My photo is being used in a campaign ad for Anders Folk. It will come as a surprise to literally no one who has ever met me - I am not supporting his bid Hennepin County Attorney. I've asked that my photo be removed from all materials, & reported the ad. If you see the video, please report it, thx!

lord, i see what you've done for other cities....

THEY TOOK DOWN THE PHOTO! Thank you all for your support and getting the message out.

My name is Ali Daniels. I took the photo of Liam Ramos, and the PAC North Star Dawn is using that photo in paid advertisement to spread lies about Peggy Flanagan. They do not have my consent to use the image, and I am prepared to take legal action if it is not taken down. @angiecraigmn.bsky.social

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

ICE agents shouldn’t be executing people on the street even if they ARE the target of the warrant

michael rainville starts off his newsletter defending data centers, having toured the sleep number site downtown this week with jamal osman (and downtown council president adam duininck). we know why the trade unions want them, it's build build build, but we gotta be more discerning here

If you’re a potential target of the feds, you should also have a conversation with your parents. If they want to get to you, they have historically been known to harass relatives to do so too!

It’s funny, because it’s not like any of the previous mayors shied away from big events or the spotlight, it’s just that with them the vibe was “this is important to everyone because I’m here” and Mamdani’s is “I’m here because I’m part of everyone and this is important to us.”

"People have stopped believing that the economy can be good, and have lost the willingness to admit that they are doing well. That pessimism might be harder to fix than an actual downturn," @annielowrey.bsky.social argues.

reminder as angie craig positions herself as anti establishment for dropping out of DFL endorsement process that every congressional chair endorsed her in april. out of touch party leadership & insiders backed her, newcomers turned out for peggy flanagan, motivated to try to do something about ICE
