You are afraid to go to Minneapolis because of the crimes. I am afraid of going to Minneapolis because I may accidentally find myself in one of the many shitty cowboy themed bars downtown. We are not the same.
If my choice is between
@IlhanMN
or someone who says he supports her policy ideas but takes a bunch of republican money and hires anti Choice people to work for him, I will pick Ilhan everytime.
Looking for all the Minnesota Republicans who have demanded Sen. Nicole Mitchell to step down to also tell Trump to drop out. After all, they are all known for ideological consistency and having strong core beliefs.
Richfield is much more than a city with a guy who lied about living in Minneapolis. We also have three Dairy Queens, two Aldis and many many roundabouts. Look beyond the news people.
On my way to knock another 50 doors for
@IlhanMN
. That will make 150 since the start of July. Make sure you are voting on or before Tuesday, August 13th.
Don’s main attacks on
@IlhanMN
are couched in misogyny about her being “divisive.”
Meanwhile, in describing Ilhan’s job performance, he said “You're not cute enough, you don't dress well enough, nothing about you is attractive enough..."
I still think it's weird that sanitation workers have to work today, considering MLK was murdered while in Memphis to support striking sanitation workers.
Shots were fired Wednesday evening inside an LA Fitness gym in Edina before the suspects fled the scene, police said. No arrests or victims were reported.
I have to be at Duluth Pride tomorrow for work. Rather than leaving my house very early in the morning, I came up today. I indulged in a room at the Fitger Inn. I am absolutely going to severely injure myself on these stairs in the middle of the night.
I ordered this on Sunday. It arrived yesterday. Really impressed by how quickly
@labornotes
got it here. I should have it read <looks at pile of books > in about 10 years.
I support unions because we’ve all had bad bosses, bad management, and bad workplaces. Unions are a way for workers to fix those problems or at least defend against the worst outcomes of them. Who can’t get behind that?
Rumor is that Charles Barkley will be live from the Frenchmans patio Wednesday and Friday. I look forward to blasting cigs and drinking Turbos with the entire TNT crew.
Got a phone call from D*n S*muels today. I was polite but very clear I will be supporting Ilhan D*n said he looks forward to being my next congressman. I told him I look forward to him enjoying his retirement. He admitted that was a good line.
☃️Light snow begins this evening after 6 PM. The most widespread snow will be along & north of I-94. On & off snow showers will continue into early tomorrow morning
⚠️Watch for slick spots & reduced visibility on the roads tonight & especially during the Tuesday morning commute

This. It has been weird to see so many city and county elected officials just come out and basically admit they have ignored their obligations to disabled, elderly, and low income constituents who are in need of transportation.
this is an admittance that we have inadequate public transportation for a major metropolitan area, not a case for Lyft and Uber to continue to exploit drivers
Some sad news: Due to tough 2023 fundraising & budgetary constraints, in order to ensure long-term sustainability of the org, we had to let go of 14 incredible members of the
@runforsomething
team.
@RossMoRock
& I explain:
@thequeengeek
Yes , what's being lost in all this is that the legislation didn't occur in a vacuum. This isn't a change the city council just randomly decided to make on its own.
On a different note, I will be taking the light rail to the Twins game shortly. It is likely that I will be murdered at least once on the way. If that happens, just know that I have enjoyed my time interacting with some of you on this app.
I was wearing my Ranked Choice Voting shirt in my local Caribou. A barista recognized me as a regular and said they love RCV. I said cool how do you feel about unions?They love unions just don't know how to start one. I just said we can talk sometime. Groundwork laid.
Starbucks workers at the St. Paul store on 300 Snelling Ave at the intersection of Snelling and Stanford Ave are voting to join the union today. Stop by and show
@MNSbuxUnited
@SBWorkersUnited
your support. They have donuts and and buttons.
Myself and my coworkers
@FairVoteMN
formed a union . Two hours into our first bargaining session we were told all the union employees were being laid off. Please read and sign the statement bellow. Union busting is disgusting.

So basically, locking the workers out. There is a rally for striking parks workers 4pm at the Minneapolis Park Board Headquarters 2117 West River Road. Show up and support the workers.
Stopped on my way home from my work event to support striking
@iatse745
@MnufcUnion
striking production/video workers. It's been 7 months since these workers formed a union with
@MNUFC
and still no contract.
At my union meeting this evening, I was officially sworn in as the
@NewsGuildMN
union 2nd vice president. I promise to be even more unsuferable about unions than I have been up to this point.
I have to be at Duluth Pride tomorrow for work. Rather than leaving my house very early in the morning, I came up today. I indulged in a room at the Fitger Inn. I am absolutely going to severely injure myself on these stairs in the middle of the night.
As local minor DFL party officer I want to be clear that the Governor does not speak for me. My neighbors do not bring weapons of war into a grieving community in order to immediate and escalate peaceful protests.
Let’s be clear: The brave men and women of the Minnesota National Guard are our neighbors.
They’re teachers, health care workers, and business owners who live in communities across our state.
This is unacceptable. They can’t “go home” — this is their home.
At the rally for union workers with the Minnesota Historical Society. They have been negotiating for a fair contract for six months. Tell the History Society that workers deserve a fair contract now.
I have no hot political takes. I knock on doors for hopefully the right candidates, walk picket lines with union friends, make little jokey jokes online, and drink Turbos while blasting cigs and watching The Simpsons on the Frenchmans Patio. That's all you will get from me.
After a break, Thompson says the FBI just said the bag contained $120,000 in cash. The judge has decided to keep the jury isolated from now on. A U.S. marshal will stay in the courtroom and she will ask the other jurors if they've been contacted by anyone this weekend.
Day four of Minneapolis Park workers with
@LIUNAMinnesota
#363
on strike for better wages and working conditions. Minneapolis Parks are world class because of these workers. Tell the park board to negotiate a fair contract with these workers.
this is a cat. glorious, yes?
most people have never seen one. that's because no cat has ever been captured in a photo before today. a lot of folks think they know what cats look like, but actually they've only seen a mountain, or a book.
common mistakes.
