#2: I'd bet good money that, behind the scenes, Amy Klobuchar was orchestrating & approving this cave-in. Like Chuck Schumer, she didn't vote for it, (They only needed 8 votes and had them.) but she was part of the group that had been planning this for a few weeks. Amy acts centrist; votes rightward

Note to fellow Boomers in Minneapolis upset about the Senate Democrats caving yet again:
#1: This is precisely why The Youngs have embraced the DSA and why you should the same. Or at least quit demonizing young Dems who are looking for big change. The DSA caucus is the future.

A reminder that if you’re thinking about Edmund Fitzgerald to also imagine the at least 10k fully preserved bodies floating in the giant space belly of Lady Lake Superior.
My body: Go to sleep.
My brain: Not now, honey, I have to learn about about the more than 10,000 preserved dead bodies are floating in the depths of Lake Superior like it’s outer space. www.unboundroots.com/lake-superio...

Lake Superior: A Watery Graveyard
Lake Superior is home to hundreds of sunken ships on its cold, dark, rocky bottom. Are ships the only victims lying in this watery graveyard?

I am retaining water, which has never been a thing for me, so I just thought my face was sort of puffy because I am tired.
Anyone have any experience with this? What caused it? How did you address it?
It’s not super obvious, but for me it is definitely noticeable?

I will be at a three-day race equity conference next week and I am already pre-tired from the anxiety I have around engaging with humans for three days!
I am sure it will be fantastic and the human connections right now are so needed.
But as a home body my body is already tired 😴

Sure, I am a “helpless sleeping person with insensitive skin,” but the thing that will make me throw you to the moon is this list telling me what do.

I was *just now* years old when I realized I have been saying “Well, at least St. Paul had a gay Black mayor” and not only is that *not true* but no one corrected me?

Does anyone know if or what MPS is planning to do with the free breakfasts and lunches if MFT strikes next week?
With SNAP frozen, it’s going to be a double-hit for so many families if the free school meals disappear.
Will every MPS have the meals available? Anyone know?

One thing that stuck out to me this summer in the mayoral race was from a conversation I had with a handful of young-ish Somali men.
They said they preferred Frey bc he was “done so much for them,” and that Fateh “wasn’t from here.”
He isn’t “Minnesotan Somali.”

Do you think the helicopter is where Frey is celebrating his “win” with his cop buddies Downtown Council basically paid to be his only friends?

Complicity of liberal institutions with the crackdown on student protest paved the way for the crisis of academia. To defend our work we must sever the link with the security state. Come join us at U of C tomorrow, where we will discuss how to confront the hiring of the inveterate liar John Kirby.

Tell your friends and family: A vote for Jacob Frey is a vote for Mitt Romney.
Then again, that’s probably what most of them want anyway. To be “progressive” only in the most myopic, unimaginative, status quo ways.

The thing about Halloween is you can’t always tell whether someone is in a costume, whether they just have a particular style or fashion choice, or whether they are a actually a narc and also maybe one or both of the above.

The Bare Bones performance at Powderhorn Park tonight was absolutely phenomenal. I didn’t know I was still capable of being absolutely floored by art in this way—it was emotionally, visually, sonically perfect and profound.
I was bawling during the honoring of the lives lost.
