this year they really tore up every single road in south minneapolis as soon as the ground thawed

HCMC _is_ a safety net hospital; which means it covers people who do not have insurance. One of the worst, most sickening things coming out of the funding issues for it is the reveal of people who just believe that folks should die if they can't pay. I already knew they believe that.

If I had a nickel for every distant island full of penguins Trump dragged into a geopolitical crisis, I would have two nickels. Which is not a lot, but it’s still weird that it happened twice.

Maybe it’s just me but I think the mayor hosting Homan in city hall behind closed doors in violation of the separation ordinance should have been a bigger deal

Top “content” producers for Canary Mission identified: Canary Mission is a secretive pro-Zionist organization with a website that lists pro-Palestinian activists and academics and targets them for harassment and firing. Reporting by @jsweetli.bsky.social

when the world cup starts i’ll be thinking of all the europeans currently arguing with NJ locals about how lazy we are for not walking across multiple massive highways and an enormous wetland to get to metlife

the thing about the minneapolis paraphernalia law is that the literal state of minnesota has already passed this law and this would just bring city ordinance in alignment with it and yet it turns out our mayor and half the council are *more conservative* than the rest of the state

Construction for Enbridge's Line 5 oil pipeline has started in northern Wisconsin. Anishinaabe leaders are raising alarms about the threats to the water & covert police deals in the state. A rally against Line 5 is being held today in downtown St. Paul outside the Army Corps building at 4:30 pm.

i’m so tired.

adopting a female dog buddy for my male dog has opened a whole can of weird gender and sexual expectations people project upon dogs

26th and 28th Streets are getting pedestrian safety improvements. The city is installing bumpouts at intersections with Dupont and Emerson Avenues.

It wasn't just that morning. She'd been trying for ages to get help from them. Her whole family has been through so much abuse from mpd.

Police used a drone and saw Melissa Hortman wounded inside the home at 4:09am. It wasn't until 4:40am that police went inside to get her.

Anti-Data Center organizing is really ramping up especially in the South.

Abolitionists should engage more with ethical true crime creators, imo. Independent creators aren’t beholden to mainstream media copaganda, so they can call out police incompetence and brutality. This creator, MaggieMayFish, connects the dots well for a general audience: youtu.be/shhuSXQTtX4?...

nonzero chance the FBI is plugging LLMs into wiretap data under the legal theory AI alone can’t implicate 4th amendment concerns (semi-known 702 issue). or the NSA has now hard coded wiretaps across all newly built US data centers due to expanded ECSP scope. or probably both.

6:30 am: uptown turkey spotted at 36 lyn (turkeys do not know where uptown ends)

Claude is down :/ so I’m just running my sink

It's finally here!!! The first story of Project 2052--think trained Hawks destroying drones and a sex forest in prospect park! Thank you @cowbellemoo.lets.abolish.family

Yepppppp precisely These people didn't do shit about the goons, but they want you to turn your natural inclination to protect your neighbors into an unnatural drive to protect capital investments by forming toothless little morality militia.

No no no! Hennepin County Card holders I call upon you to use this service before it goes! Maybe even write a note to say you've just discovered it and love it so much. Because you will because it's great! I'm heartbroken by this news.

As of this morning, nearly 4,000 workers are on strike at one of the largest beef plants in the US. Biggest meatpacking strike in decades.

Just a friendly reminder from your local tenant's rights lawyer: in Minnesota your landlord can't make you shovel the walk (or do any sort of maintenance) unless they're directly compensating you for the work. Minn. Stat. § 504B.161, subd. 2. www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cit...

Let me just say that having been there, the idea of being a Black woman in labor in America and having to go before a judge is terrorism.

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit

A man who was shot by Connecticut police last year and later died had to wait 10 extra minutes for another ambulance to arrive at the scene, after another officer having an anxiety attack took the first one.

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?

I think we're hitting the motherload this weekend... NWS says >20" snow in MSP is "all but a certainty at this point" didn't get my hopes up initially, models been full of busts this winter, but every model been screaming this for a week with remarkable consistency #MNwx

sam altman looks so desperate in every pic I've ever seen of him, a man hoping against hope to come up with an actual business model before everything collapses on him

won't someone think of seven points? we must save our giant commercial real estate spaces from all those pesky homeless people who just need to go somewhere else, anywhere but in front of seven points!

i literally cannot cancel medicaid because i cannot get through to hennepin county. i’ve tried calling over a dozen times since january. been on hold for 90 mins this time and i need to give up soon for a work call. i’m trying to get fewer resources! there has to be a better process than this. 😵‍💫

it’s incredibly unsettling to watch white liberals & leftists triumphantly appoint themselves the leaders of post-drawdown neighborhood organizing across the city while Black & brown folks quietly burn out from pushing them to be less racist and awful

ACAB includes means testers

Anyone know anything about the new MPD substation coming soon in the Wedge area on Hennepin? Hearing from landlords that MPD has been canvassing property managers to advertise more foot policing and anti-homeless violence with the new presence.

about 30 people were arrested at whipple this morning for unlawful assembly, and many first hand reports say hennepin county sheriff's office were escalating. people were arrested when they were retreating, and people were knocked down by law enforcement

ICE was very active in Minneapolis today, they kidnapped multiple people. ICE didn't leave, the media has moved on but we are still under federal occupation.

There’s an increase of activity in and out of the Whipple building this morning. If you have capacity, please observe in your neighborhood and help alert our neighbors of any ICE presence. Jason Chavez 1/

Every agency assisting ICE is ICE.

I hate that literally everything is now packaged in zip lock bags that you have to pry apart by gripping the 1 mm of plastic margin left over

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

I miss NYC in the snow so much it hurts. Wishing them a safe blizzard today.

no government builds concentration camps without the intent to fill them. we are in the intermediate stages of an atrocity, crimes against humanity undersells what this country is building up to … and we can still stop it.

Yesterday with your help, we paid the rent for five Minneapolis immigrant families in need. Rent’s coming up, donations are down, and there’s still so much need here. Let’s help as many as we can today! V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please share and give if you can! Thank you!

Not calling anyone out but calibrate your messages to reflect two truths: 1. ICE is shifting their enforcement emphasis to the suburbs, exurbs and greater Minnesota. 2. ICE is still very much in the central cities.

I often think about the fact that if the FBI et al had not killed Fred Hampton, he would be 78 today. Younger than Jesse Jackson was. Must have felt strange to outlive many of your contemporaries by decades.

The new LGBTQNJ+

Haven Watch is the group that meets people who are being released from Whipple (usually because they were illegally detained), often without coats or phones or any way to get home.

We’re at less than 10% of the goal right now. I’ll match the next $500 in donations folks post here! Let’s make it happen for this family. Thank you 🩵
