And why exactly is the sex at birth, as opposed to their sex now, at all relevant to identifying, say, a fifty year old woman on DOCUMENTS THAT IDENTIFY HER.
I had blue eyes at birth. You know what my driver’s license says? Hazel. Because they changed, and one is useless for identifying me.

Minneapolis deserves a mayor who will work for every part of our city, one who will focus on outcomes, not promises. We deserve a mayor with vision, one who will work cooperatively with everyone, even if we sometimes disagree.
Here’s some of what I hope we can work on – together.

Legitimately mad about this. Lots of people in Ward 10 want to vote for the candidate who support alternative transportation. Lydia Millard should stop lying to voters about being a bike advocate. She has very explicitly campaigned against bike, pedestrian, and transit infrastructure.

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

If nothing else I find it obscene to turn governmental agencies that are meant to function as institutions in service of the entire American political community into overtly partisan propaganda mouthpieces.
It’s just such a visceral degeneration of civic life it drives me insane.

The president of the United States has said *multiole times* that he hates Americans who are democrats. That is a FUCKING HUGE SCANDAL. Nobody will treat it as one.
this white house actively treats a large swath of americans as disloyal and outside the political community and it doesn’t merit so much as a peep from the political press

More CDC Cuts :: NCHS Edition 📊🔫
At least 1/3 of the staff at the National Center for Health Statistics has been cut (and remain cut). This is catastrophic for our nation’s health data.
Say goodbye to national health statistics that you can trust, healthcare surveys, NHANES and data systems.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.
A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.
We need to stand up together and speak up.

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.
Guys. I just had a crazy idea. What if the President DIDN’T deploy troops in American cities. Just a thought. Have we tried that before?

Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.
