This is so infuriating. Like with Uvalde, when the rubber hits the road, these cowards will not put their bodies on the line to protect citizens. In the most dangerous situations, they don't step in. So why do they need all this military equipment? They only use it against protestors.
Yesterday someone (can’t remember who on Bluesky) noticed an AI prompt the journalist forgot to remove from the beginning of one of the articles
Ghost and Beehiiv are the two my most Leftist/progressive news sources have moved to from Substack in the last couple years
The hold that harmonicas had on 1990s music!
Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.
ICE is still kidnapping people in Minneapolis.
They live in Minnetonka now??!
What’s your favorite thing TP has been used for outside of its stated purpose?
Pretty sure Whitaker told him to take off for the day after he found him in the ambulance bay
Yeah, busy driving their military grade vehicles to 35th and Bloomington to tear down neighbor-made roundabouts!
Centrists on the Minneapolis city council are not writing legislation, not leading with bright ideas on any of the issues in the city, not calling any experts to the table, not studious or showing any depth of intellectual curiosity, they don't excel at anything but the status quo

Say hi to Eindhoven for me. I got stuck there overnight in 2006, pre smart phone. Truly the generosity of strangers prevailed to transport and shelter us that night, even if we did end up staying in a very creepy hostel (just some dude’s house with a bunch of clown puppets in one of the rooms)
Compression socks aren’t very metal, it’s true
Strained my neck blowing my nose today. This is 40.
Very impressive that you found this piece of appointment history!
I do feel like we’re closing in on an excommunication here.
Being forced to text the group chat (one young and two old Millennials, one Gen Xer) my questions about the definitions and origins of maxxing and mogging. Luckily one of us is on Tumblr, two of us are on Bluesky, three of us are on Instagram, and one of us is on TikTok
There’s been lots of news about the City Council voting down the appointment of Toddrick Barnette. This is a public memo from my office on the ways his leadership has missed the mark and what we want to see from the next Commissioner of Community Safety.

50/50! I forgot that existed
I’d love to be added!
Never forget the random person who announced on Bluesky that they ranked Fateh #1 and Frey #2
I legit almost left my block’s WhatsApp chat because I turned into this after trying to engage with my neighbor. I don’t have the patience of deep canvassing apparently
Are we seeing extra scrutiny from anyone other than CMs and residents who already would scrutinize MPD? Not saying we haven’t flipped anyone; more feeling disappointed and a bit hopeless about making change happen
Yep! Talked about how proud they were of how far MPD has come since 2020. And I live in Powderhorn.
My neighbor who is pro-police but anti-ICE continued to love MPD throughout Operation Metro Surge, using MPD as the anti-violent foil (????????)
WOW!!!
That is an incredible cover!
