a lot of threads not being properly explored in the reformer article about downtown, like leaving the vibrant storefronts program at "they filled the storefronts but not enough of them" which as a 16 year resident of loring, that's not the issue with this program! it's the commercialization

critical eye on the city’s relatively new arts and cultural affairs department right now. strange loop is a success but i’m very curious to learn how many vibrant storefronts can become a viable business after their 2 years of subsidized rent is up

Wild that @klobuchar.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com had 50% more words for Graham than she had when the Hortmans were murdered

I got to know Senator Lindsey Graham traveling with him abroad in Afghanistan and Ukraine. We had just met to renew the fight for our Big Tech bill. Even though we disagreed on much, he was always willing to negotiate, with humor and wit. My heart goes out to his loved ones.

Klobuchar voluntarily posted this picture. Its one big party and we ain't in it.

As the government raids “antifa groups” in Minneapolis with the SAME charges levied against myself and the rest of the Broadview Six, we need to be asking how they got this indictment. And as charges (hopefully) get dropped, we must remember the process is the punishment.

BREAKING NEWS: The @startribune.com conducts a "Minnesota Poll" by calling random numbers in rural areas to deliberately stoke the flag controversy, then posts the resulting rage bait to Twitter - but curiously doesn't post anything about it here on BlueSky.

Your regular reminder that there ISN’T a “war on cars.” Any objective observation in most cities however, would conclude that for 60+ years there’s been a war on every mobility choice EXCEPT cars. And that’s been bad for EVERYONE, including drivers. Poster via @urbantruth.bsky.social. #UrbanTruth

Owner of World Street Kitchen says he got a bad review online after the last meeting. Asks if you disagree with him, please don't take it out on his business.

I just locked eyes with @bylert.bsky.social who gave me the best eye roll ever at the Vibrant Lyndale meeting. 🤣

so offensive for elizabeth shaffer to say NOTHING about cardamom workers who lost jobs to QR codes & who will lose them when restaurant closes. shaffer only says she will "miss the moroccan cigars." workers make our restaurants great while shaffer only talks of listening to owners and management

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

AOC’s biggest problem if she runs for president is that the white men who control our media ecosystem will not so much put a finger on the scale to stop her as an entire hand it can be done (see: Zohran) but it’s going to be blatant and it’s going to be infuriating

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

One thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of recent Super Bowl halftime shows have been shot in closeup for the home audience — to where people in the stadium wouldn’t be able to see what was happening. I don’t think that was the norm 10-15 years ago.

Oh the nerve of a Spanish language halftime show in a place called San Jose California

That was so fucking good.

This is action EVERY city in the country can take. If your hotels cooperate with ICE, goodbye liquor revenue.

A Minneapolis City Council committee delayed action Tuesday on renewing liquor licenses for two Minneapolis hotels that have housed federal immigration officers.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Some guy in the NFC West subreddit posted some pro ICE bullshit and now rams, 49ers, seahawks, and cardinals fans are getting along to tell this guy to fuck himself lol

Extremely funny that the champion of the revolutionary left/socialist boogeyman of Republicans everywhere is basically Leslie Knope.

One of the hardest things to do is bring campaign-level communications to the work of governance, and snowstorms are notoriously one of the biggest litmus tests that less-engaged voters use to judge mayoral administrations. This is an excellent way to communicate.

Cult leaders tell you to believe them over what you can see with your own eyes, their followers don’t even want you to look

Ward 7 residents. Time to scream at your new council representative

elizabeth shaffer called for “restraint and professionalism” from federal agents in her email today… but this is not their MO and this is not what they are here to do. they are here to terrorize us, and she saw it first hand in loring park the other day too. every video coming out shows that
