Panthor is a black cat.

I couldn't agree more. I'm probably going to get disappeared for this, but whatevs. Just please take care of @postitthoughts.bsky.social for me if I ever get disappeared.

I also want to point out that $51K is more than a LOT of Minnesotans have to live on. And the legislators are freely admitting that a person can't live on $51K.

I only wear branded T-Shirts from @twintownguitars.bsky.social and THEY HAVE A NEW ONE!

minneapolis city planners didn't care about playgrounds downtown when they tore down the loring greenway playground with no plans to replace it

The NYT actually published a "that ship was no angel" article.

I love my job, but I fight the algorithms to tell people:

“Hey, don’t stare at the tornado, get in your basement” and “The only thing that destroys a 2008 Altima is driving it into 2 foot deep floodwater”

1/ Here's the trick about modern propaganda. It's not better arguments winning. It's better logistics. When the same claim hits you from dozens of accounts at once, your brain reads it as reality. Coordination beats content, every single time. Here's how #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

You know who else famously used paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups?

The Justice Department.

Middle Aisle: Does Minnesota really want citizen legislators? We say serving in the Legislature is a part-time job for 'normal' citizens, but then we ask legislators not to make typical human mistakes.

"The pay (currently $51,750) is low enough that many legislators need a second job, yet the logistics around holding outside employment are tight enough that only a small segment of Minnesotans can realistically make that work." www.minnpost.com/community-vo...

People are shitting on this because the lady in the article from shakopee probably isn’t actually going to use it, but hi, I’m a mom in northeast who has to drive to new Brighton and Shoreview and Blaine for indoor playgrounds and I’d use it.

Here at the Trylon we've decided that 2K digital projection is no longer enough for us. We're launching a campaign to raise funds for the installation of a 4K LASER projector this summer. If you'd like to lend a hand... trylon.org/4K

Scam messages offering ships safe transit through Hormuz, security firm warns Fraudulent messages promising safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for cryptocurrency have been sent to some shipping companies whose ​vessels are stranded west of the waterway, Greek...

“Fraudulent messages promising safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for cryptocurrency have been sent to some shipping companies... [A]t least one ​of the vessels, ⁠which tried to exit the strait on Saturday and was hit by gunfire, was a victim of the fraud.”

I see that Elizabeth Warren is trending so here's your annual reminder that Pocahontas was an abused, kidnapped, raped child who was murdered and she deserves more respect than for you to use her name as a punchline because you hate a white woman.

#LeaveMatoakaAlone

From my perspective as a Comanche woman, it looks like Warren is an average white woman from Oklahoma (no different from both Liberals & Conservatives) who is unaware and unconcerned of the impact of her behavior on actual Indigenous people because she thinks of us as a stereotype or a museum piece.

Ok, here's my downtown Minneapolis fever dream fantasy: we turn City Center into our version of City Museum (non-privatized), so we have a multi-generational play space. And the 2nd floor has free public bathrooms, free showers, nap space, hang out space, and lockers. Ooh, and a kitchen or two.

There Is Nothing “Qualified” About Qualified Immunity Once again, the Supreme Court twists itself into knots to extend legal protections to cops who kill.

You know the Supreme Court be playing fast and loose with the shadow docket but I'm telling you, qualified immunity cases? Some of the fastest and loosest

Let a lower court spell out why cops should stand trial, & the Supreme Court lifts it without explanation

CHRIS WRIGHT: What happens when the wind blows right now? We turn down natural gas plants and we save 2 cents in reduced natural gas price. We pay a 4 cent subsidy and save 2 cents

WYDEN: What you are describing is fiction

He only cared about ONE thing...how it looked on TV. Enough has been said regarding the impossible healing job...not enough said about the depravity it takes to kill your followers to make good television.

Well then!

Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-Calif.): If Erica Schwartz is confirmed as CDC director, "will you commit on the record today to implement whatever vaccine guidance she issues, without interference."

RFK: "I’m not going to make that kind of commitment."

"Because you probably won't. You’ll probably fire her."

ICE detained more than 70 Minnesota children, data reveals Immigration officials detained more than 70 Minnesota children between Dec. 1 and March 10, a Sahan analysis of court records and federal deportation data shows.
