Mamdani: "What are we fighting for?. When you look back at the history books of our party, 100 years ago we had a very clear vision of what we were fighting for. It's sad that for too many Americans, when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, then have to turn to a history book."

Where do I get this sub

First to ever rhyme eight with late, look it up

I worked the COVID hotels in Hennepin County that used the same model - it works and I find it infuriating that it ended

That's from Maimonides - a Jewish physician and philosopher writing ~800 years ago. He called it a ladder of giving. His argument: motive matters more than amount, and the goal of charity should be making itself unnecessary.

Centuries later it cuts deeper than this influencer junk. Good on StP

To rank all the ways to give to those in need - from worst to best:

Giving grudgingly
Less than you should
Only after being asked
Before being asked
Donor doesn't know recipient
Recipient doesn't know giver
Fully anonymous
Helping someone rise above

The highest form of giving is dignity.

Here's a reminder: fruit and vegetables are fruit and vegetables. Canned, frozen, fresh, whatever you can afford, and whatever is easiest for you to consume is ok. Don't let the internet make nutrition complicated. ♡ #nourishyourbody

IMHO, we need more people comfortable with death and dying to support others. Especially in the US, we have such a foreign relationship with it and secret this essential and painful part of life away.

Two volunteers at Como Park with signature collection forms

Our team has been out and about collecting signatures across Saint Paul! From Como Park to the No Kings rally, we've been talking to our neighbors about the importance of ensuring renters have timely, quality repairs for their homes.

Pfft you haven't even seen St Paul night life til you're hanging with the boys at the Snelling ave station

Me: Onion rings and a bottle of wine for the table
waiter: white or red?

Me, trying to impress my date: whichever onion the chef prefers

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

Fortunately, there was an antidote at all

Taylor is a personal friend, but I also really admire her boots-on-the-ground work as a 100% independent journalist. She pairs deep local knowledge and context with genuine curiousness in a rare way. Her report on a day in immigration court is a must read. Some of the details will floor you

Oh and engage your core. We're old as shit now and it sucks to pull your back

Actually this is incredibly good for you and you should keep doing it. Just make sure to work opposite groups (curls and standing rows) with the dumbbells.

All power to the swoletatiat 💪

Yeah I'm the opposite - grew up in the cold so now I refuse the cold indoors. 72 in winter, 78 in summer.

Alright, my old running watch is finally dying and I can't fix it with a new battery like last time. Just lost my second long run in a week to a boot loop.

#running bluesky, help me out! I need something that can pair on the back end to Strava, and collects heart rate. Whatcha think?

What about our noble Senate office building? Hmm?!

All right, so those look like they've stained the hardwood.

You're going to want to start with a small piece of sandpaper and an inconspicuous spot. Work your way down to where the stain is gone. After that, you'll know how deep you'll have to go when you're resand the room.

Don't forget Ozempig 🫠

Been reading the Narnia series (just finished book 4) to my daughter, my rankings:

1. Lion, Witch & the Wardrobe
- I don't see the Jesus allegory?

2. Prince Caspian
- gangs back for 1 more job

3. The Magician's Nephew
- fabulous origin myth

4. A Horse and his Boy
- Edward Said def hated this one

The idea that poor people don't deserve to have good, nutritious, and delicious food is pure classism and is a desire to deprive every last opportunity for joy from the lives of people struggling to get by.
