I moved to Minnesota in June 2023 during a day when the air smelled like a campfire. When I’ve asked longtime Minnesotans about the increasingly severe smoke during our summers, they all say it was never a problem until a few years ago. And wow, this graph has got the receipts.

If you want to do this in Minnesota specifically for your LGBTQ+ siblings, might I recommend ABetterDFL.org in this trying time?

I was the person behind the comedian who got the last question at the DFL Listening Tour tonight.

I wanted to say "Big tents require sturdy poles and people holding axes shouldn't be welcomed in. If someone is being transphobic, they are holding an axe. Even if you can't see it, other people can."

Way back when the child care center stuff was happening at the U, one of the working groups I structured among the parents was “emotional labor”—they made sure we took care of people so others could take care of other things. If you don’t do it explicitly it’s very vulnerable to being overlooked.

Things I wish all event organizers would do: be more explicit about how they’re going to accommodate needs/children, build in a reminder that if you’re sick to please stay home.

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings

Due process is to figure out how long she goes to jail for.
It has nothing to do with keeping leadership positions in a political party.
She clearly has poor judgment. There has to be someone better on CD8 to lead. I refuse to believe she’s the only person who can run a zoom meeting.
richard carlbom was asked about cyndy martin remaining on the CRBC and basically said “due process exists in this country.”

i don’t think there is any dispute cyndy martin hit and killed that teenager with her car and didn’t call 911 until the next morning, regardless of the criminal trial

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Seems bad.
Our deep dive into the recesses of Epstein's inbox found repeated instances of him seeking to exploit his Trump relationship. "I am the one able to take him down," Epstein wrote in December 2018. 🎁🔗 @jsgatnyt.bsky.social @nickconfessore.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

Chicago's ICE resistance just showed the world that everyday Americans are good and fearless in fighting for their communities

But our cowardly elites -- especially Senate Democrats -- still don't get it

If there's one thing I would like everyone over 25 to know, it's that way more of the government is run by the people who just decided to show up to meetings than you realize.

Attend a couple city commission meetings yourself, and they lose a lot of the mystique.
Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.

The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.
Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.

Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.

One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.
