Spent our afternoon hearing from the potential future mayor of Minneapolis, @dewayneforminneapolis.com and my council member @aurinmpls.bsky.social at @sistersludge3.bsky.social I liked him a lot. I'm still undecided, but I like our new options for Mayor!

Elon, let me explain this to you. Social Security keeps millions of American seniors out of poverty. You’re a billionaire who’ll never need it. A Ponzi scheme is a type of investment fraud. And who knows more about being a fraud than you?

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Twin Cities DSA (Democratic Socialists) serves hot chili and banana bread in front of the giant loon at University and Snelling. People get off the light rail, get fed, get back on…DSA is now based in Minneapolis, not Spruce Tree Centre.

If you are looking for someone to say that all is lost and the courts can't help protect democracy, you are following the wrong guy. If you are looking for someone who fights hard and will never give up, I'm here for you.

Be careful that you don't use your headlines to make people dumber. The $1.5 million was budgeted in the hope that it could be spent. But it was not spent. It was not given. There was no bailout. City keeps the money.

www.theskimm.com/news/reprodu... The administration took down the reproductive rights website that women need access to. So The Skimm bought a url and brought the content back. Pass this on! Go to reproductive rights dotgov.com This is how to do it! In quietness and confidence.

Two years ago today I signed a bill making Minnesota the first state to codify abortion rights after the fall of Roe v. Wade. Politicians across the nation turned back the clock on reproductive rights. But here in Minnesota, we trust people to make their own decisions.

I tend to think of it as public health denialism from MnDOT. The research on urban freeways, air pollution, and health is very clear.

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

Hello, I'm a "Transit Enthusiast" who enjoys jumping in city fountains and sitting in the dark talking about Nicollet Mall and buses with cool people. But seriously--I don't know what the best option is; Nicollet Mall should have been kept in as an option AND who our mayor is freaking matters.

I'm not a pie in the sky environmental justice wokester. My common sense position is that it's fine if MnDOT wants to rebuild 94 without studying alternatives, but they need to make a pre-apology to the generations of people yet unborn that they want to poison.

The majority of U.S. adults support permanent legal status for people with #DACA. Congress should create a pathway to citizenship for people with DACA and others who’ve lived and worked in the U.S. for years, people who are vital parts of our communities. www.cbpp.org/blog/people-...

I spoke with cherished friend @amityf.bsky.social last night and she mentioned that I should have a patreon. I asked, "how do you not know I've had a patreon for many years?" I'm bad at promoting the patreon. Don't make me mention it again. Freedom isn't free and neither is Wedge LIVE.
