crazy that an influx of dense infill housing can lower prices and make homeownership more attainable

Ok, I'm about to brag on my spouse a little bit here... 🧵 On Tuesday night a bitter spat over the date & location of the Ward 2 Democratic Party (DFL) convention in Mpls became a lawsuit against the @mplsdfl.org. Recognizing an urgent question, the court scheduled a hearing <48 hours later. (1/3)

The HHS report on gender dysphora -- henceforth the "Trump Report" -- really is that apocalyptic of a broadside against trans people. Nothing in it is law -- yet. Which is why it's a good time for cis people to make angry noises about it and trans people to make plans for what to do next.

We’re doing a something good you’re doing to ease the despair exercise in this State Subcommittee for Children’s Mental Health meeting and someone wrote “There is good in the world and it’s worth fighting for, Mr Frodo” and I just started bawling. SOBBING. I don’t even like those books!

The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion. Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates. What’s “moderate” about that?

This is a widely inaccurate & dangerous mischaracterization. The vaccine was developed in fetal cells obtained from two elective abortions in the early 1960s. There is not abortion debris floating around in the vaccine. And the Vatican has okayed its use. RFK Jr. is again spreading disinformation.

I lost a really important person in my life last week and I really can’t handle any more loss. Every hour I hear of more cuts to amazing programs that I’ve dedicated so much to like Head Start and the Minnesota Council on developmental disabilities. The grief is too much and I’m just gutted.

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

If there was reliable funding and appropriate training for clinicians and timely access to diagnosis and no 3 year wait lists for therapy— autistic people with the highest support needs and their families would struggle so much less. We have a healthcare crisis, not an autism epidemic.

I'm the default parent not because my husband rejects it but because my children are obsessed with me, and I'm going through a thing right now and just want to be alone but they won't go to bed unless they are physically on top of my body. This is the hardest part of being a mom.

We need a law against directly operating state money to a named nonprofit in the statute. We should be sending grants to the agencies and let them do extensive vetting. Individual legislators just don’t have the resources and this is what we end up in.

Cool that @mprnews.org is doing a piece on bipolar disorder. Last caller was on the same meds as me and that felt cool to hear. Also Angela Davis sounding surprised about how you don’t recognize you’re manic when you’re manic is good to work through where others van hear.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.
