It’s not just that he’s lying, it’s that he knows his supporters don’t care to find out the truth. They’d rather hear what they want to hear and he knows it. He’s telling his little red town believers they’re the chosen ones and the people they don’t like are burning in hell.

Is Portland Burning?

No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

I really expected the standard "call this number" blow off... not straight up fascism. They are coming. And they are pumped up for it.

Bit of good news today, my union’s hard-won contract was officially approved. As always, there will still be work to do in defending it. We have to stay vigilant, always. It’s always been like this. For now, I’m just relieved.

It’s up to Minnesota to protect the Boundary Waters • Minnesota Reformer

Just when we were in the homestretch for permanently protecting canoe country, the Trump administration vowed to greenlight sulfide-ore copper mining in its headwaters.

So ofc all he did was blame democrats. “Republicans are the ones delivering for you” 🤢
Well Virginia caller, keep calling and yelling at them to DO SOMETHING for you, and see how that goes

Since I started advocating with Friends of the Boundary Waters I’ve learned so much, but still so many questions.

Who is this funny-looking Trump puppet? And really, Utah? Isn’t the whole state pretty much a national park? Why are they doing this? How much did they get for their souls?

Senator Lee Is Back with His Attack on Public Lands. This Time He Wants to Butcher the Wilderness Act Under the Guise of Border Security

Utah Sen. Mike Lee is back with his attacks on public lands. This time, he introduced an unfounded bill under the pretense of border security.

I sure can’t imagine. My infertility seems more and more like a blessing.

But no charges at all for parents who let their children die of measles.

Pro-lifers preach the sanctity of life as if consciousness doesn’t matter, then turn around and lie and say consciousness begins in the first trimester. They preach the sanctity of truth but practice the opposite.

I knew someone who went through that at 18 weeks. I was so sad for her. On top of that loss, having to go through 23 hours of labor.

Une manœvre habile

Dani Minneapolis @mplsmndani.bsky.social · 3d

Some spectators held up signs saying “Run fast, you’re in a war zone” or “Your chafing is melting ICE”

Trumpers know damn well there are no war zones.

I’ve jogged solo through all the “scary” parts of Minneapolis and no Trump supporter has ever expressed concern, including my dumb cousins.

Honestly it’s hard for me to laugh sometimes. They’re going to try to come to all blue cities, I’m worried.

Another earmark of abusive relationships: They will spend far more energy on their concocted battles than on actually setting things right.

It would probably take about half as much time, energy and resources to solve the housing problems in this country if they would only have their priorities straight!

In other news, state Senator Doron Clark ran a 1:01! Mayors Carter and Frey are also runners. The Twin Cities rank very high on best places to live for runners and bikers, despite being covered in snow so much of the year.

Fun spectating at Twin Cities Marathon yesterday. Governor Walz ran the 10-mile with his daughter. Not the first time, he’s run for years. When Runner’s World shared this news on Facebook, the most common comment was “Oh sure, prove it” 🙄

I believe you. It was like that when the George Floyd protests started. Nobody was doing anything, and suddenly there was tear gas everywhere.

This propaganda at hud.gov
Reminds me of the bad landlord who raised my rent $300 and then was mad that I moved out

Dani Minneapolis @mplsmndani.bsky.social · 9d

Buckle up friends, it’s that time again when conservative trolls come out of the woodwork and assert that their disinformed opinions are more important than our lived experience. Let them. But let them see what they’re missing.

Just got back from a 7-mile run and I’m making waffles. Definitely not watching “A Precarious State” which sounds like a long tedious advertisement for Rick Kupchella’s shitty tv show and anguished plea for poor, poor landlords like Jim Rubin….

He didn’t say “folks on your side are worse.” He wouldn’t want to have to defend that.
