You didn’t ask an honest question. You got your feelings hurt and tried to clap back. And you are still as ignorant as you came in

Sarah u have no concept of what i do, so there is no irony here, the only thing you are pointing out is how ignorant you are by coming into my thread with said ignorance about me

I think a better question you should ask yourself, why were you so offended by the post? Did it strike a chord for you?

another star tribune failure in not mentioning that john wall doesn't even live in minneapolis. it's clear they only read the decision, they didn't request hearing audio to listen, and we know they didn't send anyone to cover it, i was the only one there!

Credit where credit is due. The Democrats' message that the GOP shut down the government because they want to throw millions of people off healthcare has broken through. Two of my cousins who are NOT AT ALL tuned into national politics told me that this is why the government is shut down.

Say more, what am I doing about liberal cowardice? Like, am I infusing them with the courage of my ancestors? Maybe I am limited in my imagination, I’ve not quite considered how I could give the cowardly lion some courage.

Nothing says you’ve gone too far and too woke than fighting against the klan. 🙄 How do we retroactively change the Nazis in Raiders of The Lost Ark to a non ideological foe?

Ahhh to be someone who’s every failing is someone else’s fault. Must be nice for him!

Also to the “it’s all projection” point for them. It truly is. Because this is just how they feel about (and how they will treat) progressives/leftists.

he Downtown Council, which has been a Frey political arm since he was elected, is probably not going to give you good unbiased political or voting advice. Frankly, you are not invited to The Downtown Council, but they will tell you they know what is best for you and your family

the list Frey failures goes on and on, created on his own petty transactional way, not wished on by any critic, only noticed. - It would be absurd for us to cheer on Frey failures when we are the ones who suffer when they happen.

…if his critics tricked him into supporting a polarizer like Rev McAfee for purely political reasons, failing to fight for important accountability in the police federation contract that he promised, raising your property tax levy to cover police abuse settlments…

This could only be true if Frey's critics somehow tricked him into lying about banning no-knock warrants, issuing more vetoes of council majority votes than any mayor, appointing political patronage failures in important city staff positions, alienating civil servants,

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

The answer to a question in the headline is always ‘no,’ but Tolkkinen finds it hard to argue against cheap labor.

Headline from the "rural issues" columnist:

Tolkkinen: Minnesota’s Constitution allows $1-an-hour labor for inmates. Should it?
In two rural counties, that labor is being used to build affordable housing.

Megyn Kelly has now made multiple denigrating posts about me across X, YouTube, her podcast so I’m sharing this. Unlike her, I don't perform dislike and disdain in public,then become my real self when the cameras are off. That's the definition of the grift she accuses me of;I find it profoundly sad.

As with every other major shift in American life this decade, 2020 marked a major turning point here. The supposed excesses of brief calls for racial justice were deemed so intolerable-due largely, I would argue, to the political and media classes spending three years shrieking about crime and explicitly tying it to said calls for racial justice-that they boomeranged into people essentially apologizing for saying George Floyd's murder was bad, and promising a newfound commitment to being more racist.

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been
overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most.
Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much
happier person if you showed a little gratitude
