I am a city person through and through, born and always lived within metros, but wow, does the close proximity to all sorts of nature make Minneapolis the best one by far. It is wild how watching little birds and animals and water and trees can really lower the blood pressure. Good stuff Minnesota.

I’ve seen this movie. It’s called Squid Games.

All 3 ran for office despite serious cancer diagnoses. If Dems had managed to hold a 1 or 2 seat majority, we'd be in the minority right now. And because we're 3 votes short, Mike Johnson will have a much easier time ripping healthcare away from millions of people who also have serious conditions.

In the current climate where GOP governors just refuse to call special elections to fill seats of people who die in office, any Dem who refuses to retire should be primaried. I am sick of having to entrust what's left of our democracy to the elderly. There's no such thing as a "young 74."

It is always a 100% dice roll as to whether Teams will work on my computer (I'm not a Teams person except for once or twice a month) but that moment of suspense is kind of exciting. Will we connect or no?!?!

Dean Phillips really needs a hobby. And the Strib really needs to stop reporting on him. www.startribune.com/phillips-que...

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

If you were also disgusted by Ryan Winkler's attempt to tell Council President Payne how he should speak about his, and other Minneapolis residents lived experiences, join us today to help celebrate @elliottpayne.org's decisive endorsement win at Pillar (2300 Central Ave NE) today at 6:00PM!

If Ryan Winkler thinks he’s going to crawl back in to MN politics by insulting our council president @elliottpayne.org pointing out that lived experience is the way many of us arrive at our political values, he can meet the force of this ‘N Korea like voting bloc’ that supports Elliott. What a loser

1/x I want pundits and politicians who have some spine to start saying what we all know. Republicans see anyone not like them (immigrants, Black folks, trans people, etc) as not human, and their goal is to eventually eradicate every last one from existence. MN Rs don’t want to save $$ in taking away

STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS MAN. WHO CARES. PEOPLE ARE BEING DISAPPEARED OFF THE STREET AND DEMS AREN'T DOING A FRACTION OF ENOUGH. THIS NARRATIVE IS POINTLESS.

Hey Minnesota, is this how we want the person who succeeds Tina Smith to vote? I sure as hell don’t. Just say no to a light Republican like Angie Craig.

Having sons who are not that much younger than many of the Timberwolves makes me even more nervous for them on nights like tonight. Those are somebody’s babies and they have so much PRESSURE! But also, let’s get our poop in a group early tonight okay guys?

Way to go. Says a lot when someone makes an endorsement that says "this is the person I want to be in the fight with."

Would you look at that?! Apparently there ARE things Senate Dems can do to slow this gutting of our country down! Wow Chuck! Where has this tactic been for months?

I recently got an email from him and have never signed up for any list. If he took the Mpls DFL email list and is now using it for an election campaign, that's sketchy. I don't know any other way I would have ended up on this very odd newsletter list.

Probably a good time to remind your friends and family who will vote in the MN Senate primary that Angie Craig voted for this bill the first time it came up in the House. Thought this BS bill was reasonable.

There was a long history of the United States that did not include ICE. The future of this country must also. Abolish ICE.

Just had to remind the bulldog that the mario bros basket made sound on the timberwolves game is not scary and nothing to bark about. I can see how she forgot what it sounded like after Game 1.

There’s no such thing as a ‘Blue Dog’ Democrat. Those are Republicans.

Yes, this. There is a LOT to be concerned about re: Lydia Millard and I hope everyone is talking to their friends in Ward 10 about it.

When I was a kid (so long ago) being a sore loser was a shameful position. When did Republicans embrace it so fully as their identity? Was it just 2020? My goodness, have some dignity!

I think when I look back on my career in the not too distant future when I am old(er) being a part of helping to shape what Elevate Hennepin would be in the early days of the pandemic and continuing as a provider will be one of my proudest achievements. What a great resource.

I’m sure these are easily replaced. How expensive could they be?

Bree Hall is such a positive player, I really hope some team picks her up. The way she reacted after the NCAA championship AND after getting released by Indiana yesterday was so amazing. And she had a hell of a preseason game too.

If the NFL had allowed this narcissistic feeble-brained egomaniac to own a team back in the 80s/90s we maybe could still have a Democracy in this country. It's all this man-baby wanted then. Though the rejection of the business crowd in NYC probably still would have put him on this path.

Imagine the good that could have been done in Minneapolis in the past decade with all the money spent by supporters of Jacob Frey fighting against a bunch of folks who just want to do good work on behalf of all citizens. Wild.

Did John Lesch know some of these UMN students are on his side when he stated in court they shouldn’t even get a vote? Wild.

Jason Chavez is going to win an award for attending the most conventions. I love how he supports the other CMs. We appreciate you in Ward 1!

Excited to sit outside with a cup of coffee and read coverage of the Mpls Ward conventions today. We’re really lucky to have the political coverage we have in Minneapolis. Grateful to @jasoncomix.meatjacker.social @wedge.live @taylr.bsky.social and whoever I’m missing.

Do any Minnesotans have strong opinions on where to donate a non-running car? It seems like there are so many non-profits that will take them, I'd love to make sure it's going to the place that puts it to the best use.

Imagine having two Senators who, facing fascist removals of US citizen toddlers with cancer from the US and oncoming economic ruin for the rest of us decides it’s the perfect time to worry about hotel fees. That’s the world you’ll get if Angie Craig ends up in Tina Smith’s seat. No one needs that.
