Supportive Housing has proven to be the most effective way to keep folks transitioning from being unhoused to having stability. The Feds took $50 million away, and we need the state to step up! Contact leaders today! secure.everyaction.com/NIYHp2KLqEqg...

MPD paid out over $3 million to officers for more than 85,000 hours of standby overtime been Jan 7 and Feb 22. Standby overtime compensates officers for "remaining available to respond" within 60 minutes.

amazing may day news that the mayor is gonna use money he bragged about to fund a festival meant to minimize the city’s own 1934 attack on organized labor while withholding that money from some of the wards that need it most- represented by the council members he hates the most. god i hate him!

Trump sent a mob to massacre Congress on 1/6/21 and Tom Emmer voted to let him get away with it. Seems pretty uncivil!

Here are some ways to help Minnesota with all the essential but less visible needs. But also, go get involved with your own community. Make new friends. Get those networks going. Learn what orgs in your city are already doing good work that needs support. Don't wait. www.standwithminnesota.com

Dems should be running on UBI and M4A. The time to go big is now.

Has the Supreme Court ever previously struck down all or part of a duly-passed, constitutional law on the grounds that Justices feel like the law achieved its goals and feel like the goal would stay achieved without the law so therefore it shouldn’t be in force anymore? Because that’s legislative.

We must understand that the Voting Rights Act was not merely about ensuring Black Americans rights, it was about democratizing America. This ruling is not just a decimation of Black rights and Black Americans’ ability to have representation, it is a fatal blow to multiracial democracy.

Angie Craig was the only Democrat in MN to vote for Trump’s cruel immigration bill. When asked about it, she stood by the vote. Angie Craig praised ICE. Angie Craig is not the leader Minnesota needs or deserves.

Some pretty crazy stuff that somehow didn’t make it on the air.

People who have described President Trump as "fascist" include individuals who served in his first term as his White House chief of staff, defense secretary (x2), and chairman of the joint chiefs. It's not name-calling -- it's a warning. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/how...

Nothing to see here....

Here is some more reporting, showing CM Chughtai had co-authored a budget amendment back in 2023, earmarking $300K just for the Uptown program. Yesterday, the City announced they have $1 million for Uptown's ambassador program.

"Operation Metro Surge did more to disrupt church services than any single protest at Cities Church.... The pastor of the bilingual congregation Dios Habla Hoy reported that about 80% of his Latino congregation stayed away from church out of fear." minnesotareformer.com/2026/04/21/c...

This is the Boundary Waters. It's a million acres of wilderness with 1,000s of lakes with water so clean you can drink it. Today, the Republicans in the Senate are trying to sell it out to a foreign mining company. Call your senators today at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to vote no on HJR 140.

@klobuchar.senate.gov I hope you are joining @smith.senate.gov and voting against the bill that threatens the BWCA!

In January, MPD internal records show that show Priority 1 domestic abuse calls (categorized as Dabuse) in Minneapolis waited 30–88 minutes for a response. Priority 1 means immediate threat to life or safety—calls that are supposed to receive the fastest possible response.

Minneapolis council members who frequently take opposing sides of controversial issues are united against a plan to eliminate the public hearing and confirmation process for certain mayoral appointments. wedgelive.com/minneapolis-...

"Given the geopolitics, cuts to support for Metro Transit could not come at a worse time, and state lawmakers should reject this idea," writes Bill Lindeke in Cityscape. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

Our community continues to face an extreme housing crisis cause by Operation Metro Surge. Recent reports by Homeline show that eviction filings are up by 18% in Minnesota compared to this time last year. I am proud to bring forward an extension of the 30 pre-eviction notice period to 45 days.

@lindseyportmn.bsky.social Fun Fact: Approximately 40% of Senate District 17 Renters are cost burdened. mhponline.org/wp-content/u...

She calls it a "council meltdown" for them to reject a nominee for cause. Budget overruns, department mismanagement, trying to give a contract to a guy who livestreams violent threats against the council.

The Secretary of State attending a UFC fight while wartime diplomatic negotiations fail would generate an explosive, front-page, above-the-fold headline for any previous administration

astronauts on the moon. affordable college for everybody. building a ton of housing for families. vaccines to end cancers. we can have all this cool stuff if you just vote for the people that want to do it. we can do so much great stuff. put down your anger. great things are right there.

It's not accidental. Nearly 79% of trash incinerators in this country are located in communities of color. North Minneapolis. Communities like ours. (1/5)

"There is no documented example, in the United States or anywhere in the world, where sulfide ore copper mining has operated without pollution over time," writes Ward Brehm in Community Voices. www.minnpost.com/community-vo...

Knock doors, make phone calls & show up for our MN progressive legislators this summer and fall. We’ll need a progressive Trifecta to pass real change over a Klobuchar veto.

Two absolute musts are universal basic income and healthcare. Survival itself must be decoupled from employment. In addition, we also need to do: 4-day weeks, universal pre-K to college, end gerrymandering via multiwinner districts and proportional RCV, expand SCOTUS, add states (DC+PR), Nuremberg 2

Just a reminder that over a year later, none of the businesses destroyed by the department run by Margaret Anderson Keliher have reopened. www.fox9.com/news/busines...

"This awakens the consciousness of our city" Pastor Charvez Russell of Greater Friendship Missionary Baptist Church stands with hunger strikers demanding clean air for all. Hennepin County: call the vote to close the HERC trash burner by Dec. 31, 2027. Delay = Harm. #FreedomToBreathe #minneapolis

All of Minneapolis won’t tell you the truth. Council Member Shaffer and Council Member Palmisano voted against the $2.8 million in rental assistance. How is this effective policy? This proposal was proposed by the progressives on the city council.

Nothing says "Happy Easter!" like this...

Great review of the awesome dining scene in Minneapolis. www.cntraveler.com/story/eating...

Minnesota will never forget Pam Bondi’s interference in the investigations into the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti at the hands of federal agents. That will always be a stain on her record.

The Bondi firing will get all the attention but what Hegseth is doing with the upper echelons of the military is much more dangerous over time than Bondi’s tenure as AG. And it won’t get 1% of the coverage. Someday it will get a lot of coverage, and those will be dark days.

@cbsnews.com Despite profiting a record $2B in 2025, @Xcel is AGAIN asking the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to raise gas rates for nearly 500,000 Minnesotans – an 8.7% increase to already-rising bills.

The recent reports that it will cost Minnesota $20 Billion per year to do nothing, means we need to move faster to transition to clean energy! @minneapolismn.gov needs to ramp up implementation of the Climate and Equity Plan!

We deserve a Hennepin County Attorney with clear priorities and a real plan to prosecute ICE. Here is how I will get it done: www.cedrickfrazier.org/accountability

There’s a reason it takes FOIA requests (and being sued to comply) for ICE to release arrest data: The overwhelming majority of people detained have no criminal history. And those so-called “immigration violations”? Often, it's people waiting years for court dates in a broken, backlogged system.

Stephen Miller needs to pay for his actions. I won't settle for him melting into the bushes and ending up in a think tank somewhere. He needs to stand trial.

As reported by @2024dion.bsky.social on the other site, Akron OH just released plans to tear out part of their inner freeway and build 4500 new homes on its ruins. We need to do the same to I-94. The message to @mndot.mn.gov is clear: "never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."
