Could not be more excited. World Premiere! #PurpleRain #Prince #hennepinarts

Good Lord, @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social, why are you airing Trump’s rambling about flag poles. This is not news. Do better.

Brian Lucas @mnbrian.bsky.social · Jun 14

We reluctantly turned around… but stand in solidarity with all the protests today.

Heeding the wishes of law enforcement after the horrific events this morning… we decided not to attend the #NoKings rally in Minnesota today.

Still… we stand in solidarity with the rally’s around the nation. We need to stand together… in peace and strength… to find a path forward.

@velshi.com Don’t you think there is a reasonable chance he acted with others and has another vehicle? Please ask about this possibility.

This was obviously well planned in advance.

Hey, news media… I feel like we’re normalizing kidnapping & imprisonment without due process.

Take a page from the Iran Hostage coverage and run a counter on screen documenting how long the prisoners have been locked away in El Salvador.

Thank you to all the speakers as we make our voices heard about the impact of medical debt on Minnesota families.

I’m honored to be representing the #LeukemiaLymphomaSociety to advocate for the Medical Debt RESET Act!

Hey, @maddow.msnbc.com, does it count as a "grassroots protest" if there's no grass?

Here is a group of octogenarians who took to the desert in Arizona to express their anger and dismay at the Trump/Musk regime. Thought you'd get a kick out of it.

Brian Lucas @mnbrian.bsky.social · Mar 18

Dear news media… please stop reporting so much about polls and how Americans are feeling about issues. Spend more time educating people about issues.

Thank you.

The mere fact that I was so devastated when the #LunarOwls lost last night shows how successful @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social was this year. The league not only showcased great athletes, it made us care. Thank you #NapheesaCollier for helping create this special league.

Dear #mnvikings… I JUST got back on board after you finally got rid of an annoying anti-vax QB. If you sign the king of the anti-vax conspiracy theorists, I will have to turn in my Viking horns permanently.

Please, please… no Aaron Rodgers!!

This is horrifying. I'd accuse them of using 1984 and Handmade's Tale as textbooks if I actually thought they read books.

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · Mar 10

Fascism is here.

The list of words Trump is banning from government is the most stunning document of our time. Click the image below to see how many words Trump and Musk have canceled as part of their new Reich.

If you want to gain an actual understanding of the issues around transgender care for children, this article is a must-read. Honestly, the hate and misinformation around this topic have to stop. This is an issue that begs for empathy and understanding. Please read.

Maximillian Potter @maxpotter.bsky.social · Mar 5

“The lie that any child is trapped in the wrong body.” He is disgusting, ignorant and cruel. I spent a few years with a transgender child and her family as they navigated so much — and as they feared the hate and cruelty like that personified by this president. www.5280.com/second-nature/

In an exclusive preview from our March issue, meet a local family that is raising a little girl born in the wrong body.

This is one of my favorite articles of yours... and once I cite often around this issue. It's a must read.

Dear Lindsey Graham,

Whatever the Russians have on you, it CAN’T be that bad!! We will forgive you… pull yourself out of this spiral of self destruction. Speak the truth. Screw the threats.

This is too important to sacrifice our national security.

Lindsey Graham is trashing Zelenskyy and praising Trump and Vance

Brian Lucas @mnbrian.bsky.social · Mar 2

Trump… Vance… Rubio… you do not speak for me or for the vast majority of Americans. #Ukraine

This completely dick-ish question to a president who has been leading his country against a brutal invasion... comes a day after Elon Musk attended a cabinet meeting looking like this.

On "Economic Blackout Day" I have officially deleted my "X" account (finally)... shopped locally (ran out of coffee this morning) and sat with my dog on my lap, reassuring her that better days will come. Hope your Blackout Day is is just as peaceful.

As a huge #MNTimberwolves fan, please, for the love of God... don't let #JimmyButler anywhere NEAR this franchise again.

I can only hope the trade rumors are a cruel joke. The guy is a cancer wherever he goes. Never... ever... again...

Let’s go #LunarOwls! So fun to watch the start of @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social

What an amazing new way to appreciate these great athletes!

Brian Lucas @mnbrian.bsky.social · Nov 21

An excellent point. Language is important. We can't normalize this kind of criminal and abhorrent behavior.

Laura Bassett @lebassett.bsky.social · Nov 21

Genuine question: Why are all major news outlets reporting the Gaetz allegations as "sex with a minor" or "sexual encounters with a 17-year-old" instead of rape, or at least statutory rape? Isn't the age of consent 18 in Florida?

Brian Lucas @mnbrian.bsky.social · Nov 21

Of all the possible "Matt Gaetz Withdraws..." headlines we could see... this is by far the best!

Unfortunately, he will land on his feet and Trump will pivot to another unqualified zealot who will sail through confirmation for "not being Matt Gaetz."

#Gaetz

Brian Lucas @mnbrian.bsky.social · Nov 19

So... finally leaving X and starting over here. Trying to resist re-creating my old list to cultivate something new. Who should I follow for #politics, #art, #food, #sports, #movies, #music. I'm looking for interesting, thought-provoking, positive voices.

Any suggestions are most appreciated!
