Hi (thank you @dbrauer.bsky.social)! I'm Bree and I live in Minneapolis, which I hope was fairly obvious. I have a cool dog (@banjompls.bsky.social), and I'm a recruiter with many opinions. I like trivia, reading, fundraising, and meddling in politics. I'm learning Swedish so I can flee the U.S.

I was mostly not concerned with the maniac candidate from Ward 12 losing by North Korea numbers — until she dragged Taylor and I into campaign finance court. But it's been a fun ride.

I was honored to represent Robin Wonsley and Michael Wilson. I admire them for their commitment to the hard, necessary work ahead of us and required of us. I got fired from a good job for taking this case, and yet I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you, Robin and Michael, for fighting for Minneapolis.

Robin for Ward 2 @robin4mpls.bsky.social · 12h

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.

Dolly Parton is living proof that it’s possible to become successful and stay a good person who gives back and I love that so much

I hear she has supported school bands as well: www.thepinknews.com/2022/10/10/d...

Dolly Parton quietly funded Black school bands: 'The woman is a national treasure'

Dolly Parton paid for band uniforms and instruments for kids at majority Black high schools with zero publicity, a writer has revealed.

Breaking news: Israel and Hamas agreed to a deal to end the two-year war in Gaza, President Trump said.

The two sides agreed to halt the fighting, then exchange hostages and prisoners, after which Israeli forces would withdraw, a Hamas official said.

I honestly cannot believe nobody even once suggested I might have ADHD

jadehawk "FREE ŁINK" @jadehawk.bsky.social · 8h

unmedicated adhd = i write every single paper in college the night before they were due. with 3 exceptions, they were all A's

and then i got permanent burnout. but that's about the unmedicated part, not the writing brilliant essays in 5 hours part.

It would be cool if you used alt text. When adding an image, click the "+ALT" then write a description of the image.

You can set up a reminder:
Go to your profile settings, click "Accessibility" under Basics, make sure "Require alt text before posting" is toggled on.

Many won't RS w/out it.

Ask yourself what you would do if you found out your friends were hanging out with child rapists. You would not be friends with them anymore!

Instead everyone has turned this into another political talking point.

My grandfathers were antifa AF. Grandmothers, too. And the rest of my entire family, as far back as we know (and we have extensive genealogy done).

BOOOOlioraptor, PhD (spooky version) @biblioraptorphd.bsky.social · 15h

Both my grandfathers were antifa. One even got an antifa medal. Think it was purple

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 16h

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

So, as part of Taylor Swift's album rollout, there was a scavenger hunt involving videos that looked *really* AI-generated. So #SwiftiesAgainstAI became a thing and now the videos are impossible to find. Fandom outrage can be good!

DeWayne Davis @dewayneforminneapolis.com · 20h

We deserve a mayor who will care for every neighborhood across Minneapolis. Our neighbors are invested deeply in their communities and they know what they need to thrive. We need leadership who is as committed to their success as they are.
