This is the Stolen Neighbors Quilt. Each of the 11,000 squares represents a person taken by ICE in Minnesota.

Knowing the law is a pretty important part of being AG. Don't send a copyright lawyer to do the People's Lawyer's job, Minnesota.

Minnesota Republican AG candidate Ron Schutz calls the idea that an AG can help with affordability "preposterous": "Keith Ellison ... he argues that he makes life affordable for Minnesotans, which is just simply preposterous. Who does he think he is? The chairman of the Federal Reserve?"

We got back from @riotfest.bsky.social yesterday. My second favorite festival, but FFS quit booking Morrissey & Johnny Rotten!

Private equity is buying America's hospitals and nursing homes. The playbook: pile on debt, sell the building, cut staff. The result, one landmark study found: patient deaths up about 11%. #news #information #privateequity

It’s due to the commodification of education. We don’t go to school to learn or to think. We go to school to get jobs. And because of the coupling of school to economic future, this is what we get.

It's wild to see how the politics and policy of public schools makes otherwise reasonable liberal and progressive people betray their philosophical beliefs in this one area. Makes you understand how the right has used people's fears about their kids for anti-LGBTQ and anti-public health goals.

Between August 1998 and June 2001, I taught music and French to high school students at Tempe Preparatory Academy in Arizona. It was my first job out of college.

President Trump wants to soften one of the strongest legal protections American workers have: the right to hold an employer accountable when retirement savings are mishandled. Here's what you need to know:

Wall Street Wants to Change the Rules for Your 401(k). It Could Put Your Retirement at Risk.

Financial firms want a bigger piece of the $10 trillion in America’s 401(k) plans, and the Trump administration is planning a regulatory rollback to encourage  less-regulated — and often riskier — inv...

Tonight, on our way to Northeast, an older gentleman in a minivan asked about the meaning of our bumper sticker “Stop confusing your racism for patriotism”.

On the Internet because she doesn’t understand it’s all bots.

Minnesota US Senate Michele Tafoya defends her comments about people telling her they're embarrassed to be from Minnesota: "I hear it every day ... I heard it 10 minutes ago"

The amount of stuff I could fit in my 2003 VW Golf with the seats down…

We need to bring back the hatchback. The people don't want sedans. They don't want stationwagons. They don't want SUVs and crossovers. They want indestructible sporty little hatchbacks with carrying capacity that feels like a bag of holding.

I am going to an offsite work function today, and I would like to take Metro Transit. However, I cannot afford to be late, and my trip has 3 segments. Wish me luck.

I love when Today Me gets a present from Past Me! I am so excited to read this!

The “thing to do” in the 80s/90s as a suburban kid was to go to Downtown or Uptown. It’s in large part why I still go to events in those places. So now you’re discouraging young folks from downtown so they…stop going downtown to spend money as they age? Great strategy.

Dex Anderson@dexanderson.com · 2mo ago

it is SO DUMB that a bunch of people getting together for a fun 30 minutes on scooters ended up with the company throttling their scooters and restricting them from downtown.

Oh. My. Gawd. I’ve listened to you for 20 years?! Where does the time go? Congrats! (And holy shit followed you on the socials almost as long!)

@cinatyte.bsky.social congrats on 20 years on air. Doesn’t seem like that long. Love your work.

"how do we solve the problems of teens not having any place to go and do fun things? I know, we'll restrict all their movement and make it impossible for them to have a third space away from home and school where they can have fun!"

Jake McCormick@mccormjw.bsky.social · 2mo ago

It's been such a good idea over the last 3 decades to gradually close any and all spaces to teenagers.

the rest of the country should know, Minneapolis has a whole story, beginning middle and end, about how right wingnuts and petty centrist corporate libs banded together to stop a coalition of working people united to defund the police and invest that largesse in the people.

Not related to any of my previous Sky farts, I kinda need to own the CC Club.

Make no mistake...there is an attack on the WNBA by men who want to kill the league because it is highly successful.

I just came back from a care meeting at my folks’ facility, and if you wanted to know how it went:

Michele Tafoya sounds like a Facebook comment that some random Floridian posted under an innocuous local news story about a community band competition in a Minneapolis park.

I better start seeing the worst quotes from Tafoya’s dumb podcasts and previous work or I’m gonna accuse the DFL and media of malpractice. She‘s Emmer, really, but a true believer.

This must be an extension of the current protection bikeway that goes along 34th. But I thought the Cedar Ave Reconstruction wanted to remove the 34th/Cedar stoplight? Guess I better go to the next one!!

KC @kcmpls.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I couldn’t look closely, but there is a bike project going down 34th that will cross Cedar and they had some options for that too, but my kid was done and we had to leave.

I wish we could bring back city directories. Even the front part that doesn’t have anyone’s address, but has a complete list of the composition of every layer of government, committees, all the groups you can join and who’s running them and when they meet. All in just 15 pages of text.

Worries an avalanche of dark money might work; uncertainty about how many Dems would turn turtle over “electability”; the Resistance and The Youth doesn’t answer polls; concerns that the fraud thing would stick; Native women always underestimated.

Jason DeRusha@jasonderusha.com · 2mo ago

Why do you think people so severely underestimated Peggy Flanagan and the strength of her support?

FUCK ICE is a winning message. And I don’t think many in the media realized how broad support for that message really is. Like, who did you think the Lutheran ladies holding clandestine no-phones ICE resistance and mutual aid meetings in church basements were gonna vote for???

The Minneapolis equivalent of “Aloha” this winter was, “Be safe. Fuck ICE.”

That sound you hear is Minnesota loudly saying FUCK ICE

The MN GOP is going to get absolutely hammered in November. Let's work to make sure we get unified Democratic contol of the state. Maybe we can even knock out Emmer this year.
