On the spectrum of possibilities I would put her closer to Chughtai than to a Vetaw or Rainville, assuming she doesn't cave to pressure if she happens to get elected.

I think it's unfair to her. I agree that she has attracted the support of pretty much all the worst people you can think of, but from what I can tell it's because they hate Aisha Chughtai that much, and Lydia is "less that"

I'll be there talking about tabletop roleplaying games!

So much of the crisis is the fact that liberals are unwilling to describe what's happening, because they're scared to say that their opponents are lying, are operating in bad faith, want evil or harmful policy, and don't share our basic goals about what society should look like

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn’t a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social

"There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

“These people are full of shit.”

Ilhan Omar @ilhanmn.bsky.social, who faced multiple death threats from people who've since been convicted, calls out Trump +allies for weaponizing Charlie Kirk’s killing against the left.

If I seem contemptuous about false piety, it's because I am.

My teenager is very much into learning new languages, I've sent this their way, and will pass along any feedback.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Also, if Ezra Klein believed in politics defined by vigorous debate with your opponents, he could come here on Bluesky and confront critics who engage with his ideas.

But he won’t do that, because what he actually believes in is a politics where everyone worships Ezra Klein for his profundity.

I ignored the murder of Melissa Hortman. Here’s why I’ll be talking about the murder of Charlie Kirk all day today.

by most liberal pundits

It's unfortunate that Kirk died. It's more unfortunate how he lived.

What really tears me apart about this election is I disagree on some of the policy preferences of our most progressive council members, but on the other hand our me-me-me mayor can't be trusted, has a record of failure, and his richest supporters are some world class dirtbags.

haven’t seen hamoudi sabri’s response to this shared yet - he says “the city should sue itself before it sues me” and that “my dog would do a better job - a new mayor is well overdue.”

I said it before and I'll say it again, Frey and company are coming to ruin any chance at a DFL majority, and DFL elected officials and party leaders need to stop fucking around with these nitwits if they want to win a DFL majority anytime in the near future.

i remember a milton friedman argument that went like "capitalism will end bigotry because the liberal orgs will outcompete the bigoted ones" and that may work for a spherical economy in a vacuum but i think the way to look at it is people in charge of things going "how much bigotry can i afford?"

Kids are now seasoned road warriors. Minneapolis to B.C. and back, with stops at a couple farms, the Royal Canadian Mint, and roadside ice cream stalls for that tiger ice cream along the way.

literally the donor class. they would rather give $5,000 for negative tv ads than get off their assess and talk to folks on the doors or in community.

when they say they “don’t trust the DFL” they mean the L in Democrat-Farmer-Labor.

there is no DFL trifecta w/o Labor. period.

Strong disagree, on numerous levels, but I think the biggest point of disagreement is that I believe the DFL and the Democrats more broadly have ceded *so much* ground to conservatives and centrists seeking shelter from the absolutely insane GOP, I'm ok with a few folks having a bit of discomfort.

Goddamn these were good.
