Differences in housing policy post-Surge couldn't be more stark. Both councils passed a temporary 60-day notice requirement for nonpayment evictions. Minneapolis: the mayor vetoed and council centrists refused to override. On pace for record evictions. St. Paul passed it veto-proof. Down 15% YOY

September eviction numbers from @homelinemn.org: Minneapolis remains on pace for its highest number of evictions in decades, tracking 4.8% ahead of 2025 which was already a high-water mark. St. Paul is on pace for a 15% *reduction* in eviction filings year-over-year homelinemn.org/12175/evicti...

I live in Minnesota. I love my Somali neighbors. To get to them you gotta come through me.

I wonder how nice Lisa Demuth & Michele Tafoya feel about the president inciting a pogrom on my neighbors. Will the Strib political desk look up from its civility politics and push them, noting Demuth effectively invited ICE here before or will they just accept an email from Tafoya’s human shields?

this is like trying to incite a christchurch massacre in minneapolis

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

this is honestly one of the worst and most irresponsible things he has ever posted, and that's really saying something

“Did Lisa Demuth sign a letter in support of Kristi Noem and ICE during Operation Metro Surge? Yes.” — @minnpost.com

Did Lisa Demuth sign a letter in support of Kristi Noem and ICE during Operation Metro Surge?

Noem led the Department of Homeland Security during last winter's surge but was later fired by President Trump.

This is an absolute travesty. The leadership of Minneapolis and Saint Paul and the Met Council should be SCREAMING! Services like Hourcar and Evie are ESSENTIAL to their vision for our region.

MaryMM@marymm.bsky.social · 11h ago

All of this car sharing success being shut down because the Twin Cities can't come up with an operating subsidy? This was once my life's work, and it was the most successful operation in the country. What are we doing? Where is the vision? Who is the hero?

Well geeze that's pocket change for both cities, let alone Met Council or the State. There's no legitimate reason this infrastructure should go offline for that paltry sum. What a shame.

Hourcar service has been around for 21 years, but the nonprofit said it could not close a $625,000 funding gap.

Thanks for clearing that up, Keith

Two-thirds of Americans support Medicare for All. Americans are done with a healthcare system that puts profits before people. Medicare for All can save 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year—turns out, progressive policies can be good politics AND good policy.

The angle framing is all wrong. Kim Wilson is MAGA and a GOP insider who is AFRAID to run as a Republican. She's trying to con Woodbury voters. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

In more than a dozen Minnesota House races, no GOP candidate is running

In 17 Minnesota House races, the Minnesota GOP does not have a candidate on the ballot. That absence is a surprise to some, but it also shows a strategy of shifting resources to more winnable district...
