The 2026 World Happiness Report is out, and the pattern is clear. Countries with proportional representation rank at the top. That's not a coincidence. These systems push governments to serve everyone, not just swing ridings. It's time to make every vote count here too.

coming on here and seeing a lot of people mad at TrackAIPAC like "This Candidate is Pro-Israel" isn't written clear as day here That's the whole point, it lets voters know if they're voting for someone pro or anti apartheid (and often genocide)

"No Kings, No ICE, No War! Democracy is what we're fighting for" -- Our co-president Robert Weissman lit up the crowd at the No Kings rally in Minneapolis. Together, we can stand up to Trump's lawless and authoritarian administration.

'100% Completely Unsustainable': Billionaire Wealth Manager Issues New Warning About US Inequality

I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of Stonewall DFL. LGBTQ+ rights are human rights, and as Hennepin County Commissioner I will fight to ensure every neighbor can access the housing, healthcare, and dignity they deserve More info at kevinchavis.org and also at mnstonewalldfl.org

SPPS strives every day to be a welcoming and affirming community for all of our students. We've passed pro-LGBTQ+ policies and invested in inclusive facilities, but there is more work to be done. I'm proud to have the Stonewall DFL endorsement and am committed to continuing this critical work.

this is a must-read piece from rod adams of the new justice project on anders folk's career history as he runs for hennepin county attorney. meticulously researched, just a laundry list of reasons he can't be elected to succeed mary moriarty. it would set us back racketmn.com/dont-fall-fo...

Even after Oregon voters overwhelmingly approved campaign contribution caps, the state Legislature dragged its feet on passing limits — and it’s since loosened them. By @robwdavis.bsky.social

The database DHS wants to access contains the name, address, Social Security number, employer, and salary or wages of every employed person in the country, as well as the equivalent details for anyone listed in state unemployment systems.

For more than a year, ProPublica’s journalists have been gathering the financial disclosures of federal officials appointed by Trump. You can now explore those records using our new online tool.

At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians. (Published Oct. 2024)

Mayor Frey can thank Minneapolis Public Housing Authority & affiliated nonprofit Community Housing Resources for 43 filings yesterday. Significant bump in Mpls filings the past few days. Approximate* Minneapolis eviction filings 3/1 thru 3/11: 2025: ~54 2026: ~237 A 339% increase compared to 2025.

A day after Frey vetoed pre-eviction notice, two ICE vehicles are parked in MPD parking outside City Hall. My assumption would be that they’re here to meet with the mayor’s administration. We’re still under occupation.

UPDATE: We just added more info to the Trump Team Financials app! Now including President Trump's most recent financial transactions, which were filed late + released the same day we published our app. You can now see his transactions up until late Jan 2026. projects.propublica.org/trump-team-f...

Pete Stauber, a Republican, introduced a bill in Congress Thursday called the “Stop Fraud by SOMALIA Act,” which local leaders say is unfair and dangerous. Written by Mohamed Ibrahim

This is a powerful letter from Minneapolis Legislative Delegation asking Mayor Frey to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives. 16/17 state legislators who represent Minneapolis signed onto this letter. It’s time for Mayor Frey to sign this ordinance and support our immigrant neighbors.

Everyone in Minneapolis agrees, or to priority is spring our neighbors targeted by ICE. The City Council passed a temporary extension of the eviction timeline from 30 to 60 days. The Mayor vetoed that and chose to stand with landlords short-term profits instead of our immigrant neighbors

how much overtime was accrued by hennepin county sheriff's office deputies doing crowd control at the whipple building?

The same day Frey vetoed a temporary extension of the pre-eviction notice, the MN Senate passed rental assistance and… a temporary extension of the state’s pre-eviction notice. Jim Abeler voted for it so Frey & some CMs are to the right of some MN republicans. www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/94/202...

Talarico Win Shows Democrats Can't 'Write Off Latinos Who Voted for Trump': Ex-Bernie Sanders Strategist

Two great reasons to pass Bernie Sanders' 5% billionaire wealth tax: 1. $4.4 TRILLION in revenue for education, healthcare, childcare, and housing 2. Less money for the billionaires rigging our economy, warping our politics, and controlling our media That's called a win-win.

Billionaires love to claim that they need to keep their vast fortunes so they can continue donating to good causes. But as Billie Eilish points out, most of them really aren’t all that generous. Watch.

Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) condemns Donald Trump and the Trump Administration, as well as their enablers in Congress, the media, and elsewhere for launching and supporting a reckless, illegal, unprovoked, and unconstitutional war on Iran pdamerica.org/progressive-...

These cuts are the latest in a long series of efforts to punish Minnesotans — but just as we fought back and won when they illegally tried to cut funding for childcare, hungry families, and our schools, we are suing them again today to make them follow the law.

Coast to coast, our cry is clear: No War on Iran. Congress declares war. Not the president. Tell Congress: support the War Powers Resolution to stop Trump’s illegal war: tinyurl.com/ke4eknwh We’ve seen this before: presidents escalate, defense contractors profit, and the people pay the price.

Trump. Bombed. Iran. This is how endless wars begin — without public debate, Congressional authorization, or the consent of the people who will pay the price. Schumer has called on Congress to vote on the War Powers Act ASAP. 👉 Tell Congress vote to end Trump’s War with Iran: tinyurl.com/ke4eknwh

🚨 Happening now -- thousands protest War with Iran outside the White House.

UPDATE: He was just released. This shows that just indiscriminately took someone because they were Latino. Their illegal tactics continue so we still need neighbors to patrol, observe, and support our immigrant community.

ICE detentions across Minnesota are leaving families without income and struggling to cover rent and legal bills. Many are turning to community aid for help. Written by @ncsscibelli.bsky.social
