This guy, who was not born in Minnesota, has not assimilated to the Minnesotan culture of acceptance, generosity, and treating people right. Maybe he should take his own advice and go back where he came from. Or better yet, he can go straight to hell.

I do not watch basketball but I know Naz Reid is deeply beloved here, and I must once again register my horror at the idea that team owners can “trade” human beings without their consent. Just grotesque to me

I am incredibly honored to have earned U.S. Senator Tina Smith’s endorsement to be the next Hennepin County Attorney.

I know it's a losing rhetorical battle that's been fought before, but we really have to stop calling these people "conservative." They are not "slowly slowly, cautious principle" people, they are aggressively and intentionally trying to drag this country over to the far right and into centuries past

Have you ever wondered what paid antifa terrorists from the smoldering wreckage of Minneapolis do with their free time? BEHOLD 🏴

Next time someone says Minneapolis is dangerous, ask if their city has a cat tour that attracts 1000 people started by a dude who doesn’t even have a cat. He convinced people to show him cats and take a walk with him.

Want to feel a little bit of the same joy our friends in NYC have right now? Vote for Peggy Flanagan in the Senate primary on August 11th.

This is sublime! There are moments when francophilia is impossible to resist, when it seems the religion of humanity.

mary moriarty is the wedge live cat tour’s grand marshal for 2026! “thank you for prosecuting ICE,” says john edwards as susan lynx hands over the sash and a hat

Listen: do your soul a favor and go see Disclosure Day. It’s playing at St. Anthony Main

The best days for corporate Dem Angie Craig to drop out of the MN Senate race were the day Renee Good or Alex Pretti were killed by ICE agents she enabled and thanked. The second best day was when LG Flanagan got endorsed. The third best is today. People want a fighter not a folder. NY is proving it

Congrats to @bradlander.bsky.social who came to Minneapolis during the heart of Operation Metro Surge to help us resist ICE’s illegal occupation of our City. Can’t wait until he’s in congress where he’ll work to abolish ICE.

This is COOL AS HELLLL

If today’s Prairieland sentences outrage you, as they should, you can take action against the criminalization of antifascist action by supporting the #TwinCities15 ⬇️

Bob “Again” Carney, a former insufferable coworker of mine, is by this point a Minnesota institution. @racketmn.com he is worth a profile. Ask him about the space mirrors!

Found in Windom Park in Northeast Minneapolis: colorful bricks that the young artist shared were being colored to celebrate Pride. Happy Pride!

just a huge shout-out to the volunteers who are giving their time and money to get my dude home to another state. whatever you think Minnesotans have done for our neighbors, they've done more and are still doing it

The more I work with women in my coaching practice, the more I think that the primary function of most social institutions is simply to protect men from the wrath of the women they abuse

Still mad 😡

Today’s layoffs hit the journalists who do the most and get the least credit. The editors, the copy desk, the page designers, the librarian and archivist, the news assistants. My editor led our immigration coverage during Operation Metro Surge and they just…let her go.

Brain teaser: Imagine the cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis decided to merge. New government, departments, elections, policies, and budgets. What happens?

This is a very beautiful image

We needed this hail

The hail storm dislodged (hopefully not permanently) three baby raccoons. Sound up to hear their squeaks. I don’t see Mama Raccoon. I hope she is okay.

Make part of the sex forest a dog park then jeez

Juneteenth is a day to reflect on the ways power holds on. How it held on through sharecropping, redlining, & Jim Crow laws. How it continues to hold on through the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery except as punishment for a crime, mass incarceration, and the gutting of the Voting Rights Act.

I am increasingly impatient with the use of space in this city. Too many streets for cars and not people. Narrow sidewalks with no seating. Not a bathroom in sight. And then we wonder why commercial corridors sit quiet. Look what we do with a little breathing room! This should be every day.

How it started/How it's going

Prophetic witness

I’m going to spell it “apoxie” from now on, in solidarity

Keep fighting! We’re gonna win!

good on The Maroon to give Lorraine Daston the last word on this nonsense chicagomaroon.com/53011/news/a...

Remember that, when “a federal judge … took actions to temporarily ban the federal agencies from arresting or using chemical weapons on peaceful observers,” THEY DIDN’T

Attn Minneapolis queers + allies: our outdated bathhouse ban is up for a city council vote next week. Council members from Wards 3, 5, 7 (DOWNTOWN, NE & LORING PARK) are currently NOT supportive of repealing the ban. Wards 4, 6, 13 are on the fence (11 will be absent). They need to hear from you!!

Only bollards can deliver this much happiness. #WorldBollardAssociation

Target stepped back from selling Pride merch _before_ the DEI rollbacks. Target took no stance when ICE grabbed an employee from its store here this year! Not bringing them back as a sponsor isn't an unreasonable standard, @jasonderusha.com; it's one of the ways people hold them accountable.

“Camps ranging from a dozen to a couple hundred men were effectively cut off from society for months at a time with little to entertain themselves in their few free hours except each other” 🤩

Your buds at Racket took home eight awards from the Minnesota Society of Professional Journalists tonight, including three first-place W’s! Thanks to everyone who read and shared our stories and supported our work over the last year. We just love ya.

What a great night for the 98th annual Northeast parade!! It was so great celebrating on Central Ave with our community.
