It’s not our job as @mapeunion.bsky.social members to fix our employer’s budget. We’re gathering for a solidarity social to keep moving this fight along while the state of Minnesota tries its best to screw over its employees and therefore the people who depend on public service (that’s everyone btw)

Craig Finn of the hold steady is bathed in blue lights as he sings with outstretched arms to a crowd with their hands up

The Hold Steady at @firstavenue.bsky.social is the closest I come to church #SepSun20

I won’t back down (by the banks of the Mississippi River

He sure has a brand lol

*Craig Finn voice* And the women in the bathroom were making jokes about there being a line for the girls at a Hold Steady show

I dunno this feels more like a @chrissteller.bsky.social joint

American Girls Go for Looks Guys go for Status #TheHoldPetty

Hold Petty: a cover band covering Tom petty in the style of the Hold Steady #HoldSteady

Southtown girls is a funeral dirge for the party city and rainbow foods that were at the quarry

Is it more embarrassing to go to a show wearing the band’s t shirt or looking like a doppelgänger of the lead singer? Asking for every dude at the hold steady show.

if Elon Musk broke the law on Sunday (he did) it's not too late to indict him in Wisconsin.

Wrote a lil thing about why our response to the RTO order is not about telework: medium.com/@cehoch/stat...

Trump signs order ending union bargaining rights for wide swaths of federal employees President Trump's new executive order ends collective bargaining for wide swaths of federal employees, as part of his broader campaign to reshape the government's workforce. Unions are vowing to sue.

How is Trump citing security as the reason to outlaw collective bargaining of federal workers when his order notably excludes law enforcement? "'Police and firefighters will continue to collectively bargain,' the White House fact sheet states"

The bullshit is so brazen

I was so impatient to learn how to ride a big kid bike that I just got on it and ride before my parents got out the door (I did fall down like three minutes later)

If you’ve never heard the sound of several hundred people giggling in unison, check out a Tesla protest when a cybertruck drives by.

Point well made, but when it comes to the actual off boarding and termination of all employees if sups weren’t doing it though? How would they have the time!?!

We bargain over “… hours of employment, compensation (including fringe benefits), and personnel policies affecting working conditions.” I’d call this a personnel policy affecting working conditions. We currently have rights to get a business reason and appeal revocations, so this goes around that.

You think they want to do that paperwork though???

Look I’m annoyed that I had to be here instead of like, at a Tesla takedown protest, but if you give an inch, they take a mile, and labor can’t afford that right now. It’s not about telework, it’s about worker and union rights.

I have 200 theories on this and not one casts Tim in a good light.

Honestly the weirdest part is that if this were a goal of some sort, his management would be negotiating with us starting in three weeks. Weird for somebody so concerned about how government employees are being treated to try and circumvent unions!!!

Many of my coworkers took paycuts to work for the state, based on the promise of flexibility. Now, with kids set in summer camps/care they’re stuck without being able to get them on before/after care programs for summer because those were locked in months ago.

Why should poorly paid state workers have to subsidize wealthy landlords who won’t lease their buildings at reasonable rates or maintain their buildings? I already work in office 3 days/week and the only time I ever buy lunch is the Wednesday Community Lunch at Central Presbyterian.

Yeah mma should be planning how to freaking not enforce this nonsense.

Honestly I’m annoyed I had to be using my limited energy for this instead of fighting federal administration fuckery.

Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov you know what’s not cool? Talking about how you’re a champion for labor and for fired federal workers, then unilaterally making a huge decision for your state workers. All of our unions are right here and you start negotiating with us in 2 weeks, so kind of a weird move.

Rumeysa Ozturk must not be deported. You can't kidnap someone off the street for their political views — this isn't Moscow.

She has every right to speak her mind. I've contacted the Administration. I want answers.

RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.

New York Times spelling bee game featuring six grey hexagons with letters R,A,B,C,I,D surrounding a yellow hexagon with the letter T. Above it, the word “adiabatic” is spelled out with a black bar over it that says “not in word list”

Frankly just rude for Spelling Bee not to accept adiabatic. Take a physics class, word nerds!

One medical bill can wipe you out, and we deserve to have more in life than just lots of jobs and side hustling and trying to make more money. The cure can’t be individual- it’s a systemic issue and I hate discourse that budgeting gives “financial freedom.” Because it sure doesn’t feel like it.
