im at the corner of shitty. i’m at the corner of getting worse. i’m at the intersection of shitty and getting worse.

Letter from Evan Sallee, co-founder of Fair State. TL;DR, Co-op is dissolved, Brand name of Fair State (minus co-op) will continue. No taproom, union production employees remain.

North Market, the only supermarket with fresh veggies & fruits in ward 4, is set to close if it doesn’t find more funding by Dec. 15. this would make all of ward 4 a food desert. call ur reps! CM Vetaw: 612-673-2204 Rep Lee: 651-296-4262 Senator Champion: 651-296-9246

Minnesota: wherever there’s a vote to confirm Trump’s shitty nominees, rest assured you’ll find @amyklobuchar.com there with a big YES SIR MR. PRESIDENT

Training tonight (Wednesday) on Zoom!

Don't just repost this and think "I did a politics." Put the number in your phone as a contact. The Goon Squad got their budget multiplied by 10x next year and not if - when you see them you're not gonna remember the tweet or the number so put it in your phone now.

the real question is, do all y’all good white minnesotans love your Black and brown neighbors enough to put your bodies on the line for them? because that’s the assignment.

This is @dreacarmen.bsky.social coded

A personal update: I have been unemployed long enough to finally follow through on a project I've long toyed with. For years, I've been following Minnesota's appellate dockets and posting about notable or interesting cases and decisions. Now, I've spun that off into @minnappct.watch

Please fill this out and tell Metro Transit we need BATHROOMS

hot take: RCV is not difficult and I like it just fine 🫠

no joke, my biggest disappointment of this election was not being able to vote for my friend @jasoncomix.bsky.social ! they’ve already done an astounding job, it’s all uphill from here lol

Per the Star Tribune, disgraced Minneapolis police officer Tou Thao has been released from prison.

All of @racketmn.com to the mayor

Allegedly stealing money from a reward fund to find the shooter of 3 north side kids — after funding a PAC accusing Frey’s opponents of being soft on crime. That’s some evil shit.

Ughhhhhhhh I'm looking for work. I keep being told I am overqualified. I finally got offered a minimum wage + tips counter service job 6 days a week that will start the first week of November, but my bills are stacking up until then and I'm very stressed. Anything helps. V: reedeliot Memo: 🗣️

there are places and people never heard of before in this election cycle.

An Edison student who will be a First-Time voter asked me about this yesterday.

After the Mayor vetoed the Labor Standards Board, he had a letter read out loud in our council chambers where he said he would bring a proposal forward together in January 2025 with a unified vision and that the work “doesn’t end here." It’s October. He didn’t. He lied again.

people are justifying their AI use with “well, any tech you use uses data centers.” it’s like drag racing a hummer and saying it’s the same as commuting in a prius.

One thing I wish we would do far, far more in our ped/bike/transit writing and advocacy is acknowledge the time tax those modes of transport often incur, and what it means for people to absorb that tax. When we don't, I think it makes us a bit dishonest and weakens our advocacy!

RIP D'angelo. Black Messiah is a top 5 of all time record.

on MPR News, @claymasters.bsky.social interviewed Ilhan Omar about her Mpls mayoral endorsement, the ongoing shutdown and peace in Gaza: www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

More from today's initial light rail vehicle roll down the Southwest LRT route. Construction began in 2018 and Metro Transit says passengers will ride in 2027. Over the Kenilworth Channel, leaving W Lake St Station, arriving at W 21st St Station, exiting the Kenilworth tunnel.

Antifa allegedly (at worst) destroys property. ICE demonstrably (as a bare minimum) destroys people. But to MAGA this is redundant, since they believe “those people” are or should be their rightful property.

gel caps are for math autism, tablets are for train and infrastructure autism

the fact that there have been 4 or 5 separate documents compiled of reasons not to vote for frey over months now speaks to a distinct lack of organization. and a lack of searching before doing, which ultimately is what leads to this duplication of efforts and wasted time

For our community member involved at today’s horrific shooting-

Fateh for Day Mayor.

i’m at city hall for a presser by mpls for the many and their coalition

Pinning ceremony for gus! Vote @jason4parks.bsky.social for mpls parks!!!!!!

I have a new bit lol: if you're proud to own a tesla and think it helps the environment, you just might be a frey voter

I billed 8x time fighting Becka's bullshit cases against Taylor and John than Becka raised from her allies

Update: Becka Thompson has finally filed her campaign finance report, 13 days late. The report makes it clear that donors have largely abandoned her (except Brian Rice, who appears to have exceeded the maximum contribution limit by giving her a total of $800 in 2025 to date).

okay guy

On its face, this seems like a reasonable argument. However, when examining these types of arguments, they can fall apart when the policies that “divide” people are designed to help the people in need. Trying to help those with less should be a uniting message, not divisive.

no trans renter in minneapolis knows how to drive, all they know is eat hot chip, charge they phone, oppose policing, and lie

it’s always “what of the feelings of the transphobes?” and never “what of the feelings of people offended and harmed by transphobes?” why should the DFL risk alienating people who are pro-trans to accommodate dumb bigots? that seems like an even worse plan, but I guess that’s just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Minneapolis centrists don't sell out our trans neighbors challenge: difficulty level, IMPOSSIBLE

minneapolis took open streets away from our streets and will now be doing one less because of the city budget. but we are supposed to believe this wasn’t retaliatory for our streets’ work and planned from the start

as a round-about truther, yes. if the british can figure it out, we have no excuse. get it together, people!

Marvina lawn signs are here! 📣 Let your neighbors know you’re standing with a candidate who’s for the people not politics as usual. 💜 🏡 Putting up a Marvina Haynes for City Council sign is more than decoration, it’s a statement that you believe in justice, stability, and real community change.

The saying goes: "if you come at the King, you best come correct, but don't worry about it too much because in campaign finance court you get unlimited shots at the King."

“having your own personality doesn’t make you better than anyone!” - the most condescending, biggest martyr-complex-having person i’ve ever met

just a reminder, while Becka continues to waste resources in her foolhardy pursuits, she is in fact a CURRENT representative of North Minneapolis, and doing absolutely nothing for it. if that strikes you as wrong, I suggest dropping her a line about it (she does in fact read her own emails 😉)

Becka Thompson and Carol Becker are 0 for 3 and I just think that's neat!!

Happy Tuesday. Today's topics: -Is it just me or is everyone getting really soft and acting like every thunderstorm is some earth shattering event? -What era and place in world history do you wish we had more media set in? -What's the best time to wake up in the morning?

If you can’t support us monetarily right now, I totally understand! I’d also be honored if you sign up for my mailing list to hear more about our campaign, volunteer to help us connect with District 4 neighbors, or send a testimonial about why you’re with Jason for MPRB. www.jasongarcia.org/join

It’s my birthday! What I’d like more than anything is some extra support for our campaign to help the MPRB move away from the status quo and in a better direction for equitable, accessible parks and better conditions for parks workers. Can you pitch in today? secure.actblue.com/donate/jason...
