They’re still taking 25-30 of our neighbors every week. Quietly.

Write the charter commission a polite email of thanks and a note to stop fucking around. WE'VE GOT THEM ON THE RUN!!! KEEP PUSHING!!

I had my closure CT & bone scans for breast cancer treatment last week, mirrors of my scans Dec 2023 when treatment began. Everything’s clear. My onco gave me an A+ & said don’t come back til September Attending this online show=a great way to help me celebrate So’s scheduling your next mammogram

“I feel like we’re at [this] fulcrum point right now, this really interesting moment where there’s actually some accountability that district leaders are taking, and certain board members are pushing them to take, I want that to continue,” Gibney said.

I don't only think that college should be FREE but I think young people should also receive living stipends while in school. Finally, I do not care what they major in because education needs to actually BE DECOUPLED from a future job. You are welcome. You should have 4 years to study anything.

NEW EPISODE on millcityhall.com! The Charter Commission must be destroyed? Robin thinks so… We discuss democracy, and how pernicious it is to have a paternal, judicial body weaponized by one political faction. Public hearing on this bad proposal is Wed, May 6! Details in show notes

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty notes law enforcement has sent her ZERO referrals for the Youth Auto Theft Initiative, and chargeable vandalism cases aren't being referred to her office. This is all just copaganda hype unless they arrest people and charge them; there is no deterrent.

never has minneapolis needed to celebrate the sun coming more than at the end of winter 2026. ICE are not gone completely, but we still won, and it was incredibly cathartic to see this ceremony at mayday about protecting our neighbors, grounding why we did this work. i love this city

This is the very most correct take

I gotta hand it to the republicans, the old Minnesota flag shit really does trigger the lib in me.

Hey Friends! I announced in last week's livestream that we were switching to Wednesdays at 9pm Eastern for the foreseeable future. Tomorrow it's just going to be little old me! Here's the link for tomorrow's stream: youtube.com/live/foLY4Xx...

If you aren't yet listening to @tylermcbrien.com's excellent podcast from @ajc.com, you really should be!

Today is my Birthday, and I’m celebrating today because this week, Minnesota announced the largest wage theft settlement in the history of the state.

Fresh audio only of my latest pod interview, which I really enjoyed. “The rabbit hole in me recognizes the rabbit hole in you” lol Plz give host Keegan a follow on YT and here @liamcrowe.bsky.social youtu.be/_P9yVFLfK_I?...

The US is a heavily-armed society going through an almost-unprecedented crisis of legitimacy. It doesn't need conspiracies for there to be a bunch of assassination attempts on a historically-unpopular president.

At No Kings, I said something to the effect of, “silent businesses, complicit institutions, and cowardly politicians keep failing us.” I was thinking about Delta Air Lines, our airport authority, and, well, many of our local politicians. Minnesota deserves better.

Today, I toured Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) and met with its dedicated staff. We discussed the vital role HCMC plays as our state’s only public safety-net hospital—serving patients from across Minnesota and the upper Midwest regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay.

We must be willing to fully acknowledge the harm in order to speak honestly about the damage caused by our federal government—and then move with urgency toward action. #mnleg www.insightnews.com/opinion/colu...

US data centers consume 5-8% of US electricity generation (!) and generates $25 billion in external environmental costs www.nber.org/papers/w35100

Commentary: Cities Church’s distortion of the teachings of Jesus goes much deeper than Easterwood’s hypocrisy in claiming to be a follower of Jesus while ignoring his teaching. minnesotareformer.com/2026/04/21/c...

so let’s recap: they knew he was a suspect, they stopped him in between attacks, let him go and then did not respond timely to the Hortman’s being shot in their home. where is the accountability? there are people who share the responsibility of these tragic deaths.

"How can we connect with working-class voters?" "Maybe we could just stand up against the industry that's making them poorer, sicker and less likely to find good employment?" "Meh."

Space taken up by two bike riders shopping for groceries vs one car driver.

it is fascinating how in Minneapolis politics centrists are not held to any productivity or competence standard. the irony of them trotting out "getting stuff done" as a reason for centrism is laughable.

And this continues to have been a giant effing mistake. If there’s one thing that Boy Mayor excels at, it's demonstrating his complete and utter inability to handle a crisis of any variety. 😱

Gonna stream for patreon tomorrow at 2pm CT+planning Bandcamp Live a month from now. Meanwhile, getting more songs ready for wider release…cuz we need things to look forward to. If you’d like to join the wee circus: www.patreon.com/sjtuckermusic Free listens & more: sjtucker.bandcamp.com #musicSky

Important to know, re HCMC funding. Care for people, or corporate welfare.

My take on the "Stancil/Economy" discourse is this; a large percentage of people do not want to be part of a modern market economy. It feels bad and empowers huge jerks. Every year more of our experiences become directly mediated by capital and become measurably worse in the process.

We don’t need to look far to see how bathhouses can be important venues that serve communities in many different ways. The Duluth Family Sauna has been operating since the 1920s, and serves a broad range of people.

The same week the NYTimes was devoting its significant resources to producing this ridiculous piece about Lauren Sanchez Bezos's call for rich people to not worry and be happy, Ryan Hass, an independent journalist in Oregon, was investigating this horrifying story about a death in an Amazon plant.

Can I recommend community theatre where you can engage in traditional hobbies of Building Stuff and Sewing Stuff and, if you are an actor type, you can yell all you want

If you are not livestreaming the presentation of the city’s alternative revenues study you are missing a barn burner. This is like the Oscars-Super Bowl-Met Gala for me and Steve Brandt. www.youtube.com/live/OiB7t5r...

Centrists: he didn't pull the Genocide Lever this time! Hahahahaha TACO! This is going to tank his poll numbers. Me:

Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.

Once again Minnesota Democrats in both chambers prevented harmful anti-trans legislation from moving forward. Huge appreciation to our Queer Caucus members and to so many allies who spoke their heart and made clear that Minnesota will continue to stand by our values.

Iranian musician Ali Ghamsari has staged a sit-in outside the Damavand power plant in protest against US and Israeli threats to target vital infrastructure. Ghamsari said he would remain at the site and play music there in the hope of helping prevent attacks on Iran’s energy facilities.

About a week ago, union baristas & allies participated in No Kings rallies nationwide and shared what we're up against at Starbucks. Corporate greed makes everything worse - but we know when we stand together, change is possible. Until we win a contract, DELETE THE STARBUCKS APP off your phone!

I am a senior citizen who regularly enjoys an electric cargo bike for her daily transportation needs. I challenge each of you to buy a bike or a trike, electric or not, and to ignore your cars and trucks as often as possible. Total reliance on gasoline and giant vehicles is WAR + DEATH COMPLICITY.

It's weird that I had to write a whole thing that amounts to "Executive Branch Appointments Should Be Subject to Legislative Branch Confirmation." I shouldn't have to compose such an argument. The Minneapolis Charter Commission is out of control. Tell them to stop.

you have to laugh because it hurts too much to cry

An incredible anthem from some of the most generous musicians I've ever met :)

It’s not just Ms. Rachel. The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention. Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.
