CARTOON OF THE DAY

(From @deadder.bsky.social )

I have used your political reporting with young people in my classroom for years. It was a wonderful way to keep students engaged and connected with the things impacting them in this country and world. Now is not the time to reduce your staff on political reporting. It’s more important than ever.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

I finally met DeWayne last week and was happily surprised by how much he knew about Minneapolis government and how much experience in government he has had. He would be ready to start governing and making the whole city work together on day 1.

If your newspaper is giving Donald Trump softer headlines and gauzier coverage than People Magazine, that should be a bit of a wake up call.

The cruelty is the point.

2025 Minneapolis Election Recommendations Here are my recommendations for the municipal election in Minneapolis coming up on November 4, 2025, and some photos I've taken this year.

Fewer people are as well versed in local politics as @taylordahlin.com

Give this a read!!

WATCH: “Even if these were real people this is an absurd story to cover — you’re a news organization. You need to confirm that person exists.”

@timmiller.bsky.social ethers 🔥@foxnews for falling for racist AI videos about SNAP recipients. (Then trying badly to cover it up)

More Americans blame Republicans for the shutdown.

Kristi Noem blasts “foreigners” for dangerous driving. According to the Rapid City Journal, that state’s court records show Noem had 20 speeding tickets dating back to 1989, alongside other violations, including failure to stop at an intersection and invalid license plates.

Just finished reading Gatsby with my students. Such an appropriate piece for students to critique our own culture through literature.

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.

If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.

So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”

Because that IS what they are going to say.

Why I Went Plant-Based (And Why We Should All Eat Less Meat) Dr. Goodall went plant-based after confronting what that meat represents: pain. Since, she learned more reasons why the work to #eatmeatless is important.

Today is World Vegan Day! If you are concerned about climate change, reducing meat and dairy in your diet is one of the most powerful individual actions you can take.

"The effect of our modern meat production on the environment is truly terrifying." Jane Goodall news.janegoodall.org/2017/04/28/w...

Give to your local food bank. Build mutual aid wherever and however you can. If we’re going to make something better it’s going to depend on reinvigorating a sense of interconnectedness.

We’re all in this together and the fight depends on recognizing that.

I’ll keep the lights on, for the City of Minneapolis.

I'd already planned on Ramen.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

"[Not using the funding already allocated to keep SNAP going] is a decision the president is making--on his own--to allow people to go hungry."

Big surpise: Republicans are lying about
SNAP funding.

Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in local economic activity. Without SNAP, that will mean a loss of $15 billion to the US economy just in November alone.

YouTube video by CNN Speaker Johnson sued over refusal to swear in democrat needed for Epstein vote

It's no longer about politics and Democrats vs Republicans. It's about right and wrong. It's about decency, morality and integrity and the MAGA Republicans have shown they have none of those qualities.

Swear in Adelita Grijalva and Release the Epstein Files.
