Yesterday: I WILL MURDER WHOEVER IS EATING MY TULIP BULBS.
Now: omg i will die if something happens to this bunny.
I am not equipped to be a homeowner.
100% no. Someone taking responsibility for the safety of both my family and pedestrians shouldn’t be talking on the phone, and they shouldn’t put me in the position of having to say “no”. Fuck that guy.
In three months, @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social has:
-Vetoed an eviction extension that'll cause mass homelessness of our immigrant neighbors
-Never stepped out on a patrol during federal occupation
-Private meeting with Tom Homan with records deleted
-Told ICE to fuck off, did nothing about it
The ADA transition plan details how well the city is addressing non-compliant intersections. The 2024 report shows it would take *13-17 years* at current funding levels to bring everything up to ADA compliance. How much will this push that timeline back? lims.minneapolismn.gov/Download/RCA...
Absolutely wild shit to say you’re running for an office because you understand the complexities of the immigration system when your opponent is an immigrant
Northern Ontario’s Sandy MacEwan quad to force an extra end
dawanna witt's hennepin county sheriff's deputies are once again hiding their faces at the whipple building, just like ICE and CBP do
Congress must be rolling over in their graves right now.
It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.
They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.
if he just asked each of those CEOs to donate $1 million to a rent fund, we would be able keep people housed
but no we will get a concert and merch and more dramatic portraits of jacob
Mayor Frey meets with CEOs to plan events celebrating Minneapolis Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said he met with 15 CEOs today and plans are being made to hold a series of “galvanizing events” to celebrate Minneapolis.
oh FFS, maybe get them to throw some of that money into rent funds instead of a zip line
A lot of chatter about Hennepin county sheriff running unopposed.
What about Ramsey? I wasn’t able to find any info about whether someone is challenging Bob Fletcher. He should not run unopposed *again*
some times it feels like my head is permanently affixed to my desk
Kind of a kick in the gut to get a Klobuchar fundraising email from the Flanagan campaign. Gonna go check out #draftEMQ
daendeleon 2d @ Threads Greg Bovino was asked how he felt about his demotion today. "Well, obviously, I'm not happy", he replied. Someone in the crowd shouted back, "So which one are you?"
just choked on my beverage
Yesterday—the same day that the St. Paul City Council unanimously passed a resolution calling for a statewide eviction moratorium—the Public Housing Agency of the City of St. Paul filed 68 evictions.
Average of all alleged overdue amounts: $1,456
More than half are for < $1,000. A couple for < $100.
Thanks City of Saint Paul, this is much appreciated.
Now could you please do something about the harmful actions of your own Public Housing Agency?
They filed 68 evictions on the same day that the council took this on their eviction moratorium resolution, see here: bsky.app/profile/eric...
The accidentally correct framing several news outlets are going with
one of the agents said “okay we know” when we were whistling so i leaned in and whistled louder and he threatened to pepper spray me. i then said “are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” and he very meekly said “no i’m not scared of a whistle”
They wore yellow stars to complain about vaccine mandates
Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis

Jonathan Ross—the ICE fascist who killed Renee Good—is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, & active shooter trainer.
The people claiming "ICE needs more training" are missing the point. Ross's 2 DECADES of training IS what led him to execute Good. ICE Training IS the problem.
Abolish ICE.
Fuck body cams, the masks are the first thing that needs to go. Agents of the state working with the American public should be clearly identifiable. Local cops don’t get to mask.
Angie Craig is now arguing for the brilliant reform of ... making ICE wear body cameras.
Angie, Jonathan Ross filmed himself killing a woman on his own phone and released it to the press.
From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.
3. The fight to succeed Tina Smith The DFL faceoff between U.S. Rep. Angie Craig and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan for the Democratic nomination in the seat held by retiring Sen. Tina Smith is intensifying. Both would-be successors jumped in fast when Smith announced she wouldn't run again. The main event here will be the September primary with the winner advancing to November to challenge the Republican nominee. In a mirror of the national debate over the direction of the Democratic Party, Flanagan is running as a progressive with the backing of Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren, of Massachusetts, and Bernie Sanders, of Vermont. Craig is a centrist, a pragmatist who has succeeded with the bipartisan voters in the Second Congressional District in the Twin Cities' southeastern suburbs.
Evergreen skeet, but I’m so tired of middlebrow Strib opinion writers conflating “centrist” with pragmatic, like selling out to bitcoin billionaires is some model of reasonable. www.startribune.com/gov-tim-walz...
I'm glad that Congress isn't alive to see this
