Thank you for the history!

I wasn't here when Wellstone was, so I can't say — did these folks honestly endorse and support Wellstone at the time? I have a hard time believing that, but maybe!

Also, we're talking about someone specifically calling Paul Wellstone a moderate as a beacon for her own politics, not someone simply not knowing much about him!

That doesn’t make me feel much better! (Better than having Demello win, though)

This was a wild ride 🎢

God, I heard did and started belly laughing. This whole podcast… glad I’m not a Ward 11 voter

Showing up to an event like that demonstrates his integrity and commitment to his community!

He teaches physics doesn’t he? Pretty sure he was at my freshman year orientation

This is why I still feel like a bit of an interloper in Minnesota even though I’ve lived here longer than in Milwaukee. Milwaukee has Great Lakes culture, which is distinct from Upper Midwest.

William Hazen @williamhazen.bsky.social · 4d

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

Not enough Ward 11 gossip on Bluesky!

When It comes to local politics, you can be a freak like me and pay attention to everything, or you can do the shortcut and ask your landlord who you should vote for and then vote for the other candidate.

Minneapolis Park Board District 4: Jason Garcia wins the coveted Naomi Kritzer endorsement. Some consider it more prestigious than Jason's DFL endorsement.

Election 2025: Minneapolis Park Board, District 4

This district is currently represented by Elizabeth Shaffer, who is running for the Ward 7 City Council seat. I don’t like Shaffer; she is central to all my current grudges against the curren…

Shelley Madore doesn’t actually live in Ward 2 — she rents an apt in Prospect Park to claim residency. She also accuses Robi of grandstanding rather than practicality… the same @robin4mpls.bsky.social who’s passed more unanimous legislation than any other CM.

Minneapolis Ward 2 election could play pivotal role in City Council control

Incumbent Robin Wonsley and challenger Shelley Madore focus on housing, affordability and public safety in ward surrounding the U.

When we walked by Ari said “this is too spooky!” but had a big smile on her face. Four year old approved 🫡
