True blue in the Twin Cities. Owned by 2 Labradors. Kindness is an act of resistance, and so is a well-placed F-bomb. If you’re pushing crypto religion, go back to X. 🧶🦮🐕🦺👩🏻🍳🦆☕️🥃

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

I heard that there was an earlier version of the Bible where the forbidden fruit was a vegetable but they had to change it because no one wanted to eat vegetables. They taste so frigging bad Adam and Eve wouldn't eat vegetables even if it did give them the knowledge of good and evil.

Women are watching abusive dynamics play out on the national stage and for many it feels very, very familiar to what they’ve experienced regularly—

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

Sanford grandfather, born in refugee camp, nabbed by ICE after 70 years in U.S.
Paul Bojerski never gained official residency, but he checked in regularly with ICE for years. Then in July, at age 79, he was detained and sent to Alligator Alcatraz.

I could barely stand to listen to Trump address military brass yesterday. It was triggering. He sounded like an abuser.
You can laugh if you want to. You can clap if you want to. You can leave if you want to, but you’ll lose your rank.
I’m positive every woman recognized that language.

The real issue isn’t left vs right.
It’s not white vs black.
It’s not citizen vs immigrant.
It’s not gay vs straight.
The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

Sometimes, I am absolutely shaken that important morning news airtime is devoted to covering pickleball while the White House is creating concentration camps, an oligarchy, a police state and fascism all around us. Shook. He’s killing us, but look at that pickleball.

I’m not a strategist, but I have been involved in GOP-dominated state politics for about a decade now.
We can’t squeeze another blue vote out of Kansas City or St. Louis or Springfield. Democrats need to go into rural spaces and start organizing Democrats in those spaces.

Dem Party: We are spending $20M to figure out how to talk to male voters.
Mamdani: Save your money. I have +45 favorability with male voters & +73 with men under 45. Endorse me.
Dem Party: No way dude. Now—why is our favorability is -54? Let's spend $20M on wealthy consultants to figure it out!

Today, the Environmental Protection Agency announced it will shut down its Office of Research and Development and eliminate thousands of agency jobs. According to the agency, this office has long served as the scientific backbone of its efforts to protect both public health and the environment.

If the Epstein files were actually finally released in full, it would not matter. We already know what’s in there. We already know WHO is in there. The victims would not get justice. The criminals would not be held accountable. The cult would close their eyes and ears as required.
