democrats, if your stance is not “abolish ICE and border patrol, full stop”, that means you support this, and you will be primaried

Great news. This program can’t grow soon enough.

What happens now to states that already started distributing full SNAP benefits?

Oh dear god no

Will the Strib liveblog when people start losing housing subsidies and other benefits, or is that level of in-depth reporting only reserved for airport delays?

lol lmao that's like 7% of GDP

At the beginning of the 20th century, a lot of people regarded real estate as a scammy, penny-ante market. Professionalization by NAR/NAREB was meant to create a level and trustworthy playing field between expert Realtors®. That'd been deteriorating for a while if it was ever true. Now, it's gone.

I know some folks were asking for something like this (@meshm.bsky.social iirc) So I made a quick dot density map of the first choice Minneapolis mayoral results. This allows you to see two things that choropleth maps can't show... umn.maps.arcgis.com/apps/mapview...

My guess is that they credibly believe trump will just mass pardon them and none of this matters. I don't see how else they could be so brazen.

Here's an incredible election result that's being slept on: Duluth passed a first-in-the-state Tenants Right to Repair ordinance! TakeAction MN and its ascendant Duluth Tenants Union fought hard for this ballot question and won a huge victory for tenants rights in a market which really needs it

Minnesota too!

Not even beer is safe from oligarchy!

JUST IN: Soren Stevenson, who lost an eye due to a projectile fired by the police during the BLM protests of 2020 in Minneapolis, has won a seat on city council. @pascalsabino.bsky.social reported on his candidacy last month in a must-read: boltsmag.org/minneapolis-...

visited a st. paul food shelf yesterday where a line wrapped around the building. they told me filling the gap left from SNAP is impossible. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

I voted

How is this legal???

My god Giannis

They appropriately address the trolls

The University of Minnesota just announced the "Meal-A-Day Program" which will provide one meal a day for SNAP benefit recipients while the SNAP program is limited or unavailable. This makes me very happy. A lot of students, faculty, and staff at the U need this, unfortunately.

Alexandria & Richmond, Virginia have both implemented free bus service, as Mamdani has proposed. They have also succeeded in increasing ridership—as of latest data, their ridership in 2025 is 31% & 25% higher than in 2019, respectively. Overall US transit ridership is 20% lower in 2025 than 2019.

No cow sticker or tootsie pop at my flu shot today. 😢

NE turkeys out in full force this morning.

What a stupid team

Hmm not good!

Lmfao

‘Study after study shows that students want to develop these critical thinking skills, are not lazy, and large numbers of them would be in favor of banning ChatGPT and similar tools in universities’, says @olivia.science www.ru.nl/en/research/...

Manchin and other Third Way Dems like Sinema being in position to block popular programs was crucial for conservatives. The BBB would have rolled out immediately-helpful and clearly-visible spending on child care, paid sick and family leave, child tax credits and more. Voters soured on the economy.

Congrats to the Dodgers on overcoming the adversity of being overwhelming favorites

We did family movie night and just finished Coco. I've seen it before, but I'm still an absolute MESS.

Reverend David Black has a Bible open and is preaching to the police now, inviting them to join him in standing with the persecuted inside the detention center. "Which side do you think Jesus wanted his followers to be on?"

This is correct. Many buildings in NYC are in crisis not because of rent stabilization but because there was a rush to sell building and bid up sales prices and many landlords got over-leveraged and took out bad debt

Toddler haul - bag full of candy Dad haul - 3 beers 🍻

more and more people are saying it

I haven't heard anything about housing vouchers and the shutdown. Any idea when HCV funding could run out??

Yes! We can support ending exclusionary single family only zoning but that does not mean market rate, supply side emphasis will trickle down and move the needle significantly for those with the lowest income.

Published my first Op-Ed w/ Professor Ed Goetz on how the national narrative about Minneapolis misses how zoning and market rate housing are necessary but not sufficient to help lower-income renters 🧵 www.startribune.com/twin-cities-...

FYI parents!!

It's that time of year #Halloween

Private equity firms are buying manufactured home parks and jacking up the rent. Over 180,000 Minnesotans live in these homes, and they’re organizing to fight back. Give this clip a watch and tell your legislators to support the Manufactured Home Residents Bill of Rights!

We're so back #fearthedeer

i’m at hennepin county government center for a press conference from commissioner irene fernando and domestic violence service providers are calling for transparency, accountability and action from the city’s leaders in the wake of mariah samuels’ murder

I am excited to announce that my op-ed will be published in the Strib tomorrow. It's about how it's anti-Italian that NE MPLS has sandwiches called "Dagos"... or it's about housing or whatever

Very good thread imo

I wrote about the should-be-illegal trend of fencing off sidewalks because poor people are nearby. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

The Minneapolis police response to having allowed Mariah Samuels to be murdered is to lie to elected officials and the media about it.
