Thorough video analysis of federal immigration agents on a rampage, being shockingly incompetent, inciting chaos, hurting people who did nothing wrong. youtu.be/9ws1r6CaSXs?...

hyperlocal news you won’t hear on @wedge.live since it’s out of his reporting district… Bridge 9 is still not re-opened. They are running a bit behind. Trucks are on bridge, so decking seems complete, but railings missing in many places. This is karmic payback for early Stone Arch reopening

A google news search for DeWayne Davis shows that just three weeks after the Minneapolis mayoral election, a different Dwayne Davis attacked a barber when he became "upset over the outcome" of a haircut.

Kathy is a YouTube fiend. She's deep in the Minneapolis algorithm.

28 minutes of classic Minneapolis footage in a 1974 film focused on housing and living conditions near Loring Park and downtown.

I'm still very skeptical, but it would be fun to see the charter commission pick all these fights at once.

I'm not familiar with whatever this news program is, but I'd like to appropriate the random sunglasses effect for my own guests.

Sorry, this was the headline I intended to use in a fear mongering reddit post in a local subreddit.

New policy on youth interrogation from the Hennepin County Attorney's Office is prompting fears that top prosecutor Mary Moriarty may be trying to tie the hands of her successor into rejecting false confessions police have coerced from children. www.hennepinattorney.org/news/news/20...

Each time I've been hired by the City of Minneapolis, I've had to watch an ethics training about not using city resources for outside purposes, like taking a fire truck home to use on a friend's wedding. I've always wondered whether cops watch that same citywide training or get a special version

This post has been declared "top local analogy" in all the end of year roundups.

One of the great public works ironies: the county can spend a bunch of money to fix a terrible intersection, install a median, reduce traffic from 4 lanes to 2—but if that fucking smoke shop never shovels, you're still risking your neck by walking this route to the grocery store.

Getting to the point in the snowfall/mashdown/melt/freeze cycle where property owners who've taken no action to shovel should be eligible for aggravated assault charges.

Hard to believe Jason Garcia was elected park board commissioner while giving double middle fingers to the wealthiest, encroachingest voters in the district.

Tired of children catching all the breaks. Finally something for those of us old enough to appreciate a deal.

that property is in photos 1, 3 (we're on the patio here), and 4 here from our @wedge.live cedar lake encroachment walk bsky.app/profile/tayl...

Touching words from the superintendent who approved the massive boulder wall and private patio for the mansion owner at 34 Park Lane. Perhaps the largest encroachment ever allowed on park land in Minneapolis. gbdmagazine.com/minneapolis-...

Chief O'Hara is saying all the right things about the current out of control federal immigration enforcement. But where is Sheriff Witt? She have any thoughts? Unlike O'Hara, she's an elected official, accountable to no boss other than voters.

Taylor is investigating the lies of Minneapolis traffic control.

Cashman wants another meeting.

Point of contention among the progressive faction last night was the funding source for housing vouchers. The budget passed last week had an ongoing funding source. The deal reached by the mayor & council leadership, then approved by council, only has temporary funding for those vouchers ($1m/year)

We just uncovered embarrassing footage Aisha Chughtai doesn't want you to see. Michael Rainville's heartfelt testimonial: "I just wanted to speak to my gratitude for Chair Chughtai. I voted for you for Budget Chair because I trust your judgment and you led us through this process."

Here's Council Member Cashman last night anticipating the tactic. She wanted to adjourn "so the mayor and his staff have time to veto any ordinances" because it's the council's last scheduled meeting of the year. Which means they have no opportunity to override.

Yes. They were asking for this outcome.

I don't believe anyone failed to anticipate this tactic from Mayor Frey.

Part of this budget deal was to satisfy the mayor's sacred non-negotiable: making sure there's not a single job cut in his office.

Post your crustiest plow berm bus stops.

This is what we're dealing with in the transit hinterland of Bloomington, MN.

Look how happy they are. It feels like it was only yesterday she was on stage at a Wedge-based music festival making rude comments about him.

In the old days we understood that a budget passed by the council and signed by the mayor was worth something. But now you have to get the mayor to double promise he'll try very hard to enact it. lims.minneapolismn.gov/Download/Fil...

18 minute layover gives us just enough time to do everything you'd ever want to do in Big Lake, MN.

Hiring someone from the Hill and Lake Press is what an Elizabeth Shaffer parody would do.

The abandoned Home Depot rental truck is gone from Lyndale Ave. All that's left is this snow crater.

Unknown person in the Wedge soliciting voice messages: "leave a message telling me about a weird dream you had."

Vigilante chased down and subdued a Popeye's bag.

Guerrilla Urbanism: for as little as $29, a Home Depot rental truck, or several, is a great way to chicane your street.

Is the old "papers, please" cliche still the universal symbol of fascist tyranny? Because the US-born son of a congresswoman was racially profiled by federal agents on a Target run, forced to produce his passport. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...
