“Minneapolis communities deserve to be invested in, and it is the responsibility of elected officials to do so prudently. The current proposal in front of the council to spend $40 million on a Public Safety Training and Wellness Center is a want, not a need.

The Minneapolis Public Housing Authority will file evictions over $250 against the poorest, most vulnerable people in our city, but needs to spend over $40,000 on novelty cars for its employees. Sure. That pencils out.

Outside of the drab sanctuaries and interminable coffee hours of the Lutheran faith, not many know that one of the 95 Theses was actually "The Church has strayed too far from its liturgical mandate to Give Ilhan Omar a Gundam." It's been represented in many historical depictions of Luther's work

The esteemed Council Member from North Edina has chimed in.

Almost $4.0 million in cash on hand and Angie Craig can't be bothered to support interpretation services in a district with strong Somali and Spanish-speaking communities. It's not like this district is at the core of the highest turnout part of the state! Great minds at work on this one.

A BETTER WORLD IS POSSIBLE

amazing old campaign imagery

Ok this whole convention business was great but now that the Ilhan room is out of Diet Coke we have a fucking problem

We are responsible for the Minneapolis DFL chair learning what a gundam is today and I think that’s something to celebrate. Thank you to @danielsuitor.com for creating an educational opportunity for many at the SD62 convention.

not many people know this, but the words "Give Ilhan Omar a Gundam" actually appear in the Bible in that precise order

this accurately describes my politics

i do not understand this but i tentatively like it a lot

as the official spokesperson of the SD62 Give Ilhan Omar a Gundam subcaucus, I would like you to know that this is specifically an effort to give Ilhan Omar a *Gundam.* Not a Jaeger, not a Voltron, not a Powerzord. a GUNDAM

MAXIMUM JOSH SUBCAUCUS

Yesterday I opted to skip difficult ?'s, but: 25,000+ evictions filed in 2025 before impacts of ICE. When relying on mutual aid & wealthy saviors, who becomes arbiter of which evictions are most deserving to be prevented? We can prevent all of them. Billionaires should pay their fair share of taxes

SD62 DFL Convention! It's one of the most wonderful times of the year for local politics sickos.

shout-out to the guy who clocked me at Elevated, it's an odd experience and all I could think of to say was "thank you." But also, thank you.

Peggy Flanagan was a former school board member who was elected state rep in 2015 and Lieutenant Governor in 2018, which is when Angie Craig left the corporate world for Congress. Craig’s repeated claim that Flanagan, a qualified candidate, needs “training wheels” is offensive and embarrassing.

report from the sd67 convention today: another convention where angie craig got NO delegates

having local politics brain poisoning is fun* because you go to a 4-year-old's birthday party and get excited** because you realize your kid's friend lives next door to a crank infamous for setting up security cameras to record the unhoused people who use the train stop nearby and posts the footage

an angie craig sign just fell off the wall

huge reception for peggy flanagan at sd61. chants of “PEGGY! PEGGY!” started too.

i’m at washburn high school for the sd61 convention. ilhan omar for cd5 and cedrick frazier for hennepin county attorney both have signs about abolishing and prosecuting ICE

Every single sentence of these two passages gets worse. But if this opinion piece was just "Anders Folk is a partner at Jones Day," that would be enough to make him my enemy.

heaven IS a place on earth

wild that the guy who came to my attention by yelling at people for taking pictures of snow-covered deck furniture is one of the clearest-eyed voices about right-wing domination of the media

Dudes will really see this and pledge their loyalty and friendship to the brave captain of the 34-gun frigate HMS Surprise

got a reach-out from the Angie Craig campaign in advance of the SD62 convention. boy do I hope she shows up so she can hear from my neighbors!

you know, for this sort of thing I don't mind making a pickup

jacob frey running around landmarks was an ad he did both for his ward 3 city council run and his first mayoral run too. fitting we see it again for his auditioning for a US senate appointment

we gotta get 2 Kings in front of some Hollywood execs, I promise we can get a Jason Statham vehicle titled JEHU: BOOK OF JUDGMENT greenlit in 25 minutes

MPD already hogs so much of our city budget. There are other training facilities in the Metro. Why do we need a >$40 million dollar boondoggle here?

Mayor Frey is once again attempting to push through $38 million for an MPD “cop city” training center–on top of the nearly $100 million Minneapolis is already spending on building renovations for MPD. This money should instead be put into supporting our communities reeling from ICE's occupation.

angie craig drove all the way down to mankato for a DFL convention, got heckled over the laken riley act and AIPAC, AND got 0 delegates brutal. this campaign is crashing and burning

Minneapolis Leftists: I could be interviewed by Isaac Chotiner no problem. He'd be impressed with my incisive wit. Minneapolis Leftists, a second later with a microphone in front of their face: I'm a nobody. A dipshit. A dirtbag.

HEY Y’ALL are you super mad about people being kidnapped and/or renditioned by the federal government, want to do something about it, but aren’t a lawyer? See below!

I think this is the closest I've ever gotten to articulating my animating belief system.

It took a while to grapple with my Irish heritage, largely because I'm from New England where Irish pride can sometimes be a strange, curdled thing. But this was a huge moment for me. A friend took us off our route for a view of the Statue of Liberty and we happened across the Irish Hunger Memorial

oh god PLEASE send me new grads, I am literally begging the U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota to hire new grads to stare down the barrel at the horde of pissed-off litigators currently besieging their office

always good to hear from a fan!

I gotta get an update on the F-150 Index

So not only are MN corporations like Delta refusing to stand with us against ICE they're actually profiting off the ongoing occupation of the Twin Cities.

I loved both the movies. Incredible feats of cinema. But I think the one that should've won is whatever one makes you like me the most.

just purchased a ticket to SINNERS for Juneteenth

Good morning, woke up thinking about the "Soldier Boy" needle drop in One Battle After Another again. I will not countenance the backlash to this film or Teyana Taylor's work in it. Far beyond.
