After action reviews are honestly no longer enough. It tells the cops shoot now, ask questions later. It’s how Minneapolis is BURIED in millions of dollars of police settlements. It’s how journalists and Soren Stevenson lost full fucking eyeballs. Welcome to Hell St Paulites.
Carter said he stood by the city's police department, and Police Chief Axel Henry maintained his department did not violate the city’s separation ordinance.
Carter said Henry has begun a full review of the use of force during Tuesday’s response.

These gifts are nightmare fuel. Don't gift them to your friends. Don't gift them to your enemies, they don't deserve that either.
Christmas is coming, and the Black Friday sales signal we’re in peak gift-buying season.
When you’re picking out gifts for friends and family this year, there’s a whole slew of tech products that are better to avoid. I put together a guide to help you through it.

This is a list of Mormon names and a list of orthodox Jewish names
To zoom in on the partisan names, here, we're looking only at names used >100 times (in 2023) and only 50 names on the outskirts of the partisan divide, labelling the 5 outliers on each side and the 5 most commonly used on each side. inequalitybyinteriordesign.wordpress.com/2025/04/03/p...

I’m worried about so many things, but not lost in there is how on earth are we going to afford all the police brutality settlements.
Wishing best for MPR journalist Kerem Yücel, injured at an anti-ICE protest today, and robust state charges against the masked thugs who hurt him today.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

We could make Minneapolis THE destination for young professionals that want to move to a relatively affordable bike-friendly city.
In fact, it's already happening, but the city should double down to increase the effect and benefits it would have.

FR that stat of Minneapolis for me, a Missourian, is the #1 reason (if we don't include renting prices) I'm choosing to move to Minneapolis once I'm done with college.
I'm damn sure I'm not the only one in this demo looking to the twin cities area because of wanting to bike as an transit option!

Many Crime Watch pages aren’t objectively about solving problems & creating safer communities.
They’re often run by people looking to vilify, divide, & sow fear.

Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

Violating the First Amendment to hide the record of all their violations of the Fourth Amendment.
An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀
