"hey babe, wake up, Zohran won the mayoral primary in New York City"

Smoked a whole bunch of walleye on the Traeger today for the first time. It isn't perfect but it is damn good. Heading up north of Duluth this weekend but might set up a cash stand outside of Northern Waters and undercut their sales.

As for so many across this country, Bernie Sanders has been the single most influential political figure in my life. As Mayor, I will strive to live up to his example by fighting for the working class every day and hopefully make Brooklyn’s own proud.

Man I cannot stand the Oklahoma City Thunder. These guys are insufferable. Our society rewards enough grifters why do we do it in the NBA playoffs too?

That Melissa Hortman gave to legislative leaders a copy of Getting To Yes—a book about negotiating that teaches the reader to focus on interests that bring parties together instead of positions that may drive people apart—is incredibly endearing and indicative of her skillful, intelligent leadership

This is a GoFundMe to support the recovery of Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette after the shooting yesterday. It was created by the PTO at the school where Yvette works. Please share and give if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/support-yv...

The arrest of the suspected shooter brings relief to our entire state. Yet, this unimaginable tragedy will change us forever. Our deepest thanks go to the first responders, law enforcement officials, and medical providers across the state enough for their lifesaving and tireless work.

Fuck that guy

This doesn't end here. Investigate and prosecute the entire political machinations and ideologies that breed people like this.

Maybe a quibble, but with important, urgent topics that have misinformation swirling about them, a mainstream media fact-check article should state in the headline the answer, not the question.

QUEER JOY IS RESISTANCE NO KINGS, MOTHERFUCKERS

That the Humphrey-Mondale dinner was last night in Minneapolis adds an entirely unique depth of grief to these events.

Senator Majority Leader Erin Murphy's statement on the assassination of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman, and assassination attempt on Senator John Hoffman.

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

Melissa Hortman served in the Minnesota Legislature for over 20 years. A brave and brilliant public servant. A deep and terrible loss for our state that will leave scars for generations.

Gut wrenching

It is going to be another very stressful news day, so particularly if you are in Minnesota and reading this, please go eat something RIGHT NOW and drink a full glass of water - keep your strength and your mind healthy.

Perilous times. Keep your loved ones close. Show up for your people.

Guy getting interviewed for Channel 5 on the I-94 bridge closure this weekend was wearing a sweatshirt that said "Hennything is Possible ~Tonight~" lmao

The kid loves to read Llama Llama Red Pajama for bedtime so tonight we had a little treat and read it to the tune of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit.

In case you don’t follow my council page on Facebook: SPFE helped flag that unfortunately ICE picked up folks near an elementary school in Ward 4 I’ve spoken with SPFE and our city attorney and connected with our congressional delegation. More info in the images and alt text. It’s unacceptable.

🚨BREAKING | Multiple explosions have rocked Tehran overnight as Israeli forces launch strikes on the Iranian capital. Videos in reply

Israel launched an attack against Iran. Missiles fly in the Middle East while Gaza burns. Shame on us all. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/91413/...

Essential reporting from @prospect.org on Boeing: prospect.org/economy/2025...

While the Minnesota Republican US Reps got their clips on Fox News today to impress Dear Leader, their recent votes on Medicaid cuts would devastate the state, take healthcare away from 250,000 Minnesotans, and force the poorest in the state to starve by cutting SNAP benefits.

As the nation again descends into a summer of civil disobedience, remember: the police are financially incentivized to escalate these encounters into dangerous situations.

Made a ridiculously good pasta puttanesca and washed the shower curtain tonight.

This is next up in my @libro.fm queue so I guess I'm joining Lenny's book club now.

Big win for labor yesterday as the Republican effort to repeal or gut the 2023 ban on noncompetes was rebuffed. Big shout out to @emmagreenman.bsky.social, Sen. McEwen, and others, for protecting this provision. minnesotareformer.com/2025/06/10/d...

Could have been worse, but should have been much better. Disappointed we are cutting transit. www.house.mn.gov/sessiondaily...

Teams aren't really ever out of it against OKC because they are just relentless hacks that you can always get to the line and slow the game down.

What was your favorite Les Bolstad UMN golf course moment?

20 first half turnovers is insane

OKC keeping up their strategy they've used all postseason: relentlessly hack the shit out of your opponent and dare the refs to call it.
