🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

How does this Defend MPR and PBS thing work, should I feel like they were in defense of me all this time, or are they more important than me for their liberal donor base and deserve defending at all costs?

Photo of two boys - one vaccinated against smallpox, the other not - published in 1901 by Dr. Allan Warner. Smallpox killed over half a billion people in the 20th century alone. On 8 May 1980, the WHO announced its eradication, which was achieved through #vaccines, surveillance, and containment.

this retconning of the science is deep deeeeeeep authoritarianism.

It feels like being on the Titanic if also 3 days before hitting the iceberg, the ship voted to hit the iceberg or not and the first class ppl convinced a majority of the passengers to vote “yes, hit the iceberg”. And then those same first class passengers sat in lifeboats watching everyone else die

Socrates himself famously said, "the uninteresting life is not worth living" shortly before he died. Okay, he actually said "the UNEXAMINED life is not worth living" but I punched it up for him for free qwantz.com/index.php?co...

Washington Post cartoonist resigns over paper’s refusal to publish cartoon critical of Jeff Bezos

Some of you saw I had a really close call with a violent driver the other night. When that happens, I find myself preferring *extra* protected routes for a while to help calm my nerves. I chose an exclusively protected route for an errand today & was extra frustrated to see Sysco doing this. 1/2

Thanks for blocking bike lockers University of MN police.

Great sign placement. 😒 #minneapolis

Last ride of 2024.

Love abandoned possessions at bus stops. # Minneapolis

maybe my favourite etymology: the phrase “curry favour” originates from a medieval french morality poem about a conniving horse named fauvel who amasses a following of sycophantic humans to groom and tend to him. over time, “currying fauvel” eventually became “currying favour.”

The 39th time we've had to post this, and this time about The Onion's original hometown.

What is the current streets plowed to horse police conversion in U.S. currency? The current pothole filling to fake ptsd settlement conversion?

This week's highlight was sharing the reflections of Nudieland mass shooting victims as one of the teen defendants took a plea deal in court. It's a heavy read, but well worth it if you have the time and headspace. www.mprnews.org/story/2024/1...

We activated downtown so hard the city should be giving DJ Dev that Warehouse District LIVE money.

Abortion clinic providers are true heroes, facing terrifying opposition daily. In 1998, Nurse Lyons survived a bombing at her Alabama clinic that killed a security officer. These healthcare warriors keep showing up. Show them love through our #TreatAClinic program! storycorps.org/stories/not-...

Feminist body horror for this fine Saturday.
