Platner is not a victim of opposition research. This is what happens when you run for federal office. People scrutinize everything you’ve ever done. Every word and every action. Accountability does not exist in playing the victim of your own behavior.

You know I just wanted to Bluesky at 1am like any normal insomniac but apparently all the world is a baseball today.

Skeets I cannot show my children

Are the folks trying to debate the plausibility of accidentally getting a Nazi tattoo also going to give Musk a pass for accidentally doing a Nazi salute. These things are the same guys. You don't Nazi by mistake.

After a few days offline, Becka Thompson's TikTok account is back. I never bothered to make a spreadsheet of all her bullshit, but she definitely deleted some of her worst videos.

Though that may have been her burning her own money. I did not check that, just watched many times, cackling that I was wasting her ad budget.

Oh I absolutely got Becka Thompson ads on Facebook reels last week

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US.

Extraordinary burn

Who says there is no joy to be had in local politics? I, for one, am fucking riveted by this thread.

(Many thanks to @taylordahlin.com for the excellent reporting)

Pro-tip: if you're ever trying to figure out who *not* to vote for, check out the lawn signs posted outside apartment buildings. As a general rule, it's safe to assume that landlords and I have different policy objectives.

TIP: When you vote early the Secretary of State will update your info sometime in the next week to reflect that you voted and any functional campaign will stop trying to contact you.

Not the plot of this 1981 gem

My uncle posted on the old FB today and just wrote "Arlington is full of Antifa" and that spun me round a minute.

Becka Thompson tells the Star Tribune she lives in the Cooper neighborhood. far from the park district she represents.

state law says a local elected office becomes vacant when the office holder no longer resides in the district.

We knew this moment was coming. Ward 12 candidate Becka Thompson claiming residence in a neighborhood outside her current park district means she's either lying or must resign her park board seat.

Y'all remember that movie Idiocracy?

Did you know that while the second MMR vaccine is typically administered at age 4, your child can get it sooner! You can get the second shot anytime at least 30 days after the first shot.

The HPV vaccine is recommended for all genders and available as young as age 9.

Get on it folks!

Last night, people from across Minneapolis came together at the Lake Harriet Bandshell for a Rally for Change with @omarfatehmn.com, @dewayneforminneapolis.com and @jazzformayor.bsky.social

The message was simple: Minneapolis is ready for a new mayor and in order to do so, rank all 3!

But the message of the night wasn’t simply unity - it was about the opportunity ahead of us for progress.

Each candidate highlighted how they are excited by one another’s campaign and how all three are offering residents a chance to take Minneapolis in a new, progressive direction.

Folks, I don’t know what end is up right now.

People are such killjoys.

I once had a patron of Cedar Inn pass out on my front lawn. It was *hilarious*. I chuckled so hard, I was even willing to forgive the broken halloween sign.

Now, the woman in pajamas and slippers that the paramedics called to pick him up, less amused, but so it goes.

We deserve better than a leadership that lurches from crisis to crisis. Despite what Mayor Frey wants you to think, we don’t have to choose between permanent encampments or bulldozers. We deserve a leader who will meet this need with the compassion and urgency it requires. 5/5

This letter is now live and ready for signatories!

We are asking cisgender allies in Minnesota who consider themselves members of the DFL to sign on to show support for trans people here.

I just did a three minute trip to the grocery store. The song playing majestically in the background was the Brittany classic "Lucky". As I zipped around the store, myself and at least a half dozen other elder millennials were belting along. It was magnificent. This is our time.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

PUBLIC HEALTH ORDER NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SECRETARY GINA DEBLASSIE AUGUST 29, 2025 Ensuring Availability of COVID-19 Vaccine for the 2025-2026 Season

THIS ORDER supersedes any previous order, proclamation, or directives to the extent they are in conflict. This Public Order shall take effect immediately and remain in effect until such time as it automatically expires one year from the date of issuance, or until such time as the New Mexico Department of Health Cabinet Secretary rescinds it.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Fateh will raise millions from this. He may even win because of this.

But our party? This is likely the beginning of the end of it in its current form. Why would campaigns or delegates invest their time and money if they feel like endorsements are this precarious?
