8 outstate MN counties deciding to use sheriffs to carry out ICE enforcement, like immigrants aren't the reason a bunch of your towns didn't die. Also, the amount of tribal land near those places.... *Gently puts phone down because I did not wish to speak to any authorities*

Oh how could I forget?!

A federal judge said the federal government blew its chance to pay partial SNAP benefits and now must pay them in full. "USDA refused to use the congressionally mandated contingency funds. USDA cannot now cry that it cannot get timely payments to beneficiaries." minnesotareformer.com/2025/11/06/r...

I want to live in a world where dumpster diving isn’t necessary and where safe food isn’t in a dumpster to begin with but til then, I hope people who need it learn how to do it safely.

I’m on deadline so I can’t but one of you should definitely go meet Julius Randle today

A woman working as a cleaner was shot dead after she arrived at the wrong address for a cleaning job in Whitestown, Indiana. Police said they found the woman dead on the front porch, after responding to a call about a “possible home invasion.”

Motley and Lux are still available! Go get them!

A real A&W 1/3 pounder vs 1/4 pounder moment: 75% of people don’t know what the filibuster, so they’re just like, Trump and Republicans won last year, why isn’t the government open?

did your trump-voting parents give you grief when trump-induced travel woes caused you to miss thanksgiving? please reach out to me for a piece I'm writing

trump has really ruined an already troubled country. if I voted for him I'd sure feel like a terminal piece of shit

That’s two in the first 20 day

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

HEINEKEN is brewing beer with a massive 100 MWh heat battery

Y'all, we need to cope with the fact that a distressingly large number of people like Jacob Frey. If you've lived in MN for even a little while, especially if you've also lived somewhere more diverse than here, you know how whiteness does around here. It happened again.

"Who is MN's Mamdani??" If we're jus talking about the type of person/politician and not the office and 1:1 on every position? It's Peggy. It's currently Peggy Flanagan.

🤣🎯

With our mayor getting reelected, and showing he thinks MPD working with ICE is just fine, I’m concerned for the safety and livelihood of many of our Latine small business owners and their families. Please consider visiting these locations around the metro! Based on recommendations from you!

Four more wrongful death lawsuits

One of the things that kills me about all this is that it’s just, like, maybe ten guys.

I’d like to take the moderate path, because I’m a history major and I know what the alternatives are.

Who knew that Professor Hot Dog Larry Jacobs would be the test case proving the old adage "yard signs don't vote, bicycle signs do."

There are trans kids from all over the country that are going to harm themselves tonight, some of them may die this is what extermination politics looks like, days like today when we say Protect Trans Kids, it’s because our babies are in danger

It’s a big deal that @kayforparks.bsky.social, who is 24 years of age, won her race in District 5. She challenged the status quo and beat the sitting Vice-President of the Park Board. That is no small task. 1/

This chart serves as a reminder (to me!) to engage Ward 5 in any way possible, so they know they do not have to be bought. Together, we can overcome big money. E’s campaign is a testament to this. She spent less than half of what Warren spent and only lost by 714. Money raised w/o Frey PAC $.

“Shut up!” screamed Toad.

It's also why all of those smug european countries are pulling back on their welfare programs. They were happy to have them when they were relatively homogenous but now that they're afraid of immigrants having them - esp POC - they're scaling back

The AFL-CIO should start throwing some money towards labor journalism. If it was done right (i.e. with them accepting that journalists must have full editorial control over what’s published, whether or not union leaders like what they have to say) it could really have such a hugely positive impact

I don't disagree, but it doesn't help that Dem leaders - at the same time they're explaining how terrible GOP policies and beliefs are - go out of their way to say how important bipartisanship is to them and how much they want to work with those same terrible people.

Best commentary on Target I've seen in a while. www.startribune.com/diversity-eq...

See you this weekend. www.minnesotaorchestra.org/tickets/cale...

Davis told you that he worked with Frey in earnest, gave him a fair chance and was so repulsed by Frey’s lack of morals and ethics that he launched a campaign running against him - and yall choose that guy second against your leader of choice? What on earth?

The rank DeWayne Davis first then Frey second vote, or at all, is diabolically stupid 😆

This is Hudson. He is a strong, independent dog who boops his own snoot. 13/10 (IG: hudsonstaysgolden)

Latest Wolves--does "continuity" mean another middling half-season? Plus, Gobert is the Atlas trying to hold up the Wolves D and Ant's injury absence strengthened the case McDaniels as the 6th man. www.minnpost.com/sports/2025/...

PSA to @sithlet.bsky.social

I keep saying that Republicans are bad at math. They prove it again and again and again.

I just... I thought maybe this was a typo so I clicked the video, and he very carefully says *billion*, and folks: 135 billion is over 350 pounds per American. We're all gonna lose a Gilbert Brown in the next 1 year. I'm finna weigh -150 pounds. What a fuckin moron.

THIS IS THE THING Your sense of safety being threatened *has all happened under Frey*. More of the same is not going to change that. My god.

Yeah, I'm calling bullshit on layoffs and cost cutting being the result of AI adoption. A recession is coming, & these companies know it

A couple weeks ago a friend was telling me about someone she knew who had been on maternity leave, and said she had taken "the full year." I said, "A whole year? Wow, what kind of fancy job does she have that gives her a YEAR of leave?" and my friend looked surprised & said, "... welcome to Canada?"

This chafed throughout the entire campaign. Early on, I went to a house party for one of the others on the ballot, and they were asked about Fateh—and replied that no, bc we need someone who can cooperate, work across the aisle, etc. That is literally what Fateh has accomplished, again and again!

If you haven’t seen our first ad of the campaign, here it is:

Happy to be of service!

Two things to say: First, if you see something that doesn't look safe or comfortable on our streets, please submit it to 311 or reach out. Second, we have such an excellent PW department! Thanks to my colleagues who understood the issue here immediately and quickly devised and built a fix.

I understand 2029 will be 16 years removed from 2013. The city changes (but perhaps not as much as we think) and younger folks and yes the DSA, not center-lefties like me, should lead. But I think we ignore Hodges’ comments and paradigms at our peril.
