β€œMy dearest Wilhelmina, I write to you from the front, where news is grim.

The tyrant has issued a new executive order against β€˜hoagies of mass destruction,’ and our sandwicheers find themselves low on supplies.

Thankfully, the Arby Irregulars have commenced ambushes to lessen the pressure.”

Regarding today's local jackassery:

This is in opposition to the DFL's Code of Conduct and to the DFL's Ongoing Platform.

And personally. If anyone wants to be included in the big tent, at the cost of expunging another group, they're welcome to leave.

My wife and I are so excited to have welcomed our son, Imran, this weekend. Mom and baby are both doing well. I’m incredibly overwhelmed with love and gratitude as we begin this next chapter of our lives, growing our family in the city we love.

Hey DeShaun, nothing personal, but I’m not giving a single dollar of my money to any UCLA program until there’s a public apology for how the administration treated the Palestinian protesters, and finds their fucking nuts.

Random #mayorpalooza observation - really nice to meet so many of the trans community last night. Smart, savvy folks absolutely unafraid to press not just their community’s dire issues under authoritarianism, but the wider needs of Minneapolis. We all benefit from fighting to be a trans refuge.
