Israel has killed nine paramedics in just 72 hours in southern Lebanon and it’s business as usual. Now imagine the outrage if that was nine Israeli paramedics. The entire world would be screaming and condemning it as terrorism.

"There is no thriving Uptown without its artists and workers, and these people deserve to be a part of a neighborhood where they can afford to live on minimum wage." YES. we have been been squeezing out the soul of uptown as we price these people out!

hey so lots going on i know but this right here is a whole fucking slow motion ongoing tragedy

We're drinkin' union beers this month.

This is what Ben Gvir excitedly posts online for the whole world to see of international activists trying to help Palestinians, imagine the brutally sick things they do to Palestinians that the world ignores. Israel is a terrorist state.

Is it that cops are so bad at detecting and preventing and solving the absolute worst kinds of crime that they can work alongside an active pedophile for 12 years, IN INTERNAL AFFAIRS, again FOR TWELVE YEARS, completely unaware of the truth, or is it ACAP Or is it both

@wedge.live sorry if I missed but have you announced the day for the cat tour?

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

We saw two weeks of coverage over “fiery tensions” at City Hall. Will we see anything about the Chief of Police being completely unable to account for a $20M+ overspend of their budget?

chughtai points out that other city departments who don’t have money for travel do a gift acceptance letter and get the vendor to pay for travel, or try other ways. it concerns her that MPD is doing this. “the road to $20 million overage is paved bit by bit.”

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

If you live in Minneapolis-St. Paul and you aren't subscribed to Racket, why not?

With permission from one of my habeas clients, I can share that the Bloomington Police Department is proactively cooperating with ICE to detain our neighbors. This is a screenshot of official ICE records which show that a BPD officer reached out to ICE to drop a dime on someone in local custody.

The @nytimes.com describing Hegseth clearly and objectively violating the Hatch Act this way, is why you were right to cancel your subscription. Is this speaking truth to power?

Holy shit

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

On the 17 to NE - so funny sharing the bus with people who only use public transit once or twice a year. Glad they are using it instead of driving, but so many block the back exit instead of sitting in open seats next to a stranger

Happy Caturday

How many 0-1 car households are subsidizing largely much wealthier 2-3 car households? Tab fees aren't even that much! This is a drop in the bucket compared to all the other car costs people pay! This is absurd.

NEW: Mayo Clinic, the massive U.S. hospital network, is using what it describes as “Ambient Listening” to record patient interactions with nurses, including in emergency rooms, then using AI to process that collected data.

The City’s own survey results showed the community found that Rise & Remember's proposal was most closely aligned with their values and garnered the most strongly positive reactions overall. 1/

Good morning. The city of Minneapolis is planning to launch a pilot program for Drone First Responders, partnering with Skydio, a company who sent drones to Israel to support them in carrying out genocide. These drones, designed for surveillance, will be “responding” to 911 calls.

There are discussions, rules, and PSAs all over municipal social media sites about controlling and regulating ebikes in our cities, but every single day something like this happens with car violence and no one bats an eye.

It's the only place Netanyahu regularly gives interviews to. The government gives it special benefits. It's skyrocketed in popularity. Inside the TV Network Pumping 'Genocide' Into Israeli Homes: zeteo.com/p/inside-the...

People regularly attempt to murder people with a dangerous weapon and because it's a car it's framed as impatience or annoyance, instead of the deeply dangerous, violent behavior that it is.

The answer is always trains.

It’s very clear the city of Minneapolis is illegally withholding information from data requests. Many residents have submitted requests to city contact with DHS and ICE only to come up empty handed.

The Tennessee Speaker of the House will remove all Democratic Caucus members from standing committees and subcommittees as punishment for their redistricting protests. Democracy dies in Nashville.

Hiiii Minneapolis how do you feel about the cops? The independent monitor for the settlement agreement wants to know

Minnesota’s largest safety-net hospital, Hennepin County Medical Center is on the verge of shutting down. GOP cuts to Medicaid are leading to hospital closures across the country. We can’t let that happen to HCMC. Here’s #MyHCMCStory

Israel is using dogs to rape Palestinians. There's multiple testimonies. When I first reported on this obscenity, it triggered a firestorm. The New York Times has now, finally, reported on it - and Israel's systematic use of sexual violence. New post: www.owenjones.news/p/new-york-t...

Yet again, the disparity in “justice” between white collar crime and street crime, a man stole $400k in taxes and got 90 days of community service and a fine of less than $4k. www.startribune.com/top-twin-cit...

I asked Virginia State Senate leader Scott Surovell why Republicans always seem to find a way around such procedural obstacles whereas Dems are so often stymied by them. The exchange got interesting: newrepublic.com/article/2102...

Ever happy to blame the workers. Is it the real estate speculators driving up costs? The food suppliers with a functional monopoly on a supply chain? Never! It’s those greedy workers demanding a fair shake. www.startribune.com/higher-pay-f...

A Minnesota Star Tribune-KFF Health News investigation of hospital data and charity care programs shows most Minnesota hospitals provide little financial aid to patients and often make assistance difficult to get.

My reporting finds that sexual violence against Palestinians by Israeli authorities is widespread. I'm grateful to these assault victims for sharing with me the brutality they endured. Whether we're pro-Israel or pro-Palestinian, we should unite in being anti-rape. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

NEW: ChatGPT advised the FSU shooter that a mass shooting would get more attention from media if it involved several children, according to a new lawsuit against OpenAI www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Klobuchar giving an assist to the Minnesota Republican Party. Useless. The moderates are useless.

I'll just note that critical race theory predicts quite a lot about the current racial retrenchment and for being *correct* it was pilloried in the press and by some academics.

The Trump regime has released their 2026 counter-terrorism strategy, declaring their focus will be on "identifying and neutralizing pro-transgender groups", comparing them (us) to cartels and Islamic terrorists, in order to "defend the homeland".

It's truly crazy how much lying we tolerate in the corporate world.

Worth noting that this *never* used to happen and now it's normal. sahanjournal.com/climate-envi...

Happening in Tennessee right now:

This story is fucking crazy. With $3 million we could rent 220 studio apartments at market rate for an entire year in Minneapolis. Even if we aren’t going to do the morally correct thing by abolishing them, we have to at least defund these clowns.
