Christ, listen to them cheer. It just really fucking sucks how people out there in "greater" Minnesota hate us in the Cities. They *think* we hate them. Shit like this is how we *know* they hate us.

Every single Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota (including Mike Lindell!) makes clear that if Trump tried another Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities, they would support his efforts to brutalize residents

In the richest country in the world. There seems to be nearly endless amounts of millions going into our elections. Way too many people with way too much money. Tax the rich.

We should have one place that lists all the construction projects and when various stretches will reopen, they are fucking Whittier up and it's such a pain final finish estimates are out there but just when will the roads open around me

I shan't be elaborating. you can decide whatever reason you'd like. like a choose your own adventure but you're choosing my horrors.

I swear to god. The anti-vax movement is all big strong guys who are just scared of needles and made it our problem

Sometimes I just can't believe that this is the real world. Like, who would say this? Who would say this? Why would you say this? How is this...? Why? ...You think you know the bottom, but then you realize that you're only standing on a ledge part way down, your toes out over a terrible darkness.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

Off to National Night Out, or as we call it on my block, Minnesota ICE Out

I voted early cause I'll be working the polls on election day!! Have you made your plan to vote?!

Peggy Flanagan@peggyflanagan.bsky.social · 3d ago

There are 9 days until polls close on August 11. This election is too important to sit back or sit out. Make your plan to vote, then send this post to three friends & make sure they have a plan to vote on or by August 11! MNVotes.org

What if, hear me out here, the richest guys in the world just paid some damn taxes

If you reposted the below, share this mutual aid fund for Alexio, who was arrested and detained by DHS during Operation Metro Surge. He is facing political repression for his actions during the ICE raid in north Mpls on January 14. chuffed.org/project/alex...

Do not use Minneapolis organizers as the peaceful good example so you can smear the Prairieland defendants for their “violent” tactics. Alex Pretti was also armed. The MN 15 are being indicted for related tactics and strategy. So much is wrong with this piece, but that especially sticks in my craw.

I accidentally ran three red lights recently, and I'm waiting anxiously for the mail from the camera cops saying I owe the city my paycheck. If I stop quick the person behind me flies by and through the red. This means when it goes yellow I'm looking behind me to see if I'm going to get rear ended

It’s incredible how much fascism’s greatest weapon is liberalism’s (small l)’s lack of faith in itself

Pearson's Candy is closing. They're owned by Annabelle Candy, which is in turn owned by Promise Holdings, a private equity firm formed in 2010. Private Equity is killing this country faster than Trump.

In 2023 while in NOLA, a Lyft Driver and I had a conversation about leaving home. It led to him telling me about his terminal diagnosis. “An editor told me once that if you want to understand a war, interview the grave diggers. I’d add that if you want to understand a city, interview the drivers.”

I'm a woman, so until 50 years ago I wouldn't be allowed to have a bank account of my own and would be married off as a teenager and probably have like 12 kids and a garden to tend. My mother, grandmothers and great+ grandmothers were all stay home moms, gardeners, and cooks.

Enough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?

What the fuck was that on Lyndale just now, a plain truck with lights and sirens, being chased by an SUV with lights and sirens, being chased by MPD driving erratically with lights but no sirens... They turned right on 26th.

Republicans are just rotten men and women.

I think the only thing separating Angie Craig and Republicans is homophobia. If Republicans weren't so against LGBTQ+ people, I think Craig would just be a republican.

I am shocked that for the 417th election in a row, right now is not the time to shake the boat and we must all fall in line behind supporting genocide-loving corporatist establishment war hawk ghouls. I think we can trust them this time, though, that NEXT election will be the right time for change.

The reason for buffoonery in fascism is that it acclimitises people and makes each new fascist move less remarkable over time - especially to the news media. Why do you think that Trump is in office?

we should just collectively decide mitch mcconnell is dead, as a treat

I cannot believe that they still haven't released the Epstein files, we still don't know if Mitch McConnell is dead or alive, and the entire mainstream press Corp just had dinner with Donald Trump while he made fun of them for an hour. What is happening to journalism right now?

Trump cares more about his billionaire donor friends making money than he does the about the health of millions of Americans. He'd rather us all die if he can make a few extra thousand bucks

Watch out twin cities car buyers... “I think we actually have to get rid of this car, there’s no way we can drive it. The inside smells like a barn”

A number of people who drove through a liquid manure spill on a Twin Cities highway on Thursday have a lingering problem: a rancid smell their vehicles can't shake. More: https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-lifestyle/manure-spill-on-twin-cities-highway-leaves-drivers-with-a-foul-problem
