Cannot believe I missed round 1, but you better believe I’m all in seeing this through to the end from this point forward

Minnesota's antifascist DNA stretches back to the Civil War, if not earlier. But if you want to learn about the heroes who fought Nazis here a generation ago you can watch this.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

I know some people are cynical about everything now and just say “eh, what do you expect” at every new low, but really this is just astonishing and outrageous, and I don’t think we should shrug at that www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Okay, rude I know it’s cold; you don’t *also* have to remind me it’s ICEy out.

One of the MOST significant things about this — and an important lesson to highlight, not obscure, for national/international readers — is how widespread local opposition is. I’ve never seen more normal folks involved. The overwhelming broad consensus local support lifts me up when I let it.

I just hate it

saw this in uptown minneapolis this morning and am not really sure what it means

WATCH: Trump’s goons kick over a Renee Good memorial😳 “Really, you f*ckin’ punk? That’s why we’re here… Renee Good is a mother.” (H/T @covie93.bsky.social )

I don’t share NYT much anymore but this is a perfect example of how to maintain standards of objective reporting while not kowtowing to the official narrative (because the objective facts clearly contradict it).

In the past 7 months, the Twin Cities have seen the assassination of State Rep Melissa Hortman & her husband and the attempted murder of State Sen John Hoffman and his wife, the mass shooting of children at Annunciation Church, and now the murder of an innocent women by an ICE agent. It hurts.

easy there, partner — looks like you were about to fedpost. the future we need can’t come to pass if the good people building it are in the hoosegow. leave them ornery thoughts in the holster

**warning upsetting violence** but i have to share after the DHS statement on what took place. this was cold-blooded murder by ICE on a neighborhood street. none of them in danger, none of them harmed. driver killed after three shots through the windshield. all i have in me is rage right now.

It gave us the great Disco Elysium Vance video:

We won every precinct with a total of 62.05% of the vote! Thank you Ward 12, I look forward to representing and serving you for the next 4 years. A progressive vision for supporting everyday people and working families is what I will work to deliver with you. 🤍

🚨EARLY EXITS: all your enemies are voting in high percentages and will get their way over the next four years unless you show up to the polls and bring several friends.

Minneapolis and Saint Paul, go to the polls prepared tomorrow! All these races matter. Here’s @naomikritzer.bsky.social indexed election election guide. naomikritzer.com

I hope @dewayneforminneapolis.com doesn't mind me retelling a story he told me when we first met last winter. I kept it to myself because he wasn’t telling it publicly but he mentioned it yesterday. It’s one of the things that’s leading me to rank him first. A hope-its-ok-and-I-get-right 🧵:

they covered jesus with a purple cloth for the forum to make it non secular because it’s in a church but it’s really just giving abu ghraib and i think it’s deeply unsettling

@dunktankdoug.bsky.social and I are here at @trylon.org and we have no idea what to expect but I’m so excited to learn THE TRUTH

“This is the worst town in America” is something I say really regularly despite it being *checks notes* *squints* …a random pedestrian npc line from The Simpsons: Hit & Run video game

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.

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 had our wedding here, and it holds such a special place in our hearts.

This thread is simple reporting but the mere fact that Taylor is here and reporting on it qualifies as genuine journalistic excellence. This is a 5-hour exposé into how powerful property owners operate and all it took to make it public was the effort to actually fucking show up. Kudos.

IRL local politics 🧵. Went to a nice Linden Hills fundraiser for CTUL, the awesome immigrant-led workers-rights group. Attendees were what you’d expect: earnest, mostly white-haired DFLers happy to help. What was fascinating/distressing was how disconnected their politics were from the cause!

This was so clearly typed out in anger immediately after the KSTP segment aired like, an hour ago

Hey Minneapolis lefties, pay attention to Ward 5! Jeremiah’s seat is open and with no DFL endorsement, All of Minneapolis’ money holds a lot of power. Ward 5 has a great progressive candidate in @efornorth.bsky.social, but this race is going to be tough to win without that people power behind it.

Just checked with the authorities and the said it’s actually OK to just sit inside in the AC today, 90 in September is nonsense.
