The whole thread is good, but this drives it home.

For God’s sake, take the politics out of funding medical research, embrace science, pay for it with taxes…and only then can you truly call yourself “pro-life.”

Thune: "If the Democrats had won the majority, they probably would've tried to nuke the filibuster. And then you'd have four new senators from Puerto Rico and DC, you'd have a packed Supreme Court, you'd have abortion on demand ... "

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

So incredibly disappointed that 5 of the 6 Mahtomedi school board members signed this. I’m not surprised as the school board was trending to the right when my children were graduating. Reaffirms my decision to move away from that area.

Then why did Mike float the idea of not paying workers if he thinks they should get it?

I never saw or read a Harry Potter movie/ book.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Minneapolis is a dangerous hellhole, a killing field, and is incapable of running free and fair elections. Sincerely, the committee to reelect the guy who's been mayor for 8 years. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Vote for Katie Cashman, Ward 7!!!

Minneapolis for the Many @mplsforthemany.com · 10d

Elizabeth Shaffer is a Republican donor with Republican priorities.

Her campaign is backed by Republican donors and landlords responsible for hundreds of property violations.

Ward 7 deserves a real Democrat, not a Republican donor backed by more Republican donors.

Title text: "Elizabeth Shaffer: Republican donor with Republican priorities." Above a screenshot of a Republican donation from Shaffer and the following text: "If you donate to Republican candidates and 20% of your donors are Republicans and you're anti-labor and pro-criminalizing marijuana, should you be running as a DFL candidate? These are good questions for Elizabeth Shaffer. Learn more at www.elizabethshafferfacts.com"

someone said on twitter you can't be an open republican and work in minneapolis politics but you actually can as long as it's on the elizabeth shaffer campaign. she featured the deputy chair of the MN GOP CD5 in her kickoff video! he doorknocked and campaigned for her! his name is mitch rossow!

taylr @taylordahlin.com · Jun 21

why would the MN GOP CD5 deputy chair be at an event for a DFL endorsed candidate?

this is mitch rossow pictured in the video shared from elizabeth shaffer’s field kickoff today

I’m glad his face wasn’t hidden so he can be held accountable for the brutality.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Yep, I got an MMR shot last week since my previous one was 50 years ago.

KellyO @tripletheblue.bsky.social · 18d

I volunteer weekly at a foodshelf the last 5 years. We used to always have eggs and milk for our emergency clients. Now eggs are frequently unavailable to them. We used to provide frozen chicken, beef, or fish. Today was hot dogs.

I canceled my Hulu/disney+ subscription. How do people feel about YouTube tv?

Mark Harris @markharris.bsky.social · 23d

Re Kimmel, it's important that Disney has left itself an out--it is a "suspension," not a cancellation or firing. What happens in the next two days--reaction within the company but also in the press, in the industry, in Washington, among consumers, and on social media--may affect how this plays out.
