If you’re into sparrow feet have I got a photo for you

A sparrow perches on an orange umbrella in such a way that you can see just the shadow of the bird’s feet on the edge and a little gray tail sticking down

Aha, thank you! Is the idea that you can only rank each candidate one time?

Okay, Minneapolis RCV knowers: Let’s say Alice and Bob are running for an office, ballot says rank 3, and I only want to rank Alice. How should I mark my ballot?

1. Alice, Alice, Alice
2. Alice, blank, blank
3. Alice, write in Alice, write in Alice
4. some other way

Genuinely unsure here

"As a resident of north Minneapolis and pastor in south Minneapolis, he experiences how the present administration ignores too many people. When he talks about bringing dignity, justice and liberation for everyone, he means all."

Opinion | Why DeWayne Davis is the best choice for Minneapolis mayor

"His campaign’s theme, 'We Deserve Better,' emphasizes the 'We' that Jacob Frey and Omar Fateh miss," Peter Eichten writes.

I have taken
the freedom of speech
that was in
the Constitution

and which
you were probably
using
for peaceful protest

Forgive me
the courts said they were
so agitating
and so irritating

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Ok everyone, I’m assigning you your resistance homework for the week.

Everyone ready?

Do something silly that makes you smile. I just waved at a dog that had its head out the car window because it made me happy. Don’t let the assholes take your joy.

I can assure you that any disagreements you have with the government of the State of Israel do not give you any moral standing to threaten my shul's members to "watch out" and celebrate the grotesque horror of the October 7 attacks. Not here, not anywhere.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social · 2d

This morning, Temple Israel woke up to anti-Semitic threats — a reminder that hate still tries to find a foothold. It won’t find one here. Minneapolis stands with our Jewish neighbors. Hiding behind hate to spread fear aganst any religion or group of people is cowardly and unacceptable in our city.
