under wicked sky

I’m a slut for anything with @iwriteok.bsky.social in it, but Robert Evans dragging Ben Shapiro is always the tastiest of those treats.

Tim Walz handpicked Richard to be the next DFL chair, so I assume that the way all of this is unfolding is exactly how the governor wants it to go?

Wait until you hear how many people on SEC are *also* on CBRC…

Please read this. This is a five alarm fire.

I have some @michaelforparks.bsky.social signs in my car if you’d like one!

THEY LIIIIIVE!!!!! so good to see you back, we’ve missed your hot takes

I’m opposed to child labor EXCEPT when it gets my entire filthy car cleaned out—with everything sorted into trash vs. recycle—for the low low price of “this is a toonie, it’s Canada money, and you can keep all the pop tabs from cans you find” plus an explanation of what Canada is.

I can't recall where this originated but I'll never ever stop laughing at it.

Damn dude that sucks so bad, I’m so sorry.

TEN DAYS after that fatal hit-and-run, Cyndy was at a quarterly in-person meeting of the DFL State Central Committee to accept a nomination to be on the CBRC—the state committee that would go on to throw out the 2025 Minneapolis DFL mayoral endorsement just over a year later.

A copy paste of the affirmative action, outreach, and inclusion statements from the official DFL documents: The following Affirmative Action, Outreach, and Inclusion Statement is to be read at the beginning of precinct caucuses, party conventions, and other meetings where elections or nominations occur: AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, OUTREACH, AND INCLUSION STATEMENT The DFL seeks to end discrimination and bigotry in all its forms and to inspire broad participation in our party. As part of our commitment to outreach and inclusion, we will take affirmative steps to increase the participation of members of all underrepresented communities. When you vote today, remember this commitment includes electing members of underrepresented communities both to positions within the DFL party and to public office. After the Affirmative Action, Outreach, and Inclusion Statement has been read, the Affirmative Action, Outreach, and Inclusion Reminder is read in lieu of the full Affirmative Action, Outreach, and Inclusion Statement before voting begins in each election. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, OUTREACH, AND INCLUSION REMINDER As you vote today, remember that the DFL is committed to electing members of underrepresented communities both to positions within the DFL party and to public office.

I can’t believe I have to point this out but the “affirmative action and inclusion statement” regurgitated at every DFL internal election DOES NOT mean “TERFs, Republicans, and reactionary ***** should fill our leadership roles in proportion to their prevalence in Minnesota as a whole.”

DARVO

You are a fucking legend please don’t ever change

Unfortunately there’s an appalling amount of overlap between the membership of CBRC (that overturned the Mpls DFL convention) and the TERF-approved slate that will continue running the Feminist Caucus.

Screenshot of a Google search for the phrase “can you hold your breath so long you die?”. The AI generated (ugh I know, sorry) answer is “No, it is not possible to die from simply holding your breath. While you can pass out from holding your breath, your body has natural reflexes that will force you to start breathing again before you suffer any long-term damage or death, according to Healthline and Medical News Today. The urge to breathe is a powerful biological imperative that overrides the conscious decision to hold your breath.”

This is the kind of experience that I was referring to when I told Richard Carlbom (back during his pre-coronation “listening tour”) that I feel I can no longer in good conscience suggest that young people who want to organize for a better city/state/world consider getting involved in the DFL.

“DFL Republican Caucus”?

“Suburban Ghouls With Checkbooks Caucus”?

Joe exotic tiger King meme with the caption “that well-dressed bitch Michael Baskins”

I think the state party finally shut the entire listserv off after the CBRC mess last week, but until that point this dude was allowed to freely blast shit like this (but exponentially longer and more vicious) to hundreds of local unit officers whenever he pleased.

That same guy is a frequent sender of loooooooooong unhinged rants on the state DFL listserv. Topics vary slightly but the overt anti progressive message is always there and usually includes specific targeting of a particular young progressive who happens to be a very effective organizer.

Ok but is he locking the doors to his car and taking the keys with him for the 30 seconds this takes?

Bring a friend or ten!

Strib screenshot of stmt from Fateh campaign re DFL CBRC revoking endorsement: Fateh campaign says, 'We're going to win' 3:30 p.m. - Omar Fateh's co-campaign manager Graham Faulkner said in a statement Thursday that "28 mostly out-state, establishment Democrats, including many Frey donors and supporters, met privately and voted to overturn the will of Minneapolis residents." "Our campaign sees this for what it is: disenfranchisement of thousands of Minneapolis caucus-goers and the delegates who represented all of us on convention day. The establishment is threatened by our message. They are scared of a politics that really stands up to corporate interests and with our working class neighbors," he said. Faulkner said the revoked endorsement will not slow Fateh's campaign down: "We're going to win."

Get mad if you need to but then get generous (if you’re able) and get involved!
