I mean, she’s not. She’s from California. She lives in Minnesota. I, too, would be embarrassed to tell people I’m from Minnesota, because I’m not. The lack of truth would cause me embarrassment.

It’s a bold strategy. Let’s see if it works out for her.

Anyone know who has been their purported boss for those seven years??

Under-caffeinated hippopotamus@ellenjyd.bsky.social · yesterday

1) MPD got a 22% raise in their latest contract. 2) MPD has apparently not managed to stay in budget for SEVEN YEARS. 3) They are blowing their budget by tens of millions of dollars a year. We are draining Minneapolis dry to pay for an MPD that refused to answer the phone all winter.

I heard someone bragging about their glasses last year. Then this year they were credibly accused of inappropriate behavior with minors.

Andrew Pope@andrewpope.bsky.social · 6h ago

I hate, hate these pervert glasses. Listen to this guy interrupting the filming of Cunk on Cinema. What an entitled dick.

Now compare how Francesca Hong has been treated compared to Graham Platner.

And sometimes, over time, one person falls into all three types.

Those stage mics at just about every event are not side address microphones. You have to speak into and not at the tube. Into. Not at the side of it. If you speak at the side of an SM57/8, your voice is hitting a plastic wall, screwing you (and anyone listening) over. Speak. Into. The. Tube.

What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?

This is what’s on the ballot in November.

"The gloves must come into direct contact with the skin and are not effective through clothing or hair, the user manual states. The manual says no more than 2 gloves should be applied to a subject at one time & they should not be used for more than 15 seconds in many instances." Oh Jesus. Oh fuck.

Show me your pet and who they are named after. (Maybe? Either that or my cat’s previous owner loved a particular garnish for martinis.)

In the actual city of Saint Paul, Peggy Flanagan beat Mayor Her’s preferred candidate by *40* points.

Bill Childs@billchilds.bsky.social · yesterday

That’s the power of Mayor Her’s endorsement of Angie Craig right here. I‘m sure Peggy Flanagan would have won by, like, 30% rather than 29% if not for that

I drive past Bro-Tex every single day. I remember the agents who zip tied @katiestp.bsky.social. I remember the agents who lied to my face about where they were taking her. And most importantly I remember the faces of the immigrant workers we saw getting stuffed into cargo vans and taken away.

Elle Ess@viamarsala18.bsky.social · yesterday

People think that the raw emotion and organizing went away just because we aren’t getting brutalized by ICE in the streets every day. We remember every stop, every confrontation, every single scared neighbor, and we will for a long time. And we are organizing around that.

Book 151 📚 for 2026. The big one's done! Over nearly 1100 pages of text (plus another 155 pgs of TRIPLE COLUMN endnotes) tells us, in sum, that capitalism giveth & it taketh away in equal measure.* It is quite readable, but jeebers it will take time. Available everywhere, including yr #LocalLibrary.

Shannon Heaton@chawkeye.bsky.social · 3d ago

Book 150 📚 for 2026. MPLS! St Paul! Washburn! Pillsbury! Journalists lining up behind one or the other! Intrigue! And, also, lots of details about 19th-C mills & how they built the original version of 'this hellscape.' It's kind of a dry accounting. Available everywhere, including your #LocalLibrary

I am not eligible for this study, but maybe some of you are? We really really need better ACTUAL DATA on cannabis so that the world accepts what chronic pain patients already know experientially. So participate if you qualify, to help others in chronic pain?

when I was passed by ICE on the school corner the day Renee was murdered- people begged me to stay home. i won't vote for anyone unwilling to stand beside me.

Alex@alexpong.bsky.social · yesterday

there’s a real simple moral clarity that happens when you realize you’re willing to die. it’s a standard you can hold others to without hypocrisy.

I feel like people are getting the Angie v. Peggy race wrong. This wasn’t centrism v. progressivism. The vote was a referendum on the ICE Surge. Peggy stood with us. Angie never did.

Yall. Klobuchar will not appoint her own successor. Listen to Steve Simon.

Mara Abolish I.C.E.@mauratwit.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Steve Simon confirmed on kmoj this weekend- it’s Gov Walz’s appointment then Special in fall of ‘27

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

David Brauer@dbrauer.net · yesterday

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!

I just finished the summer term with this book, which I guess is maybe my fourth time using it. It’s a good book! I’d like to do a second edition, which would involve more people buying it. So, law profs, do that! @cap-press.com will get you a review copy if you email them; they’re nice like that.

Bill Childs@billchilds.bsky.social · last yr.

Hello law professors! I happen to know this is a time when some of you are figuring out what you’re teaching next spring, or maybe even next fall! I suggest: Recreation and Risk! You will definitely be assigning the casebook with the coolest cover in your law school. recreationandrisk.com/the-book/

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???

John Hoffman should finally text Angie Craig back today.

FUCK ICE

Shannon Heaton@chawkeye.bsky.social · yesterday

FUCK ICE

So does my sweet little pocket of a neighborhood. Fuck ICE.

Wes Burdine@wesburdine.bsky.social · 2d ago

My neighborhood fucking HATES ICE

Lisa Demuth invites Nick Shirley to Minnesota and there's a direct line there to multiple people being killed by ICE. I hope MN remembers that come November.

Together, we proved that Minnesota is not for sale. When we work together, when we organize together, and when we fight together—we are unstoppable.

This is exactly what I looked like after the Malcolm Butler interception.

biftechnoir@kenmegalopsuxos.bsky.social · 2d ago

This bit just now with Kornacki getting word Wisconsin election officials fucked up was pure cinema.

Oh wow. It is almost 1. I celebrated by giving the neighborhood cats extra churus & by liking & reposting in the FEED. G’nite Minneapolis and St. Paul! Tonight I GET “patriotism”! So glad to be a citizen of Saintpaulapolis!

It's nice to see a zillion Fuck ICE posts in the chat for a celebratory reason.

I am truly honored and humbled to be Minnesota’s Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate. Thank you, Minnesota – for everything.

Congratulations to the new Democratic nominee for Senate from Minnesota, @peggyflanagan.bsky.social. Minnesotans are ready for bold, progressive leaders who will stand with the people and fix our broken status quo. I can't wait to get out the victory for you in November.
