my brother if you are struggling to get laid in 2025 and you think you'd do better in a world where women are even more aggressively shamed for expressing their sexuality and also don't have access to birth control i don't know what to tell you.

Congress taking an entire month off in a country where most people don’t get more than 2 weeks vacation is awesome

He’d be about 75 at the end of his term. What are we doing here?

Summer is the worst season and you cannot convince me otherwise.

Chuck Schumer wants 77-year-old Janet Mills to run for Senate next year.

Mills would be 85 by the end of her first term.

Are you sure you were in Ward 1? Did you get lost on the way from the ward you live in?

why is the campaign for the Mayor, who is an attorney who was a practicing litigator for the better part of a decade, filing a complaint that look and read like deranged NextDoor posts

If the text was an attempt to remove enough delegates to prevent there from being a quorum in order to stop an endorsement vote, it backfired, said Hamline University political science professor David Schultz. “It’s not unusual to do something like that,” Schultz said. “But when you do that, you want to make sure that you’re going to be effective.”

“I would be surprised if they overturned it,” Schultz said of the state DFL Party. “That would be a significant second-guessing of what’s happening at the convention.” Omar endorsement could signal new phase in Minneapolis politics Omar is the first Somali American to carry the DFL endorsement for mayor of Minnesota’s largest city. If elected, he would be the first Somali American to serve in the office, and the first socialist in the post in more than a century. “This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual,” Omar wrote on X following the endorsement. “It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us.” That Omar was able to break a long precedent of no endorsements for Minneapolis mayor is also telling, Schultz said, noting that the last time the party was united behind a candidate for that office was in 2009 with R.T. Rybak. “Since then the [Minneapolis DFL] has been splitting further and further...

David Schultz, one of the two political pundits mainstream media talks to in Minnesota, is skeptical of Frey's convention tactics and challenge and notes the historic nature of Omar Fateh's victory.

We normally don't air our dirty laundry at the DFL. But since Conrad is a candidate for public office, and now that the conventions are over, I feel it's important to let you all know that Conrad is not fit for leadership. He will never receive my vote again, for public office or DFL office.

Will Stancil/Conrad Zbikowski 2028

But seriously, do you know how alternate upgrading by precinct works?

Screenshot of myself asking Conrad Zbikowski why he included a picture showing a section of a convention empty nearly a half hour after voting had ended.

A picture showing that Conrad blocked me after asking.

Conrad literally blocked me after I asked him why he included that picture.

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

So why include it at all?

Any reason why you included a picture of your section a half hour after voting concluded for your race?

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

If it’s not their love of Creed, it’s their love of Parks.

Go Jason!

Expect random rumbles and heavy rain tonight. It will become more widespread by daybreak.

Could be a soaker of a morning drive.

Heads up - some thunderstorms seem likely to impact the metro area of the Twin Cities and much of eastern/central MN this evening! We'll see if they do the little Minneapolis dance and somehow avoid the city - but right now tracking toward Minneapolis and then St. Paul. #MNWX

Title text: "Frey's Record" w/ subtitle, "On Housing & Homelessness" above the text "What Frey Says: When he first ran for mayor in 2017, Jacob Frey promised to end homelessness in the city in 5 years. Eight years later and no closer to his goal, he decided to falsely claim only "27 people are experiencing unsheltered homelessness across our city" next to a photo of Jacob Frey and above the text, "The Reality: Hennepin County shared data on April 8th, 2025 suggesting that 628 people experienced homelessness in Hennepin County in the past 3 months, with 85=90% of them in Minneapolis." With a Mpls for the Many logo in the bottom-right-hand corner.

When Jacob Frey first ran for mayor in 2017, he infamously promised to end homelessness in 5 years.

Eight years later, homelessness in Minneapolis is no better than when he first ran.

And since Mayor Frey can’t rely on actual data, he started making up his own.

Democrats just won back the house in 2026, if they’re not stupid.

SCOTUS is aiming to undo birthright citizenship and the VRA and keeps gutting the first amendment, while GOP is set to pass a bill that outlaws green energy and kills medicare, so Hakeem is ready to do what must be done: direct all fire at the charismatic leftist promising better through solidarity

This is just incredibly dim politics from a dude whose district voted +40 something for Mamdani.

He's begging to be primaried.

Storms are gradually closing in on the Twin Cities and eastern MN. Definitely a good night to have your weather radio and/or phone nearby with a lingering tornado threat and abundant storm energy. #mnwx

Twin Cities:

Be weather aware tonight, folks!

Storms on the way.

plan for how you are either:

-donating to zohran for the general
-donating to an org canvassing for him
-taking a shift on doors
-phone/text banking

there is going to need to be an army working against the amount of super PACs the democratic establishment is about to pop up

alright time to primary hakeem jeffries

75 year old congressman from Virginia announces he’s running for reelection. His previous post is about death of his colleague, Gerry Connolly, who also represented Virginia and died at 75.

Trump just made up a name for a war and pretended there’s a ceasefire.

Only about 5-6 months into his presidency.
