Just happened across this article about the most recent show we installed at the Walker, "Ways of Knowing." www.minnpost.com/artscape/202...

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

So Florida has found an answer for dealing with employee shortages- change child labor laws to allow children(16-17) to work any hour of any day if they are homeschooled, eliminate working time restrictions for kids(14+), again, if they are homeschooled.

I'm catching myself falling into the same traps I did during the current POTUS's first admin, and particularly during Covid. Namely diving into rabbit holes trying to debate people on social media with reason, logic, and evidence. I need to get back to avoiding the rabbit holes.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

So now we have the POTUS saying he is going to go after people who protest Tesla as domestic terrorists. Yeah, they're all for freedom of speech alright.

Sorry everybody in the Twin Cities area. I realize it is my fault. I should have known better than to get my car washed yesterday.

Meanwhile…in #minnesota (via Arts Midwest)

I have this tendency to overbook myself a couple times a year. At the end of these periods I always build up the idea of taking a few days to finally just relax. Inevitably I instead spend those days dealing with some unfortunate illness. At least this time around it's just pain I have to deal with.

Nope not racist or misogynist at all- just letting go the highly qualified black Joint Chief Chairman because of diversity, equity, and inclusion with a white guy that requires a special exemption to qualify, and firing the also extremely qualified female Chief of Naval Operations.

My last load yesterday was carting the warming shanty across town, before zipping home for a quick change and a Nessa to get over to #Nanotako for the evening's speakeasy event. Lots of work throughout the day, and lots of fun last night. Dropped the truck off this morning. Brrrr!! ASP 2025 done!!!

DAILY DEMS DOING THE WORK, MAKING NOISE, AND FIGHTING BACK Day 18 Today is going to be a little bit different. I’m going to tell you about three actions that you probably haven’t heard of that, together, suggest a broad shift in how Democrats are operating. 🧵

Scored free tix to a comedy show at Xcel Center tonight so Nessa and I went out. Wow, y'all people who do this on the regular are crazy. $30 to park, $20 for a can of wine, $25 for a pretzel and lemonade. Yikes!

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

A quick resistance task: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico 2. “Gulf of America" is the top 3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it 4. Select "Send Feedback" 5. Click on "Gulf Of America" 6. Select "Inaccurate content" 7. Select "Incorrect" and type in: The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico”

Musk claims all their actions are fully transparent and listed on their website. I have yet to find that website. doge.gov is literally a blank page with the words Department of Government Efficiency on it. And only thing that comes up in a search is a meme collection page.

My van has had these cute little gothcicles on it for the past week or so.

Because in the United States, it’s legal to feed chicken shit to cattle. That’s why. That’s literally the reason www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

So tell me again that the Republican administration isn't racist as it revokes protections from Venezuelans, Haitians, and others who previously entered the US legally via TPS seeking asylum, while offering asylum to the wealthiest population in South Africa, the Afrikaners of European Descent.

Now more than ever.

this is an attack on women in the work place and on Black people in the workplace and also literally an act of civil war against the people- all people inside this place

We are looking for a couple more Community Partners for Art Shanty Projects. Does your business want to sponsor #art #outside?

So much for Read-Access Only. "The Bureau of the Fiscal Service is a sleepy part of the Treasury Department. It’s also where, sources say, a 25-year-old engineer tied to Elon Musk has admin privileges over the code that controls Social Security payments, tax returns, and more."

Currently on Zoom meeting with MN Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, and their staffs, organized by Indivisible MN.
