MIRAC delivered over a thousand signatures today to Mayor Frey to demand no cooperation nor coverup with ICE

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

Haven't watched this yet but apparently Becketwood had a mayoral forum with Jazz, Omar, DeWayne, and Jacob, and moderator Tane Danger would repeat questions until he got an actual answer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulTA...

The Strib got a week's worth of text complaints to Metro Transit -- 74 in total -- & published the 3 worst ones. Is 74 a lot? 10 complaints per day for the 2 light rail lines, which see 40K daily riders, seems pretty good to me actually. (.025% complaint rate.) www.startribune.com/metro-transi...

An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

CB is a troll at heart, so I try not to get baited. But I can't believe our "moderate" DFLers have their own alpha news style documentary and have pre-injected voter fraud into the city election conversation. It's glorious. Federal troops will be greeted as liberators I guess?

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

ICE just gassed a group a civilians near the Rico Fresh supermarket intersection on Armitage in Chicago - bystanders say this was in response for being heckled from the street.

I'm proud to have called the Northside home since Kareem and I moved here 12 years ago. I've been working on issues my neighbors care about – housing, liveable wages, community safety – since I got here, and I'll continue that work as mayor. mynorthnews.org/stories/2025...

Dear neighbor,  I want to send my deep condolences to Mariah Samuels, her family, and the Northside. On September 14, 2025, Mariah was shot and killed. She was the victim of domestic violence and deserves justice. 1/

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

Major commotion as IL state cops shove back crowds trying to stop an ICE vehicle. I was grabbed and shoved repeatedly while filming the incident.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov you've inspired people to push back on ICE and protect their neighbors, but your state police are using violence against peaceful protestors at an ICE detention facility. Why?

I love when student journalists break a crazy story, especially about their own school. This one is extraordinarily macabre. www.uscannenbergmedia.com/2025/10/01/u...

moments ago: pandemonium. a huge mass of border patrol agents, led by greg bovino, pushed the crowd of protesters and started grabbing people at random. leading up to this, folks were just calmly standing in the grass, following isp’s orders. multiple people detained. no clue how many.

Davis Moturi email to city council, read aloud by CM Wonsley Wednesday. Sees similarity between his case & Mariah Samuels: "A black person in fear for their lives, and a department who can't be bothered to forward a case for consideration of charges in our time of greatest need."

PR guys aren't documentary filmmakers (Kupchella) or debate moderators (Blwah). Their job is pushing their clients' point of view.

No amount of landlords whining about city council will ever make me hate this city. I love it for the people who are actually trying to make things better for everyone. The people who do care are fighting against literal billionaires and we lose a lot but we are trying.

if you weren’t paying attention in 2014, look up “pointergate” to see why KSTP has long been a problem!

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

I watched the whole thing (huge pain tolerance for ingesting bad media), and every "solution" involves lower corporate tax rates, deregulation, and punching left. It's the same old project, nothing new here.

New: Apple just removed ICEBlock, the app for reporting sightings of ICE, from its App Store after DOJ pressure. ICEBlock's developer tells 404 Media "we are determined to fight this." "Capitulating to an authoritarian regime is never the right move." www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

Something is wrong in the "moderate" DFL universe when the new norm is taking money from Trump megadonors, running a coalition of candidates propped up by millions from PACs, and participating in this Minneapolis-bashing propaganda doc to be aired on Hubbard-owned KSTP.

yes. she’s part of the follow up to “a precarious state” they are working on as well, which is supposed to be the city focused one, even though we can all see the one coming out BEFORE the city election is actually minneapolis focused, not state, they just think you’re stupid

That’s not good

We don’t know who funded Kupchella’s commercial, which is part of the problem. Hubbard is a generous funder of right-wing stuff, but while I don’t have any inside info, I’d bet on the station just selling him the time. They’ll probably make more money pre-empting 911: Sob Stories 😂

Okay we all know about how Rick Kupchella is airing this secretly-funded propaganda movie about how Minneapolis sucks (it’s NOT the two-term Mayor’s fault!!!) - but did we know that it will prominently feature local crackpot and conspiracy theorist Carol Becker?!

Another Frey-PAC backed candidates getting money from McDonald's franchise owners from out of state. Are they trying to overturn the drive-through ban?

They raided an entire apartment complex. Broke down all the doors. Dragged people outside. Zip tied them and separated them by race.

After 8 years of failed promises on everything from police reform to homelessness Minneapolis cannot afford a third term of Jacob Frey. Luckily, we don’t have to! Check out what your neighbors are saying in our new mayoral video.

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

Far too many people in the US are already totally untethered from reality. Enter AI:

Friendly reminder that Minneapolis changed its billing system for water payments and did a terrible job telling people, so your automatic payments might not be going through.

“Frey still felt the need to wave around his veto pen” is the perfect summation of our worse-than-useless mayor. Another great letter by @elitalksmpls.bsky.social in today’s Strib

"In 2012, 60 trans-related articles were published by Britain’s media. By 2022, it was more than 7,500, according to figures from Trans Media Watch. The media is not responding to public rage against vulnerable minorities; it is helping to create it." www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/709...

if there's one sentence I could bang into the heads of all the Kleins, Yggys, etc desperately searching for the perfect policy appeasement, it's this one: "They might reason that this is not a problem that can be addressed by policy concessions because policy is not what is causing it."

This is simultaneously not an especially radical theological belief and, politically speaking (especially in the U.S. context), quite a thing for Pope Leo to say. www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/266859/...

enrique velazquez, director of regulatory services, acknowledged to me in 2023 that an inspector assigned to loring park was calling landlords & telling them which tenants reported them, going against their confidentiality policy i knew who to escalate this issue up to, how many tenants don’t?

this is fuckin inspiring, man. it is so cool to see a superstar talent in a position of union leadership sticking her neck out to make such a measured but incisive statement
