Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

Honestly, even the most pragmatic centrists amongst you, be fucking honest now - what do you think a love letter between Trump Homeland Security folks and Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara portends? Remember, be fucking honest (at least with yourself).

This is spot on. Our capitulation to the ‘inevitability’ of AI couldn’t come at a worse time.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Ward 8‘s Josh Bassais has cozied up to Frey $, so please set aside some time Saturday Oct. 11 to doorknock for @sorenwithward8.bsky.social & mayoral hopefuls @dewayneforminneapolis.com @omarfatehmn.com @jazzformayor.bsky.social - lots of folks means lots of fun & good work. Organized people > money.

More people should be talking about this.

I am so proud to be endorsed by Ward 9 Councilmember Jason Chavez! Councilmember Chavez says:

When I say the US has bet its post-pandemic economy on AI while China has bet its on green energy, this is what I mean: Here, AI related companies account for 75% of S&P 500 returns since ChatGPT's launch. In China, green tech accounts for one quarter of GDP growth.

This week our campaign office was vandalized with an Islamophobic threat. We will not be deterred by hate speech. The people of Minneapolis are demanding change. I'll continue fighting for it. We're still going to win this election! Donate today to help: secure.actblue.com/donate/omar_...

IRL local politics 🧵. Went to a nice Linden Hills fundraiser for CTUL, the awesome immigrant-led workers-rights group. Attendees were what you’d expect: earnest, mostly white-haired DFLers happy to help. What was fascinating/distressing was how disconnected their politics were from the cause!

For the ‘boycotts don’t work’ crowd… “Target Corp.'s (TGT) stock has plummeted 33% since the rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, wiping out over $20 billion in shareholder value by mid-September 2025.”

Thank you for the endorsement, Aisha Gomez! Rep Gomez is the MN State Representative for District 62A and co-chair of the Taxes committee. She says:

Thrilled to see growing consensus that Dems must step up in the Continuing Resolution fight. Key to doing so? Refuse to frame this as "shutting down government." Instead, call it what it is - refusing to be an accomplice to turning the government into a weapon against the American people.

big cats acting like little cats is one of life’s great joys

The Mobile Medical Unit is an incredible resource for the City. After the administration told CMs yesterday that there are no plans to deploy the MMU to the area, it’s worth noting this passage from Mayor Frey’s press release after the shooting. content.govdelivery.com/accounts/MPL...

This rally-style episode was a labor of love, and a response to the fact that most folks outside Chicago don't understand what's happening here, or what organizers on the ground are doing about it. There's a lot of reality here, but also a lot of strength and hope. truthout.org/audio/raids-...

our friend jason garcia is still in the hospital recovering and needs our support with medical bills and other needs during their recovery. jason does so much for the community. this is our chance to give back to them. please share - www.gofundme.com/f/support-ja...

ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

I just called Disney+ to cancel my account and had the most joyful interaction with an operator who was laughing the entire time about how many people had canceled today. I can only imagine how it feels to spend an entire day witnessing how many people want to stop fascism.

This is the event you don't want to miss if you love benches, mustaches, or public revenue for public goods. If you don't love any of those things, god help you.

Minneapolis residents are sick of Frey's failed promises. Housing solves homelessness. Not removing homeless people and hiding the problem. Not criminalization. Not repeating the same failed policies and expecting different results.

Some neighbors and I in Longfellow believe we can't afford 12 years of Mayor Frey. We are organizing a Longfellow Forum for a New Mayor. Join us for a family friendly format to hear from candidates on housing, police reform, and so much more Sign up here: forms.gle/5jppXJhypevf...

Congressional Democrats voted today to sell out Washington DC and their constituents, as numerous Dems backed bills advancing the Trump takeover of DC. After meeting with our Council and saying nice things, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and leadership *declined* to whip a No vote on the bills

Ta-Nehisi Coates, always on point: “What of the writers, the thinkers, & the pundits who cannot separate the great crime of Kirk’s death from the malignancy of his public life? Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize?" www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

Elizabeth Shaffer: killed a playground in Uptown Katie Cashman: saved a playground on the Loring Greenway … the lit writes itself

This is the third email I’ve gotten from @governorwalz.mn.gov today, each bizarrely with a different candidate header. I know Walz endorsed Frey, but with Frey so underwater in Mpls, and all statewide Dems needing big turnout from Mpls voters to win, this is just dumb. #Don’tRankFrey

one of the answers to “what more can we do?” democrats

Yet again reminding everyone that the feds did not “back off” of Chicago

While they may roadblock the city's clean energy goals, their lobbyists make up for it with winning smiles.

I’m thrilled to announce major endorsements of my campaign for Ward 8 City Council. Seven powerful and progressive elected officials from the state legislature and on the Minneapolis City Council are saying together that I am the best choice for the job!

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

A lot of Minnesota has been thinking about this.

He's right, and it's not just Brazil. Around the world, at least 31 democratic leaders who committed similar crimes have been jailed or banned from office since 2010. The failure to hold Trump accountable in the US was a unique and systemic failure of our institutions and political culture.

Thank you to the CTUL Action Fund! Low-wage workers and workers from marginalized communities must have a real voice in shaping the policies that will directly affect their lives and well-being in our city. I look forward to working with you and making our democratic process more inclusive.

i think anyone saying he practiced politics the right way or that we should continue his work should first have to read out loud his last days worth of posts to someone they love who doesnt know who he is

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

"By tying increasingly severe and common heat waves to specific companies, the new research could find its way into courtrooms where individuals, cities, states and countries are seeking to hold fossil fuel producers accountable for climate damages." www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/c...

The biggest sporting event in the world is happening in our backyard. But most New Yorkers will be priced out of watching it live. Sign our petition calling on FIFA to put game over greed: zohranfornyc.com/gameovergreed

Make the World Cup affordable, hell yeah!

i think every democrat who does a cable news hit should start calling trump the pedophile president

No one would be confused about what is happening here if they saw it in another country.

In the past 24 hours, Israel has bombed: • Palestine (Gaza) • Syria (Homs, Latakia, Palmyra) • Lebanon (Hermel, Bekaa) •Tunisia (aid flotilla) and now • Qatar (Doha)

This group started in someone's backyard in June. Yesterday, they were a featured story in this Dutch paper. www.trouw.nl/buitenland/d...

Zach Stephenson elected new House DFL leader replacing the late Melissa Hortman. This likely takes him out of a run for statewide office in 2026.

Keep in mind that organized academic workers, not administrators, accomplished this.

Please share! This happened in Powderhorn. ICE is literally tearing families apart. 💔 You can find the contribution link in my bio that will help support this family. Thank you Genevieve Roudane for organizing this. www.gofundme.com/f/helpmplsfa...
