No lie—when I sit on boomer furniture my legs are stiff. Maybe it’s not just aging but shitty furniture design.

National sources (including AP) are reporting that organizers have canceled No Kings events across the state. This is incorrect, as confirmed by local/state media, and from multiple sources present at protests right now. (1/3) apnews.com/live/trump-m... www.startribune.com/brooklyn-par...

I'm going to talk about the Hutchinson Affair, because it's never taught anymore and I think it's instructive. Hutchinson was Royal Governor of Massachusetts. He wrote letters to London showing his general low opinion of Americans and his intent to curb their rights.

Blocked the absolute fuck out of an online public health personality for popping into feeds of MN residents proposing legislation and laws that would require full identification of law enforcement-laws that would prohibit face coverings that obscure the identity of an officer. I’m pro public health

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.

Bring Me The News, The Tribune, MPR News, and other local places are much better sources than national ones who barely know what the DFL is.

Today’s a good day to figure out who’s trying to build their brand on the bodies of dead people, and block them. All my love to everyone honestly grieving. All we have is each other.

Every Minnesotan is yelling at all of you to knock this off. Not competitive districts. Lege is not in session. You don't even go here. This is bad enough without the rest of the country parrotting this. Just. Fucking. Wait. For. Local. Reporting.

In re: LRT, Minnesota is the opposite of a news desert - the Twin Cities has dozens of responsible news outlets staffed by incredibly professional journalists. They do not need your breathless, speculative assistance in covering this story. Post local coverage as it emerges, and ignore the noise.

I've covered politically motivated assassinations in Central America. I got pulled off a massive research project looking into political motivated killings in Guatemala after I hit a "trip wire." I know the U.S. has seen this in the past, but this is a worrying escalation.

Oh, you're doomscrolling current events? That's baby shit. I'm doomscrolling the events of 536. A volcano just erupted in Iceland. Snow just fell during the summer in China. Crops are failing. All of the crops are failing.

The idea that Secret Service agents don’t know all the senators on sight alone is absurd. And yes, you can hear him clearly identify himself in the recording. Just nonsense. And this is why the Trump admin likes making “pretty” white women its spokespeople— to play the scared victim

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.
