Very pleased to see Whatever’s Saisonal from my little neighborhood brewery on this list! I drank so many of them this year that it got the point where staff didn't need to ask me what I was having. It was a sad day when it was taken off the menu, and I, too, hope it'll be back in 2026.

For no particular reason, thinking about all the Democrats in ND that supported this guy's run for governor in 2016 when I worked at the state party—some even raising money for him—because he was "one of the reasonable Republicans."

The attacks and hate directed at our trans neighbors is horrific. I sent a letter to our Minnesota U.S. Senators regarding the rights of our trans neighbors. 1/

This article is astonishing. Four Council Members are quoted about having restraining orders out against harassers, and a majority have them in total. Someone of the conduct in there is vile. If you have the stomach, worth a read to see what our electeds are dealing with.

I love you Powderhorn/ Ward 9 ❤️

Yesterday, Frey said he “will continue to work collaboratively with the Council” and that “voters were clear in their call for a collaborative approach from City Hall.” Waiting until Council couldn’t vote to override his humane encampment ordinance veto was cowardly and cruel to unhoused people.

Disheartening to see federal agents take two neighbors on 29th & Pillsbury. Chemical irritants were used on observers by them. MPD showed up on scene, created a pathway for these federal agents to kidnap our neighbors, and assisted with controlling the space. Disappointing and heartbreaking.

To our community.

the people of this great republic yearn for locomotive transport

To borrow a phrase from my boss, so much of what’s going on in our city is vile, racist, and disgusting. But I’m grateful to be a part of this office and getting to see just how deeply CM Chavez cares about our communities and how much work he puts in to move us in the right direction.

When Frey says that he's going to veto the humane encampment response ordinance while maintaining his administration's encampment policies, that is him telling us that he's okay with this sort of thing. Same goes for the CMs that voted against the ordinance.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote: https://propub.li/3MTlm33

I love the E Line, but it’s pretty disappointing to wait 20 minutes for one downtown during the after-work peak. Prior to the E, the 6 came by more frequently than that!

The final vote of the term for City Council was a resolution against using less lethal weapons for crowd control and supporting discipline in the police contract or discipline matrix if police officers violate the separation ordinance. Palmisano, Jenkins, & Vetaw voted no (Rainville was absent)

Ciao, Italy. You are a beautiful place with amazing food and lovely people. Here’s my favorite photo from the last ten days, enjoying with my two-year-old his favorite feature of our rural Tuscan villa (every 5-10 minutes, you could faintly see a passenger train going by in the distance).

Palestina libera! Again, love you, Italy.

We’re in rural Italy with our train-obsessed two-year-old. He was getting restless at our rental yesterday so we walked 20 mins to a bus stop, rode for 30 mins to the train station, picked a random town and rode the train there to get pastries and coffee and check out a holiday market. It ruled.

Monitoring? That’s it? Are you committed to publicly supporting the sanctuary state legislation? Restoring the healthcare you stripped away from undocumented immigrants who are adults? Banning the egregious human rights violations we saw today? Thought so.

i dunno, “cars need to have a driver” seems like it should be in the big book of car law somewhere

Last month when asked about a Waymo causing a fatal crash, their CEO replied, "we don't say 'whether,' we say 'when.'" This feels like it would have been useful to include in the article. Our streets are already dangerous enough due to cars, we don't need a new threat. No thanks indeed.

I'm proud of my law partners who worked diligently to secure this result for our client, giving her the opportunity to finally feel heard and believed.

Two things I find interesting (Minnesota) about this important article: (1) not a single mention of Mayor Frey and his singular role overseeing OCS and MPD, and (2) this came out ten days after an election where the mayor's actions/inactions regarding public safety were a major issue.

So proud, and in awe, of the work done by @marabrust.bsky.social’s firm. www.startribune.com/jury-awards-...

Really happy for (and a little jealous of) my in-laws, who live in Seattle. They just got rid of their centrist mayor in favor of a progressive with plans to address homelessness, tax the wealthy, and a commitment to safer streets for people who get around without a car.

Democrats are such cowards. It’s not shocking each time they show their true colors but it’s truly incredible how readily they sell out any and everyone.

Being more responsive to his constituents than anyone else in City Hall, unapologetically progressive, and unafraid to speak out against the conservative forces holding our city back. Taken together, that’s how you put up these kinds of numbers.

Thank you, Ward 9! We earned 77.37% of the vote, and we are heading back to City Hall with a mandate. Jason Chavez The Kid from East Phillips

Sorry for cringe-posting, but I believe there’s real value in the politics of joy. The Frey Guys just seem like genuinely miserable people who think it’s edgy and funny to be assholes without a care as to whether you like them or not. I imagine that attitude comes from the top-down.

This is embarrassing. Mayor Frey is propping up anti-labor candidates and this should be disqualifying. It’s time for new leadership. Leadership that will support labor and workers.

I live amongst Frey’s base (W13, Linden Hills). Caveat that signs don’t vote, but Jazz by far has the most, and there are more Fateh+Davis than Frey. Six months ago I would have thought that was impossible. So I’m cautiously optimistic! I also think we hold the majority on council at net zero.

I agree with what everyone else has said regarding how gross and dumb this is. But my first thought when I saw it was that Soren is probably in a very good place if this is Josh’s closing argument a week before Election Day.

Oof. I'm guessing Lydia answered these Qs prior to her campaign people telling her that it's bad politics to oppose policies that her voters support. Answering "Abstain" to "Do you support the current mayoral administration's policy of encampment clearing?" is disqualifying on its own.

Not holding my breath to see whether Deena and her editors at the Strib deem it newsworthy that the City Auditor found that Frey has created an environment ripe for fraud with his resistance to oversight and accountability.

Looking up something from a month ago: Deena Winter “NOOO too much work” Finding something Omar Fateh said in 2015: Deena Winter “I’m on it”

Because the mayor forgot to mention it, I’ll remind folks that he vetoed the budget for the Dinkytown lights—champion led by @robin4mpls.bsky.social— because they were a “pet project.”

The government has been shut down for three weeks and Sen. Klobuchar thought, “you know what? Now seems like a good time to help the Republicans put more of their people on the federal bench.”

Say what you will about the French but they kinda nailed it with the whole “I’m gonna jet work early, hit the patisserie, and bike around chomping baguettes and ripping a cig”

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.

The way that Taylor has been out-reporting the Strib is both a massive credit to Taylor and an embarrassment to the state’s largest media outlet. The levels of completeness and factuality in Taylor’s reporting is truly impressive. It would be nice if the editors at the Strib were paying attention.

I’m legitimately interested to see how the election results inform the commission’s decision on this. I have my hunches.
