This is their playbook: No warning, no transparency, no coordination. Their goal here isn’t safety, it’s to sow chaos, fear, and intimidation.
We’re still gathering information about what happened in St. Paul, but what we do know is that once again, federal authorities provided no notice to local leaders or law enforcement.

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.

real ones know there is only one correct way to travel from NYC to DC (Amtrak northeast regional cafe car)
Q: Why did you fly here? Aren't trains greener?
MAMDANI: I will use every form of transit and I want to make sure they are all affordable in NYC
TRUMP: That's a lot quicker too, in all fairness. I'll stick up for you.

Rebecca Cunningham should resign. She was brought in because of her supposed expertise to negotiate a deal for the U hospital and medical school and has made a complete hash of it, while increasing admin spending. She's failed us.

Did Hodges mess up big time and lose the election over this? Yes. Has Frey messed up like 1000x worse but somehow got reelected twice? Also yes! Did the Strib clearly hate Hodges but love Frey? Yes again!

We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

When an issue like this is either lazily or purposely framed as specifically impacting homeowners, while ignoring any impact on renters, it contributes to stereotypes about renters. Do better @startribune.com
Many Minnesota homeowners will see higher than usual tax levy increases, which local officials blame on rising expenses and cost shifts from the state and federal government.
Property taxes are rising across Minnesota. See where homeowners could feel it most.

“Minneapolis ward boundaries changed slightly between 2021 and 2025 due to redistricting.”
That’s a major understatement. Ward 3 shedded nearly 10k voters in redistricting. Ward 2 lost 5k voters.
If you’re reporting on voter turnout, either compare with current precinct boundaries or don’t do it.

2008 Obama campaign looked at MS, w its large & potentially huge Black share of the electorate, & calculated they could win if they moved the white vote from iirc 18% Dem to 22% Dem. They polled, they did focus groups, tried all kinds of messages & concluded nothing could get them to 22% of whites
I understand why a lot of white liberals are like, fuck the south, because they think about the people in power who are mostly white conservatives. But that is only because of Jim Crow, voter suppression, a lack of real funding for Dems there
