alert: your health insurance premiums will almost certainly be going up once again by far more than wages. We can have better.

The kids are alright.

I reported this last week and again with updated info yesterday -- I also talk about Long Covid, which this article does not. Do yourself and your communities a favor, and read Threat Model. It's free. No ads. Stay informed, stay ahead of the surges, and stay safe -- not when it's too late.

Just like all previous summers since the pandemic began, COVID-19 cases are ticking up again, even while other health threats make more headlines. n.pr/45oln5k

My bday is the 1st week of September Look what I found on Etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/4481...

I definitely live in a bubble. I thought Doug Chapin would do better. I'm stunned at the concentration of MAGA republicans in CD6. #DFL electionresults.sos.mn.gov/Results/Inde...

The takeaway from yesterday? Organized people beat (and came VERY close to beating) big money. We can do this.

Now's the time to become an election judge if you've been thinking about it.

We‘re marching steadily to a 2027 special Senate election, meaning Minneapolis election judges will be denied their first year off since 2019. Here‘s to 2031 maybe!

The first law of American politics is that pundits will draw sweeping conclusions from a single, narrowly decided result. A race decided by less than 0.5 percent of votes cast: had it gone the other direction, the headlines would be about the unstoppable force of progressive candidates.

OF COURSE tickets to the Obama Presidential Center sell like Beyonce tickets. You have to get in line early and hope you're high enough in the queue that you'll get a ticket. On Wednesday they're selling a few tickets for October but all the tickets for JANUARY will be on sale. In August. 😐 #Obama

Our friend @peggyflanagan.bsky.social will stop by later today to discuss how we can help get her people-powered campaign across the finish line! Plus, @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social answer your top-ranked questions. Join the conversation: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Hennepin County friends! Vote for Cedrick!

JBF@jbf.bsky.social · 2mo ago

If I lived in Hennepin County, I’d be voting for @cedrickfrazier.bsky.social I worked with him for many years and can tell you he is one of the most principled, unflappable, and effective public officials I’ve ever worked with.

Reason number 783 I'm not watching this. I want to hear nothing more from three of them. And if I hear Angie's voice one more time I'm going to throw something.

content warning: loud disgusting transphobia from Royce White

Joan Baez painted a portrait of Dr. Fauci August 2020, featuring the word "TRUST" as a tribute to his scientific truth-telling during the COVID-19 pandemic. The viral artwork became part of her Mischief Makers 2 art exhibit and sparked a lasting personal friendship between the two.

My name is Ali Daniels. I took the photo of Liam Ramos, and the PAC North Star Dawn is using that photo in paid advertisement to spread lies about Peggy Flanagan. They do not have my consent to use the image, and I am prepared to take legal action if it is not taken down. @angiecraigmn.bsky.social

Vote now in person for MN's primary election! Through August 11, you can vote early at your city hall (see www.votejesslewis.com/vote for details)! This primary election will determine which candidates advance to the November ballot for key offices that shape our communities—and your vote matters.

Team @ilhanmn.bsky.social out knocking doors in downtown Minneapolis with @peggyflanagan.bsky.social @cedrickfrazier.bsky.social and @maxwellfrost.bsky.social We've got a lot of voters to talk to before the August 11th primary!

I want to point out they used a company in Georgia. Not Minnesota.

DFL Senate Caucus blew $41k on protecting Ron Latz in a safe DFL seat -- 32% of their total candidate spending so far this year -- more than triple what they spent in actual swing districts to protect candidates Grant Hauschild and Eric Putnam that we actually need to maintain a majority.

Yesterday I saw two weirdo birds on unusual perches - a Green Heron on a sign, and a Spotted Sandpiper on a bat nesting box. #birds #birding #Ancaster #HamOnt

Why, that's the same amount we spent on Police overtime pay in 2025!

Minneapolis leaders are weighing budget cuts and a possible property tax increase as the city faces a $30 million shortfall.

bruh, you cannot, must not look away when they trying to sell you $31 million in police overtime (to an already bloated $230 million budget), sell you a "mysterious" $30 mil budget deficit and need for you to pony up more cash. You should be outraged. You should demand better.

In my latest, I talk with @silkys13.bsky.social about the struggle against ICE. How are the government’s tactics shifting, and how must we respond? We also discuss the tremendous victory of fighting off the warehouse model for the regime’s concentration camps, and where the fight goes from here.

The Fight Against ICE Has Entered a New Phase
