Rally to save Evie TONIGHT! 6pm at Government Plaza in MPLS. Take an Evie there! Evie provides an essential service for residents who wish to live car-free but still require the occasional use of an automobile to carry groceries or make one-off trips to areas without transit.🧵

Glad to see people from all parts of the DFL, moderate to left, speak out about how this Ilhan raid is an obvious politically motivated hit job that’s dangerous to democracy.

THANK YOU everybody who showed up, donated, helped out, reposted, etc. It was thrilling to have so many amazing people in one place to build community and support a great cause (homes for our neighbors!). I love all of you and I love the Twin Cities (especially Saint Paul)!💙

Thank you, Saint Paul! We had a packed house Thursday for Sibling Rivalry 2 and the enthusiasm and energy your brought was incredible. With your help, we raised over $22k, won the Golden TenPlex, and proved once again that Saint Paul is the great city of MN. And that's not all!

‪Vibes were good. Beautiful space. Menu prices seemed reasonable except for steak items, which were pricey. I decided to splurge and see if the fried steak would be worth it. Gravy was good but unfortunately the steak was a bit tough. Gonna try the biscuits and gravy next time.‬

Don't worry, Minneapolis. Even though this is the guy who wore THIS outfit to our last Sibling Rivalry, I am sure @blindeke.bsky.social will be COMPLETELY impartial when judging the short trivia portion.😉 Looking forward to another W on October 8th.

If I had a nickel for every scheming untrustworthy royal advisor character in an epic fiction series named a weird spelling of Peter, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Honorable mention to Peter from Romeo and Juliet. Who is a normal spelling, not part of a series, and not an untrustworthy advisor. But spiritually seems related somehow.
