Huh, u don’t say? I wonder where we’ve heard this before, years before? many times before? Minneapolis needs a true reckoning with itself the residents as well as the politics, particularly the comfortable residents

even tho I am not surprised, I continue to be stunned when I am discriminated against like what just happened to me. The stun is that these troglodytes run companies and have power in this country. U really dont want to walk around on guard, so u put it to the back of ur mind

“The borrowing let Ellison keep his stock and avoid locking in taxable gains, and highlighted how billionaires often employ a strategy called ‘buy, borrow and die’ to retain their wealth without selling assets.”

it is really withering to go from the murder of George Floyd + the uprisings of '20 to the apathy toward Kohen Wiley's murder in '26 - I guess that is the point of white supremacy, to wither our values and what u know is right, what u are willing to fight for, wither it into dust

It's that special time of year where we talk about the City Budget. Based on the questions I still receive I should be doing this twice a year. leaflet.pub/dae3de62-299...

Frey is such a piece of shit

Jacob Frey will put the smack down on ride share workers, but when it comes time to do his unitary job and stand up to police waste, fraud and abuse he is the meekest little mouse mayor.

Had to laugh at the relatively innocuous but indelible copaganda in the lead grafs here. IIRC Mols was the last Mn city PD that had a mounted patrol. You’d think they might mention that. www.startribune.com/mounted-poli...

Be so for real. MPD is consistently wasting their funding on unnecessary resources and taxpayers are funding their settlements for illegal actions. But the Star Tribune chooses to publish a story on saving MPD’s horses that are not making our city safer.

Philanthropy (Minnesota philanthropy especially) is a system that sets up a bunch of struggling people and orgs beholden to rich folks piddly giving, and then resents them for being beholden on the that same set up. it is tedious.

This administration sent a lawfully present immigrant, who has broken absolutely zero laws, to GUANTANAMO BAY because he's Black. There's literally no other reason. I'm out of words. This entire administration is lawless and corrupt. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

lots of orgs combining Comms and Development (fundraising) cuz they think or want to pretend these are interchangeable or combinable components ugh 🙄

the city of minneapolis had to pay the star tribune $31,500 to settle public records lawsuits already this year... what a waste of taxpayer dollars and they're apparently risking even more by continuing to refuse to hand over data www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

"They're Here," a 25-minute documentary about the wintertime immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, premiered at the Venice Film Festival this weekend. Two of the people behind the film joined Minnesota Now to talk about the project.

We need new leaders.

the existence of minneapolis spider-man makes me hope we get man-on-the-street interviews about them like in the first raimi movie

Thank you photographer Chris Juhn (and Minneapolis Spiderman of course) for this banger.

Jacob Frey called it “structural change” in MPD - understand, they are both full of shit. Their “dramatic reforms” are also horseshit. They are literally just saying anything, meaning nothing.

DA alludes here to the reality that we could’ve won, and maybe we would have, who knows! were it not for the powerful entities that defeated us in very specific ways over several years. What to do about that is different than tweaking messaging.

My basketball advice to my 11ur old son

I am extremely troubled by the amount of standby pay issued to MPD officers during Operation Metro Surge. MPD data shows some officers were paid nearly 24 hours per day for 32 days straight, while dozens were paid 8-12 extra hours each day while we stood out in the cold protecting our neighbors. 1/

The video of the police shooting Corey Ruiz in Wisconsin is as horrifying as it is painfully familiar. Time and again, we’ve watched law enforcement kill Black men with impunity, and leave families and communities devastated. No one should accept this as normal.

Heads up that there are videos circulating of the police lynching in Madison, WI. Good time to turn off video auto-play if you havent already. RIP Corey Ruiz. Fuck the police.

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

It's amazing how the convo about public safety, the police never have to produce any evidence of efficacy, on any particular level, and folks who irrationally scream for more police, despite police lack of proving, those voices get elevated when we need a rational convo the most.
