I hope Minnesotans are ready for the level of anti-trans sports ads we’re going to be swimming in this fall. It wasn’t an accident that Riley Gaines flew in *here* to hang with Senate candidate Michelle Tafoya for the Lynx game. Let’s show up for inclusion on the court and at the ballot box.
This is just TERF bullshit. hey @mattprivratsky.bsky.social @amberrl.bsky.social and @tpqrs.bsky.social, y'all are following Meg here, and she's directly engaged in transphobia here. "He Cheated" is TERF propaganda.
Cheryl Reeves is correct (as usual).
Cassidy HettesheimerCheryl Reeve’s shirt today:
utterly verklempt seeing my fellow Minnesotans defend my community at the game today. It's a visibility thing - y'all showed up and showed out. Thank you.
charlieIt’s a bad day to be a transphobe! #LosLynx
The thing about Chery's shirt: it's not just a response to transphobes."Trans Kids Belong" is a significantly different stance than "protect trans kids." It side-steps transphobe's appropriation of "protect trans kids" & it's anti-adultist/non-paternalistic. It centers trans kids as trans kids.✊🏼
i cannot believe amy klobuchar isn't mentioning the impact this railroad crossing has on students. i grew up north of it and went to high school south of it at camden, and would regularly see kids hopping moving trains but she has no words for them, only "drivers trying to get across being delayed"?
Amy KlobucharWhen Minneapolis Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw and I saw each other at a Prince celebration (where all good things happen), we ended up talking about how we could make the Camden railroad crossing safer. Frequent train blockages delay first responders, drivers, and pedestrians trying to get across.
The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.
The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced LaborThe lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.futurism.com
We’ve got just over a week until the August 11th primary. My commitment is to every person in Hennepin County, regardless of class, creed, or status. Let’s win this! 💪🏾
Barney Frank spent his last days complaining about trans people. Don't be this miserable dickhead. Support trans people. Live your life unbothered.
Ben CollinsOne of my favorite things recently is James Carville FaceTiming into centrist festivals from his death bed with no recline to complain about any Democrat under the age of 60. Invariably his corpse winds up on Fox News. Master of communications right here.
The first game of the Women's Professional Baseball League is today! The Los Angeles Queens are facing off against the New York Heights. You can watch on ESPN Select or on YouTube from outside the US (or w/ a VPN).
Hi all! Something I forgot to share from this last week that’s super exciting. Last Sunday, I was elected as the Co-Chair of the DFL Outreach and Inclusion Committee, serving alongside our State Outreach and Inclusion Officer @quentinocama.bsky.social
a republican congressman allegedly broke his two-year-old daughter's collarbone and he somehow hasn't been run out of congress. there really is no bridge too far for these ghouls.
‘Platner on steroids’: Max Miller abuse claims have Republicans silently sweatingThe Ohio lawmaker denies the allegations as an Aug. 5 deadline to drop off the ballot approaches.www.politico.comThis is a fucking horrifying way to speak about fellow human beings, and it's why I reject Gov. Andy Bashear's framing that we need to go back to using terms "normal people" use. Language shapes reality. How you talk about your fellow humans MATTERS.
Michael HobbesIt was inevitable that reactionary centrists would turn against harm reduction and call for a return to mass incarceration
A Virginia developer wants to redevelop the old Star Tribune printing plan into a data center in North Loop. This is on a 13-acre site by the river. This is exactly why CM @aurinmpls.bsky.social & I authored a data center moratorium & we were told to not worry. 1/ www.startribune.com/data-center-...

There are a lot of very talented people who are either laid off from Big Tech or are disgusted with it and I know it’s a pay cut but state and local governments could really use some help right now, I’m just saying
Ian Coldwater 🧊🚫Are the other 6+ states who were attacked behind the attacks on their water systems too?
Dex, like many others, taught me that our wing is full of folks happy to see new faces and willing to teach me how to navigate its labyrinth of committees. I hope he called to listen to them and their fight for a more open party that fights for trans rights. I'm so proud to call them a friend.
Dex Andersonme a year ago: "wait, who does what in the DFL? The CBR what?" me now: "whoops I just accidentally screened a call from the head of the DNC."
