9/ That’s right — Jacob Frey wanted a “black friend” to run cover for him. Davis refused; the mayor acted like Davis owed him something for appointing him to the committee, in a cynically transactional calculation that twisted Davis’s volunteer public service into political fealty.

8/ The part the public DOESN’T know is that in the firestorm after Locke’s killing, Frey called Davis, then on vacation in Mexico. Davis — fully expecting Frey to discuss how to better control MPD — instead found the mayor pleading with him to fly home & stand with Frey at a news conference.

THREAD. Did you know that at about 1/3 of all stranger homicides in the U.S. are perpetrated by police? But there's something hidden here that is important to understand in this authoritarian moment.

There is something unnatural about Indiana being good at football.

Loved this story from Racket about the “bones store” at MOA. racketmn.com/remember-whe...

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Downtown business folks are the most shortsighted fools in town, fouling their nest to get back at DSA & shocked when people avoid downtown. One even hallucinated a stabbing! Also, landlords can’t deny funding Kupchella’s screed even as another is shocked it was so negative. They’re just morons!

Republicans are free to run for election and vote. The criticism here is the Democrat benefiting from conservative money—a purposeful strategy.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” Matthew Wasserbach, brokerage manager of Express Customs Clearance, said of the UPS backlog. “It’s totally unprecedented.”

The cyclical nature of trends: George Michael looks like your average Gen Z man.

Kingsley Bimpong should be alive. If we had public safety responses that cared for individuals instead of only looking for crimes this could have been avoided. Instead, Kingsley paid for it with his life and Dakota County taxpayers will be footing the bill for law enforcement’s indifference.

If a Republican could win in Minneapolis, then this is what their donor base would look like.

It’s a shame that @naomikritzer.bsky.social won’t give us her real opinions

Public works is massive! The quintessential government function is streets! The idea that the city council wouldn't get a confirmation vote for public works director is nuts. These charter commissioners have lost their minds.

So there is another guy named Dan - Runnin for D 1 parks- we are embracing the Engelhart- big signs on order/ have a very visible spot? Let us know? Really want the normal sized one with ‘just’ Engelhart? Let us know -also use my last name in EVERY CONVERSATION OK!

Laughable.

Tonight a resident posted a picture of racist and Islamaphobic language written on Johnson street that called for @omarfatehmn.com to be deported and wished death upon the Somali community. @doronclark.bsky.social and I showed up right away to get this racist garbage off of our streets

Too bad we’ll never know how they do it. Impossible to figure out.

I can live with this. PA is too east coast and the Dakotas, NE, and KS should be considered the Great Plains.

Just delivered a sign for someone who requested it because their landlord put up a Strahan sign. This shows the choice we have this election.

Elect someone who fights for renters who actually live here, or elect someone that voted in Ward 3 in January 2025 that’s having landlords put up his signs.

Well lookie here! For years, people have been saying that utilities should take the lead on distributed energy -- actually procure it, deliberately, where on the grid it is needed. Now Excel Energy in Minnesota is about to actually do it! Will 200 MW of distributed batteries.
