one thing that's kinda crazy is that basically across every state when we look at the county level, at the precinct level etc, the correlation between early vote increase relative to the past and dem margin in the past is like .8- it's nuts

minnesota overall is at 150% of the votes cast at this point in 2022 while minneapolis is at 175%. the gap between minneapolis and the state has grown since last friday. assuming st paul is close to minneapolis (which i think is fair)- that would mean that either suburbs or rurals are behind.

Peggy Flanagan's campaign shares some "facts from the ground" today: *540,347 Minnesotans have already voted, breaking records for early voting engagement in a midterm election. *That’s up from 358,648 at the same point in 2022. *Voters in Dem strongholds are turning out at record-high numbers.

before the election, doing dogpile coverage on Trump's heavily documented and extremely plausible rape allegations would be Political and therefore improper. after the election it's time to turn the page, let bygones be bygones, look forward not backward, bsky.app/profile/hoff...

i would like to kindly request that anyone in minneapolis who usually votes on election day not vote early this year. i'm worried we are frontloading votes and so if you do that it will make me worry more about that. thank you for your consideration.

🧵 Minneapolis early voting thru Monday. 7 full early voting days to go, but precincts in blue at/above 2022 *total* early vote. Orange = below ‘22’s total , but again, full week to go. Only 1 precinct (7-10 in Stevens Square) is below 70% of ‘22. Pace seems certain to smash 2018 midterm record (52k)

ilhan omar says somalis are not people to mess with. they immediately began making fun of trump’s attempt to demonize them. “our lack of fear is also rooted in our faith and understanding we don’t EVER get to be bullied by anyone.”

boy even i wasn't prepared for just how much this would be 7 games of two teams beating the shit out of each other lol

one thing i think the rudy three point copers are underestimating is how much shame he has. he was wide open there- should've taken it but because he missed the first one he's all embarrassed so now he won't.
