Don’t ever hesitate to give unhoused people cash, in studies done where unhoused people are given cash they don’t squander it, but instead they use it for things they actually need. It turns out just giving people money can solve their problems. psych.ubc.ca/news/cash-tr...

If you think firing 1 officer addresses Mpls Police culture, then you are lying to yourself. The civil rights abuses from 2 different consent decrees didn't arise out of a vacuum, and paying off problem officers with fake PTSD settlements does nothing to change the culture. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

INCREDIBLE SCENES ON FOX as there is LITERALLY NOT A SOUL at Trump's fair, which has now been open for 15 minutes

Because…. Yall should be able to repeat it with me now…. There is NO reforming this

LeBro told me he is so fucking tired of petty liberal centrist bullshit mayors, and look what good things socialism did for the Knicks so moving on from Los Angeles and fuck nah to Minneapolis sorry yall.

In Minneapolis, it is always the usual suspects supporting the usual sus candidates. A recycle of meh that stays paid and the Star Tribune insist are relevant.

Johnson: If we lose the midterms, these Democrats will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. We’ll take care of you.

it is interesting the level of liberal anger that exists for a temporary rent freeze.

If anyone at the @startribune.com would like to recruit a historian to write an op-ed about how the grandparents and great-grandparents of Tom Emmer's constituents were hated by the Tom Emmers of their era, I'm sure you could find a couple hundred volunteers.

My only comment on Emmer’s latest racism is that there‘s a local through line almost 3 decades old, when KQRS ratings kingpin Tom Barnard told immigrants to “assimilate or get the hell out.“ (In Barnard’s case it was the Hmong.) Barnard paved the way for Emmer & his ilk. archive.is/xpk1v

I don’t know, but I think there might be a pattern with the Minneapolis Police Department www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Lunacy. Here's Emmer 10 years ago.

I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.

“Those results, too, comport with existing research showing that U.S. police spend much of their time conducting racially biased stops and searches of minority drivers, often without reasonable suspicion, rather than “fighting crime.” www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

I’m totally mystified by these people. If my ass was being handed to me by a really popular movement i would be like hey how do i get them on my side, not pouting and clutching my pearls.

Normal Minneapolis people having a normal adverse reaction to the petty do nothingness of centrist Dems, imagine if you would have just sacked up and voted for the socialist over Frey. Imagine having nice things.

More people protested in 2020 against police brutality and systemic racism than had ever protested for a single issue in the history of the country... Then we increased law enforcement budgets nationally as the rate of police killings increased year-over-year.

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

American police killings of residents are rising, even as murder rates fall www.economist.com/united-state...

Johnson alleges "federal agents assaulted him after he followed them in his van and then, after arresting him, left him shackled to a bed for days — except for bathroom breaks and medical treatment — before he was even charged." Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...

collins has been such a formidable electoral force that i don't want to say "she's cooked," but if maine voters are feeling at all anti-incumbent and anti-gerontocracy then yeah, she's cooked

They should make a Father’s Day for moms.

I’m sorry, no. This is not the guy who did the reflecting pool. No. Come on. We’re just putting a hat on a hat here. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...

This Reformer analysis breaks down the most comprehensive data available regarding where the thousands of Minnesotans arrested during Operation Metro Surge were held, for how long, and where they ended up. minnesotareformer.com/2026/06/16/o...

BREAKING NEWS: The @startribune.com conducts a "Minnesota Poll" by calling random numbers in rural areas to deliberately stoke the flag controversy, then posts the resulting rage bait to Twitter - but curiously doesn't post anything about it here on BlueSky.

They buried the lede - The police shot and killed a 1 yr old baby. Worthy of setting the whole goddamn Mississippi on fire.

New book I hadn't heard about released yesterday, "The Cruelty of Nice Folks: Why Minneapolis Is the Story of America" and it looks like a good one. www.blackgarnetbooks.com/item/MEgaIBq...

Yall gotta learn how to do acceptable fraud like becoming a long time employee of a tourism board even though you have no discernible skills or talents and because you are in a politically connected family, thats how you do fraud right

As a fun aside, I want to note that I have personally litigated against Acting U.S. Attorney Dan Rosen and found him...... lacking. He personally appeared in one of my habeas cases 2.5 weeks after the judge ordered my client released and filed a motion to recuse. It didn't go well.

it is always good to be anti-fascist, always. No matter if the fascists come for you or not.

MPD just sent a whole lot of your money in uniform to walk around North Minneapolis and act like they are doing something. So I’m sure you are pleased with that ROI.

MPD just sent a whole lot of your money in uniform to walk around and act like they are doing something, by the way. So I’m sure you are pleased with that ROI.

Dr. Stephen Thrasher just wrote a book about this. “People in the overseer class wield enormous institutional power, even necropolitical power over who lives and who dies; it’s just that their power is predicated upon repressing other people who look (or speak/have sex/come from places) like them.”

Being a Black woman in charge of the Hennepin County strong arm force that supported ICE in all it's incursion, abuse and assault is NOT Black girl magic 😆 some old folks are really stuck in this, and it is patently absurd

I have a radio program on KFAI 90.3 FM every Tuesday morning 8am-10am, its a glorious ride :) Last week I played working class anthems all the way from Rick Ross Hustlin to Johnny Cash Sixteen Tons. Come join the fun and convo this Tuesday! No Name In The Street with D.A. Bullock

“‘I thought, you know, that was in the Cities, that wouldn’t happen up here’,” she said.” Yeah, we tried to tell you …

The Ellisons now own TikTok, Paramount, Warner Bros, CBS News, HBO, Comedy Central, and CNN, among other major channels. They are also the largest private donor to "Friends of the IDF." They also paid $7 billion for streaming rights to UFC, which is hosting an event at the White House.

“It’s gonna put a ton of people on the street,” Mayor Jacob Frey said Thursday, about another project funding real estate investors over the needs of the community.

I love this for Angie Craig! 😂

Q: Are you concerned about the latest inflation numbers that came out this morning? TRUMP: No, I love it. I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over -- do you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil? You know who doesn't know? Iran until right now.

This isn't a terrible plan but it relies completely on the private market to supply new housing and it's not clear how any of her proposals will lead to 100k+ new units being developed.

Brunson should invite the Exonerated Five to the game front row seats.

Mr. Burns is blocking out the sun so Donald Trump can visit Springfield for a basketball game.

“small businesses” like 50th and France…. Lmfao. Okay bro

In Jan and Feb, I submitted extensive public data requests. I had not intended on scouring them and analyzing myself. But some things are too urgent. This is the first (lengthy) post that outlines how Frey & O'Hara failed Minneapolis during Operation Metro Surge.

The Klobuchar governorship is gonna be miserable, four years of Spanberger squared, or Polis to the nth power, and yet I’m still picking it over losing the legislature (which could happen anyway, but this reduces the chances by XX%). Brings me no pleasure.

seriously, stop bootlicking police, stop the copaganda and the hagiography, it doesn't make them better at the job , stop mythologizing them pretending they perform - Just hold them accountable (budgets and duties) accountability is the only way to make people do a better job.

People are starving for talk like this (and next couple posts).
