ONE OF THE GREATEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE WAS JUST NOW WHEN PEARL JAM WAS BLASTING THROUGH A COVER OF “ROCKIN IN THE FREE WORLD” AND THE JUMBOTRON CAMERA ZOOMED IN ON A GUY UP FRONT WHOSE SHIRT READ “JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE”

I can't believe that someone seeking the DFL endorsement in 2025 is talking about "the desired amount of melanin" in campaign emails. Shame on you, Becka Thompson. Aurin Chowdhury was elected because she was the most qualified candidate and will be reelected for the same reason. Grow up.

Becka Thompson just accused her opponent of being a DEI hire, and she wants to represent Minneapolis?

remember when mayor frey vetoed ongoing immigration legal services funding in December 2024?

very exciting day for the Villanueva haters :)))))

“Alex Villanueva has features of antisocial and narcissistic personality disorder that includes repeated lying; a lack of remorse; a grandiose sense of self-importance; entitlement; exploitative and manipulative behavior; a lack of empathy; and arrogance.”

This UCLA psychiatrist's expert evaluation of ex-sheriff Alex Villanueva is ... really something. (The county hired Cohen to do this eval to determine whether Villanueva had really suffered emotional distress as a result of being put on a "Do Not Rehire" list, as he alleged in his lawsuit.)

Tomorrow, nearly 300 unsheltered people in Minneapolis will be at the mercy of the storm, because our mayor’s ego is too big and he has to maintain the lie that unsheltered homelessness is down to 27 people.

Only Luka Doncic could make me hate the Lakers

9-year-old me would DYING if she heard my 5-year-old screaming “GO TIMBERWOLVES! GET THAT BALL FROM THE LAKERS!”

The baby knows what’s good. Thank you to @epni-urbanfarm.bsky.social for the frybread tacos and fun event!

Minneapolis they will try to make me hate you but they won’t succeed

My older son spends time brainstorming activities and games for his little brother to do. Parenting is hard but these little moments make it better.

I love kids. You can take them to a restaurant and order them grilled cheese and they act like it’s this incredible revelation.

Once again, Jacob Frey's administration has chosen to not take accountability for their actions, and instead peddle a demonstrably false narrative about our unhoused neighbors. (Gift Link to opinion piece in the Strib) www.startribune.com/opinion-were...

Older child has been singing TV Off a lot lately. His version of the lyrics is “Turn the TV off, turn the TV off! BUSTERRR!”

Every time I meet a public defender I think “I should go to law school.” Public defenders rock.

Just listened to Paula Chesley’s episode of @wedge.live and I am shocked. She has absolutely no idea how the homeless services sector works at all and advocates for forced institutionalization of unhoused people. Absolutely appalling for a supposed DFL candidate.

In the past month, Minneapolis DFL did the following 1. Rescheduled W2 convention to happen AFTER UMN students are done for the semester 2. Rescheduled W6 convention to happen on Eid Al-Adha 3. In a ward w/ 2 candidates going for the DFL nom, asked only 1 candidate to shell out $$$ for translation

Bring back Open Streets East Lake, you cowards

anyway I’m not a fan of governors in general.

I feel very justified in never buying into the “Big Gretch” hype.

well we *were* having a peaceful morning. watching old-school Sesame Street on DVD, getting donuts in our pajamas. Then one child got in the other child’s “business space.”

Everybody needs an Izzy. They just can’t have my @izzzzzzyyyyyy.bsky.social

I overheard Becka Thompson at one of her campaign events saying everything she does is for the children and as her speech continued I realized I wouldn’t leave either of my children alone with her for even two minutes.
