I wound up my two college aged voters for social justice and this vote!

This is huge. So many families could be due breaks and it is “just complicated enough” to need to give some of that to a preparer. I’d much rather have it go all to the family eligible for assistance.

I drew this August 23, 2022, and it’s coming to pass.

The PWHL Takeover game is at LCA tomorrow, so some of the players are holding a youth clinic at the Red Wings practice facility. In this case, though, the kids are the Polar Bears 60-plus senior women's team.

Such a good boy.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

Today is raccoon day where anything of value is cleared from the fridge and pantry before tomorrow’s “back to routine” shop. My evidence for today “crisp cookies”. Thin shortbread from a holiday basket that weren’t of value till the end of the holiday!

Morning light.

Proud former Minnesotan. Somali immigrants have been welcomed and naturalized. Keep going fellow citizens.

Excuse me as I step away from the Lions Commanders game.

Cheers for local journalism and housing reform now please.

Just read “If Beale St could Talk”. He had quite the voice. Will look for more.

when the shutdown hits so hard you end up playing with yourself

We should not be surprised where America is now, after all, there was a time white men wouldn’t allow white women to have anything “without permission”.

Since the Ezra & Ta-Nehisi discussion is still happening: the main point I think most are missing is that Klein is saying the role of the journalist-intellectual is to do strategic politics, whereas Coates says the role of the journalist-intellectual is to tell the truth

"How Are the Very Rich Feeling About New York’s Next Mayor?" A Dramatic Reading of The Recent New York Times Dispatch from the Hamptons. Presented by The Gilded Age's Morgan Spector.

Am enjoying mine! Grateful to have solid EV options.

Get yourself a husband who will Call and say bottom of 9 bases loaded 1 run game ohtani is up.

Oh no! My show just said to a fishery enforcement “One last time before you retire?” He is for sure going to die now, right?

Watching Twins/Tigers. Pitcher that had his first start yesterday… “so tell me about your tattoos…”. Do better Twins TV. Talk about, I don’t know, baseball.

Love moments like this. Public Enemy meets Mavis Staples ❤️

In this commentary, @dbrauer.net makes the argument that Saturday's mayoral endorsement does matter, and that it punches a hole in Frey's air of inevitability. Brauer writes in response to our editor Patrick's newsletter saying endorsement means very little. minnesotareformer.com/2025/07/24/t...

"Despite Trump officially activating FEMA on Sunday, FEMA has just 86 total staff deployed at this point [to Texas], according to figures shared with staff Monday evening...In the past it would normally be in the several hundreds at this point in the disaster recovery process." My latest:

This company was a huge part of San Jose in my mom’s time and my growing up. Such a snap shot of changes.

Brilliant. For minds that don’t always follow the plot, The Onion is a really good plot to follow!

TwinsTV doesn’t share the pitch type?

I’ve posted this video on socialism for years and there were mild heart attacks on Twitter, somehow I think people will be more amenable now.

Today's Planned Parenthood decision was a devasting blow to women, and it wasn't even about abortion. It was a devasting blow to civil rights, and it wasn't even about Civil Rights. It's one of the worst decisions from this SCOTUS, worse than you probably think. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

The tangible absence of poverty. LFG!

On a day that started with political violence this is incredible! I attended a smaller local protest and appreciated the action and community.

63% of American adults had unfavorable views of Martin Luther King Jr in August 1966, per Gallup surveys 46% of Mississippi GOP voters said interracial marriage should be illegal in a 2011 PPP poll to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership

As YOU wish! Pride Month is on the way and it’s even more important than ever to support our friends. Honestly? It’s always *INCONCEIVABLE* to me that anyone would/could hate (let alone persecute) anyone for who they love. The world needs all the love it can get. Protect! #lgbt #ally #pridemonth

David Attenborough [whispering]: “The dual-finned Canadian land shark surfaces briefly, scouting the area for signs of potential prey.”

Fed Chair Powell graduation remarks to Princeton nod toward our current predicament: "Look around you. I urge you to take none of this for granted. When you look back in 50 years, you will want to know that you have done whatever it takes to preserve and strengthen our democracy."

I want to see what happens when companies do hire a CEO at some fixed ratio to worker salary. Take the cheap option and see what happens! I’ll bet talented people will do the job for less.

every day is a good day to put NYT in its place

And the success of work mandates.

So instead of trade deals he’s just going to publicly negotiate with himself until he walks back the tariffs? We get a couple of months of supply chain shock and nothing to show for it besides damaged relationships across the world.

Getting my MSW and at least once a term, I quote Paul Wellstone. Can’t endorse the pragmatic take. 😂

NEW: Minnesota’s graduation rate just reached the highest level on record. Two years ago, we made the single-largest investment in public schools in state history.   Today, we’re seeing the results.

I think I need to get off Minneapolis BlueSky until this Hold Steady residency is over. Glad they and their music make so many people happy, but I must not have enough Edina raised Dad energy to appreciate.
