The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up.

Consolidating executive power, what could possibly go wrong? If only we had some kind of national example showing us why this is a bad idea, some way of learning from the mistakes of others. Oh well!

In this moment, when our civil rights are greatly threatened, the unelected Charter Commission is looking to remove democratically elected oversight from the equation, making it hard for your voice to be heard as a resident of Minneapolis.

"Lifelong Democrats" are collaborating with Republicans.

PSA: as people start to expect Iran War price spikes, please watch for businesses that add an “energy” or “inflation” fee to their bills. These junk fees are illegal in Minnesota.

Please report any to Attorney General @keithellison.bsky.social here:

The Machine didn't like how I reported a phishing attempt test, so REPORTING it got me automatically signed up for phishing training. Absurd.

Weird, because just yesterday Pope Leo said that God rejects prayers of leaders who wage wars. Huh.

what is alternative? forcing folks to enjoy the art of those who hurt them? THEY DONT LIKE IT. someone saying 'your choices harm me so i dont like your creations and i dont like you' is not offensive, it is the most basic use of human autonomy and it is SO bizarre when folks argue otherwise

Rowling: now now sssteve
Rowling: there actually iss an ethical way to watch harry potter
King: there is?
King: quick tell me!
Rowling: haven't you ever heard of
Rowling: death of the author?
King: oh, good point!
Poe: steve, she's alive
Poe: she's right here in front of you

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

King: yeah that makes sense
King: i mean, it's free, how much harm COULD that do?
Rowling: thatsss right sssteve

Next you'll be arguing that not all ICE agents are evil because some of them just see it as a means to put food on their table.

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

"the 26 years ago" awesome, yes, brilliant. The best time to edit is after posting, naturally. Sheesh.

A face swap of Michael Rainville's face on Tim Robinson's hungry hotdog eater characters from I Think You Should Leave, because you can't skip lunch.

It's weird to live in a time when everyone's crazy libertarian uncle from the 26 years ago is being proven right day after day about abuse of government power.

(don't worry, still a socialist)

yeah so I don’t think the choice we’re being offered is “pay the police to play Candy Crush or pay them to lock up your neighbors” it’s that this even *being a job* is a choice and we can unmake it at any time

I'm forced to pirate a book I already own four times over (my audiobook, spouse's audiobook from before we joined libraries, physical copy, digital copy) because of DRM issues. We're living in the least radical cyberpunk dystopia ever.

Much A-Dune About Nothing

these are death camps

Lysistrata: what if they threw a war and nobody came

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

remember how DFL uses influencers? they already had to drop one, off jawaggon, due to sexual assault. influencers are now taking money to attack kat abughazaleh

if you're in politics working with them, you're playing with fire. their allegiance is to their money only

If you're frustrated about the uncertainty of how much snow that we'll be getting in the next 36-48 hours please know that because of DOGE's budget cuts at NOAA there is a dead zone on the Western Great Plains where weather balloon launches have been cut and very little data is available

Mayor Frey can thank Minneapolis Public Housing Authority & affiliated nonprofit Community Housing Resources for 43 filings yesterday.
Significant bump in Mpls filings the past few days.

Approximate* Minneapolis eviction filings 3/1 thru 3/11:
2025: ~54
2026: ~237
A 339% increase compared to 2025.

Increasingly of the opinion that the correct answer to the Trolley Problem is "fuck you, why are you so fixated on finding reasons to justify killing people?"

You had me at "going to sell “all my homies hate jacob frey” shirts," and everything after that was a pleasant bonus.

I'd put money on it. Not a lot, but more than none.

Probably worth calling my Senators about this even though Amy K is almost certainly one of the 20

[Democrats, after "Abolish ICE" becomes a winning strategy]

I think people are going to enjoy the new Mr. ICE.

Moment of silence for Kristi Noem’s career
