Robert and Cody Johnston sit down to read Ben Shapiro's latest non-fiction book, which seems to be based entirely on him not understanding how lions work.

I’m opposed to child labor EXCEPT when it gets my entire filthy car cleaned out—with everything sorted into trash vs. recycle—for the low low price of “this is a toonie, it’s Canada money, and you can keep all the pop tabs from cans you find” plus an explanation of what Canada is.

I can’t believe I have to point this out but the “affirmative action and inclusion statement” regurgitated at every DFL internal election DOES NOT mean “TERFs, Republicans, and reactionary ***** should fill our leadership roles in proportion to their prevalence in Minnesota as a whole.”
A copy paste of the affirmative action, outreach, and inclusion statements from the official DFL documents: The following Affirmative Action, Outreach, and Inclusion Statement is to be read at the beginning of precinct caucuses, party conventions, and other meetings where elections or nominations occur: AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, OUTREACH, AND INCLUSION STATEMENT The DFL seeks to end discrimination and bigotry in all its forms and to inspire broad participation in our party. As part of our commitment to outreach and inclusion, we will take affirmative steps to increase the participation of members of all underrepresented communities. When you vote today, remember this commitment includes electing members of underrepresented communities both to positions within the DFL party and to public office. After the Affirmative Action, Outreach, and Inclusion Statement has been read, the Affirmative Action, Outreach, and Inclusion Reminder is read in lieu of the full Affirmative Action, Outreach, and Inclusion Statement before voting begins in each election. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, OUTREACH, AND INCLUSION REMINDER As you vote today, remember that the DFL is committed to electing members of underrepresented communities both to positions within the DFL party and to public office.

This is the kind of experience that I was referring to when I told Richard Carlbom (back during his pre-coronation “listening tour”) that I feel I can no longer in good conscience suggest that young people who want to organize for a better city/state/world consider getting involved in the DFL.
dexanderson.com Dex Anderson @dexanderson.com · Sep 10
My statement on tonight's DFL Feminist Caucus Annual Meeting. This statement is being emailed to the Feminist Caucus Chair, Alicia Gibson, and to the State DFL Chair, Richard Carlbom.

This caucus should be ashamed of itself.
Tonight, I attended my first and last DFL Feminist Caucus meeting. As someone who did not come by my feminism through how I was raised, but rather fought my way through to live as the gender I am and to exist as a non-binary person in this world, I found the experience to be demeaning, demoralizing, and actively anti-feminist. If being a feminist in the DFL means caucusing with this group, count me out. My pronouns are very simple and yet the caucus chairs and caucus leadership could not get them correct, despite being repeatedly reminded and corrected at every single opportunity. However, they could suddenly use the singular “they” when it came to my fellow caucus member who happened to be a trans woman, despite her repeatedly giving her pronouns as she/her. This was just the beginning. It was clear from the start that no one leading this meeting understood Robert’s Rules, and very clearly wanted to vote for their friends and be done with it. At the very beginning, an illegal motion was made to just adopt an entire slate of leadership, despite there being challengers to those positions known to the caucus. For me, however, the most hurtful thing was that despite repeatedly affirming that underrepresented people should run for caucus office, should be prioritized in the process, no trans or non-binary people were represented in any of the caucus leadership, much less respected in the meeting. My pronouns - they/them - were clearly seen as an inconvenience, met with eyerolls and annoyance whenever I corrected people. At one point, one of the newly elected caucus leadership claimed her pronouns are “Black Queen,” a clear mockery of the process of asking for pronouns altogether. Does this reflect DFL values? To mock a non-binary person whose community is under direct attack from the president himself? To refuse to use a person’s proper pronouns so repeatedly and without care that I had to make a SIGN with them on it for the meeting? It wasn’t as though my pronouns were a surprise. I sent in my statement of intent to run for Vice Chair the day before the meeting and it was sent out to all members. I identified my pronouns in that statement. And yet, they were ignored. The DFL Feminist Caucus is anything but. I resign my membership.

Strib screenshot of stmt from Fateh campaign re DFL CBRC revoking endorsement: Fateh campaign says, 'We're going to win' 3:30 p.m. - Omar Fateh's co-campaign manager Graham Faulkner said in a statement Thursday that "28 mostly out-state, establishment Democrats, including many Frey donors and supporters, met privately and voted to overturn the will of Minneapolis residents." "Our campaign sees this for what it is: disenfranchisement of thousands of Minneapolis caucus-goers and the delegates who represented all of us on convention day. The establishment is threatened by our message. They are scared of a politics that really stands up to corporate interests and with our working class neighbors," he said. Faulkner said the revoked endorsement will not slow Fateh's campaign down: "We're going to win."

My opponent endorsed a Mayoral candidate with views that are out of touch with NE Minneapolis. Based on my conversations with Ward 1 residents, they want common sense solutions to housing, transportation & public safety issues.

Josh Martin is one of the most measured, logical, organized, and non-reactionary people I have ever met. If you’re getting publicly dragged by Josh Martin, you have unambiguously fucked up very badly and your fuckups are extensively documented.

We normally don't air our dirty laundry at the DFL. But since Conrad is a candidate for public office, and now that the conventions are over, I feel it's important to let you all know that Conrad is not fit for leadership. He will never receive my vote again, for public office or DFL office.

The fact that Halal and Kosher meals are over $55 each (!!!), you cannot bring in outside food, and the rest of meals having arena pricing ($15+ each) makes this super inaccessible. This is going to exclude so many folks.

Donald Trump walked into the GOP tent and shit his pants like that’s a completely normal thing to do past the age of 3.

Republicans were like
“wow, what an edgy thing to do in public with no shame whatsoever!” and surprisingly few of them got the fuck out of the tent at that point.

In a democracy, public officials—including police—are accountable to the people. Hiding identities shields them from scrutiny and undermines this principle.

The request for people to stop shouting from the floor has worked, kind of, but a convention volunteer is pointing out people and telling them to go to the mic. Very punk rock.

Thank you to the bemused @mprnews.org audience services phone guy who answered my call asking if the host *really* just said that the woodpecker attacking cars in Mass. might just be “a little stupid.”

SHE TOTALLY DID but it was a quote from a birdologist so I guess it’s a legit explanation?
Screenshot of online news story text, with “she said the woodpecker might be ‘a little stupid’” highlighted yellow: Given their enormous size, piliated woodpeckers are plenty strong enough to break mirrors, but such behavior is "definitely weird," said Pamela Hunt, senior biologist for avian conservation at the New Hampshire Audubon. “Lots of birds will be aggressive against reflections in mirrors, but I don't usually hear about woodpeckers," she said. "They don't usually peck at their opponents, they kind of chase them around." She said the woodpecker might be "a little stupid" and is trying to defend its territory and scare away what it sees as competition. The damage coincides with the mating season for pileated woodpeckers and resident Barbara Smith said she'd be fine with "lots of little woodpeckers" around, though she hopes they won't be as destructive. "Woodpeckers have to do what woodpeckers do," she said. "Good luck, woodpecker."
