We all knew who this guy was before Bill Cassidy did the above and confirmed him. Now we are shocked, shocked that the longtime antivaxxer gave an antivax speech at the antivax conference run by his antivax org.

Is there a formal name for the performative credulity and elite deference that respectable media just can’t seem to abandon? It is clearly illustrated in the case of RFK Jr. Everyone involved is expected to maintain a fiction that nobody knows what everybody knows.
Gonna start referring to Democrats who take anti-trans stances as “Biological Republicans”
This statement from Greta Callahan at the School Board meeting the other night is worth your time, MPS fam.
I'm serious when I say I've lost track of all the recent revelations of literal Nazis working in high-level positions in Republican congressional campaigns and I would very much appreciate a journalist who took the time to detail as many of them as can fit into an article.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Ossoff: "Then there's the ex-staffer posting swastikas and Klan regalia. And the neo-Nazi with a million followers who produces neo-Nazi propaganda at Collins's house ... a man who won't take responsibility for what happens under his own roof can't be trusted with our national affairs."
New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:
Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem
A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

Anyway: Peggy Flanagan has been steadfast in supporting our trans homies and I am co-hosting a fundraiser for and with on October 19, mostly aimed at members of the legal community but everyone's welcome. Let me know if you'd like an invitation.
Good morning. If you needed another reason to be pissed off about paying taxes here you go.
MSP’s airport authority, the MAC, who’ll have members appointed by @amyklobuchar.com after she’s elected, has dropped the ball repeatedly with respect to ICE, and continues to work against the interests of our community. Kudos to the workers, but fuck MSP’s spineless leadership.
Amy Klobuchar@amyklobuchar.com · 4d agoFor the third year in a row, Minnesota’s MSP is ranked the best airport in North America! Thank you to all the workers who keep MSP running day and night. ✈️
It’s like someone took my The Plan idea and did a video. Love it.
Talking about the apocalypse means *not* talking about copyright abuse, about privacy invasion, about the creation of misinformation and the destruction of truth, about political manipulation, about CSAM, about economic devastation and about environmental destruction. The real problems.
Step one: stoke the (wrong) fear Step two: tell the world they can deal with the (wrong) fear. All the while avoiding talking about the real problems with AI

This is the correct way to describe the AI companies behavior lately.
dunk after dunk, jam after jam@llewbu.bsky.social · 5d agoit's basically the "hold me back, boys" approach that drunk dipshits use to get out of fighting a fight they just picked
I voted for Sanders twice in primaries. I did so fully aware that the vast majority of my Black family and friends did not trust him. I thought that he was the better choice compared to others in the Dem primaries on policy grounds. There's no way to defend him on this Bannon gambit. It's disgusting
Bernie has been a limp fish for a long while now. And when a lot of black folks started saying he's not trustworthy I sure listened. Now we see what a chump he is.
The Atlantic@theatlantic.com · 5d agoBernie Sanders and Steve Bannon are showing how political figures who once wanted nothing to do with one another are joining forces in the face of AI proliferation, Toluse Olorunnipa reports:
Holy shit imagine if Jacob Frey did this instead of his fucking stupid rich people banquet/circle jerk
Which ones were the good people storming the capitol to overthrow the government, Michele?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoMichele Tafoya defended January 6 insurrectionists in a 2025 episode of her podcast: "There were so many people wrapped up into that day, and this massive fishnet thrown out there to catch all of them, that a lot of really good people got caught up in the shuffle"
Max is the authority. Contrary to the story, it only affects one city, Oak Grove. Also, this doesn’t affect your ability to early vote AT ALL. You can early vote in-person starting Friday; every county has at least 1 location. Some cities also open then; others on Oct. 16, though some won’t have any
Max Hailperin@maxhailperin.bsky.social · 5d agoHeads up, Minnesota. Do not read this Democracy Docket article. It utterly misstates the situation. Get your information about Minnesota from authoritative Minnesota sources.
🚨 BREAKING: The Minnesota DNR just canceled one of Twin Metals' state mineral leases. This is a HUGE win, and it happened because of YOU! Tens of thousands of you made calls and flooded the DNR's and the governor's inboxes, demanding action. Thank you for showing up for the Boundary Waters. 💚
This is one of the funniest videos I've ever seen in my life
i am incredibly excited to share our research about how paying people’s rent through mutual aid made an impact on minnesota this year we accidentally collected more data than anyone ever has for an effort like this, and can very seriously say we prevented an eviction bubble that everyone expected
