The media can piss off with the wine mom BS. It's just derisive misogyny wearing yet another label. Women are carrying the bulk of support work like they've always done - supply chains, communication, organization. That invisible labor that happens on the daily. Show some goddamned respect.

The use of passive voice in this gem of a paragraph is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this article:

β€œIt’s completely unfair to the agents who have been put in this position,” he added. β€œThere’s only so much they can handle before bad things start to happen.”

"The DFLer in 47A is unopposed, can't I skip?"/ "64A is a super blue district, do I really need to worry about this one?"

GO VOTE OUT OF SPITE.

GO VOTE TO SHOW THAT OUR STATE VOTES NO MATTER WHAT.

A woman’s hand with silver rings and deep red nail polish.

My daughter called me up and said,”I can’t make the world not be on fire, but if you come over, I’ll paint your nails, and it’ll be something to make you smile.” So I did and she did. It helped to be with her for a while. And my hands look pretty good for a 65-year-old woman.

The violence and chaos from the federal government that has the Twin Cities under siege is an effort, it seems, to trigger the legal ability to neutralize the Constitution nationally.

The only thing holding it off is Minnesotans adamantly refusing to step over the line.

I am here at church, and one of my neighbors showed up in a Norwegian patterned wool sweater and polka-dotted pajama pants, and I am HERE for that fashion choice.

I have a bad feeling the 8th Circuit is going to lead to the government murdering more brave patriots in Minneapolis and it's just reminding me that a political solution to the judge problem will be harder to execute.

I drove by that corner every time I went to work. And also by the site of Renee Good’s murder. My workplace is less than a mile away (I retired this month).
