Chicagoans are making, sharing, and printing designs for whistles that can warn people when ICE is in the area. The goal is to “prevent as many people from being kidnapped as possible.”

of all the things about this deal that are pissing me off this might have pissed me off the most

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

This is disability visibility. Mamdani listened. He didn’t pander or talk over the disabled journalist. He acknowledged his concerns and gave real responses about how he plans to fix them. 1 in 4 Americans has a disability, it’s a huge number of voters. Don’t ignore us!

Is that from being unable to afford to feed ourselves or?

I need to see these around again.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

Voted. Walked over to Boneshaker Books after.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

New awareness campaign

4 Days to Election Day: A reminder that Ward 10 candidate Lydia Millard will pretend to be whoever you need her to be.

I don’t recall MPD having LRADs, but there they are atop SWAT RVs. Photos from the parking lot of the police academy. They were also seen tooling around that neighborhood with the back doors open while fully armed and armored.

[Yes, I am only now getting around to working on photos taken at the Fair] I don’t recall, day of, noticing the raised lettering text in the background….

Lydia Millard has very little public track record and little of substance to say when it comes to policy. It makes it hard to know what she’s about. But her donors - from landlords with copious property violations to GOP donors - paint a pretty clear picture.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Every weekend night around 8-9pm the new bike lanes on Hennepin Ave are closed by officers working off duty security for Reign nightclub. Uptown Minneapolis September 2025

For 7 years, Mayor Frey has lied. He lied about no-knock warrants and Amir Locke died. He lied and said there were only 27 unhoused people in the city—facts prove him wrong. He even vetoed the Uber/Lyft wage bill after vowing to support it. Minneapolis needs a leader, not a liar.

ahem there is finally going to be a zoom launch on US time and it's next Sunday, 5 October, at 2 p.m. Central (3 Eastern, 1 Mountain, noon Pacific, 8 p.m. UK/Ireland, 9 p.m. CET, please extrapolate elsewhere from there) usd.zoom.us/meeting/regi... you'd be very welcome bring a short poem you love

I wrote about one man's quest to not have to ride in pitch black darkness through South Minneapolis. Modern day Don Quixote here, except the windmills are lampposts stripped of copper. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

unfortunately the mayoral forum tomorrow includes troy a peterson, who spent the league of women voters forum describing how he’d like to hang people responsible for 2020. beyond the pale after the assassinations of the hortman’s to invite someone who just espouses violence

I know a lot of Minnesotans brag about having a place up north but I never knew they meant the victory neighborhood

Please note: if you see stickers or posters advertising an “Active Club,” they are not some sort of benign fitness club. www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

I printed and distributed 4000 ICE OUT OF NYC posters thanks to your donations. If you’d like me to make another round of posters with a national message, my Venmo is Molly-Crabapple-2. I need about $200 to print a thousand posters

all of mpls promises a mayor who will lead to address pubic safety. finally!

Important time to remember the federal government has been trying to claim that people filming officers amounts to “violence.” No. Their officers are the ones often committing violence. The people filming are the real heroes catching officers lying about it. Context:

It's actually pretty funny JD thinks he's gonna be president and not sealed alive inside The Golden Tomb.

Saw another good poster up… #DontRankFrey

Yeah, I don’t want to see these two old trees cut down, either.

Tried to go to Centro for brunch, but their shitty ordering system again didn’t work for me (as it hasn’t 3/4 of the times I’ve gone there), so walked down to Lu’s instead. 😋

(Oops, too hungry)

You would think that Baker's Chocolate is so named as it's chocolate used by bakers and you would be wrong. It is chocolate developed by Dr. James Baker. Similarly, you probably thought German Chocolate was a German preparation of chocolate. It was developed by Samuel German- who worked for Baker.

Cheeky sticker placement at the Minnesota State Fair: #dontrankfrey

Topical.

Picked up a few super-neat mini-zines at Odd Mart, today.
