There is no easy fix. We need a new system. Wait time for parts--four weeks. Pray for us! https://static.klipy.com/ii/925f17378dd1893b674a723c07535afe/c4/9a/5lToI09G.gif?hh=373&ww=498&mp4=mXYg8CY9&webm=RVlMJCLoIU4v27 Jul 2026 20:39 +0000at://did:plc:ttklluv4jev4eb3mvr6eibom/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrnqwb6jvc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/lynnellmick.bsky.social/post/3mqmhg5lxec2oAnd just like that, Harry Kane is on my shit list. Kane has two little daughters, ages 8 and 9 and he thinks it’s cool to go golfing with an authoritarian rapist and pedophile?!!? Is Kane stupid, gross, shallow or a combination of the three? I have English family, but now I'm go Argentina go! https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/jul/11/england-world-cup-harry-kane-trump-golf14 Jul 2026 14:51 +0000at://did:plc:ttklluv4jev4eb3mvr6eibom/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqmhg5lxec2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/lynnellmick.bsky.social/post/3mqd46fbsf22bAmy Klobuchar voted to confirm Duffy as Sec. Of Transportation despite the fact that Duffy is an open climate-change denier, among other creepy views. But for Amy, it’s always about appearing “bi-partisan” and “centrist.” [contains quote post or other embedded content]10 Jul 2026 21:36 +0000at://did:plc:ttklluv4jev4eb3mvr6eibom/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqd46fbsf22bhttps://bsky.app/profile/lynnellmick.bsky.social/post/3mq6ktp35xc2lCertain political types excuse Graham Platner as an immature young man. But Graham is 41 Fucking Years Old. If he was a woman, he'd be considered middle-aged and Not Hot Enough. And if a woman had done one tenth of what he's been credibly accused of, she'd be considered a lunatic psychopath. 1/ https://x.com/grahamformaine/status/2075009677495058687?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2075009677495058687%7Ctwgr%5Ee8769abc150555f1ac2d080df961b176e1084fbf%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailykos.com%2Fstories%2F2026%2F7%2F8%2F800067084%2Felections%2Fgraham-platner-says-he-plans-to-withdraw-from-maine-senate-race-after-sexual-assault-claim%2F09 Jul 2026 02:15 +0000at://did:plc:ttklluv4jev4eb3mvr6eibom/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq6ktp35xc2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/lynnellmick.bsky.social/post/3mq55nbnasc2wStandard PSA: The Strib is owned by 85-year-old billionaire/and former GOP state senator Glen Taylor who said he bought the paper in 2014 to turn it in a more right-wing direction. So this op-Ed is totally on brand. In Strib world, DFLers should always be tentative, canned & cautious—just like AmyK.

We used to be the party of sex [sic] drugs and rock and roll...Now Dem women look like Dem men and Dem men look like women." Sen. Gallego may have skeletons too. Bad vibe for this guy.

If anyone has the photo, please repost!!05 Jul 2026 01:52 +0000at://did:plc:ttklluv4jev4eb3mvr6eibom/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpuhox564k2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/lynnellmick.bsky.social/post/3mpuebqyk7k2aHave had similar thought about both Swedish and Danish grandfathers. We, the descendants, would have had a better life in Sweden & Denmark. (Socialized medicine! Free speech university! Fewer evangelicals!) But I would have really missed R8B, Black Gospel, Vietnamese, Mexican & Ethiopian food.
