Yesterday, after the WSJ didn't even do BASIC fact-checking, they accused Flanagan of lying about Phi Beta Kappa. The truth came out (she's a member). Twin Cities news media blamed HER for not clarifying THEIR lie fast enough. NOW they admit she told the truth. www.startribune.com/peggy-flanag...

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Before the week begins, I have a specific request: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

It'll be the 5-year anniversary of PN on Oct. 5! Going independent was the best career decision I've made but it wouldn't be possible without paid subscribers. I'm currently offering yearly subs to PN for $40, or 16¢ per edition. If you appreciate my coverage, please support my work by signing up!

CNN pulled a clip of Michele Tafoya recently saying "I've never said I was embarrassed to be from Minnesota" and then displays an unearthed and deleted tweet of her saying "I am embarrassed to be from Minnesota" 🥴

🚨 OCTOBER 17 — NO KINGS: VOTE EARLY! With our democracy at stake, we're showing up again to promote unprecedented voter participation in the midterms. Our goal is to translate the historic protest power of No Kings mobilizations into a massive wave of voter turnout.

Minnesota right-wing Alpha News has uncovered the huge scandal that a school board candidate in my hometown of Forest Lake also plays in a rock band! The horror!

Just came across this photo in my archives. Timestamp says it was taken on January 16 2021 (5 years and a day ago). I forgot where I saw it. Still applies today obviously.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

The Northern Lights from our backyard in South Minneapolis were amazing tonight!

Well done, USA. 🇺🇸

“King Donald The First. F*ck that.” Robert De Niro wants to see you in the streets on October 18 to show the world that America has no kings, and power still belongs to the people: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Democrats aren’t powerless against Trump’s blitzkrieg power-grab. Senate rules are designed to protect the rights of the minority and Democrats have tools at their disposal to grind Senate business to a halt if Republicans try to ram through Trump’s extremist agenda: indivisible.org/resource/how...

Very good perspective...

I was hoping there would be a little more time before we had to go here but Viva le Resistance!

Happy Aloha Friday! 😀 I wanted to share these words of wisdom for my first post... “Never cease to act because you fear you may fail. The true secret is to know your own worth. It will carry you through many dangers.” – Queen Lili’uokalani
