After reading Carl Sandburg's "Chicago' poem in full in open court this morning, Federal Judge Sarah Ellis says this about our city: It should go without saying that is she correct & Donald Trump is lying. #chicago

Not to be constantly "ugh twitter" but I was there just long enough this morning to see people who don't even live in MN claiming to Understand Minneapolis Politics and jesus please shut up.

I don’t want to memory-hole Betsy Hodges’ 2013 win. It definitely wasn’t DSA but it was last successful center-left alliance. Folks should re-read this September Racket piece, where she describes the alliance but — I know this will chafe — the need to appeal to SW. racketmn.com/minneapolis-...

Remember when Pryes Brewery tried to open in Uptown and Meg Tuthill had this to say: “Help revitalize the Uptown area? Are you kidding? It’s revitalized honey” Now we have fake bars. soundcloud.com/mnbeeractivi...

I drove in rush hour for 2 miles this afternoon and I don't know how people do that every day

My analysis of last night's elections across the country is that if candidates get enough people to vote for them, they win. And I predict that this will hold true in next year's elections as well.

Analysis of Ward 5 election from somebody who lives in Ward 5. Couple things I haven’t seen on here: 1) Jeremiah Ellison has not done a great job of constituent relations. He’s got a reputation for not being responsive (whether that’s fair or not IDK. I’ve heard arguments both ways.)

Really normal day over on Twitter.

If it won more than 2/3 of the vote, is it really "controversial"?

I must once again remind everyone that, sadly, Hell is not real.

What happens when you distill 2025 into a single social media post? This. This is what you get.

I LOVE VOTING

In Memoriam: Cheney Haunted By People He Didn't Manage To Kill In Iraq War

Strangely, this is NOT in the Strib's new sponcon section. This story got reported for free.

Good luck to everyone who is campaigning on their belief that a better world is possible! Jeers to all candidates promising orderly management of the decline!

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest. The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says. "I could smell the onions and mustard."

just awful, awful news

for true Nextdoor sickos like me, the day before an election is like Christmas

Ellen Burstyn and Diane Ladd in "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore”

haha I fucking dare him

All my listings editors know: "Brewing or Brewery" is starting to be more of an annoyance than "Theater or Theatre"

I’m asking everyone to vote for a new Mayor by Tuesday and rank all 3 of Omar Fateh, Dewayne Davis, and Jazz Hampton in whichever order you prefer. I’ve worked at City Hall for the last 4 years and from my personal experiences I believe the City desperately needs a new mayor. Long thread 🧵

A lot of people angry about Omar Fateh not being included in this video asking candidates to make their pitch to voters after he chose not to participate in it

here are my recommendations for mayor, city council, park board, and BET for tuesday! and this was a good excuse to share some photos from covering campaigns this year taylordahlin.com/f/2025-minne...

*to the tune of the riff from Jimi Hendrix's "Fire"* K Pop Demon Hunters

South Minneapolis! Here’s another chance for this weekend.

Cannot believe the doctor-who-has-amnesia show is still on.

this is the same pitcher just without a mustache you can't fool me

that's John Smoltz

hate those stupid midgame manager interviews

"any pitcher who pitches from the windup with men on base is showing you how much more comfortable he is with the windup"

Hey MN, get over to the Dyani White Hawk exhibit at the Walker. Beautiful, overwhelming stuff. And the Jessi Reaves show is also very cool.

sorry but every baseball game should be called by one quiet play-by-play guy and one 80-year-old former player who rambles on about anything else besides the game

time for my favorite holiday tradition: reading all the Nextdoor posts from people shocked that some kid took all the candy they left outside unattended

"the freedom to pitch with no runners on base is what every pitcher wants" thank you so much for your expertise john smoltz

"It's NOT an excuse. It's the TRUTH!" is basically what I would say to my parents and let me tell you that shit did not go over well.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of Neneh Cherry, it was the age of Will to Power...

AMC showing Kelly Reichardt's The Mastermind as its "Unseen Screening" this month is straight-up hilarity. She really has a knack for getting her movies in front of people who will absolutely hate them.

From navigating financial aid to staying mentally well enough to work, the road to shelter is a long one that can take years.

Their AMC has samosas!
