I wanted to stand up and cheer at Nancy's answer about the feds getting out of the way and letting people get the work done!

The thing that is so disorienting to me is how patently obvious it is that Portland is not “at war” or whatever but the right wing media machine is so potent and entrenched that something like forty percent of the country believes it or is willing to go along with it just to own the libs

Trying to buy anything online in the year of our lord 2025 is completely miserable. No matter where you look, there are 1000 options and most of them have incomplete specs and you can't tell which ones are actually of decent quality and which will fail after a week of use

Here's to you, guy in business casual carrying a box of hot pockets and a bottle of Dunkin Iced Coffee down Emerson, you're having a great morning 😆

@gettinggophery.bsky.social found some good Friday evening content for you youtu.be/BKr2LY-6Sz0?...

The debate should’ve been moderated by all of us who roasted Minneapolis at the STPv MPLS event. “Mayor Frey, would you say you do it all for the Gram or just mostly for the gram?”

Blois asking about Uptown, noting private capital left (without noting a substantial reason is national retail chains leaving because of nationwide retail bust, putting it all on public safety). Good example of how big-biz framing really obscures perceptions. (Uptown has actually seen reinvestment)

Frey gaslighting about needing civility as if he’s not at least half the problem at City Hall. Breathtaking.

Kudos to the Strib’s Eric Roper for trying to make up for his own news org’s political desk by actually covering Dewayne Davis as a mayoral candidate in his own right. Davis’s positions aren’t all mine, but he has a real shot at bringing the city closer together. www.startribune.com/dewayne-davi...

"You have a Culver's on your main drag, that's suburban behavior!" - @itsthebrandi.bsky.social with the facts

My kind of roast tbh

Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

We (N4MN) did an event with CTUL earlier this year, and they talked a lot about how little oversight there was of subcontractors, and how that led to abuses, even if the govt entity or developer had good intentions. They're often several sub layers away from the workers

The climate movement's focus on the oil industry has got to be the most misplaced and un-strategic advocacy I've ever seen. Oil demand, drilling, pricing, pipelines, refineries etc. is determined 100% by the car industry. And the car industry has all the political power. Not the oil industry.

Is that @mateosfo.bsky.social's music?!

TIL: Richmond, VA also has a horse cop saga

An interesting thing about the Kimmel show. I’ve never watched his show. Hubbard broadcasting owns both KSTP (Twin Cities) and KAAL (Austin). They’re running the show on KSTP but not KAAL. Next time the @startribune.com or others say that city folks “other” rural folks, point to this.

De Niro: "I gotta go. A couple cases of Tylenol fell off a truck and now I gotta figure out how to put autism in them."

8 bed units! 🤯

I seriously have no idea why y'all are talking about the rapture being this week but hey, it's like 37th on the list of weird fucked up shit going on right now so whatever

Nerd Nite: Minneapolis Tuesday 6:00p Ear Street Crossing Be there!

Even if you take the most lenient possible interpretation -- that SCOTUS has made it increasingly hard to prosecute bribery and corruption -- you still have to ask what kind of crooked-ass administration hires a guy who just took $50k cash.

Uptown is ALIVE

"I didn’t realize I needed Jimmy Kimmel to prosper this badly, and I’ll wager you didn’t either. He was harmless in the aggregate: a professional comedian doing routine professional comedian’s work. But because he dared to attract the Eye of Sauron, he’s now exiled."

Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening. It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president

Had to double check if this was real. It is.

The failure of progressive philanthropy to give billions of dollars to shore up journalism is the mirror image of Sinclair and Fox and Disney utterly gutting freedom of speech, censoring voices on behalf of the fascist regime, and convincing one in six Americans that vaccines are poison.

Hello Lyndale Ave South community. Opponents of a safer design for Lyndale are generating a ton of emails (via action network), many from outside Minneapolis, to city council members in support of the no bike lane option. You may want to get busy contacting your council members.

Who needs more joy, community, and seeing hope-inducing projects in their lives? Halloween season is coming! It's a perfect time to enjoy a bike tour of House district 61a listening to the tunes of DJ Dev while showing off your best costume. Join us: tinyurl.com/costumebiker...

/20 In closing, this is the result that the Right, the Federalist Society, the Heritage Foundation, and their crew have successfully fought for: a system where the federal government can deliberately violate your rights and there is no effective remedy - meaning you don’t really have the right.

yes! congressional control of the purse applies to the white house as well. you can defund stephen miller.

dewayne davis is just an incredible speaker

genuinely crazy that this is happening on behalf of charlie kirk of all people

“Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t doing politics right.” —Ezra Klein

Anecdata, but with the Frey Fence blocking the Midtown Greenway bike/ped access to Lake Street, the daytime hangout crowd on Blaisdell from 29th to Lake has grown quite a bit. Security Theater is really Vulnerable Shuffleboard.

We deserve an interconnected city with accessible, efficient, and climate-friendly transit. That's why I'm thrilled to be endorsed by Move Minnesota Action. As Mayor, I will champion the affordable, frequent, and reliable transit system we deserve. #votetransit

Council Member Katie Cashman taking a victory lap on the Loring Greenway playground issue. The City of Minneapolis is acquiring an unused playset from Austin, TX using Hennepin County grant money.

Been waiting for an “establishment” media company to finally say something honest and real about Charlie Kirk, and Ta-Nehisi Coates managed it with Vanity Fair.

A reporter just asked the U.S. president a perfectly legitimate question about his attorney general's vow to prosecute people for constitutionally protected speech. He responded by threatening to prosecute the reporter. The threat itself is an abuse of power. It ought to be an impeachable offense.

TEAM MINNEAPOLIS ANNOUNCEMENT! 📣 We are excited to announce that Brandi Brown, Minneapolis comic, writer, and strategist, is joining our Sibling Rivalry lineup!

Every libertarian's favorite senator, openly cheerleading for cancel culture.

Behold: www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

Came across a Shaffer yard sign today

If tonight’s forum has you excited, please make a gift! Katie is fantastic & has great momentum and it is still an uphill battle toward Election Day. (PS if you can give more in the neighborhood of $320 please do that!!)

Cashman did really well tonight. Benefited from knowing the job after two years doing it. She was happy to own being the progressive candidate. Shaffer was hedging answers in a way that made me think she's not confident with the more conservative lane she used to win the DFL endorsement.
