was he not on the credentials committee for Ward 2?????

Like every mf that’s been forced into our public consciousness via him since 2016 has been wack as hell. No swag, unfunny, zero bitches, clearly hated by everyone they’ve ever met, no homies, weird smile, probably fuckin stink and go to hotel breakfasts barefoot and drink milk. You know they type

it cannot be overstated that, if you usually tune out of the midterms, next year is not the time to make that choice. they will be putting our democracy to the test.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

A week ago it looked like they'd found their Horst Wessel, then they got absolutely rinsed by Disney Adults. The most defeatable fascists in history, fuck 'em all

The story of this election is downtown business owners and suburban landlords trying to meddle in a majority renter city in order to be allowed to exploit us for more money. Fuck that.

The Becka Thompson residency dispute, and the other ones like it, show that the centrists and their donor class hold Minneapolis in total contempt. Rules are for suckers, community means nothing, you don't deserve better, shut up and vote how we tell you or the communists will let you get crimed.

Is there anyone going to the @mplsforthemany.com event on Sunday who might be able to pick up an extra rank-all-three yard sign for me? I'm unlikely to be able to attend but very much want one of those signs.

Reposting with alt-text If this statue comes down, there needs to be crowd funding to make another, bc it's brilliant 😂

Park Board to improve next week.

For real, fuck ICE. Every single one of them needs to be fired and become utterly unhireable. A good portion need to be prosecuted.

these are VERY important school board races

Trump's numbers are collapsing across the board and yet these guys are racing to tell us who we need to throw overboard to win white independents

I try to remember that while they were fighting the ban on gender affirming care for minors here, one of the (trans) lawyers did a thread reminding folks that they're really good at making this feel like an overwhelming groundswell, but it is one clown car of debunked experts on a road trip.

My favorite version of 007? Obviously Janelle Monáe on the rap section of Q.U.E.E.N. Peep the beat switch too 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾

You don't have to do things perfectly or happily today. You can also do them out of spite!

This is a good article, showing the Roberts Court as a source of quite a lot of our collective cynicism and anger about government.

A competent party would be looking for Mamandi's all over the country. Charasmatic, passionate young people who love the place they live and can really connect with the people there. But then they might be forced to take any sort of stand on anything.

FDR won 42 states in 1932, it wasn't by pandering to Hoover voters. Then Republicans called him a socialist for 4 years. Then he ran for reelection and won 46 states

Maybe it will happen today

1896!!!!

The Minnesota #Lynx announce that DiJonai Carrington will miss the rest of the season with her left foot injury. A tough blow for Carrington and the Lynx.

They are so damn weird. This is such bizarre, weirdo behavior.

I know the assassination amps things up a bit but considering the extreme side of the political spectrum Kirk occupied, this is a little like Obama going to a Chapo guy memorial. Except he wouldn’t be allowed in.

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

what a haunting call

Strib‘s packaging as usual isn’t really clear about what Susan Du’s story is saying, but it’s basically a colossal failure of the Frey administration to spearhead working with other jurisdictions on Lake Street. The folks are awful at collaboration! www.startribune.com/lake-street-... (no paywall)

A lot of the democrats in power remind me of lazy and bad parents who are not interesting in parenting, they just want peace and quiet. None of those should be re-elected.

No one should get violent threats. But if you’re gonna change your vote because of it, you should resign. I’Ve been getting violent threats all week and not only do I have no intention of shutting up, I think it’s evidence that we need to say it louder

Get in, get your dumbass conservative/suburban donors to buy you some slick new threads, and get out. Admire the hustle.

After almost eight years, Mayor Frey’s failed approach to encampments is harming everyone in our communities. In an open letter to Mayor Frey, Cat Salonek Schladt highlights the impact of Frey’s “unwillingness to provide health, sanitation and trash services to our unhoused neighbors.”

There's a lot of gray area in the Determination of Residence statute. But one thing is clear - you can only have one residence, for purposes of election law. Becka either lives in Park District 2 or in Ward 12. Can't be both.

I will never not have multiple lightning-to-phono dongles in drawers in my home and office. I refuse to use headphones any more expensive than the Sony earbuds with a microphone and pause button. That's where I top out. Not trying to get comfortable with Bluetooth pairing.

"Our industry faces the most sophisticated, venomous, creeping evil in America’s history. There’s no standing above this conflict. No impartial observers. If you’re on the sidelines you’ve made a choice and must live with it." -—Dan Gilroy

Tammy Baldwin remains the highest-WAR Senator. I don't want to hear shit about centrists when a soft-spoken lesbian from the most obnoxiously liberal college town in the country can have a near-perfect voting record and still get reelected on the same ballot as Trump in a state he won twice.

Richard Carlbom, Chair of the MN DFL, has finally responded to us about the transphobia at last week's Feminist Caucus meeting. It's fair for me to be kinda pissed off about this kind of response, right?

I cannot emphasize enough how unhelpful it is to make the joke or comment — I’ve been guilty of making it at times myself — that this is conservative “cancel culture,” it’s not. It’s an authoritarian, cultish, censorship project run by the most powerful people in the federal government…

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

US Congress honors Charlie Brown's legacy of hoes.

This is the resolution that every Minnesota Democrat in Congress except for the principled CD5 Rep. Ilhan Omar approved

@dewayneforminneapolis.com just stopped in to the gym to check on the Hi-Lake businesses and neighbors that got no info or help from the city on encampment response. It was all DSA and neighborhood help. Minneapolis, you got a real one. 3 good choices, be sure to get your folks out to vote!

If you’re a swing voter right now you’re stupid as shit and have no redeeming qualities

In the Strib voter guide Brian Strahan says his neighborhood is Logan Park. Close, but not quite. His Ward 3 home where he has voted from as recently as January of this year is Sheridan neighborhood. The duplex his wife owns in Ward 1 is Windom Park. Lying so much he can’t get his story straight.

It's going to be like the "you were mean to Mitt Romney" bs, but much worse.

so far emily koski has only said she is ranking jazz hampton #1 and not her full ballot where omar fateh and dewayne davis will land, BUT she spoke at the rally for change this week so clearly is ranking them all

#OnThisDay Sept 19, 1970: Mary Richards throws her hat into the air in front of Dayton's on the Nicollet Mall for the first time, as the ground breaking Mary Tyler Moore Show begins a 7 season run. The Writer's Guild of America ranks it 6th best written television series of all time.

it’s the first day of early voting in minneapolis. i hope you will be ranking omar fateh, dewayne davis, and jazz hampton for mayor. it’s time for new leadership @omarfatehmn.com @dewayneforminneapolis.com @jazzformayor.bsky.social

What makes a kid cry? Being made fun of and called a loser, not getting invited to the cool kids' birthday parties, being told what a wittle baby they're being. What quickly changes the behavior of children? Being stopped, being punished, losing privileges or things they like. Consistency. Actions

Wonder what it'll do for National Guard morale having to clean graffiti and feces off this every day.

One of those things I have to believe in order to keep going is that we will, in the future, get to see JD Vance's facial expression as a judge reads his tweets back to him.
