The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

Alex Pretti came from a mid-sized city in Wisconsin to get his education in the Twin Cities. He chose to stay and work here into his adulthood and called the south side of Minneapolis his home. Riding his bike through the woods brought him joy.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Really don’t want this to be Martyrapolis. I’d like us to all just to have the opportunity to lead our lives in peace.

A modest proposal: Wisconsin and Minnesota do an inter-league trade of Justin Jefferson for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Packers and Wolves instantly become championship favorites. Bucks and Vikes seasons are already a disaster.

I’m reading Dresden Files - Battle Ground, a story where a bronze titan sends an army to invade Chicago, but the City’s weirdos and regular folks band together to drive them back.
Or is that the news? Tough to keep track.

"Zohran Mamdani is a job-killer, not a job-creator," continued Andrew Cuomo. "Not like me. I've created jobs. Mortuaries, mass grave facilities managers, trauma therapists, pepper spray salespeople, sexual assault hotline operators -- they'll all tell you. That's what I told my good friend Don."

Just got choked up watch the trailer for "The Paper" and I think it's because The Office was kind of the Obama era and I'm just so worn down by the constant psychic assault of Trump's America.

I passed a group of kids on the trail and when one saw my bike he shouted “it’s so shiny!” and that’s possibly the highlight of my week.

Yes, there are the big name folks who everyone knows about and who didn't really surprise anyone—Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, David Sacks, Elon Musk (pre-fallout)—but the more troubling trend has been watching younger entrepreneurs and VCs listen to their podcasts, read their posts and books, and slowly nod along to the idea that democracy is holding back innovation.
