The fact that many news orgs are credibly discussing the $5K "dividend" by Trump if GOP wins mid-terms is rage inducing. Of course, no mention of the promised $5K "DOGE dividend" that didn't happen, or the $2K "tariff rebate" everyone was getting. He might as well be promising fairies & pots of gold

Anika Wells said social media "platforms and tools have infiltrated our daily lives in ways that we could never have imagined. Some good, but some with terrible consequences. And there is a global reckoning coming for Big Tech.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/08/w...

Red State Universities: we believe in indoctrination and job training Students: we hate that is there another option? Blue State Universities: we promise to have no values except job training. It ain’t enough. My latest. Gift link.

Perry: Republicans fought ‘indoctrination.’ Now they’re telling students what to study.

The conservative attack on higher education in states like Iowa is hard to watch. But it also provides an opportunity for blue states like Minnesota.

"Last year was the seventh straight year of record overtime costs (for police); the last time the city stayed within its overtime budget was 2018." Interesting fact: 2018 was also the first year Jacob Frey took office as mayor of Minneapolis. www.startribune.com/mayor-frey-2...

Minneapolis mayor proposes millions in cuts, over 100 job cuts and 11.3% property tax increase

That would be the biggest property tax increase in Minneapolis in at least 26 years. The owner of a median-valued home of $351,400 would pay $409 more a year.

I’m caught in a StubHub / AXS / ticket transfer loop hell for tonight’s Minnesota Lynx game, and it’s super frustrating. Especially since it was a huge birthday splurge for daughter — front row seats.

It is time once again to discuss the Most Dad Things we have done in the past year. A couple of reminders: - gender is a social construct, anyone can do Dad Things - you need not be a parent to do a Dad Thing - the definition of a Dad Thing is entirely subjective and maybe made up I’ll go first:

never has minneapolis needed to celebrate the sun coming more than at the end of winter 2026. ICE are not gone completely, but we still won, and it was incredibly cathartic to see this ceremony at mayday about protecting our neighbors, grounding why we did this work. i love this city

💯 … while talking to Mpls officer investigating after my daughter was nearly killed in pedestrian-SUV crash, he sneeringly referenced staffing issues and the upcoming (2021) city vote about police funding. She was unconscious, unresponsive, on a ventilator and in a coma at the time. Seriously, what?

They treat victims as annoyances. People who are just bugging them while they have jobs to do. Forgot to mention the reason I couldn't get hold of the sgt this time was because he was on vacation for a few weeks. Must be nice. I have spoken to my great city council member who is helping.
