This is where I write something which refers to a single ep of television that aired in 2009 -- then never change it for the life of the platform. She/Her Minneapolis, MN

When I have time, don't know when, I'm going to write a thread that explains this is/was my TV account(for ~17yrs)
I hope my far flung friends mute what words they need to not be bothered by all the local politics I'm posting. I feel like the upcoming elections are existentially important so I must.

Apply this language to higher levels of government in this country and see how it sounds: "the executive is having his allies push to change the constitution so that he can hire whoever he wants to lead vital executive departments, with no confirmation vote from the legislative branch."

POWER GRAB: 6-5 majority of commissioners on this work group say council shouldn't get a confirmation vote for mayor's picks for directors of public works, community planning/economic development, civil rights, health, emergency management, regulatory services, assessor.

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!

jiminy crickets. out of 592 payloads to reenter the atmosphere this year 36 were *not* Starlink.

some of the Starlink satellites had been in orbit less than three years.

this is not a good use of resources, *especially* low earth orbit, which should be held in common by all humanity.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

The Atlantic—one of the most prolific corporate media outlets in America—attacked me, my values, & my advocacy. And they got most everything wrong.

Here is my rebuttal. I doubt they’ll issue a retraction, but my receipts are undeniable. Please share and boost.❤️✊🏽

Congratulations lawyer Dan on winning one campaign finance case after another. One of our finest legal minds, who takes only the dumbest possible cases.

We won!

Following three weeks of legal proceedings and over five hours in court, the judge found Wayzata-based Minneapolis landlord John Wall in violation of the law on three counts, resulting in a $1,450 fine.

🧵 Trump is criminally invading states under false pretenses. His supporters are trying to instigate violence by dressing as antifa and committing crimes.

In this clip from Portland, Joey Gibson of "Patriot Prayer" and his fiancée, Lindsey Nichols, tried to cause trouble before being forced away.
