I was.
I'm going to get up and eat.
You're good to check.

Note to Democrats: Stop punching left. The left is fighting mad and the words we use are "Fuck ICE" and "IMPEACH" and "SHUT IT ALL DOWN." Maybe you'd get somewhere if you used those words, too.

I will not have a panic attack before taking aged mother to the airport.

So, if folks haven’t seen, Minnesota once again won in court against a group trying to stop trans athletes from playing in our state.

In some ways the win is very technical - so I don’t think it predicts outcomes for other Title IX cases; but it’s important nonetheless.

Let’s dig in. 🧵

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

It was about 44 degrees as these shackled detainees were loaded onto today's ICE Air flight in the pouring rain at MSP.

Healthcare is a right.

You shouldn’t have to earn it.

It shouldn’t be dependent on employment or economic status.

It shouldn’t be something you have to fight for.

It shouldn’t be something that leaves you in debt for life.

Universal healthcare saves lives.

Drop your crime-fighting Catholics.

A VCR never sold my private info to a nazi

My white dog with black spots looking almost like she is going to smooch this kissy faced white koi that also has black spots. The koi is coming to the surface and Penny is pulling g at the leash leaning over this shallow concrete rim to a koi pond at the Biltmore estate.

Spots recognize spots.

Liz Lemon from 30 Rock saying “Jack, just say Jewish, this is taking forever”

i think folks might be unfamiliar with "the pharisees", so let's make it clear: he's saying the jews run the press, and that they are conspiring to undermine the military. it's not just antisemitism, it's indistinguishable from nazism.

Book display called “who’s mentioned in the Epstein files? Find them here.” And it’s books by or about Trump, Melania, Oz, Woody, and so on

Currently in display at Minneapolis central library. You love to see it.

Vought also promoted this lie during his testimony this week. The whole administration is committed to the idea that everyone who has lost their healthcare is committing fraud or an illegal immigrant. Those are not the facts on the ground.

The New York Times is now blocking The Wayback Machine from accessing its articles.

That means you'll no longer be able to view archived versions of NYT stories published in 2026 and beyond on archive.org.

(All those posts you see tracking changes to NYT headlines and ledes? They relied on WBM).

Life Link copter just went over my neighb on its way to HCMC from Willmar. HCMC cannot close bc the entire state needs it.

Twin metals,

When Minnesota says “we don’t plan to let you do that”

Listen.

This bill is America Last.

Copper ore will be mined from Minnesota, shipped to state-owned Chinese companies for smelting, and sold to the highest bidder on the global market.

Republicans sold out the American people to benefit foreign corporate interests.

ICE agent charged with two felonies for pointing his gun at motorists during Operation Metro Surge Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said a nationwide warrant has been issued in the first criminal charges against an ICE agent for on-duty actions during the surge.

I'm back in.

Nothing like the cortisol flood when you think you might lose years of text threads (photos are all backed up).

I'm going to have a ginger ale and watch some gay hockey to reset my levels.

After all the special security pin talk, it just wanted the fucking lockscreen pin.
I'm back in.

No one can reach me by phone. I pressed restart and my phone asked for a pin (doesn’t usually) my reg didn’t work, then tried the pin friend who gave me phone usually uses…nope.

It says 8 tries and it will factory reset and I lose everything.

FUCK

A floral snapshot of garden and hedgerow flowers in April

Purple, blue and maybe garden flowers in April

Autistic burnout* & depression burgle much of my mental energy at the moment, hence my absence around here, but it's the loveliest time for garden & hedgerow flowers-cowslips, forget me nots, apple blossom, the emergence of brimstone & orange tip butterflies & my favourite floral firework…1/2

Mine said 30+ new notifications and then didn't show any.

Mamdani: When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich

Well, today we're taxing the rich...

Remember this, though: Amazon has calculated that poisoning water & making restitution payouts for sickness & even death is CHEAPER than whatever they plan to make on the Data Center.

They’re STILL gambling with human lives with impunity.
