Do you think it’s intentional, like how scammers will intentionally misspell things etc to ensure they only get the most gullible? Or is it them believing their own hype. I’m 50/50 on it 🥴

@taylordahlin.com does campaign finance reporting the best, but beyond 👀 at these PACs’ bananas heavy handed misinformation campaign (it’s a lot, thank you local duckling), I am wondering why no other paid journalist ever bothers to investigate or report any freaking facts

Why is my dnd character as bad at convincing people about basic human rights as I am??? Where’s my fantasy game 🤨

This is exactly like Frey’s crew - including Lydia - on encampments tho. “The best thing is for people to not be homeless” ok what are you doing to support those people then??? (Hemorrhaging city money bulldozing encampments, putting up fences, and shifting homeless people to less visible spots)

It's weird for a candidate to say they want to challenge the mayor when they are also chiding the incumbent council member for.... challenging the mayor

Millard says she's a balanced leader. "I'm not running in alignment with the mayor because I want to challenge the mayor."

Is Lydia handing out mortgages 🧐
dexanderson.com
"the best rent control is a thirty year mortgage" is a hell of a thing to say in a ward that's majority renter.

if i could buy a house, i wouldn't need rent stabilization, LYDIA.

I don’t get how anyone thinks people or party can improve when they never think or talk about what’s already been done 🤷🏻‍♀️ like even if I try to take them in good faith I don’t know how they think a society works

Davis Moturi email to city council, read aloud by CM Wonsley Wednesday. Sees similarity between his case & Mariah Samuels: "A black person in fear for their lives, and a department who can't be bothered to forward a case for consideration of charges in our time of greatest need."
Hi Council Members,
My name is Davis Moturi. In October 2024, I was shot in the neck by my neighbor John Sawchak after dozens of attempts to get help from MPD the year prior.
I'm writing to you today to ask that the City of Minneapolis make public, the results of MPD's review of the Department's handling of my case and any changes they have made to their
procedures based on the results of their review.
In an MPR article by Cari Spencer in April a spokesperson from MPD revealed that "MPD has conducted a thorough review of the violent incident." They also shared that the Department is "committed to implementing necessary changes, procedures and partnerships to address any identified gaps when these reviews are concluded."
If they have made changes based on the results of their internal review, the public should know 
If they have made changes based on the results of their internal review, the public should know what changes they've made and what specifically from their handling of the case led them to make those changes. If they are not making any changes based on their review, the public should know why they won't begin that process if, by their own admission, there are "necessary changes" that need to be implemented. I recently learned of the murder of Mariah Samuels, and noticed that both of our cases are eerily similar. A black person in fear for their lives, and a
department who can't be bothered to forward a case for consideration of charges in our time of greatest need. The community and I deserve answers- and accountability.
I look forward to your response.
Davis Moturi

the government should not be able to smash into your home and drag you into the street for no reason. it's kind of a core civil right, perhaps THE core civil right.

What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops").

Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.
Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties.

Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours before agents finally let him go.

“I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up,” Jones said. “I asked if they had a warrant, and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.”

So government shutdowns are a big deal and a slap in the face to tax payers. AND, this one needed to happen; because if the GOPs budget and health care cuts go thru, people will end up dying

And this is just my tiny corner as a medical librarian - seriously, the service interruptions are the point, they want us to think our government services dont work; so they’ll fund them less, so they’ll work less…

Right now that just means nobody is getting the rarer articles only the NLM has. But if anything goes wrong with the document lending site / system, there will be no one to fix it and there won’t be lending at all. That means literal interruption to patient care in some cases.

Government infrastructure and govt workers make our lives better every day, and you don’t notice because the whole point is for systems to work as they should. Like in my little piece of the world, we get healthcare workers the articles they need - except now National Library of Medicine is closed.

Yikes. That should never be the response to anyone struggling, and I’m sorry that anyone said it to you 💜 Honestly hate seeing all the “mental health matters” posts, seems like the same people ignore that you can’t always “just get through it” when they’re asked to actually care about mental health

“File a challenge there instead” oh to a group that doesn’t have any deadline to even acknowledge receipt of a complaint, let alone review it? The one with the same people in charge who are also not required to recuse themselves, and don’t share the ID of who actually reviews the complaint? Sure Jan

The DFL should have ACTUAL RULES on basic ethics like:
-recusing when you’re in a complaint
-a deadline to resolve code conduct complaints
-transparency for who decides code of conduct complaints
-a limit to how many positions of power a single person gets

You might thing I’m taking about Republicans, but they’re busy cashing out while it goes to shit. It’s our fucking State DFL who insists on using republican tactics to game a system - so fucking eager to keep each of their five committee seats that they’re wiling to kill the party to do it

Your choice is change to make things better, or give in inch by inch just trying to maintain the status quo while our quality of life plummets and our protections erode.
