i kind of doubt this will be the case but if he wins there's a chance he becomes a sort of inverse manchin, earnestly leftwing but with positions like this that are significantly more locally focus group tested than they appear to be to outside observers. the gop has a lot of this type of guy

Let's summarize acceptable and unacceptable conduct in the DFL: Killing people 🆗 Transphobic behavior 🆒 Fabricating evidence 👍 Expressing concern about people who have done those things ⛔🚫❌

If you disagree with this take, I think you should ask yourself how persuasive an argument "I told you so" has ever been in your personal life. I can think of very few times where it's actually changed someone's behavior. They just get pissed at you & double down

I really wonder how this is gonna work out. never before have I seen members of a presidential administration lying about current financial conditions like this. especially given they were put in place to lower prices. crazy shit

GLORY TO THE SPORTS-LOVING WORKING CLASS IN THE STRUGGLE TO ENSURE FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT FOR THE INTERNATIONAL PROLETARIAT! SOLIDARITY FOREVER! #charitybundibowl @newap-georgia.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social @edsbs.bsky.social

why do so many people dislike jacob frey they must all be online weirdos

Respondent Kruse posted that "The Minnesota DFL 'Feminists' are falling all over themselves to justify vehicular manslaughter."

Pulitzer-worthy reporting here from Minnesota immigrant news @sahanjournal.bsky.social. 70+ children detained during Operation MetroSurge. 30 sent to Dilley. Two dozen held >20 days, a Flores violation. 7 still detained as of March 10. ~20 have been deported. sahanjournal.com/immigration/...

niche irritation but women really love to just assume you share their terror of going outside alone at night. no sorry i have self respect and i'm not a coward 💔 listen to fewer crime podcasts maybe. ideally none

didn't you put your phone in the pool because it was too hot or something?

you have to wonder if the liquor cabinet realizes that trump 1.0 was so successful in part because they kept their egregious violations of civil liberties much more cleanly separated from the mainstream institutional press, reciprocal corruption style. real bush league stuff here in contrast

Burchett is right: the most DC thing ever *is* a member of Congress blaming the city for something he and his colleagues did themselves.

Interestingly, it wasn’t until sometime this year in 2026 that they added that requirement. Correspondence with the Committee in December of 2025 didn’t have that warning.

We need this woman to win through any avenue possible

lmao kate went to trader joe's in the hawaiian shirt with bones' face on that i got her and apparently a manager at that location also has those shirts with his cat's face on them and wears them as his manager uniform 😭

I am deeply resentful at anyone who tries to make streamers more relevant.

Okay, I am about to be very pedantic about this amateurish “investigation” that resulted in sanctions for someone who reported a basic fact. Meanwhile the person who was at minimum very insensitive but let’s be real, she was being a transphobic bigot. +

who wants to help me steal hasan's money/cars (?)

My colors of the day in South Minneapolis are shades of Robin's egg, teal, & turquoise.

jia i know your parents taught you differently but it's not petty theft if you steal someone's passport, it's a major crime

DFL notables really love mocking pronouns and the lightest of pushback is met with sanctions and pearl-clutching despite the mockery itself being considerably worse vis a vis the actual rules. not great!

Holy shit. The FBI raided this woman's house with a helicopter based on the word of a "gait analysis" quack they found on X.

she's right. i could be a bigger hater. i need to step my pussy up.

angie craig is taking credit for the accomplishments of the tim walz/peggy flanagan administration and the DFL state legislature - like free school breakfast - in a new text to voters

A well-done piece from @zeteo.com on the current state of affairs here in Minnesota; our flight tracking work is featured about five minutes in.

bipartisan, mind you

deportation infra under a feverish mad king that is already using a shadow fleet of jets contracted out by donors that are bleeding tax payers by the tens of millions

Soren and Gomez too. We knew the leaders helping, they were at our neighborhood meetings. Frey was buying mansions and vetoing eviction relief.

taylor swift is never going to record picture to burn (homophobic version) (taylor's version) and that's why she'll never be a true ally to the queer community......

Support for impeaching Trump is at 55%, according to a new Strength In Numbers/ @Verasight.io poll, with 37% of adults opposed. Crucially 1 in 5 of Trump’s own voters support impeachment. Read and share: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-04-22...

Here is some more reporting, showing CM Chughtai had co-authored a budget amendment back in 2023, earmarking $300K just for the Uptown program. Yesterday, the City announced they have $1 million for Uptown's ambassador program.

Trump knows that everyone understands what "Low IQ person" means when he says it but the press isn't willing to write it. He knows they will always cover for him and he loves that he can get away with it. He's used so many old timey racist terms he hopes no one knows but he also does this

Folks may recognize this fed's voice. He's the same team lead (badge #7880) from immigration court arrests who has also been seen at Broadview directing attacks on protesters and press, threatening journalists, etc.

claudia poking her head into the office to peep at me urgently and i, good cat owner, want to teach my cat that she can alert me to issues, follow her downstairs, where she proceeds to direct me to her favorite toy (disgusting rattle mouse she's bit the tail off of) for fetch. well.

Overnight, one of these ICE charters landed in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a likely third-country removal. The second plane has landed in Guinea and Burkina Faso and may have more stops. Migrant passengers were shackled for at least 16 hours.

many of the things that ail this country would be resolved by making a Montanan's vote count the same as a New Yorker

As a Commissioner on the Minneapolis Charter Commission, I want to explain clearly why I cannot support the proposed charter amendment as written. This comes down to structure, process, and public trust. ⬇️ 1/

this is a man attempting to establish a pretext for murdering a person, who he calls "ma'am" and then "whatever you are". he also says "you're gonna get runned over" which is an impressive degree of illiteracy even for these grade c texas hogs

ICE in Chicago this morning at Elston and Kennicott—a masked agent tells a witness (on the sidewalk) not to get in front of his car. Feds are continuing kidnappings across the city & burbs after increased activity this month. No flashy CBP caravans, just a steady stream of covert ICE arrests.

optimistic. i hope he's right. i think the more pessimistic version of this article talks about her genuine work ethic in contrast to her absolute contempt for her party's electoral engine (the twin cities), so we'll see

Palmisano notes “Frey Derangement Syndrome” - the laziest trope to dismiss any critic — but “Council Derangement Syndrome” is never written about. Facebook is just full of it.

Back to tired Strib drama criticism. Three paragraphs hinting — but not delving into — substantive disagreement on how Frey does his job but five paragraphs of Palmisano defending him. Will there ever be an investigative look at how the mayor cuts the Council out? www.startribune.com/mayor-jacob-...

"Operation Metro Surge did more to disrupt church services than any single protest at Cities Church.... The pastor of the bilingual congregation Dios Habla Hoy reported that about 80% of his Latino congregation stayed away from church out of fear." minnesotareformer.com/2026/04/21/c...

in the coming years there are going to be many people like this, who whine "i was just living like the bull market would never end. where's MY financial assistance?". and it's important for people who remember the GFC to tell them to eat the tallest mountain of shit they can find.

now that claudia's comfortable on the bed she's stopped striding into the bedroom to demandingly meow the moment the alarm clock starts lighting up. instead she methodically kneads my legs and arms while purr-cooing the moment the alarm starts lighting up 😭

Minneapolis is a great and improving city for cycling - photo thread of a recent trip heading from my house in south Minneapolis to Falling Knife brewery in NE. Just a quick jump over to the river trail. Mostly separate space for people walking and rolling - all separate from cars. 1/

centrists in this city can pretend that they are more serious but when you look at the people they send to city council it’s just the most unqualified unserious people who don’t know basic functions of government. when you look at their mayor he’s just a guy using his power to fuel personal grudges
