local police will help ICE. they will never help us. please let the fantasy go.
“minneapolis police chief brian o’hara will stand up to ICE.” no he won’t. that isn’t true.

There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office.
And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.

I'm incredibly disappointed that following the major attacks on trans healthcare this week, there have seemingly been no statements in support of trans rights from @governorwalz.mn.gov @dfl.org @smith.senate.gov or @amyklobuchar.com

Oh cell phones in schools are bad you say? Duh, what would your high school have been like if every student’s desk had a gaming console, a camera, a stack of leisure reading material, and a secret communication system connected to all their friends

rizo and sophi should have voted out sage with kristina. they didn’t need savannah’s vote. would have been potentially been a winning move for one of them, if you think that sophi still wins F4 immunity and kristina wins fire over savannah #survivor49

Brooks should be driven out of public life. The fact that he knew there were photographs of himself with Epstein and he didn't disclose that while also telling people that they should move on is just straight up unethical.

Idiots.
If your highest value is winning, that might give you 2 years of power.
If your highest value is actually implementing policies that are sustainable and provide shared prosperity for everyone & civil rights for all, play the long game.

Getting to the point in the snowfall/mashdown/melt/freeze cycle where property owners who've taken no action to shovel should be eligible for aggravated assault charges.

White neighbors, reports from Latino and Somali businesses on Lake Street are that their numbers are down as much as 90%. Their clientele are scared to go out. We can help with this. Show up, show your support, spend money. And bring your whistles.

some amazing contenders for the “no one has ever heard of this movie but somehow it got nominated for makeup and hairstyling” award for the year. that branch truly judges the craft and not the overall quality of the film. admirable!

There is nothing to suggest Angie Craig is not a fighter. Quite the opposite.

I'm driving the 4 this evening and every passenger has had to climb a mountain to board the bus.
To be clear, this route runs from Bloomington, through Richfield, through Mpls, all the way up to Columbia heights.
Disgraceful.

The busiest bus line in the most populous county in Minnesota is the D Line.
These photos were taken within a block of it on either side. Even if sidewalk clearing occurred, parking clearing took precedent.
Municipal sidewalk clearing is a moral obligation. Frey opposes it, Schaffer opposes it.

From earlier this week…
Multi lane highway cutting through the city: perfectly clear
City street: well cleared
Sidewalk: covered in snow (w/ many footprints)
We need more investment in clearing our sidewalks so everyone (not just drivers) can get around in winter.
