National media continues to do the work Mn media hasn’t yet demonstrated in the Senate general election

Sucks that the Univ of Minnesota libraries are closed to the public. If the past several years have taught us anything, it’s that knowledge is necessary to fighting stupid bad fascists. So here’s a helpful doc on how to assist good U people who want knowledge freed: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

www.startribune.com/tolkkinen-mi... I seldom agree with Karen Tolkkinen but I appreciate her taking Tafoya to task on corporate vs family farm policy. A nice contrast to the Peggy Flanagan may be too radical for the centrist Dems article also published today.

well, I never expected to be published in a Stanford journal, but the McKnight Foundation asked me write my thesis to the philanthropic world after the MN ICE surge: when there is an emergency, just... give money to people on the ground doing the actual work. as fast as possible. radical, I know.

Minneapolis WE KEEP IS SAFE t-shirts/stickers site is NOW LIVE: we-save-us.cheddarup.com The shirts honor everyone who resisted ICE; all $ after shipping/making costs go to Lucy Laney school mutual aid in N Mpls. Buy as much as you want; you have to add shirts to cart 1 at a time (sorry). Please RT!

The ICE surge must ramp down as quickly as possible so we can get on with important recovery efforts, such as purging from public life anyone seeking statewide office who thought the federal government brutalizing Minnesota was a fine idea and just what we deserved.

Memo leaked to me reveals shortly before the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis, homeland security was worried about officer confrontations with vehicles - foreshadowing the exact circumstances of Good's death: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/leaked-mem...

Today is World AIDS Day. Our president is not talking about it or commemorating it so I'm posting this as a reminder that it will not go away if we pretend it's not there. Reagan tried that and look - still here.

I appreciate Nekima's spot on assessment, particularly as a member of the population he demonized. www.startribune.com/conservative...

Andy Brehm stokes the "only Democrats do things to divide us" with another complaint about the new flag. He claims no one likes is because no one he knows likes it. Well, just maybe you don't have many good friends, Andy. www.startribune.com/minnesota-ne...

We now need a thousand Melissa Hortmans. We need people to step up where she left off. We need you. I’m going to work every day to carry on Melissa’s fight for justice and peace. Will you join me? minnesotareformer.com/2025/06/20/w...

Andy Birkey - I thought of you when I saw this headline www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey raised his profile on the backs of the LGBTQ community. His support was always conditional on how many gay men thought he was hot (sadly, a lot) or how many votes he could gain playing bartender at the latest gay bar opening. He really sucks.

If you're in SoCal, here are some dates to put on your calendar.

as much as you want to say it, our reaction to people taking action for the first time shouldn’t be “well where have you been?” scream it into a pillow if you need to get it out of your system

Interesting article as to how many of our economic indicators do not capture the reality of many Americans. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Hitler-loving white nationalist Nick Fuentes on Elon Musk's salute: "That was a straight up like 'Sieg Heil',' like loving Hitler energy."

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

I was hopeful that when the Strib added a rural writer that she would focus on bringing the rural/urban divide. So much for hope. www.startribune.com/tolkkinen-bo...
