Wait… I’m just learning now that many people call potatoes “SPUDS” so, I guess maybe DEVO already got theirs?
It’s awesome that Prince has a potato in his honor, but WHAT ABOUT DEVO? Is there no DEVO potato?!?

We just packed up hundreds of whistles for trainings in heavily immigrant communities this week.

Help us out via Venmo, or by placing an order via DM
We are committed to cost not being a barrier, especially to our most impacted communities - but we need your help.

Can you help us cover the costs? Venmo @mspwhistles

I am going to say this only once but fuck these white racists. Fuck them to hell.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said that Muslims are a “threat to our freedom” on Tuesday as he targeted the largest Muslim civil rights organization in the U.S. with a foreign terrorist organization label in an escalation of a movement of anti-Muslim hate in the state.
Abbott Says Muslims Are “Threat to Our Freedom” as He Targets Civil Rights Group With Terrorist Designation
Governors do not have the authority to designate groups as a foreign terrorist organization.

One of my top goals in posting is to save my future self from ever being able to run for public office.
Another is to battle against the concept of a personal “brand.”
If you were running for public office which of your tweets/skeets would be the one to tank your candidacy?

Designing a country around cars was a stupid idea, but Minneapolis since 2020/21 seems especially bad.

My perspective (if it’s worth anything):

Fateh’s the reason my boyfriend can go to college. The North Star Promise is one of the most transformational pieces of legislation at the state level in the country, and I know enough inside baseball to know it wouldn’t have happened without him
