Gai Noi in Loring Park.
Mok Paa, Khao Poon Gai, Crunchy chicken wings are favorites. Nice cocktails too.

Mission San Juan Bautista - seems like every 4th grader in Northern California went on this one before building a scale-model mission out of sugar cubes.
It's where they filmed Vertigo, though the bell tower was fake.

I pictured that whole thing being in Dunc's memory, and that's how a kid processed seeing an adult-sized unit, especially for a guy he remembers as especially manly. Funnier that way.

Just ordered! Not sure if you have any control over it, but it's weird that you have to enter your full contact info each time you add an item to your cart.

Hey now

Keith Ellison is an absolute must reelect.

I’d add Steve Simon as well for his protection of our voter data.

Absolutely beautiful Steve Sack

A sticker on a bus shelter reading "ALL MY FRIENDS HATE THE BOY MAYOR" and "Don't Rank Frey."

Anyway, still true.

“You ever stop to think how much more smoothly Minneapolis politics would function if Jacob Frey could be just like 15% less of a dick?”

On the heels of this post last night, I wrote about using the term "concentration camp" and why it matters.

They should try mutual aid fundraising

It seems like a real achievement for the MAYOR to come off more like an outsider & opportunist than someone actually involved in the defense of the city.

Just a big hug to all the anarchists in the Twin Cities who get dismissed all the time but knew exactly what to do when shit went down here.

Read the whole thing.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Hell yeah.

When you get visited by three Puerto Rican ghosts

Still used to make rum of course!

Amy Klobuchar running for Governor of Minnesota

VA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

This is so true. I have no problem with strategically voting for a Dem who isn't with me on, like, private health care or tax rates. But one who refuses to use the power they have to even try to stop this? It's galling.

They needed to get off Kuminga, and nobody was buying. They theoretically address a need (they haven't had a shot blocker since Bogut), and get a tradeable salary. LSS, there was zero chance they'd realize JK's potential, so it's a flyer on someone who has a chance to help.

people in minnesota are fired up against ICE, and we have no appetite for a politician like craig who voted for the laken riley act and a resolution in support of ICE

this campaign is going nowhere

It’s day 64 of the ICE occupation of MSP.

Today ICE officers once again arrested observers at gunpoint, caused lockdowns of neighborhood schools, and harassed people on the street simply for their skin color.

Nothing has changed, despite the rhetoric from “leaders.”
