My centrist Dem mom reports her right-wing radio obsessed brother is deeply embarrassed by this week's Oval. You don't spend your entire childhood during the Cold War and decide that the Russians are the good guys!

scripture hits different in bad times bc literally every other time i’ve heard the exodus story in my life im like what is pharaoh’s deal why would a ruler put up with that much misery and destruction among their people rather than stop oppressing/exploiting that one group???? and it turns out

Sang Pink Pony Club with my 6 year old at coffee hour karaoke, how was your church experience today??

Today is the one day a year Wirth allows snowboards and the vibes are very different! (not in a bad way, accessibility to the parks is good, etc)

would love to start a thread here of Christians who observe Lent sharing any cool ideas you are planning for a Lent Thing™️ that supports democracy & progressive values and encourages small daily acts of resistance amidst *gestures wearily* all this

The leadership and staff at the NIH institute who processed 100 grants in an afternoon are heroes. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

"Where's Block E?" -- 20something

Now they're talking about cars driving too fast on their streets.

The moms at ballet are talking about kids taking transit by themselves. I'm not engaging. Please clap.

Listen I know TEC gets tagged for being not assertive enough, but in the last two weeks my dad has become aware of two issues facing my daughter's school/classmates via TEC resources. Awareness-raising among the privileged is working. 📕⚓🕯️

I would like all of the people who argued that the military would just refuse an illegal nuclear launch order to weigh in on this development.

Happy Ski In Shorts day to all men ages 15-25 who celebrate

It's a beautiful Sunday morning in downtown Minneapolis: the sun is coming out, the birds are singing, and the trains are back to having three cars. ❤️

Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?

How obsessed am I with this house? We were out of town and I found out the estate sale was happening, so I texted my suburban mom to go check it out on my behalf.

I've been lusting after this house since I moved to @eastbankmpls.bsky.social in 2013. Sally French was also a Theta! www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Since the next step for people like Trump is to blame the consequences of his actions on others, the most effective response to people like this is "It sounds like they lied to you." You can't turn these people into overnight liberals; you *can* shake their trust in the people who deceived them.

democrats—resist the urge to look at these people and say “oh you are very stupid” and instead say, “here is a voter who looked at biden and kamala and saw no solutions for the most pressing problems in their life.” how do you fix that? bold rhetoric and action to back it up. and better propaganda.

"Mom, why do you like HGTV?"

Vacation means HGTV and the first episode is in MSP!

My six year old woke herself up laughing in the middle of the night. Apparently it was a dream about the Barbie dream house. 😅

Erasing an important person in civil rights history during Black History Month is so evil. Pauli Murray was instrumental in many important advancements for the rights of Black people and women and inspired the development of intersectional feminism. Dont let our government erase history!

literally the only American institution not complying in advance is the US Army

Hi everyone! I've been spending less time here scrolling my screen and more time using my hands to work on sewing projects. I miss you all but this has been better for my mental health. I check in a couple times a day but the algorithm doesn't pop you to the top. I hope you're well. ❤️

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

It is actually genuinely funny that the Army looked at the Executive Order and said "no"

1st Ave S and Lake St, you say
