reminder: do NOT post/repost videos of someone being shot without content warnings, and also probly don't watch it in general; consistently viewing violence like that over time WILL traumatize u further and u will not actually gain anything from it

I’ll fight her in the primary harder than I’ve ever fought. I’ll volunteer as a delegate. Her values are trash.

Klobuchar will absolutely throw transgender Minnesotans and immigrants to the fascist wolves.

No more sanctuary state under Klob.

Five historic bullet points from Spring and Summer 1903, including people biking on sidewalks and ladies from the Art League throwing discus at a farm event.

Koerth: Why do so many people think crime is up when it’s actually going down? Maggie Koerth asks: Why do so many people β€” from the commenters on Crime Watch posts to the president of the United States β€” keep insisting that we live in a Mad Max hellscape?

Bravo to Maggie Koerth @maggiek.bsky.social for this great piece, which ends with her call to have "high-status" people who are part of the in-group" i.e. white media personalities and politicians being willing to say crime is falling." Say it loud and say it proud. Well done, Maggie!

Preparing to be uprooted at any time but still trying to grow. Death and rebirth time.

Okay, @johnmaddening.bsky.social , here’s a question for you: IS BRYANT LAKE BOWL IN UPTOWN?

Important thread about St. Paul's tax base problems. This is the 5-alarm fire for our city: a lot of legacy infrastructure and expenses + a huge share of untaxable land = we simply need more people to live here. A lot more.

I want people in leadership who will say that plainly. St. Paul must grow.

It’s been my go-to, and it does make me feel quite lucky. The downside: I frequently experience lulls followed my gluts of good stuffβ€”β€œWhen it rains, it pours” energy. That can be A LOT.

Sometimes the best friends are the neurospicy ones who identify as misanthropes, but whoβ€”unbiddenβ€”send you multi-part videos of how to fix something broken in your house because they overheard you being upset about it. @kelseywaitsmn.bsky.social πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

Boundaries of Uptown, based on the original plan from the organization that would become the Uptown Association, when they were campaigning to name the area for business advertising purposes in the 1930s. 

Others disagree, of course, but Lyn-Lake is its own place, and it’s not Uptown. Lowry Hill is its own place, and it’s not Uptown. There’s damn apartment complex a mile into St Louis Park that calls itself β€œEdge of Uptown Apartments”, for heck’s sake! We can at least admit that’s wrong!

I swear, there are people who think everything south of Kenwood Parkway and west of 35W is somehow β€œUptown”, and I hope those people get the help they need.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

calling is real. calls work. they don’t always get what you want β€” nothing in life does. that’s not a reason to not try, if you can.

Don't know what to do?

4/4: Ignore commercial news outlets and unvetted social media feeds. Stop listening to commentary. They'll keep you nervous and distracted. Instead, follow MinnPost, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, NPR/MPR, AP, and Reuters.
