The absences here are really something.

cinco de mayo with ilhan omar at plaza mexico on east lake st in minneapolis in support of small businesses ahead of the cd5 DFL convention on saturday. upstairs, i found an altar with photos of alex pretti and renee good @teamilhan.bsky.social

For decades we’ve had school shootings and seen government do nothing. I’m proud that today we passed my bill to ban assault weapons for the first time in MN history. We can never bring back Harper & Fletcher, but today we can say we did all we could to make sure no family endures this ever again.

Minneapolis celebrates spring with a parade of giant handmade socialist puppets and a festival where people row the sun across the lake. This year's Mayday festival was today, and I'm going to try to share some photos and videos (many taken by others) to try to explain it for my non-local friends.

Minneapolis May Day Battle Train rolling down Bloomington - the best annual tradition.

Stood next to a man at the duck race today who was asking what FRNNG means because he kept seeing it on signs and vests. I was about to telll him when I noticed that he was a very prominent and conservative candidate for Hennepin County Attorney

$30,000 in city of minneapolis small biz recovery funds from ICE occupation are going to edina. the 50th & france business association is in edina, the plaza they will activate is in edina, and most restaurants in this business district are in edina what a waste taylordahlin.com/f/minneapoli...

I can appreciate people are excited to see Roper be mildly critical of Frey, but this "far-left" framing is so absurd and tiresome. The "far-left" position is sending all the landlords and billionaires to prison, or worse.

Great, now there's no chance they're going to win the next FIFA Peace Prize

I can't believe this. @normcharlatan.bsky.social you're a Minnesota Legend, my man.

I thought Walz's closing was moving, so I'll add that here as well for those interested. No more Norm talk, but some baseball talk.

Minnesota state law enforcement (BCA) was on the scene at one of the federal raids this morning, pictured here in Burnsville. This is pretty surprising, given the feds are withholding evidence from BCA, while BCA is actively investigating federal agents for murders, assaults, etc.

The City Auditor is clearly suffering from an advanced case of Frey Derangement Syndrome.

Vast swathes of our society are driven soley by petty grievance. It is such a defining problem of our time.

It is so funny that just a week after there was a "Performative Mayor" contest in a local park, he couldn't help but find an extreme and absurd action to show all of them up.

Tired: Daniel del Prado's Cardamom Wired: Young Cardamom

We can and we will.

Apparently protecting LGBTQIA+ residents and promoting public health interventions isn’t a core function of City government for Frey. He only cares about the community to the extent that he can grift off of them for political gain.

The dude clearly just loves being humiliated

I strongly support the sales tax increase to fund HCMC. We can't let our safety net hospital close. But I am intensely opposed to the $7 million per year that SF 4986 would also give to the Twins Stadium. It's a major expansion of corporate welfare. The Pohlads should pay for it!

Trump just writes JD off as a loser after this weekend, right? Maybe all this embarassment is justto punish him for disagreeing on Iran in the first place.

Rubio looks like he just got caught telling someone how Johnny Ola first brought him here

At SD63 convention and I'm sad to see a giant mural showing that Roosevelt High is actually named for Teddy, not FDR

i am so perturbed by this charter commission nonsense

This is what leadership looks like. Cedrick Frazier wants to fund investigations of ICE. 👇🏻

For @jfritchie.bsky.social — a wood duck in front of the island in the middle of Powderhorn Park Lake (because that’s where I saw a wood duck this morning).

utter bullshit for the @startribune.com to not show michael rainville calling them "fucking children" and only show aurin's response as if she's accusing him of this when there is PROOF. thumb on the scale from strib, as always

My name is Cedrick Frazier. I never worked for Donald Trump. And I’m running to be the next Hennepin County Attorney. secure.actblue.com/donate/cedri...

An amazingly kind person paid that family’s rent need outright! 🤩 Let’s keep this going! This Minneapolis immigrant family still owes rent for both Feb and March. Total need to avoid eviction is $3000. V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please share and help if you can! Thank you!

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

History will look back on the leaders of Minneapolis and what they did to stand up for our residents during and after Trump’s invasion of our city.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

Jacob could never

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social www.wivb.com/news/local-n...

FYI: The Minneapolis City Council approved $7M for small businesses impacted by the occupation. Governor Walz is only proposing $10M aimed at Minnesota businesses that have been impacted by the occupation. Respectfully, it’s time to add the missing “0”.

Might go down as the funniest post in site history

i do like the implication here that, rather than to protect children from harmful effects of alcohol, the purpose of the drinking age is to protect the alcohol from the children somehow

Moon palace has done it again

We’re still seeing ICE going in and out of the Whipple building. As long as they’re still here working to separate families, we need to make sure people are out patrolling & keeping watch. We don’t accept their behavior happening here or anywhere else which is why all of DHS needs to be dismantled

God this is so bleak. Just rubbing our faces in it.

Marimar Martinez is a hero. Please keep her safe. And please remember every time you hear a claim from the DHS that they will lie. Constantly. Blatantly. Without remorse.

The Aristocrats voice: "The Republicans!"

when the vibes are incredibly respectful

So ICE uses their database of plates to lead observers to their homes in order to harass them, and the State of MN uses its database of plates to do absolutely nothing while 60+ vehicles with fake plates cause chaos across the metro and beyond?

We reviewed more than 100 Minnesota license plates attached to immigration enforcement vehicles in recent weeks. We found that nearly 60% were not registered with the state of Minnesota, including the Chevy Tahoe that federal agent Jonathan Ross traveled in the day he fatally shot Renee Good.
