the City of Boise's increasingly aggressive campaign against the state's repeated attempt to ban pride flags flown by cities is extremely funny

you do not have enough hate in your heart for those in power

Given how close the primary was, it seems likely she could have won if she had held the exact same policy positions but refused campaign money from AIPAC. Hard to imagine other Dem politicians not noticing and learning the lesson.

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

Based on the overwhelming consensus that I’ve heard in both public feedback and private conversations from government officials, service providers, encampment residents, and public health experts, I do not believe we are prepared to responsibly close the encampments beginning tomorrow.

The MPD's inability to stick to budget is costing these people their jobs. Fire the MPD leadership first. All of them. Not just ohara.

MPD was ~$30m over budget last I checked. Frey is an embarrassment.

Sure would be a shame if the City had spent decades building its entire economic development policy around Downtown commercial landlords who also happened to be the main political allies of the Mayor who got caught holding the bag when the entire paradigm of work permanently shifted 🫣

More than 100 city employees could be laid off in Minneapolis in the first major layoffs in 16 years as the city faces a $33 million budget gap.

in insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...

The road to fascism was paved with "Reddit atheist" and "shrill feminist" and "blue hair and pronouns". The vanguard wasn't the rabid reactionaries. It was the "normals", "apoliticals", who tolerate occasional sexist comments but mock the "cringe" of well-meaning and earnest but awkward people.

The meeting hall in the former Cataract Masonic Temple is an astonishingly beautiful and little known treasure in the Marcy-Holmes neighborhood of Southeast Minneapolis. Here it is in 1926 and now:

The Amsterdam we see now didn't spawn into existence out of nowhere. It was built over five decades through the fierce advocacy of parents and residents who wanted a brighter future. We aren't Amsterdam, but after a few decades of work we certainly could be a city which has a similar success story!

Naysayers re: biking for transportation in Minneapolis: “This isn’t Amsterdam.” Minneapolis parents: “So what? We’ll make our own version.”

While it certainly wasn't the only factor, collective covid measures followed by a summer of major uprisings are a reminder of how terrified the gentry are of people realizing they can act and work together. They're pushing hard to erase the memory of that entire time period for a reason.

Dave Andress@davidandress.bsky.social · 4d ago

Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

if reports are true they're starting to put these cameras up around dispensaries in michigan to try and track all those out-of-staters driving in for cannabis flock has always been about privately-owned state surveillance

I was about to make a post expressing surprise at a local theater (Riverview) putting on a HP movie marathon, but it’s not that surprising. Just a little disappointing, I guess.

This administration truly cannot live down the assessment that they'd all prefer to be podcasting than doing their actual jobs.
