MAGA Voter Claims She Loves High Gas Prices https://theonion.com/maga-voter-claims-she-loves-high-gas-prices/

“Since the city shared this development, the mayor’s office has declined multiple interview requests, as we try to learn his reasoning.”

I was just thinking, where are all the 2nd amendment freakazoids when you need them? Less than 5 months ago the Feds stripped an American citizen of his legal fire arm and then murdered him in the street for protesting tyranny - I thought yall was riding for liberty? what gives?

you would think after the Feeding our future scandal, Frey would be more hesitant to award a lucrative city contract to an organization he has already been accused of misappropriating funds to…

incredible and shameful there isn’t international condemnation of the united states for collective punishment of 10 million people

@jchavezmpls.bsky.social just mentioned this, but Rise & Remember’s proposals were the most well-received by the survey respondents. The Mayor is doing this against the wishes of people who actually live by the Square. Agape’s proposal wasn’t even popular with half of respondents.

putting everything else aside, for those that were at GFS the morning agape worked with the city to open the streets, I’m sure they haven’t forgotten some of the disgusting hateful things some of these guys said to people at the square that morning

Mayor Frey once again vetoed the decision by the Minneapolis City Council to deny Commissioner Barnette’s appointment. He has now vetoed 25 council actions since his first term began in 2018. This total that has surpassed all previous mayors on record.

This upcoming election, we should talk about Agape - specifically how they were hired by Frey as a campaign function and muscle clearing out George Floyd Sq, and many of them were later rounded up on RICO charges by Frey's friend Andy Luger. - Your mans is a special kind of user

I am having a hard time engaging with the nonsense coming from people whose jobs have lent them a shred of power in this city. The City’s recommendation makes me nauseous. I need to work through this stress cycle in the privacy of Not the Internet…but yikes. Anyway, here’s a helpful revision:

The world’s biggest bike parking in Utrecht didn’t happen overnight. And it didn’t fall out of the sky. It’s the product of decades of effective urban and transport planning. Long-term political decisions. Sustained public investment. Great cycling cities aren’t miracles. They are policy outcomes.

Gotta share the inimitable @bullycreative.bsky.social today talking about his love of Stevie Wonder and one of the greatest songs of all time (yes, you know the one!)

Good morning. The city of Minneapolis is planning to launch a pilot program for Drone First Responders, partnering with Skydio, a company who sent drones to Israel to support them in carrying out genocide. These drones, designed for surveillance, will be “responding” to 911 calls.

Oh hey, they're still abducting people in Minnesota. Still putting them on planes to god knows where. Still holding many of our neighbors prisoner. Some folks are still in hiding or have come out of it but are way behind on rent etc. Much help is still needed. Appreciate everyone pitching in.

Banger of an inflation report - up 0.6%! That’s an 8% annual rate! So tired of winning.

Reminder that, beginning next week and running through the end of the year, renters in Saint Paul are required to have 60-days’ notice before they can be evicted for non-payment of rent.

The US has spent an estimated $71.8 billion on the unprovoked attack on Iran, or $1.2 billion per day on average.

If u were legit anti fraud, MPD lavishing In overtime for fake overtime and theoretical overtime would make your ass as red as “Somali Fraud, “but it doesn’t cuz you are not.

Wild how MPD blew through overtime by not actually working.

It is interesting in all this conversation about saving Uptown or saving Minneapolis in general, the only rallying cry we get from the wealthy is pushback on youth, and the desolate and pushback on the idea of socialism.

Staggering for the lack of protection and production. During Occupation Metro Surge they literally ignored calls for help and protection. Literally told folks there was nothing they could do for you, despite them being grossly overfunded.

If the Democrats let Republicans have this INSANELY easy W, I am going to be apoplectic. This shit polls like chlamydia. Get on the other side of it now and be loud about it.

A group of voters in this state and in this country who would allow billionaires to extract wealth from their own family, poison their own boundary waters, as long as they can cling to their old shitty racist state flag.

The overriding goal of America's right wing is to restore chattel slavery so they can own Black people. That's it. Whether they will admit it or not, whether they'll even admit it to themselves, their goal is legal domination and subjugation through violence of Black people. Everything leads there.

downtown council will be using $26k from small biz recovery funds after ICE to fund dinner du nord & bring back the aquatennial. 50th & france gets $30k whittier gets only $17k. eat street! where alex pretti was killed! it feels like frey punishing chughtai again taylordahlin.com/f/minneapoli...

amazing may day news that the mayor is gonna use money he bragged about to fund a festival meant to minimize the city’s own 1934 attack on organized labor while withholding that money from some of the wards that need it most- represented by the council members he hates the most. god i hate him!

Minneapolis! The city announced recipients of grants following metro surge. 50th and France is getting $30,000! East Isles is getting $35,000! Nothing for East Phillips or Powderhorn Park. If you are as frustrated as me, email [email protected] www.minneapolismn.gov/news/2026/ap...

Some people, even some liberals, really despise poor people. Despise poor people more than they hate grifters, more than they despise cruelty and harm, more than they despise genocide even - We should unpack that before we let those people determine our public policy.

remember when tom emmer thanked angie craig for voting for the laken riley act with him too?

Alito authoring opinion saying fixing a racial gerrymander is also racist and then musing, 2 hours later, during oral argument about Trump's racist effort to end humanitarian protections against deportation for Haitians, about how he doesn't like dividing up people by race I loathe this man so much

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

‘Disappointed’ ‘Surprised’ ‘Betrayed’: 12 Dogs Who Were Given a Bath After Being Embraced and Told ‘It’s Time for Your Bath’

In Shakopee. Childcare Centers beware.

UPDATE:

Let your people know, the feds are profiling Somali folks heavy today in the Twin Cities. They out here roaming around KFAI studios in Cedar Riverside. Heading to do my live broadcast.

people say there’s no way jacob frey would get appointed to klob’s senate seat but given he was STILL reelected after everything we saw in 2020-2021, i think nothing is off limits. he fails upwards every time, the media loves him and paves his way and people simply don’t pay attention

Ever notice the pro-HERC (garbage incinerator), pro-eviction, pro-data center, pro-deregulation, pro-police, pro-assaulting houseless folks, pro-tax breaks for the wealthy, pro-developer doing whatever the fuck they want in your city people are all the same people.

How many ICE assaults happened in Minneapolis and MPD didn't even bother to file a police report?

Davis Moturi: "I'm still asking why my neighbor was able to point a gun at me and nothing was done." www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fuk...

Yeh, that's only for the Left. It's like how MPD is crap at preventing crime, crap at responding to crime, and crap at investigating crime, and somehow Get Stuff Done centrists find their appeal persuasive and never have to answer for how bonkers that is.

Someone inside city hall — not a politician, not D.A. — made this exact point to me the other day. They noted nobody in Frey’s coalition even remotely has the legislative policy chips of, say, @ward2.minneapolismn.gov. They just outsource everything to the mayor’s office.

it is fascinating how in Minneapolis politics centrists are not held to any productivity or competence standard. the irony of them trotting out "getting stuff done" as a reason for centrism is laughable.

Ask all your Republican and Republican leaning fam in Minnesota. Are the Boundary Waters worth their slavish devotion to pedophile billionaires and being able to say shitty things about pronouns?

I worked for a progressive City Council member in Frey's first term and when my boss would ask for basic details on police and the budget during Council meetings (in 2020!), the mayor would refuse and once even likened him to a baby for asking questions. Frey eventually just stopped showing up.

Minneapolis centrists longing for the halcyon days of Dorilus Morrison, when one could give an honest thug an honest wage and a badge and before his lunch break, he could bash in the head of at least 5 or 6 socialists rabble rousing and disrupting child labor.

definitely leave it to the pragmatic people who fucked shit up to provide practical solutions on how to get us out of this mess

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Today we're treated to another pile of nonsense from @startribune.com. Blaming bike lanes for causing the central business district to decline is embarrassingly stupid. And the writer, who's on multiple corporate boards, also doesn't seem to realize most target workers are in stores, not downtown 🤦
