I'm speechless. UMN, what are you thinking?

"These people want us to give in to despair. They want us to give up. They want us to look at their scoreboard of victories and determine that the game is unwinnable. So I’m playing a different game, one that is not about winning or losing, but helping or not helping."
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
We regulate machines all the time. Like the one you use to get back and forth to the store. You have to prove you know how to use it, you have to have a license and insurance to keep it, and we tax the fuel used to make it go. And we don't allow regular people to own military grade vehicles.
Well, if Bible stories do for Texas kids what they did for me, which is totally backfire, then so be it. You don't need to be an adult to sniff out utter bullshit.
All 21 of them?
Meanwhile, in the White House Situation Room...
It was a good dream nonetheless.
A girl can dream.
x20.
You know who should show more gratitude? Fucking JD Vance, a former memoirist who didn't even serve an entire term as senator. He lucked into a job he is vastly unqualified to do.
They're just going to kill us with endless bureaucracy
I still cannot fucking believe our lives are in the hands of the party of "wait and see."
I couldn't bring myself to go to the vigil last night. Being in a crowd mourning yet another school shooting always leads me to wonder: how many of you voted for the party of unfettered access to guns? And how many of you, statistically a lot, have guns in your own homes?
"I'm a member of SAG.... I'd like to thank my director, my producer, and of course all my superfans.... who I can count on one hand."
I'm sure he'll want to be the one pushing the lethal injection button, too.
They have been polling nonsense about every presidential election since 2016 and they want us to forget that. When they can cast blame on Democrats for being wrong, it shifts the focus from their abysmal failures when it comes to reporting on elections.
Then again, maybe they're relieved they're not being forced to fire on their fellow citizens, at least not yet.
Dying of measles is a slow, agonizing death. These children slowly suffocated to death.
I have to say, though, the rebrand was a shit design by committee effort. Clearly focus-grouped to death.
The On Tuesday, August 26th at 8:15am, local community leaders responded to reports of heavily armed federal agents at Corcoran Park. At least 5 undercover vehicles were stationed in the park parking lot. Agents at the scene did not disclose why they were there until they began their departure.
Could he be more loveable? I think not.
Minnesota people have this wacky sense of humor that I find incredibly endearing.
I pray for this every goddamn day.
They should remember that the guys who shoveled bodies into the furnaces eventually ended up there themselves.
DO THIS, it takes less than 5 minutes. We have paid for this to be piloted already.
they own it all.
Like you, I have been mispronouncing his name since I learned it, and so did most of my art school professors.
There's also the story (apocryphal? I don't know) of a plane that landed in the river —the shallow end. Many of the people who drowned were still in their seats. All they had to do to live was to stand up.
Yeah, Democracy doesn't die in darkness, it dies in broad daylight with a crowd of mainstream journalists around it.
Beautiful! May you have many happy years together.
ICE is a not-so-secret private police force answerable only to Stephen Miller.
Oh look, it's another comfy cozy fascist state profile.
From your mouth to God's ear. And I hope whatever it is, I hope it's extremely painful and/or involves uncontrollable shitting.
Must be Becka.
MN DFL has revoked its endorsement of Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh—though he won the nomination. DNC found a way to revoke David Hogg’s election to vice chair—though he won the nomination. Democratic Party establishment won’t endorse Zohran Mamdani—though he won the nomination. 1/2
If I was AI, I would have killed us all the day after the election.
Oh my god, Tina, please don't leave the senate.
What's so distressing about Rubio is that he clearly knows better. His eyes get more lifeless with every passing day of complicity. I've never seen someone rot from the inside out as much as Rubio is doing right now.
Fateh, by a whisker. I think having been a state senator is an invaluable asset. But Davis is an extremely close second. I would be very happy if he won too.
He posits a world in which right-wingers are smothered by a flood of progressive ideas and media... as if Fox News does not exist. It's laughable. And church is the answer for incels? I think not.
She should wake up and smell the eugenics.
Freedom - Jonathan Franzen.
What is she, 19?
That would be Stephen Miller who's actually running the country.
All I had to see was the diagram of a slaveship hold showing how they chained and stacked human beings like cordwood for a 3 month journey.
Absofuckinglutely.
New CEO seems pretty much the same as the old CEO. They keep going back to the bland white man for vision.
Everything they sell is some shitty dupe of something you can buy elsewhere for about the same price from corporations that don't ask "how high" when Trump says "jump."
So basically he did to them what they do to their parishioners every Sunday?
Countdown to the inevitable reports of child sex abuse and domestic abuse starts .... now.
Yes, and also.... why give the Strib fodder like this when you absolutely know they will run this as far as they can? She could have said basically the same thing without "fuck" and kept the Strib gassing on about the convention.
It is utterly delicious and worth the time.
When you have red states actively complicit in the oppression of people in blue states, we don't have a country anymore.
But par for their course
And like everything else he does, it'll end with a fist in the air and a quick scoot to the exit.
Maybe when you've been married to a predator for 50 years, Trump seems not so bad?
Democrats are governing by strongly worded letters of protest.
Schumer and Gillibrand will be the death of this country.
Death. He's selling death.
25% of what they bought was on sale. Not sure this is highlife livin'.
so he's defunding the police?
This could be fixed tomorrow by raising the income cap.
my favorite is the leftover takeout raffle.

More in Israel than in all past wars combined.
Is he yelling at the canned goods to lower their prices?
When your state hates you and treats you like an expendable incubator, maybe it's time to leave.
Democrats need to pound home how ruinous Republican presidencies have been. Clinton balanced the budget. Bush handed off a near depression to Obama and a pointless war that Biden finally ended. Regular people suffer when Republicans are in control. Say that over and over.
Someone went to a Target in the middle of the day in Austin Texas and got a bullet in the face. Forgive me if I doubt there will be troops sent in the curb bloodthirsty gun-toting Texans.
also that they think they will be unscathed by climate change OR will have staff to do all their shit for them in their bunkers while the earth burns.
They only stand on principal.... their bank accounts.
Send in the troops to the Texas bloodthirsty hellhole of crime.
If you haven't already, watch the Nat'l Geographic Hurricane Katrina documentary next. Enraging and riveting.
Front or back? I feel like each sends a different message.
Please tell me she's not MAGA.
Leaner and meaner Constitution! Literally.
Thanks, I was in a particularly bitter mood yesterday. You're right. It's good to be reminded that we should just keep doing what we can do for as long as we can still do it.
It's a typo. She's endorsed by The Onion.
And I'm just gonna say, this is what Nazis did. Elevating the idea of pure white women having as many babies as possible, tending to the home and being subservient to the fatherland. This is also eugenics wrapped in pink tissue paper.
What is so breathtaking is that it costs *nothing* to just leave it alone. But they will spend the money to destroy it. Just to prove a point.
Yes please!
Beautiful night here in South Minneapolis. We surprised Standish-Ericisson neighbors with bike-delivered rootbeer floats for National Night Out. Our SENA board members visited as many gatherings as we could manage!
Well, I guess we can just inject bleach and peptides, eat clean, do shirtless pushups and hope for the fucking best.
None of this matters. We don't have a working political system that voters can sway, either with their votes or by showing up and yelling at their representatives. That is all gone, brought to us by the less than 1/3 of the country who voted for this and the other 1/3 who didn't bother to vote.
Not going to link to it, but today's top NYT story is an inside look at Jeffrey Epstein's NY apartment, complete with modern art and a first edition of Lolita. In other words, "he was a pedophile but he had great taste"?
PLEASE SHARE: Missing Child - Victoria Alexandria Jackson. The Minneapolis Police Department is asking for the public’s help in locating Victoria Alexandria Jackson , a missing 12-year-old girl. VICTORIA was last seen walking from Minnehaha Falls on August 2nd around 8:00 p.m.
These people are out of their fucking minds.
We are all Capital One Travel lounge!
Gift article: Those pesky statistics!
It's infrastructure week all over again.
Jeff Bezos spent 1/10 of the CPB budget on a lavish wedding, Trump is getting ready to drop millions on a ballroom and a private plane. This is why we can't have nice things. Unabashed greed and narcissism.
