Losing Diane Keaton and Rob Reiner and Catherine O'Hara in quick succession is a pretty big blow for people who enjoy elementary things such as "laughter" and "joy"

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Reporting for duty at -21 degrees. Fueled by boundless love for our neighbors and warmed by incandescent rage against evil. Let’s do this Minnesota. #ICEOUT #OnTheSideOfLove

Sleepless in St. Paul amid the 🧊occupation, thinking how food plays a role in resistance-i.e. 3 partner schools out east collaborated to send my husband’s school a catered lunch in solidarity as they prep for online learning for families who are unsafe because of OUR OWN GOVERNMENT. Such kindness ❤️‍🩹

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

My crop art entry at the 2025 #minnesotastatefair didn’t win any ribbons, but I love him so much! And yes, #pigglywiggly was the first self service grocery store in the US.

We have to stop talking about him as if he is he is a man who has the ability to understand diplomacy or military tactics….or anything else for that matter. He is a pathological narcissist with limited cognitive functioning. No one should discuss him with any other lens.

Musk and DOGE just shitcanned the 18F open source development team whose job is to make government more efficient. Because 🤪. This was never about efficiency.

GSA shutters 18F, possibly leaving agencies in the lurch
On early Saturday morning, the General Services Administration eliminated the program.

Nothing sinister about regular citizens putting in a shit ton of work to make a better, more just MN for all. Thanks to Tom for calling BS.

Hunter Here’s the reality. No USAtty would have charged this case given the underlying facts. After a 5 year investigation the facts as discovered only made that clear Had his name been Joe Smith the resolution would have been - fundamentally and more fairly - a declination Pardon warranted

Ask yourself a vastly more important question. Do you really think Kash Patel is qualified to lead the world’s preeminent law enforcement investigative organization? Obvious answer: hell no.

These cabinet announcements feel increasingly like the hunger games cannon announcing the death of yet another part of the federal government
