She/hers, disabled Crohnie, food geek, mom, wife, all views my own. It’s hard to fight the good fight hungry. I’ll bring snacks.
This is infuriating. How does holding these beliefs not automatically remover him from eligibility? And for the love of everything holy, why would they ask him to lead anything with International in the title?!
Racists, bigots, pedophiles. I hate this place.
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

I signed up for a free trial of Discovery+. Puppy Bowl was important to our home.

Is there anything else we should watch before I cancel it again?

Yes. This. I appreciate him speaking about it.
US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

The hardest part of bars is waiting to cool.

I made chicken and dumplings. Then I made bars. I am feeling the cozy today. I needed some yummy and good foods.

I am watching the opening ceremony of the Olympics. I just yelled “F@ck you! Go home!” at my tv. Guess who I saw? Ass hat.

271 and counting. This St. Paul girl has to rep her roots.
Uhh, we've sold 270 of these.
ATTENTION.
We have created a T-shirt to celebrate our neighbors fighting back against fascists. All profits will go to the Hamline Midway Supply Hub, helping our neighbors sheltering at home.
This is a pre-order. You have until Feb 20th to order this sexy beast.

To be very clear, this entire administration from POTUS on down, are racist and cruel. I will not share the video, but I saw it existed. If you still work for this WH, you are a horrible person.

Look it! This is a nice moment to break up the doom. Woowoowoo.
Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

I keep hearing lots of air traffic. And it is not usual for our house. What the heck is happening out there?

We live in the burbs. It isn’t even normal during the occupation.

The only objection I have is that there are ANY demands that allow the DHS to stay open. Shut it down and let that entire rotten piece go to history.

I have no fear of its demise. I only fear what it does while it exists. Tear it down.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday that demands made by Democrats for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic” and warned that the Department of Homeland Security will shut down next week if they do not work with Republicans and the White House.

I survived caucus night! I only volunteered for three things. One was teller, so only for tonight doesn’t count. I am now a precinct vice chair for two years. And I have feelers out for the next steps to support the candidate for state house I like.

This is why I shouldn’t be left alone. :)

Caucus night. Whee! More fun when you have a candidate to support and volunteer for.

Playing a game of poke the asshat over on Facebook. Kind of fun. NGL.

Tomorrow I will be the better person. Today? Pokepokepokity poke.

I cannot stress enough how much I loved the Mercenary Librarian series. Go find it and support @mostlybree.kitrocha.com .
I can't stop laughing about how we wrote a trilogy about lady book nerds fighting tech bros with community organizing and 3d printers and 6 years later a bunch of lady book nerds Nick Fury'd the whistle avengers. 😂

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Why are the federal thugs still allowed to use Minneapolis parks? That is a blessed community space and they are not the community. GTFO.
This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/

This seems like a tactical error. Given how many Minnesotans are currently without basic needs like diapers and rent, perhaps this is bad timing. Yikes. Who looks around right now and says I have millionaires who like me?
Proud to earn the endorsement of Patriotic Millionaires.

When even millionaires are saying the system is rigged, it’s clear we need a complete overhaul to rebuild an economy that rewards hard work and creates opportunity for all Americans.

I love that she wasn’t letting that awful person control the moment. She reclaimed the podium and continued. Also, how much did I love her instinct to go get him? So great. I hope it is benign liquid and everything is ok for her.
REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)
Perry: Abolish ICE? How about DHS altogether.
"We have models for how to structure federal immigration oversight that doesn't rely on an unaccountable masked secret police force running rampant in our streets," David M. Perry writes.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
