Adult bathhouses were a part of Minneapolis nightlife. Then police and panic pushed them out Forty years after the adult bathhouse ban was passed, the city council is considering reversing it. A myriad of components led to the ban, but for several decades, public sexual spaces in Minneapolis ...

🧵 Everyone’s talking about the bathhouse ban in Minneapolis right now — but why did they actually close? Sources say bc increased police surveillance, a fear of AIDS and gentrification. In this deep dive I talk to all the key players about how closing them likely did more harm than good.

In 2018, at the urging of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, all major airlines including Delta barred the federal government from using their planes to transport migrant children who had been separated from their families by the first Trump administration. This followed a flight attendant's viral social media post describing 16 "scared" children in ICE custody being flown cross-country on a red-eye flight. At the time, the airlines claimed to have no knowledge of how or if their flights were being used to transport children in ICE custody - similar to the lack of knowledge Delta is claiming now.

Most airlines transported people in ICE custody in the past, though it was rare, according to AFA-CWA. The union said it may be happening now on other airlines without the crew's knowledge. "At a very minimum, we believe airlines must demand notice, then must advise crew, and must ensure they are not helping the government violate constitutional rights," the union said.

The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA noted that airlines, including Delta, barred the first Trump administration from using their flights to transport kids separated from their families.

Airlines must do so again now, they said.

After a decade, it's clear MnDOT didn't 'rethink' Interstate 94 Almost every alternative would cost $2 billion just to rebuild Interstate 94 with little functional improvement after years of talk.

I wrote about the lack of “rethinking” that went into the “rethinking 94” process. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

Mayor Frey can thank Minneapolis Public Housing Authority & affiliated nonprofit Community Housing Resources for 43 filings yesterday.
Significant bump in Mpls filings the past few days.

Approximate* Minneapolis eviction filings 3/1 thru 3/11:
2025: ~54
2026: ~237
A 339% increase compared to 2025.

Holy shit we are at $4170/6000!

I went to bed feeling hopeless but here we are already! Let's fucking go!!!

The same day Frey vetoed a temporary extension of the pre-eviction notice, the MN Senate passed rental assistance and… a temporary extension of the state’s pre-eviction notice. Jim Abeler voted for it so Frey & some CMs are to the right of some MN republicans.

www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/94/202...

It’s day 99 of the ICE occupation of MN.

We’re still out patrolling and raising money and delivering groceries to keep our neighbors safe.

Call and ask Mayor Frey to do the same by NOT vetoing Pause Evictions, Save Lives.
