Minnesotans love our third spaces, we love our special events, we love our little treats, we love Doing Our Civic Duty, and we love anything we can claim is *distinctly Minnesotan* whether it is or not, and the MN State Fair is like the center of allllllllllll those Venn Diagram circles at once.

I know in the minds of Democrats the ballroom, the arch, the golden statues, putting his name on everything are nothingburger issues next to health care or whatever, but they’re actually a lot easier to grasp and firmly demonstrate how ABNORMAL this all is.

The policy juice in terms of increasing birth rates without doing anything horrific is pretty clearly getting people who already have one or two kids to go “ehh fuck it what’s another”, but everyone wants to litigate culture war shit about the childless
As a parent of three kids, who I adore and I absolutely would not change a thing, let me be blunt: DO NOT HAVE KIDS IF YOU DO NOT WANT KIDS. DO NOT HAVE KIDS OUT OF ANY SENSE OF OBLIGATION TO ANYONE ELSE. You are not doing the world a favor. You are manufacturing a bad situation for them and you.

I think another reason many Americans Feel Bad About the Economy: There is a constant barrage of information indicating to the casual observer that people who run scams and lie and refuse to play by the rules aren't just going unpunished, they're *making way more money than you are* as a result.

it’s difficult to overstate how much the next generation of Republicans is worse we’re seeing a little of it bleed into the current admin with their social media interns but basically every young person actively engaged in Republican politics is a psychotic freak who should be exiled from society
University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as “traitors” with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme. dailyillini.com/news-stories...

NEW from @justinrohrlich.bsky.social: “I’m not surprised this happened,” Ilhan Omar attacker Anthony Kazmierczak’s brother said. “Not at all. Unfortunately, he and my mother are both right-wing extremists.” "In my mind, he’s a piece of s**t," he added. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Boy, I sure don’t like the Vice President insulting the life I live by calling it meaningless
JD Vance: "To our fellow Americans we say, you're never gonna find great meaning in a cubicle or in front of a computer screen. But you will find great meaning if you dedicate yourself to the creation and sustenance of human life."

People who say this are clearly speaking aspirationally about a shared American creed they hold dear. “Have you heard of the Trail of Tears?” is not a very helpful response, because they probably have and the priority right now is moral opposition to fascism and not fake-educating each other.
I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy
Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

The attacker is Tyler O'Ryan Gramlin, 32, of Borden, Indiana.

Anna Brauch said an ICE agent grabbed her by handcuffs, and used all his strength to yank her repeatedly around the car. She told him: “You're breaking my hands, you’re breaking my hands.” He told her: “I don’t fucking care. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up.” (6) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I feel pretty misunderstood by people living in rural areas, and yet mysteriously, this isn’t considered a problem. I’m sick of putting up with this idiotic display of obeisance to chucklefucks simply because they live in rural areas.
Republicans control all 3 branches of government. Even when they don't, both parties pump out constant rhetoric about "real Americans" living in rural areas. The entire premise of this article is a conservative-fluffing myth. Cities have more political power because that's where most people live!
