25x as much on police as on public housing. Can't imagine public housing being allowed to go more than $20M over budget 2 years in a row without holy hell being raised.

Stripping the MPLS DFL endorsement from Sen Fateh was a corrupt move by the DFL establishment and it was clear as day.

Thanks for having me on, John! I hope people understand that the Lyndale Ave Reconstruction fight isn't really about bike lanes at all. It's about a small minority of wealthy business owners obstructing vital infrastructure upgrades in order to protect their short term profits.

I really have no idea what to make of the embrace of Chris Rabb by SOR et al. Of course I'm glad that running DSA candidates in D primaries is now completely hegemonic within DSA. But you also have to worry about how divorced from reality the analysis is

This is one of the reasons “we can’t run AOC” makes zero sense. The gop accused Bill Clinton of being a secret communist! They said Obamacare was socialism! The underlying policy just doesn’t matter, they’ll always make this attack. So why don’t we run someone who believes in things?

Year over year real hourly wages fell for the first time in three years. The CPI grew 3.8% in April, beating out nominal wage growth and leading to a 0.2% fall in real wages. Accelerating price inflation is the real culprit but decelerating nominal wage growth indicates a weakening labor market.

Beating Donald Trump isn’t enough, argue the Democratic Socialists of America’s cochairs. A united left-labor campaign in 2028 could mobilize millions, challenge Democratic Party failure, and put a working-class program on the national stage.

Staggering for the lack of protection and production. During Occupation Metro Surge they literally ignored calls for help and protection. Literally told folks there was nothing they could do for you, despite them being grossly overfunded.

MPD paid out over $3 million to officers for more than 85,000 hours of standby overtime been Jan 7 and Feb 22. Standby overtime compensates officers for "remaining available to respond" within 60 minutes.

Council Members Shaffer, Rainville, Vetaw, Palmisano, and Warren just voted to try and stop the City Council from even considering a moratorium on data centers in Minneapolis. Apparently some supposed DFLers are so captured by corporate interests they’re pro data centers now. Appalling.

There is a lot of talk about re-appointment of city officials, so I wanted to talk about it. I voted against re-appointing Public Safety Commissioner Barnette because I take my role of oversight seriously, and we deserve leaders who are tracking and being responsible with taxpayer dollars.
