Photos from St. Paul today captured by MPR photojournalist Kerem Yücel. He filed them even after being hospitalized after being injured by a less lethal munition.

KSTP meteorologist posting AI videos on Twitter of what he says is what Minneapolis will look like if his forecast is correct is really something… not a valid weather news source going forward imo

The democrats are absolute political sharp shooters for their own feet. Never miss a shot, blasting their own toes off one by one.

I'm going to have entirely too much fun with this.

Introduce yourself with the last 5 concerts you saw - DEVO - Viagra Boys - Nine Inch Nails - "Weird Al" Yankovic - CAKE

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

“How can anyone believe in the ethics of the DFL when someone like this can remain in multiple party leadership positions, especially one determining appropriate conduct in the party?” taylordahlin.com/f/the-dfls-c...

Not the first time.

Did Underage Girls Ruin Politics? Tomorrow in the @nytimes.com

Boo hiss

Every time she comes up, I remind you all that Pamela Paul killed a pro trans paragraph in a review I wrote for the New York Times, lied about it in the press, then when I confronted her with receipts, said “Let’s keep this to ourselves.”

Great work to whomever put up these signs around the Franklin / Hiawatha fence labyrinth.

Jacob Frey: The Republican's Candidate #DontRankFrey

If Frey had to withstand a quarter of the scrutiny Fateh is facing this election, people would have marched him out of the city with pitchforks and torches. #dontrankfrey

Furthermore public transit teaches you how to live with temporary minor annoyances and cars teach you that you're god's most special baby and your moment-to-moment comfort is the only important thing in the world

This awesome little update came with my ballot! Def signing up for this, I love what the city does to make voting easy & accessible. PS mail-in ballots already needed ri br mailed, so if you still have yours you'll need to drop it off or contact Elections & Voter Services to vote in-person on 11/4!

the absolute funniest demographic chart maintained by the City of Minneapolis is its map of divorced dudes (they're all in Downtown West)

“i’m tired of being told jacob frey is progressive. he’s happy to lie to national media about minneapolis’ progress…the only way we will get a fair deal for the roof depot is if we fight back” says michael of climate justice committee

Gift link: @hsilsbee.bsky.social and @elitalksmpls.bsky.social get political in @racketmn.com! Come for their thoughts, stay for an illustration of the problem from the Solcana fitness owner.

This is something to send to anyone on the fence or in any way part of the “he isn’t that bad” camp. Fernando has clearly *had it*.

A list of people not to vote for, Minneapolis Edition:

Davis is my #1 pick and I think he should be yours, too.

Glad to see Minnesota giving Kristi Noem the warm welcome she deserves.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

average day in american politics be like:

Remembering nearly a decade ago when folks were admonishing people about how punching nazis made you "just as bad as them" while platforming nazis in suits and shitty SS haircuts through profile features and calling all of it the "alt-right," WE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE FUCK YOU WERE DOING

my neighbors & i pay our money to brian fitterer so we can live in poorly-maintained, unsafe, unsanitary buildings he gives that money to PACs, electeds, candidates who oppose rent control our rent goes up, our bldgs stay the same, we pay brian fitterer more money, he donates more, rinse, repeat

Completely failed to post here before today BUT... we have a show tonight! It's the return of the Vilification Tennis RPG, hosted by @voolala.bsky.social and featuring nine Vilifiers and a versatile NPC known as...Tim. (Yes, a Monty Python joke! Join us anyway) www.eventbrite.com/e/dungeons-d...

We ditched Ring earlier this year over shit like this, haven't looked back. Good riddance.

We have our tickets; really looking forward to this!

Former GOP operative Scott Leiendecker just bought Dominion Voting Systems, giving him ownership of voting systems used in 27 states. Election experts have concerns.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

Minneapolis friends, it is really disturbing to me how many signs I see iin support of Becka Thompson. She is racist, thin-skinned, allergic to nuance and deep thinking, and has proved herself to be utterly ineffective and bullheaded on the Park Board. Why would she be any different on City Council?

Dear moderates, I'm keeping it neutral and balanced, so that we can engage in a mild conversation about your choice for mayor.

Let's be real: who *doesn't* like it when the beat and/or booty go da-na, da-na?

hi star tribune, please read this! i explain it all and why this is so bad! just because it wasn't in the decision that was emailed to you as part of the press release doesn't mean you shouldn't do your own research on top of it, right? right? 😔 taylordahlin.com/f/john-walls...

All the GOP people that left because of the Tea Party and MAGA are now running as DFL. Don't fall for it, these people are Republicans.

Please to see this pretty much matched up with what I was planning, with a few slight alterations based on things not covered in the quiz. A little simplistic, but valuable!

Minneapolis is a dangerous hellhole, a killing field, and is incapable of running free and fair elections. Sincerely, the committee to reelect the guy who's been mayor for 8 years. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The function of the waffles joke is an in-group signifier. Singal, Graber, and Oppiliappan are showing in-group solidarity; they're all in on a joke. The joke is they have institutional power, and you don't, and they feel contempt for you, that you still want to have opinions about how power's used.

“Frey still felt the need to wave around his veto pen” is the perfect summation of our worse-than-useless mayor. Another great letter by @elitalksmpls.bsky.social in today’s Strib
