the dispensary i go to is now offering recreational marijuana! green goods downtown on 9th - visitgreengoods.com/locations/mi...

@shardlow.bsky.social this is very exciting news for downtown to have this exclusive

The Uptown Mall vote, rejecting free money from the Met Council, also a gift from Elizabeth Shaffer.

can we not give her a promotion? thanks ward 7 friends

the youth programming postings were cut by commissioner elizabeth shaffer: taylordahlin.com/f/elizabeth-...

I know we're not reaching her voters here, but if someone thinks Elizabeth Shaffer would work like this, I want what you're on. Katie Cashman cares and we have to reelect her. I am merely Ward 7 aligned, but it would be a huge loss for the City if she loses to Shaffer.

OMG the show was so good and it was packed!!!! The only downside was that they didn't explain that the Bechdel Test is a jumping off point for an intersectional feminist analysis of the films so I was a bit lost @caitlindurante.bsky.social @jamieloftus.bsky.social

two more bechdel cast live shows this week! madison and minneapolis, see u soon 💖 linktr.ee/jamieamazing...

Anyone else going to the Bechdel Cast Live in Minneapolis tomorrow!? Just finished my rewatch of the Prequels!! Does Padme count as HIS WIFE? @jamieloftus.bsky.social @caitlindurante.bsky.social

A notable dynamic of the Frey coalition. Frey likes to be known as Mr. 2040 Plan. I'll also give credit that he has mostly not derailed a general good direction on streets. Yet the Frey council slate, if elected, offers regressive/crank thinking on transportation & housing, a la Rainville & Vetaw.

Rewatching the Prequels because @jamieloftus.bsky.social and @caitlindurante.bsky.social will be here on Sunday to discuss them through an intersectional feminist lens, for the first appearance of the Bechdel Cast in Minneapolis!!!!

I love to see a survey that's like "what lies are the most convincing," promoting the DFL endorsed candidate in Ward 7. Shaffer is such a disgrace

Holy shit I just took the survey (in Ward 7) and it's hot garbage. A bunch of loaded questions about how amazing Shaffer is and outright lies about Cashman (I'm strong Cashman, but wasn't going to give them real answers). Fuck AoM/Thrive for their MAGA-level bullshit

I am trying to find out which wards in Mpls are getting the " "Hello, it’s Research-Polls! We are conducting a study on...." text poll. If you can comment or DM me if you got it and the ward you live in, I would appreciate it. THANKS!

On Minnehaha Creek having the adventure of a lifetime.

Editorial note: citing the reporting of Republican Michael Brodkorb about DSA in this slideshow ostensibly for DFLers by DFLers is incredibly damaging for the DFL and we shouldn't ally ourselves with people we need to defeat statewide next year

Breaking news about ThriveMPLS, the new establishment PAC, from our duck savior taylr!

at the private ribbon cutting event for the plaza: adam duinick, jacob frey, former ward 7 CM lisa goodman not at this event, which is in ward 7: current CM katie cashman

more pancake @bylert.bsky.social

Regardless of how you count it- delegates only, including alternates, including spoiled ballots, the results of the first ballot are the same.

Dog in a backpack stole the show yesterday on Nicollet Mall. Meet pancake.

You better vote for Pancake!

ward 7 CM katie cashman has filed! fittingly, she was the 7th candidate to file!! adam schneider also filed for parks at large @katiecashman.bsky.social @adamformplsparks.bsky.social

we’re at the election center where katie cashman will be filing shortly! 6 candidates have filed so far, park board district 5, BET, and wards 1, 6, and 8. adam schneider is here filing for park board at large too @rudyfunkmeyer.bsky.social @bylert.bsky.social

Oh hey it's @bylert.bsky.social!

now at the loring park dog show with hazel and pancake (and their owners @katiecashman.bsky.social and @bylert.bsky.social)

The Glaser Loon coming at you in three parts over the next week with a two-month-late review of DFL caucus night. Today, commentary on precinct caucuses, caucus accessibility, and the gender-parity rule. Conclusion: abolish the endorsement process altogether?

Do you live in or near Uptown? Do you visit the area? Do you have thoughts about what would make it better? Share your thoughts in this survey!

The reviews are in

also it felt like Shaffer kept being like "well it's not the city's job, it's some other body's job" to so many questions, even if it rightfully should be part of the city's purview! Why are you running for city council if you don't think the city council should do anything??

The question was: describe a time you went against your allies. Shaffer told a story of disregarding MPRB staff and the results of a community engagement process so that she could help her ally Mike Erlandson.

What I’ve learned during the last two weeks of DFL conventions: Republicans welcome. Left-wing members of the left-wing party need not apply.

veterans for katie cashman @bylert.bsky.social

Shaffer states that abortion is a state issue. #statesrights

thank you @katiecashman.bsky.social

. @gamefullyun.bsky.social HOLY crap @moviehooligan.bsky.social and Abe predicted the Pope would die on the 12th this year, at the end of the Conclave episode, and he died on the 21st! Coincidence???

New episode: My conversation with Damla Erten, owner of Sencha Tea Bar on Hennepin Ave, about why she thinks the Uptown Association's plan for a business improvement district is a raw deal for Uptown business owners. creators.spotify.com/pod/show/wed...

the hornigs are big contributors too, $30k from hornig companies themselves and then almost $3k from right move properties, which is owned by win hornig

It's so absurd that We Love Minneapolis has so many Republican, landlord donors, and their trying to influence the DFL. What the actual fuck

Katie Cashman, if you're listening, incorporate this into your stump speech: "a little more than a year ago, I inherited Lisa Goodman's MPD, a broken institution."

Spread the word!

I’m listening to the Paula Chesley @wedge.live and not only is a tough listen because of her conservative policies, but she doesn’t seem to understand the basic operations of city government

Also, any org that throws their support behind a candidate that puts…this.. in the universe loses credibility to me. bsky.app/profile/gett...

Neat how they endorse the most regressive incumbents. I wonder what the rest of them are like? 🤣🫠

Thanks for posting this. Now I can use the fact that both @katiecashman.bsky.social's opponents are endorsed by this grift when I go caucus for her on Tuesday. 😊

Was this an event for people who live in Uptown or for Republicans who hate Minneapolis but still want to exploit us as much as possible?

"how will firetrucks work if there are bike lanes?" Yeah! Emergency vehicles never have problems with cars blocking them! Stfu and go back to Florida

The axolotl at Jackalope is named Doots, like flaggerdoot, which is a herd of jackalope 🤣 also new tattoo lol
