Hi Minnesotan Bluesky:
The DFL has a well-known transphobia problem. I'm organizing to change the party platform in 2026 to be explicitly supportive of trans people in Minnesota. This will provide a basis for expelling transphobia from our party.

I had a meeting on Thursday about moving off our current faxing application on to one in the cloud. I asked the obviously idiotic question of “but what if we just didn’t accept faxes anymore?” and everyone was like “impossible!”
Anyways, I’ve done all these things.

While it isn’t impossible, not having a federal direct file makes it difficult for states to have their own, including Minnesota.
Yet another way Trump is screwing working families: this was a FREE tool we set up so folks could file taxes directly, without paying an expensive service. So who does cancelling it benefit? The answer is not working Americans, but it sure is big corporations who profit off them.
IRS to States: Direct File Tool Is a No-Go for Next Tax Season
The IRS told its state partners this week that the Biden-era Direct File tool won’t be offered for the 2026 tax filing season.

The University of Minnesota just announced the "Meal-A-Day Program" which will provide one meal a day for SNAP benefit recipients while the SNAP program is limited or unavailable. This makes me very happy. A lot of students, faculty, and staff at the U need this, unfortunately.

I just spent another hour+ on phone with Xcel, trying to get them to apply the appropriate winter electric rate for our heat-pump heated house with high-efficiency boiler backup. Xcel never responded to the *three* letters from the MN AG office on my behalf. Any reporters want to talk about this?!
If you've installed a heat pump (or have electric baseboard heat or similar) in Xcel's territory in Minnesota, make sure you're on the residential space heating rate - it's more than 40% cheaper than the normal wintertime residential rate.

In a parent Facebook group someone asks are there any good restaurants in walking distance to the Children's Theater and the answers were all "no, nothing in walking distance." It is THREE blocks to Eat Street, how close does something need to be to be walking distance? Fucking suburban moms...

Too much coughing/sickness to go trick-or-treating. It’s a bummer. We’ve got lights on, but it’s unlikely any kids show up. Thinking I may just go put my PJs on.

Preschool decided to not split up the rest of the year into winter and spring and just do one mega session for which I just got the bill. We have VERY inexpensive preschool through the Minneapolis Parks, but charging for January-May all at once is shocking. 🤯

Breaking News: The U.S. military accepted a private donation of $130 million to help pay troops during the shutdown. The move is highly unusual and a potential violation of federal law.
Trump to Use $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops
It is not clear how far the gift will go toward covering the salaries of the nation’s 1.3 million troops.
