I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...
Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.
It took 7+ years of coordinated, multi-collation organizing to set the conditions that resulted in the election of Mamdani. Mpls is gonna have to get on the good foot if we’re ever going to rid ourselves of Jacob Frey.
No matter where I live in Minneapolis, I somehow manage to be triangulated by 3 tornado sirens.
GOP realized years ago they’d never successfully run a Republican for Mpls mayor so they just bought Frey.
One of the most offensive and tone deaf statements ever from the DFL party chair. He talks about broadening the coalition when he just kicked so many of us out of it by caving to the donors and insiders who have been pressuring him over the people who actually show up.

Little stomping, screaming monsters moved in next door in my side-by-side duplex. Am I allowed to hobble a toddler?
I started renting in Minneapolis over 30 years ago. You know what hasn’t changed? The blatant anti-Black racism. Apartment availability mysteriously disappears the moment I show up for the viewing 80% of the time.
I should be allowed to purge the jackholes still setting off fireworks at 1:30am.
No one on this 2 hr flight can sit still. It’s like flying with 100 toddlers.
There’s a special place in hell for people who wear fragrance on an airplane.
Yes, an in unit private pool.
Minneapolis, I’m looking for an apartment, preferably in Lyndale/Kingfield. Lemme know.
Is nobody training canvassers these days? If I say no thank you, the response should be, “sorry to bother you” and leave. What you don’t do is try to debate and convince me that I really do want to talk. If I could legally electrify my doorbell and install a tiger pit under my front step, I would.
Minnesota’s arts orgs are losing funding for refusing to comply with a federal effort to resegregate the country. Billion-dollar foundations like McKnight, Bush, & MAC must step up. Your endowments will be worthless in a fascist state. Fund the resistance. Fund the arts. Now.
If I ever find a Black therapist in Minneapolis, know that is probably a sign that our reality has fractured or that the world is ending.
I shouldn’t need the morning after pill to watch the Golden Globes.
Okay, Twin Cities.
I’ve been missing singing and I’m looking for a choir to join. Hit me with your recommendations, if you know of a choir in MSP.
*I’m not trying to be the only Black person in the choir.
Preview of my next post: anyone want to start a choir with me?
Look, I’m not going to the show if I’m not guaranteed to be home in bed by 10pm.
‼️Action alert 11.12‼️
HR 9495, will give the Treas. Secy. power to designate nonprofits as “terrorist-supporting”; end tax-exempt status w/o due process. It will be used against NPOs that express political opinions deemed to be critical of govt.
Contact your rep: vote no on HR 9495. bit.ly/VoteNo9495
Sanewashing is one of the ways conservatives are attempting to stifle opposition from nonprofits. This is another: dismantling advocacy and policy nonprofit organizations and their philanthropic support. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
This is the umptenth time this article has been fed to me by the algorithm across multiple social channels. We should all be wary of this type of sanewashing, often coming from the same conservative architects of our current dystopian unraveling. www.philanthropy.com/commons/trum...
Make a soundtrack playlist and pretend you’re in a movie as you look out the window.
Finally wandering over here. Need an algorithm accelerator to reconnect with all of my non-bot friends. Here we go: Walz is anti-Black; fat bears forever; white Christian nationalism is the greatest threat to bodily autonomy; watch this space for shit posting during the MN Legislative Session.
Okay, Minneapolis Gen X. Are we still taking over the DFL Senior Caucus. I’m newly eligible!
Just caught sight of today's hair situation. I look like if Lion-O ThunderCat and Fredrick Douglas had a baby.
I have 55 days to get this synchro routine under control.
I’m prepared to shitpost like it’s 2008
