See now that wasn’t hard. I’m pretty sure Steph White could have come up with something similar if Fever PR didn’t muzzle her.

Honestly did not expect Commissioner Fernando to go on Wedge Live. So glad she did!
Wedge LIVE!™My conversation with Irene Fernando is out now, wherever podcasts are found. In this clip we talk about what's motivating her to return for a third and final term on the Hennepin County Board, especially when the job can be so emotionally grueling and the political landscape is so grim.
Here’s what we do. Got a trans-supportive shirt/sign/whatever? Wear/bring it to Target Center on Sunday. Don’t have game tix? Quietly/visibly chill outside the arena pregame. Spread out. Don’t engage those people, tho. Just be there. If you’re media, ask about it. Ask Cheryl, at least. 1/2
Alejandra CaraballoOh, so those girls at the Seattle Storm game were being obnoxious the entire time trying to provoke people and filming the reactions for content. Of course.
Tuck this away for when the Wolves/Lynx come asking. Do stadiums generate economic activity? Yes. Does a new stadium generate economic activity that otherwise wouldn’t occur? No. Do stadiums generate enough economic activity to pay back public $$$ usually given to the owners to build it? Nope!
J.C. BradburyI wrote up a primer on the economic impact of stadiums, targeted to policymakers and journalists. Feel free to pass along. jcbradbury.com/stadium-econ...
I finally got to swag surf at a game! Love Target Center but Minneapolis is not a swag surf kind of city…

Keep stepping on that rake, Angie. I have no direct knowledge of the situation, but Sen Hoffman didn’t have to tell that story, he could’ve just endorsed Peggy with plenty of good reasons to do so and kept it moving, but I’m guessing Angie keeps giving him new reasons to be irked.
ash 🏳️⚧️senator hoffman has released a new statement regarding angie craig’s actions towards him, released via EMQ’s Facebook: she is so cooked
It’s remarkable how much Angie has pissed away all the “she’s not perfect but I understand what it takes to win in that district and I support it” good will with her own actual campaigning choices.
taylrminnesota state senator john hoffman revealed tonight at the peggy flanagan rally in st. paul that angie craig asked him for his endorsement for US senate while he was still in the ICU after vance boelter shot him really appalling anecdote!
I hate to keep giving this transphobe any attention, but I’m def gonna have to read this one.
