Like most human viewpoints, I think a lot of people’s place on this chart comes down to “my mode of transportation should be able to do what we please. Everyone else is a danger or an impediment!”

i don't believe the negative ads angie craig/her north star dawn PAC are drowning minnesotans in will be able to overcome righteous anger at ICE. that is what is motivating people to vote, along with affordability. like how high caucus turnout was also good for peggy flanagan & got her DFL endorsed
In Minnesota, organized people can beat organized money, and we are organized. 💪
Even if JK Rowling wasn't a monster, being in your 40s and referring to your Harry Potter house on a dating app in 2026 in crazy work. This sentence is not coming out of nowhere. I see things. Hell is real, I live there.
Every time you engage with Harry Potter by buying her merch, promoting the IP, or going to the theme parks, you are making life harder for trans people.

Look who made the paper! We had such a great time talking to Briana Bierschbach at the Minnesota Star Tribune. Operation Metro Surge showed us the Power of the People can be a light in the greatest darkness. You all inspired me to throw myself into this race! tinyurl.com/BeccaInThePa...
Volunteer network born during immigration crackdown becomes Democratic organizing force
Minnesotans who organized bus stop escorts and grocery deliveries during the immigration crackdown are now becoming party delegates, campaign volunteers and even candidates for office.

it's funny how americans don't like subsidized groceries like this because that is big scary socialism, but turn around and clamor for businesses to provide them free parking... when the cost of that parking is being subsidized by everyone, including non drivers, as they'll just rise prices

anders folk is using footage from lake & bloomington raid in his ads featuring people who actually showed up to the scene to defend their neighbors who do NOT support his campaign folk obvs has no footage of himself there and his campaign shouldn’t be bolstered by these brave minneapolis residents
Kai Shelley@transthem.bsky.social · last wk.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!
It's funny how far we've come from 2025 when the Frey faction of the Minneapolis DFL was scolding anyone irresponsible enough to make a big deal out of the Lake and Bloomington raid.

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

Today we observe Porajmos (Roma Holocaust) Remembrance Day. on the night of 2–3 August 1944, 2,897 Roma were murdered at the Zigeunerfamilienlager at Auschwitz-Birkenau. We remember them and the half a million Sinti and Roma murdered by Nazi Germany and fascist collaborators. Na Bistaren.
This is the exact problem, right here: people would rather make up a social justice warrior to get mad at than take a hard, honest look at the problem.
West Coast cities are caught in a doom loop where the problem keeps growing but political elites refuse to admit that solving it requires more funding. Every few years someone comes along promising to "finally" crack down, gets elected and fails to deliver. That would have been worth writing about.
He ends by implying that this is an easy problem to solve if we could just drop our left-wing ideology long enough to finally impose consequences on homeless people and addicts. Not only is this unconstitutional, it's also incredibly expensive! Either way we're providing housing and services.
Powell interviews a local anti-homeless ghoul who notes that encampment sweeps don't result in meaningful change because homeless people just return a few days later. Yes, Michael. What is the solution to this? We should just incarcerate them forever for being homeless?
"Hey, have you thought about arresting drug users?" isn't a bold new idea, it is what we did for decades — and are still doing. Powell even admits this: The new mayor is doing encampment sweeps... Just like the last mayor. And the one before that.
The core argument is that cities like Seattle are so addled by left-wing ideology that they have fallen into dystopia. In reality, the city has never adequately funded harm reduction programs and continues to rely on incarceration to address homelessness. What Powell wants is what we're doing.
It was inevitable that reactionary centrists would turn against harm reduction and call for a return to mass incarceration
The Cities That Said Yes to Drugs
Policies that gave addicts clean needles and places to use drugs were intended to reduce harm. They created a “zombie apocalypse.”
