Good morning, and happy Monday! ☕️ So… what did y’all do this weekend? I turned another corner of my backyard into a place I actually want to sit and stay awhile. A little brick, a little fire, a whole lot of moving dirt—and a bench that accidentally became a pretty damn good table. 😂

I love listening to Elissa Slotkin talk. There’s an intelligence, focus and seriousness about her that just grabs me. She knows what she’s talking about, she doesn’t waste words, and paired with Chris Hayes, this is one hell of a conversation. Yep. That’s the post.

I just love Rahm Emanuel. No dancing around the point. No carefully polished political mush. He knows how politics works, he knows how to throw a punch, and he knows when Democrats need to quit playing defense.

Whatever you think of Iran, it’s worth asking: Who is actually putting a plan on the table to end this mess?

I found a phone recording from Nov. 19, 2025—Mark and me sitting around my house, making up a song, arguing about blues theory, laughing, and just letting it happen. No AI wrote this music. No AI wrote the words.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how easily we let somebody else decide what we meant, what we need, where we belong, and what our lives are worth. So I wrote a song about it.

Heh. This was definitely a “moment.”

Mark Elias bringing the 🔥🔥 I clipped this because it’s worth hearing. The Supreme Court just blocked the administration’s mail-ballot rules for 2026. Elias explains what he thinks comes next—and why the time to pay attention is NOW. Watch this. (@marcelias.bsky.social)

A great trip to Shoreview Natives in Two Harbors, where Jen helped me put it together. Turned the bare patch beside my porch into the beginnings of a native pollinator garden. Under $100, lots of plants, and already in the ground! #twoharbors #minnesota #ShoreviewNatives

Anyone else got this uneasy feeling regarding tomorrow?

Look at the jerseys. Carney’s says “Canada.” Trump’s says “Trump.” Not “USA.” Not “America.” “Trump.” And he calls Canada’s PM “Governor.” The symbolism isn’t subtle: Canada represents a country. Trump represents himself.

Five minutes. That’s how far I got into today’s 36-minute episode of The Briefing with Jen Psaki on MS NOW before I had to pause and say: HALLELUJAH. 😂 Jen Psaki is on FIRE today.

Anyway, good morning, America. The coffee’s hot. The Constitution is still warm. The news is completely fucking insane. And somehow we’re all still here. So grab your coffee, keep your sense of humor, and resist responsibly. Class dismissed. 😂

Gooooooood morning, Vietnam— Wait. Sorry. Wrong war. These days I’m not entirely sure what country I’m waking up in. 😂 Good morning, fellow resistors. Stay curious. Stay loud. Stay kind. And for God’s sake, keep your map handy.

And somewhere up there, I suspect Robin Williams is looking down at us thinking: “Well… this oughta make for an interesting morning broadcast.” So here we are. Coffee in hand. News turned up. Democracy still breathing. Let’s get to work.

Here’s the thing about America: We can survive disagreement. We can survive criticism. Hell, we can even survive bad presidents. What we cannot afford to lose is the ability to laugh, question, argue, investigate, and tell the truth without asking permission. That’s the good stuff.

Meanwhile, somewhere in America: “Sir, the press is asking questions.” “Make them stop.” “But sir, that’s kind of what the press does.” “Then rename them.” 😂 Good morning, America. Keep asking questions.

Lake Ontario is apparently having an identity crisis. The Gulf of Mexico already got a makeover. I’m just wondering when they’re going to get around to renaming the United States. “Trumpistan” has already been taken. Suggestions welcome.

Chris in Minnesota @replicantwolf.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Today’s forecast: 100% chance of somebody renaming something. Bring an umbrella. And your birth certificate. And apparently a map. Because at this point I’m afraid to ask what anything is called anymore.

Chris in Minnesota @replicantwolf.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Gooooooood morning, resistors! It’s another beautiful day in America, where the coffee is hot, the news is hotter, and apparently we’re running out of geographical features that haven’t been renamed yet. Wake up, America. We have apparently misplaced the manual.

There are lines that cannot become options simply because the president is angry enough to say them. And “wipe out a civilization” should be one of those lines.

5:15 AM. Coffee. Morning news. Barefoot. And Lucy is laying between my legs, getting her morning scratches… from my FOOT. 😂 Some dogs might object: “Excuse me, human. You have HANDS.” But Lucy seems perfectly happy. I’m not ambidextrous. I’m quadridextrous. 🐾☕️

I caught a little detail in yesterday’s Trump photo: French cuffs. Then I noticed the cufflinks. I used to wear French cuffs, so I know what I’m looking at. Not making any accusations or assumptions… But damn, those are some interesting cufflinks. 👀

Happy Monday, everybody! Hope you had a good weekend. Mine involved some mental therapy: buying wood and building a porch onto my backyard shelter. It’s not finished yet, but it’s becoming exactly what I needed—place for the dogs, guitar, occasionally just sitting there doing absolutely nothing. 🪵🎸🐕

Okay, Blue Wave people… I may have accidentally written the surf song for the 2026 midterms. 🌊 It sounds innocent at first. Then you hear the lyrics. Oh. THAT blue wave. 😂 Grab your board and ride! #BlueWave #Midterms2026
