Aggressive Progressive

I keep seeing Keith Ellison yard signs next to Anders Folk yard signs... don't get suckered in, Hennepin County. naomikritzer.com/2026/10/18/e...

Vivek Ramaswamy calling his opponent a whiner because she has spoken about her past as a child sexual abuse victim. And then choosing to use her estranged mom (because her mom supported her mom's child raping spouse) in an attack ad. This is the GOP. Write down who participates in these attacks.

Until she was disparaging various individuals on the left, I had never known who Neera Tanden was. I guess she's saved most of her energy for disparaging those within the democratic party rather than the authoritarian administration. And that's all I really have needed to learn about her.

Supporting Putin's war is betraying the country, when did this not become a black and white line for the reddest of red part of the country?

Trump endorses Tafoya. Hard to create distance when you support J6'ers and the dictator wants you elected.

@atrupar.com curious about a local political race that could have real consequences - Anders Folk appears to have conservative backing and has been trying to get ahead of Cedric Frazier for Hennepin County Attorney. Since ICE prosecutions are a real concern... any journalistic input on the matter?

Guardrails aren't enough. Automatic license plate readers must be banned.

Wondering what the major social media platforms are seeing in traffic decrease with Russian bot farms being knocked offline. Slava Ukraini.

Thinking about that time a rich guy had so many sexual encounters outside his marriage that his wife forced him to move his hockey franchise to Texas.

“In some ways, Axon is actually worse than Flock,” EFF's @maassive.bsky.social told @indyweek.bsky.social. “Flock never had mobile license plate cameras, and Axon does. They install them on patrol cars, and that means patrol cars become like roving data vacuums.”

Bye!

The creativity of humanity truly cannot be replicated by any mere machine learning algorithm.

Sent by a friend, I wish I could create the origin. -_-

www.youtube.com/shorts/GQoQk... Hey MN! Check out our state senator Ortman being on Flock's payroll!

The bathroom sinks in the Paterno Experience will be dedicated to the number of times Joe Pa washed his hands of his favorite assistant coach molesting kids.

When you claim renewable energies aren’t workable—but you attach solar panels to all your dystopian Flock surveillance cameras.

Officeworkers: we want to work from home! CEOs: Sorry, the world economy is dependent on you sitting in traffic every day and sitting at a desk while you work

NEW: Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) used the following words to describe data center developers today; "Predators" "Bullies" "Secretive" Shapiro signed a new state exec order tightening restrictions on data centers, requiring they get local approvals & provide their own power

Based on every recording of someone being tazed: an individual is going to seize up and perhaps appear to not be cooperative while electricity is coursing through their body from those shock gloves. And this is 100% for certain going to be used to justify use of lethal force in that detainment.

This 👏 is 👏 my 👏 future 👏 senator.

Have to say I was a little disheartened to see how my home county was taken to centrist/conservative views, but at least MN is heading in a good direction. Hopefully the milquetoast dem governor candidate doesn't end up inspiring another Ventura. -_-

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.

Text message campaigns in Minnesota trying to smear a candidate as "wanting to empty the prisons". Seems like we already have a president in power actively emptying the prisons 🤔

I'm about to take the stage at Farmfest to talk about my agenda for Minnesota's ag economy. Our economy should work for farmers, not corporations consolidating agricultural production and driving family farmers out.

Glad to see Michigan push for progress. ballotpedia.org/Endorsements...

Midwesterners, I invite you to use a new term I thought of while jogging through the neighborhoods today: Maralago Lawn. A yard that the homeowner has dumped so many chemicals and pollutants on it looks about as fake as the lawns on a DDT pamphlet.

BREAKING: SB 2471 has been signed into law! It’s the first of its kind in the nation and renders the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision irrelevant in Hawaii. This is a win for the movement to get big money, especially dark money, out of politics.

Rep Grijalva: "The problem I see is that this administration makes blanket statements about what's not happening, and we have a portion of our nation that believe them blindly. We have to realize 91% of the people in detention in these concentration camps are in private prisons. So follow the money"

I’m proud to endorse @peggyflanagan.bsky.social. Peggy has the courage to stand up to Donald Trump, reject corporate PAC money, defend immigrant communities, and fight back against the billionaires and special interests rigging our politics and our economy.

I want to print off this article and use it to slap around anyone in the trades that parrots anti-union talking points. www.techspot.com/news/112343-...

Dude can't even bother to make a sorrowful face to go with the headline. What a twat

🥂

Republicans want $1 BILLION in new taxpayer funding to shore up security for Trump's White House ballroom. And don't forget: Corporate donations to construct the ballroom will be tax-deductible. Trump is sticking us with the tab for his vanity project while ignoring what the country really needs.

Sad chuckle. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the...

What a silly poll, it implies he has "handled" the cost of living at all -_-

I no longer like this ride, please let me get off.

He epitomizes "conservative liberal". Leading up to the election his campaign choose to highlight the number of police they hired. Many Minneapolis residents still don't view the MPD as a force they can depend on. It was disheartening to see him getting positive attention nationally...

Guaranteed paid leave. Ending algorithmic price-gouging by big grocery chains. Abolishing Super PACs. It's not enough for Democrats to simply oppose Trump. They must offer working people something to vote FOR. The Congressional Progressive Caucus' Affordability Agenda is an excellent start.

So the DNC would rather push forward some war on far left influencers rather than getting the War Powers Act progressed? That's the type of leadership you'll get with @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov! Awesome job guys, you really know how to enrage your base.

It occurs to me that Bill Barr has the opportunity to do the funniest thing....

Really cool watching all media turn into Fox News gradually. Jesse Waters or Dana Bash? Pretty soon it'll be hard to tell the difference...
