Also this is money raised not spent.

Becka Thompson wins the Great Value Award for the council candidate with fewest dollars spent per vote received - $4.21. She still lost big to Aurin Chowdhury ($6.47). Shelley Madore ($62.31) outdid Lydia Millard ($42.59) for biggest spender per vote. Both of them lost big.

40 billion to Argentina. 40 billion.

Here's a ward map if you need it.

Tesla shareholders voted to offer Elon a trillion dollar incentive. But whether he gets it or not is up to us. He's gotta sell millions of cars and robots to bring in that ungodly sum. If you want to block it, join us in the streets #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

Pretty sure 42 million starving Americans counts as a catastrophe

I'm a disabled artist in Puerto Rico, and this is the last week to order a pet commission with a print or canvas to receive it in time for the holidays 🖤 destinytoro.com/ko-fi

My gut reaction, looking at this map, is the people who encounter the homelessness epidemic everyday voted to remove Jacob from office. Those who don’t encounter this problem day to day had other concerns not addressed by the other campaigns.

Don't worry, though, she's still awful

ProPublica identified 20 segregation academies in Mississippi that received almost $10 million over six years through a state-funded program. At least eight opened with an early boost from state-funded vouchers in the 1960s. (Published Nov. 2024)

Elon and Marco are genocidaires and I hope they are one day tried in chains at the Hague.

Yeah, I'm calling bullshit on layoffs and cost cutting being the result of AI adoption. A recession is coming, & these companies know it

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...

Scared New Yorkers of privilege, consider moving to Minneapolis, where capitalism disguised as wealthy white liberalism still reigns supreme!

Given how Twitter filters worked, I also unchecked "misleading" content or "conspiracies" because again, these are flags conservatives use to spam legitimate news reporting, thus keeping you from seeing it if you have these filters on.

I will also note that these filters, as seems inevitable, wind up only filtering liberal leaning content. I have seen plenty of violent videos of ICE agents kidnapping people, despite pretty much every filter being on when I checked my settings. Apparently conservative violence doesn't count. 🙄

Remember that people do abuse these tags to keep you from seeing content they don't like. You may think you don't want to see threats but conservatives flag anything hostile toward their Great Leader as threats, for example. Keep that in mind as you pick your filters.

Some of the filters are useful and you may want them. I do have sexually explicit content hidden bc I got tired of seeing porn in my news feed, it's not what I use bsky for. There are filters for content that may be triggering, too. But you probably want to turn off the "rude" filter, among others.

Next select Settings, and then Moderation on the next screen. At the bottom of the Moderation page under "Advanced" is a section called "Bluesky Moderation Service" that looks like an info box. It in fact leads to more settings.

I cannot understand why they wanted everyone to automatically have rude content hidden, this is like 90% of the content on the site

The "service" includes settings for hiding certain types of content, warning you that the skeet contains such content before you see it, or simply turning off the filter. If you've never been here before, you'll find things like "rude" or "threats" are set to "Hide".

This means if you are in the habit of saying things like "fuck Trump" or "I hope Cheney burns in hell", probably a good amount of your feed isn't seeing those posts because, unbeknownst to them, Bsky has shielded grown adults from "rude" "threats" like this.

I'm going to be laughing about this all day, gang. The people in that room pretending to care about people's health did not give a FUCK.

I’m sure people much smarter than me about this kind of stuff will tell my why I’m wrong, but it does seem that progressives need to knock it off with trying to come up with elaborate RCV strategies to win elections, and just run a single, good candidate.

Newsmax's immediate response to the medical emergency in the Oval Office: "President Trump we want to be clear is okay"

What a thing to say as you're cutting SNAP benefits and literally starving people!

So, starvation was part of the plan all along?

funny to look back. this was the moment that sealed us getting a pro-labor, progressive park board majority!

like, this precinct includes park lane. because it all comes back to the cedar lake encroachers! brian fitterer who gave $500k to trump lives here. the republican donor from ward 7 convention lives here

I hate the city’s ward map, but is this roughly the ward? South of cedar lake, north of Lake Street, France Ave to Dean parkway? If so, the ~1700-odd ballots cast there has to be nearly every person of voting age, right?

It does include the Jones-Harrison retirement community and the condos behind the strip mall with the Barnes and Noble

Say what you want about me but I been consistently banging the drum about how RCV sucks IN PRACTICE from a non-partisan perspective

Yes, the candidates did technically run as individuals but they very clearly needed to be running like Mamdani and Lander in the primary. In conclusion, I hate RCV and demand we at least go to runoffs.

One thing about the Minneapolis mayoral race is that the challengers basically ended up running a nebulous Anyone But Frey campaign. People in NY (clearly) HATED Cuomo but Mamdani still had run that primary like it was FPTP and not RCV.

People who love ranked choice voting - please explain to me how it helped your candidate and cause this week. Especially want to hear from Minneapolis people.

Anyone know how to find population data of specific precincts? I am struggling to find it.

The amount of men openly licking their chops at the fantasy of women being forced into sex work in order to afford groceries - is a feature - not a bug.
