So glad they kept him in leadership. It's going to be a lot easier to win again in 2028 with this coming from them.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 11h agoRep. Emmer: “To our colleagues on the left, enjoy this honeymoon phase…come January 3, 2027, you will regret ever putting your name on a ballot…This Republican leadership team will expose the Democrats’ lies and show the American people their true colors as the radical communists that they are.”
Hi, it's me, I'm one of those leaders. One who is fortunate to work with many others who are up to the work ahead here in Minnesota. We've got good work to move this coming year. Want to help out? Give here: www.outfront.org/support-outf... Volunteer here: secure.ngpvan.com/su9Zdw_AuEOw...

I hope everyone in Minneapolis feels like tonight is a warm, loving hug from an entire grateful country. We made you a hotdish out of votes, to say thank you.
Whatever good comes out of tonight, I want @kenmartin.bsky.social to know that he had absolutely nothing to do with it.
There was an actual line that my polling place! The election judges reported a very steady stream of people all day and a lot of new folks registering so this is all great news!

My $0.02. A "wave" of anti authoritarianism is not the same as a "blue" wave. We are voting against fascism, not for a party that sells out for a fundraising pitch.
Also parent of trans person here: can confirm we all remember when our supposed allies throw us under the bus.
Bill Corbett@billcorbett.bsky.social · 2w agoAnti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.
Oh, ya know, just paying an extra fee to renew the tabs on my car because it is a plug-in hybrid, while Elon uses his tax-free "non-income" to buy elections. Like ya do.
What if we just didn't make fun of what people looked like (or their size, or ability, or hair or clothes or makeup or plastic surgery even or any of that shit) Because actually what matters is what you say and what you do words and actions and their impact on other people
I liked the movie Digger, but it very much is not letting anyone off the hook. Our shared responsibility is shouted on the big screen.
There has been important and necessary solidarity built through moments of urgent challenge. But it's worth asking what shape our organizing could take if so much of it wasn't devoted to (necessary) reactivity? May we set conditions that allow for more spacious work.
Goddammit. I loved HourCar when I lived in the service area. I moved to a suburb and just miss HourCar. They are shutting down. hourcar.org/news/sunset

Some part of my brain (usually but not always less than half) is constantly running through the Girls5eva theme song.
What a delight to see @jamieloftus.bsky.social in my podcast feed for a totally different reason! Her insight, speaking truth, and humor are always helpful in a complex conversation. 99percentinvisible.org/episode/100-... (I personally trade my chips in every year, rather than keep them).
