If you’re in Minneapolis, cancel your plans tonight and come make a bench at @ehbforbet.bsky.social’s campaign event to add more free public seating in town.

All the wood is pre-cut courtesy of @locallhuman.bsky.social, so we’re just assembling.

Hard to tell if Becka understands that I’m making fun of her for saying ridiculous and offensive things or if she really believes I endorsed her

It’s hard to keep up with her ridiculous statements on TikTok

Mike Norton @mikenorton.org · Aug 4

Oh, I did see that but didn’t catch the “matriculated” part. So many layers to her chaotic posts.

We were out on the river the day before this photo and I didn’t put on sunscreen beforehand, but I’m usually more careful about it

It was an honor to have Bill Mondale auction off my photo of the old Uptown Arby’s sign for Council Member Katie Cashman’s re-election campaign.

I’ll hand deliver (in Mpls) another signed and numbered print to the highest Katie donor in my replies today: secure.actblue.com/donate/katie...
