I’m going to be honest with you: The headline is appalling, but the piece, which indeed has an absolutely bizarre tone of nostalgia, is worse.

I moved to Minnesota in June 2023 during a day when the air smelled like a campfire. When I’ve asked longtime Minnesotans about the increasingly severe smoke during our summers, they all say it was never a problem until a few years ago. And wow, this graph has got the receipts.

I hate what the “new and hot” restaurant cycle does to great places, like Emily’s! Don’t forget our family-run institutions!

Pure magic.

Reporting from the Witch’s Hat Tower.

The most pro-Trump person I know is a guy who immigrated with his family from the UK as a child. He got caught taking sheets of acid over state lines. He was either 17 or 18 at the time. His family was able to proceed with citizenship, but not him. Dad was an executive at 3M, fairly wealthy.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Good grief. This administration is so soft on crime.

Every single county in Virginia shifted Blue.

The most telling thing about Jacob Frey running for a third term is that *none* of either the Minneapolis legislative delegation or the Hennepin County Board have endorsed him. That's pretty wild. www.jacobfrey.org/endorsements...

What the fuck

Pritzker fights. It's refreshing as all hell.

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

Feels like the war on cities coming from our own party. Such a stupid and unnecessary slap in the face, but the face is your own.

Nice to see ESPN quote our New York Times story today. But the big story here is this sentence: "According to a report from Deloitte earlier this year, revenues are projected to top $1 billion this year." If true, WNBA players are getting 2% of revenue!!! www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

There's a delicious irony in WNBA sources complaining about Unrivaled's role in CBA negotiations when the league exists in no small part because of the prioritization rules the WNBA insisted on during the current CBA. Be careful what you wish for ...

re the Clark quote Engelbert denies saying: “Multiple sources contacted by ESPN said Collier had relayed Engelbert's comments to them within several days of the February meeting.”

Hell yea Phee. www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

This is horrifying

Engelbert deserves the criticism she is getting. But Adam Silver and the NBA are the biggest obstacle in WNBA labor fights. My latest for @cbssports.bsky.social: www.cbssports.com/wnba/news/ge...

Another Frey-PAC backed candidates getting money from McDonald's franchise owners from out of state. Are they trying to overturn the drive-through ban?

America, 2025

Lmao Cheryl yelling "I'm free!"

The written version of Napheesa Collier’s statement. I don’t know how Cathy Engelbert survives this.

Player’s union backs Phee. Thank you Madame President Nneka.

Anyone who brings up Phee and Unrivaled in the context of the CBA and trying to claim that they have a conflict of interest are just standing up for the billionaires. Stand with the Players.

Napheesa Collier's full statement at the beginning of her exit interview. She directly quotes conversations with Cathy Englebert that legitimately call into question how the WNBA is being led. (Part 1/2) #WNBASky

Incredibly brave of Napheesa Collier to call out the flaws she sees in the W’s leadership in this way. She established herself as one of the most powerful voices and leaders in the league with Unrivaled and this is further proof of her willingness to publicly demand better.

So proud of our Queen Phee. Fans are behind you all the way.

No, Cathy, you should be on your knees thanking players for being the league. Seriously, if I didn’t love my team so much I would boycott the W. Cathy needs to go.

I think it’s more likely Cathy actually does feel threatened and this is her trying to put Phee in her place. Gives me the ick.

Fire Cathy.

Napheesa Collier concludes her statement with: "We have the best league in the world. We have the best fans in the world. But we have the worst leadership in the world." #WNBA #Lynx

"can we expect minneapolis to turn out in even years if we throw out their voices in odd years?" asks maraist, "now is not the time to take this support for granted."

also when ward 2 credentials committee voted to throw out the votes of more than 80 delegates for indicating support for robin wonsley, even though john wall is a member of that committee and lives outside the city of minneapolis yet had influence on throwing out actual residents' votes. misconduct!

I love this city, and that's why I'm ranking DeWayne, Omar, and Jazz, not Frey. Frey's been mayor for 8 years and he and his megadonors only love what they can extract from the people who love this city.

Right now, Minneapolis can choose a different story than the one people are telling about us – we can choose to believe in the power of us. Voting is open now until November 4. I hope you'll rank me first on your ballot because Minneapolis deserves better.

Can't we just get healthcare

Reeve is being suspended for saying what we all know: reffing in the WNBA is abysmal. I don't just mean that as in i think the Lynx have gotten raw deals from refs, but that the entire structure of reffing sucks. Hell, the refs in women's college basketball are better.

someone said on twitter you can't be an open republican and work in minneapolis politics but you actually can as long as it's on the elizabeth shaffer campaign. she featured the deputy chair of the MN GOP CD5 in her kickoff video! he doorknocked and campaigned for her! his name is mitch rossow!

we heard a lot about "outside agitators" in ward 2 at the convention, turns out that was just john wall being a deleage and a member of the credentials committee despite a primary residence outside of the city of minneapolis! taylordahlin.com/f/john-walls...

That's my MF coach 😭😭😭

I would follow her into hell.

I AM BEGGING GOOD PEOPLE WITH READING COMPREHENSION SKILLS TO FILL OUT THIS FORM. WE NEED TO TAKE THE MINNESOTA DFL STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Shout out Bill Simmons

Cheryl Reeve RIPPED the refs as expected: "This is the look that our league wants for some reason. For the leadership to deem those 3 people, semifinals playoff worthy is fucking malpractice"

This is what unity looks like.

Well one thing I know for sure is the Walls showed up at the Ward 2 convention and definitely influenced that election.

When I talked to Shelly Madore at the City Convention about what happened at the Ward 2 convention, she said, “I’m sorry that happened to you. It shouldn’t have,” & denied knowing anything about the credentials committee. But she talks to John Wall. In my opinion, Shelly Madore lied to my face.
