Can we...just accept that we suck at this?

I want to tell you a story that has made me kinda hopeless about Twitter's ability to affect positive things happening, and it starts with this tweet from Hillary Clinton.

Today is 'Childcare UNAffordability Day'!
The average MN family of four has already paid 7% of their annual income toward childcare in 2024. 7% is the amount that is considered affordable for the WHOLE year! And we've got 8 months of the year to go!

My friend Ashley was v brave to give me permission to share her experience, which is one of the most shocking, appalling stories I have ever heard. For those of you suggesting that a 15 week abortion ban is somehow a reasonable or safe compromise, (long 🧵)

Israeli forces just invaded western #Gaza city in a matter of minutes in the middle of the night.
Their machines are spreading in every neighborhood; especially in Alshifa hospital area.
There are non-stop intensive clashes in every street.

The kids just asked to borrow a beer for their leprechaun trap #blamedisney they watched Darby O’Gill and the Little People today 🍺😬🤣

My spouse tells me computers invented their own kind of math. Sounds like it doesn’t work. I think they should have stuck to the old math. The floating numbers aren’t cutting it.

*My understanding of my computer programming husband talking about his work day*

You know you’re raising Minnesotans when the 5 year old starts absolutely SOBBING when she hears Puxsawtawny Phil predict an early Spring.

I thought the whole mom telling kids to wash behind their ears was like an old tv meme until I became a mom. Babies carry stink behind those ears.

Today is the big day– Election Day is finally here!
I am tremendously appreciative of the big, broad, inclusive coalition we have all built together to make a better Minneapolis for everyone.
If you haven't yet, make sure to go out and vote! Polls close at 8pm.

Literally all of my ads on Twitter are now Republican presidential candidates or sex toys… this site is really on an epic decline

I remember my twenties when Halloween was an opportunity to dress…shall we say… *cute* — the latter half of my thirties, my only costume pre-requisite is: does it come as a pajama onesie?

🚨 Ohioans only have until TOMORROW to register to vote in November's election, which include referendums to enshrine abortion rights and legalize marijuana.

Now I don’t mean to tell these boys their business but I want to share a little history and do a little math.

The year is 2021 and Rent Stabilization is on the ballot. It’s supporters will amass a total of $200k. Opponents arrive in late September 2021 with $4 million.
