not looking forward to 2029 when our only chance to maintain a progressive park board will be to try to replicate a mass walkout at the city convention by moderate delegates before parks business is raised

Shitload of cops came tearsassing through LynLake. One of them said it was a stolen vehicle and the driver was running people over and pointing guns. They're all clustered at 29th and Aldrich. Sounds like the driver's in custody? 😬

something is going on (large police presence) in south minneapolis, does anyone have any idea what or maybe specifically where

All of Minneapolis guys: We love Zohran Mamdani! Also All of Minneapolis guys: “the putrid, wicked, DSA-aligned Emily Koski”

have seen some people fuming that less than 100% of davis and hampton voters ranked fateh. but that's just an unreasonable expectation and is not why we lost

Of DeWayne Davis first choices, 61.7% flowed to Omar Fateh, 23.2% flowed to Jacob Frey, and 15.1% exhausted. Of Jazz Hampton first choices, 36.9% flowed to Omar Fateh, 43.2% flowed to Jacob Frey, and 19.9% exhausted.

Among Minneapolis voters who did not rank either Jacob Frey or Omar Fateh first, 47.7% flowed to Fateh, 31.2% flowed to Frey, and 21.0% exhausted. Frey led by 10.1% after the first round, and led by 5.7% in the final round.

That was a lot of money to accomplish.... basically nothing

jacob frey has to be so mad that he couldn’t beat Aisha. him and his people named her as their top target after the last election. they raised so much money and Aisha embarrassed the shit out of them. soooo much money spent per vote compared to Aisha. soooo much wasted mail.

I love this stat. You don’t have to squint very hard to say what happened in 2025 was almost all Mpls wards resolved to their natural state. 8 returned to left column, 2/10 stayed DSA-psyched, 7‘s rich assholes regrouped in streetfight with renters, 5 was never as progressive as Peak Jeremiah.

Bruce Dachis and Nasri Warsame combined vote share, 2023: 37.30 Lydia Millard vote share, 2025: 37.07%

the kaohly her upset is so funny. i would ask why exactly she was challenging melvin and there was not really a good answer. a mayoral race without any key themes or issues. very weird contrast to minneapolis

thinking about We Love Minneapolis, the pac whose goal was to pump a bunch of money into the conventions to challenge progressives. how did it turn out? 2: lost by 27% 8: lost by 18% 10: lost by 21% 12: lost by 30% 5: dubious influence 7: great success, actually

Among St. Paul voters who did not rank either Melvin Carter or Kaohly Her first, 45.4% flowed to Her, 19.9% flowed to Carter, and 34.7% exhausted. Her was down by 2.55% after the first ballot, but led by 2.78% on the final ballot.

most devastating result of the night (for the campaign) is almost certainly lydia millard failing to clear 40%. that campaign raised a ton of money and was everywhere. they were so visible and fought aisha to a near-tie at the convention. in the end, they didn't come within 20%

Quick RCV analysis: Pearll Warren has it, Eric Harris Bernstein and Steve Brandt have it, Tom Olsen and Meg Forney have it, Jason Garcia has it, Kay Moran has it, Fateh has a better chance than it might appear.

Mamdani: "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life but let tonight be the final time I utter his name."

Oh my god it was right after the chorus dropped too

I need this video archived. I need to rewatch the moment that Zohran won while they played the Pina Colada song basically every day for the rest of my life

Very sad about Dick Cheney. He gave me my start in showbiz. My first gig: opening for him.

if the blue jays win the world series, they will need to ensure that every member of their roster is at least 21 years old before celebrating with champagne. this is because the legal drinking age in canada is 21, with the exception of quebec, where the legal drinking age is also 21

q: why did the outfielders raise their arms during this play? a: according to the ancient scrolls in which the rules of baseball were found, if a ball lands and doesn't bounce that ball is declared god. the players were worshipping god. i doubt there will be a game 7 or any further baseball seasons

game 7 is the least important game of the world series because the season’s over at the end of the season either way. they only play it so that someone can feel like they won

pretty interesting ballgame they've got going on tonight

Watching the ward 10 forum back. Asked about community safety, Lydia Millard comes out swinging, says that ward 10 has NO public safety (???) and no plan for encampments. I'm sorry, it just doesn't make any sense to blame Aisha Chughtai for those things.

the guy who caught cal raleigh’s homer was wearing a shirt that said dump 61 here and he immediately took it off and had a shirt that said dump 62 here

Chughtai hit Millard with the data center hammer: My opponent has publicly supported building a data center here in Ward 10. Poison our water, overburden our electric grid, devastate economy.

this, 2014 andrew luck's fumble recovery, and marcus mariota's self-completion are the three most bewildering qb scramble touchdowns i've ever seen in the nfl. all three happened against the chiefs

Everyone is always pointing out that mass shootings are almost always carried out by men, and it’s true, but I never see them extend that logic to point out that it’s never men that kamikaze themselves and a massive boulder through glass bridges. Exclusively a female phenomenon.

Taylor just do pop or country pop and deliver us some BOPS. Why are you doing this to us

Realizing that I posted these Deadwood shitposts about 15k followers ago so a repost can’t hurt

And by way of comparison, here we have the third quarter and fourth quarter charts for Phoenix. Quite a stark difference. #WNBA

Phoenix's slightly ridiculous first-half shotchart. They don't just have 42 points in the paint, they have 36 points from inside the restricted area. #WNBA

alright this is bullshit

As a side-note, there is also no other player in WNBA history who has had both a 15-assist game and a 15-rebound game in their career - never mind at the same time. #WNBA
