Extremely Midwestern. Mostly dogs, unions, and bad jokes. I’ll never give up the Oxford comma. I lost on Jeopardy! I come up with my views all on my own.

We've gotta make the Monorail Simpsons episode required viewing for every city councilor in the country. Every single thing he says here is a lie. A Potemkin Village Imaginarium.
Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."

super proud of these kids and also glad that their work is recognized but their privacy is maintained
This thread is the we are going to win thread, is the kids are alright thread, is the STOP ICE thread, is the civil society rising thread; read it through.
Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

Our @sbworkersunited.org baristas at corporate stores are asking customers to #DeleteTheApp to show you stand with workers, not billion-dollar corporations. Deleting the Starbucks app sends a message: there's no business as usual while union-busting.

Angie Craig crossed the @sbworkersunited.org picket line to get that coffee and then brought it to the DFL elected officials meeting. Folks, that L stands for LABOR. The fact that she clearly doesn’t care is one of many reasons why @peggyflanagan.bsky.social is the clear choice.

Emmer probably isn’t lying about saying the vast majority of minnesotans that are talking to him appreciate this bullshit, because he’s too afraid of most Minnesotans to let them talk to him.
Emmer: "The people you're seeing in these videos, the vast majority of them I do not believe are from Minnesota. These are organized chaos agents, paid agitators. The vast majority of Minnesotans that are talking to me appreciate that law enforcement has arrived, and they are happy they're there."

It’s not our job as @mapeunion.bsky.social members to fix our employer’s budget. We’re gathering for a solidarity social to keep moving this fight along while the state of Minnesota tries its best to screw over its employees and therefore the people who depend on public service (that’s everyone btw)
