Ramadan Mubarak to everyone celebrating in Minnesota and around the world!

May this blessed month bring peace, hope, and renewal ❤️

12 hot dogs snuggled into 12 jelly donuts with chili, onions, and yellow mustard.

Not sure which of you reprobates put this idea in my head but its mardi gras and i had to go to a potluck so: Detroit-style paczki conies.

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate🧧

The last Year of the Fire Horse began in '66 & saw anti-war protests & civil rights struggle. It was the year Rev. Jackson left seminary to join Dr. King’s Freedom Movement.

May 2026 bring New York the same bold change people deserve.

As a kid, I couldn’t get enough of this one and the Phantom Tollbooth. @phantomtollbot.bsky.social

love to see it

this is what we folks here in the twin cities metro & across MN would really like you to understand —

1. they’re still here harming & destabilizing our communities

2. the reverberations will be felt for a very long time

3. even if they all left right now, there’s still a huge crisis to address

We got it passed at committee! Grateful to my colleagues for supporting the amendment to increase the small business resiliency fund by an additional $2 Million dollars. My colleagues at the legislature — want to have a friendly competition on who can bring the most recovery dollars forward? 🙂

Oh my God, someone in this rapid response call may have the Big Naturals Tom Bombadil as a user pic, and I don't think it's the guy going by Tom Bombadil...

Curse the tiny phone screen.

I can do all things through shaah which powers me.

a fucking pedophile sexually abused nearly every prospective and actual Olympian gymnast for over two decades, and the political discourse is hyper-fixated on the hypothetical unfairness of trans girls competing with cis girls

Little fat red ceramic horse.

Small white ceramic horse.

Small black ceramic horse.

Happy Year of the Horse! 🎉

Once again I am telling you we are going to enter a golden age of people pretending a head of state is still alive for a lot longer then normal

I like the bullhorns for winter, because sometimes I want to really wrench the wheel around in slush.

Twinsies!

Live your life so that the anti-ice neighborhood chat doesn't think you are either ICE or "non-ICE, still an asshole".

It's actually probably not impressive to Europeans, but it's aluminum frame, belt drive, internal hub, fenders, skirt guard, thumb shift, rubberized top rail.

I've added bullhorn handlebars and studded tires.

Venture Bikes made my winter/city bike all smooth and happy... For less than $150, including a re-lube of my internally geared hub!

(It did take a while to get the magical grease)

It's a Trek Soho, possibly the smartest city bike ever.

3 inch white button says Jesse Jackson in blue ink and '88 in red ink.

Jesse Jackson presidential button from 1988. Paul Wellstone ran his caucus campaign in Minnesota.

Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras.

This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

If you are confiscating writing materials from imprisoned children because they smuggled out a letter that described the conditions they're living under, you are a literal monster and should be treated accordingly.

Worth noting that as I read the rest of the focus group’s answers they identify “progressive” less with any specific ideology as with the stance that the government can and should DO BIG THINGS for people and with general temperament

They want fighters who will make things happen without compromise

Demuth: GOP caucus directed YouTuber to Minnesota. A professor explains why it went viral University of Minnesota media law professor Jane Kirtley says the new viral video is flashy but absent of facts to back up its claims.

I'm going to need this to be talked about daily, local news needs to bring this up any time they talk about Demuth.
Let's put it on billboards, make some ads.
"Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth said Monday that her caucus steered YouTube creator Nick Shirley to day care sites in Minnesota"

Every day is a good day to call your members of congress and tell them they should join Rep. Ilhan Omar in this. (neat, I don't have to call my Rep's office though maybe I will to thank her.)

Ramadan Mubarak, friends!

This sign is up in my south Minneapolis neighborhood right now. We regularly vote at among the highest rates in the country.

I cannot express how enormous the gulf is between the people on the ground and what we're hearing from national Democratic leadership.

Historian of medicine here. Yes. Yes, they did.

new post from Daniel on OSS docs! Always worth reading :)

The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

I made the claim that the FBI declared the Black Panthers dangerous, not because they were Black nationalists or supremacists. They weren't.

They were dangerous because they preached racial *solidarity*.

But don't take my word for it!

Listen to Fred Hampton's own words.
