JD Vance says of the Middle East that it's "a region of the world made up of countries whose name I couldn't even pronounce"

my precinct at 99-109% 🫡

David Brauer@dbrauer.net

🧵 Minneapolis early voting thru Monday. 7 full early voting days to go, but precincts in blue at/above 2022 *total* early vote. Orange = below ‘22’s total , but again, full week to go. Only 1 precinct (7-10 in Stevens Square) is below 70% of ‘22. Pace seems certain to smash 2018 midterm record (52k)

bit.lyTrump blasts 76ers' star LeBron James as 'disgrace' for not standing still during national anthemPresident Donald Trump accuses LeBron James of disrespecting the United States. This comes after James continued his warmups during the national anthem at a game on Tuesday.

probably not a hot take on this site but we shouldn’t be playing the national anthem at sporting events anyway!

The Associated Press@apnews.com

President Donald Trump accused LeBron James of disrespecting the United States after the NBA star appeared to continue his warmups while the national anthem was performed before Philadelphia’s season opener.

bit.lyMusk pledges a share of his SpaceX company to 'every kid in America'Billionaire Elon Musk on Monday pledged to give one share of his company SpaceX to “every kid in America.”

lol this is just Scott’s Tots, right?

The Associated Press@apnews.com

Elon Musk pledged to give one share of his company SpaceX to “every kid in America.” The offer arrived a day after artificial intelligence company Anthropic announced in a social media post that it will commit 5% of its shares to a new “public benefit” fund.

i think Kid Rock has been caught somewhere between a boy and man since 1989

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Kid Rock on Fox & Friends: "It appears that El-Sayed is assimilated ... and I would like to make the point that there have been other people who have assimilated to this country. The Fort Hood shooter. Those extremists that became pilots and crashed into our World Trade Center."

proud of my congresswoman 🫡

Ilhan Omar@ilhanmn.bsky.social

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

so today alone we have - more racist comments from the president in which he encourages Minnesotans to “fight back” against our Somali neighbors - the secretary of defense promoting a public execution - the VP saying, more or less, that “modern” socialism is whatever he doesn’t like

and it’s just another Thursday. this shit is exhausting

previous two weeks were BRUTAL bc of that photography festival or whatever and i say this as someone who loves photography!

David Brauer@dbrauer.net

I really need to crowdsource a calendar that shows all the days Nicollet Mall is impassable to buses. Today would be one of them.

“despite court ruling” we’re inching closer and closer to traditional outlets stating that the administration is breaking the law, which is what’s happening somewhat concerning, though, that they’re still holding back when it’s directly impacting their field

The New York Times@nytimes.com

The Trump administration barred journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico from entering the White House grounds on Thursday morning, hours after a federal judge ordered the immediate restoration of their access. Follow live updates. trib.al/T7KFcuu

don’t think i will ever get over the fact that City got Ndiaye for £65 million when Enzo went for £125 million

Eric Auer Lee@ericauerlee.bsky.social

Ndiaye at that price is a steal for City, but i must say i would rather have Grealish than Richarlison at this point think #Everton might be overpaying for Flo but hope i am wrong!

maybe i’m being a little too critical, but it sure seems like the Star Tribune is carrying water for GOP candidates and not giving Democratic candidates similar favorable coverage

20 Aug

granted these are two different races but … Demuth won the primary with a plurality and by 11 points: rising figure with leadership skills Flanagan won the primary with a majority and by 20 points: concerns that she’s too far left

my OCD has been roouuugh recently. just dragging me all over the place and eating up large chunks of my days shit sucks but that’s not the point, just some context during stretches like this, we take wins and find joy where we can i voted today, a small joy that won’t be taken for granted

3 Aug

he’s right. Minneapolis is such a dirty city with gross trees and no lakes he and his goons should stay away bc it’s so dirty and gross

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."

dude on the bus complimented my shoes and tattoos. it’s gonna be a good day

i think this headline speaks to where we are as a society. is this actually “ratting out” or is it holding them accountable? www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

the story itself does much better with its framing, but headlines are important too! not everyone reads the whole story!

massive kickball game tonight. trying to end the regular season undefeated, which would be quite the turnaround after going 3-4 in the spring we’ve got a tough opponent (beat us 3-1 in the spring) and we’ll be down a few regulars, but don’t doubt the Incrediballs

well, all good things must come to an end**. we’ll regroup and be focused for the playoffs next week 😤 **this is such a weird phrase and there are plenty of good things that don’t end
