Today marks an escalation in the Minneapolis government structure wars we've been fighting since 2021. Mayor Frey has decided MPD and other departments don't have to show up to answer questions from the city council, so he's directing them not to. They can do it via memo.

One race people often sleep on is State Auditor. But it is vitally important that we elect @zackformn.bsky.social - the only accountant in the race. So I hope you'll join me for a fundraiser for Zack on Oct. 2nd at Arbeiter Brewing. (Or just donate.) secure.actblue.com/donate/zackf...

the prospect north loop data center in the old star tribune building is dead. legacy has terminated its purchase agreement for the site there’s been a lot of organizing by north loop residents against this, hope many take this as their entry to being civically active

thank you jamal osman, aurin chowdhury, jason chavez and robin wonsley for "workers drive minneapolis"! waymo is a labor issue, and we cannot allow for gains won by east african drivers who organized with MULDA to be erased. we must protect our workers and stand up against big tech taking their jobs

taylr@taylordahlin.com · 10mo ago

we should reject waymo on the basis of supporting labor in minnesota, where uber and lyft drivers fought to score a statewide minimum wage! and don't forget that lyft contributed $10,000 to all of mpls this year to reelect mayor frey and get a city council allied with him. they are making moves

Labor Day Pop quiz!📝 Why does my opponent have 0 Labor union endorsements? A) Because he is a partner at the country’s most notorious union-busting law firm. B) Because he worked for Trump. C) Because he has spent a majority of his career defending corporations and getting rich.

prioritizing transit and bikes over cars is a massive public health win

Make your voice heard this month! We have limited space for new apartments, let’s not let Data Centers compete for that land.

Robin for Ward 2@robin4mpls.bsky.social · 2w ago

Data centers do not belong anywhere in Minneapolis, but it is particularly appalling to see a proposal to allow data centers in our cultural corridors, green zones, and some of our most vibrant neighborhoods.

Neighbors, now is the time to organize and make your voices heard! A 60-Day Comment Period on Data Center Regulations is now open. We need to hear from you!

I would much rather have Mary Moriarty or Cedrick Frazier make this charging decision than Anders Folk.

the minneapolis police department spent $30 million on overtime in 2025 alone, but the behavioral crisis unit spending $25 million in FIVE YEARS warrants a story about its costs and oversight concerns? copaganda from the star tribune ahead of budget season www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

Meanwhile, the US was the only country in the world to oppose a recent UN declaration about the need to reduce crash deaths. The vote was 162 to 1.

Look Both Ways with David & Wes@lookbothwayspod.bsky.social · 4w ago

In the new episode, @davidzipper.bsky.social noted that the US is so uniquely bad at road safety that the OECD now calculates global crash trends without including US data. That prevents America's struggles from overshadowing other countries' progress.

Two of Minnesota's DNC representatives voted against this, despite it being adopted into our platform in Minnesota. One of those was Latonya Reeves, who ran against an endorsed incumbent (Ilhan Omar!) and is facing removal from this particular role for doing so.

Minneapolis is planning a Neighborhood Greenway along 34th St. in 2029! www.minneapolismn.gov/government/p... We have a chance to set a national example for on-street Greenways ... but public input is crucial. I'm co-leading bike audits on the corridor this fall, DM me if interested.

Does Angie Craig have policy priorities besides "fight Donald Trump" which she's had ample opportunity to do & has failed spectacularly at? Peggy Flanagan has been campaigning on Medicare for All, childcare affordability, no more money for endless wars, etc. What's Craig's plans?

You can’t fake a coalition. I’m proud to be the only candidate for Hennepin County Attorney endorsed by the DFL and the only candidate endorsed by a labor organization.

e line is now being detoured every friday & saturday from 9:45pm until 4am until further notice with no explanation. e line just opened last winter and uptown transit stop here is a crucial one, and they just close it all weekend nights? transit isn't bringing crime @metrotransitmn.bsky.social

@metrotransitmn.bsky.social what is the reason for the e line detour?

🚨🚨🚨EHB talks MPD 🚨🚨🚨 I am extremely concerned about the impact that MPD spending will have on our property taxes and budget priorities this year. Now is the time to speak up to stop MPD cost growth from consuming the investments we need in our communities.

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

Craig is arguably the biggest Democratic champion of the most widespread fraud of the century, and perhaps in modern history: cryptocurrency.

The crypto industry spent over $1M getting Craig reelected. In turn, she has become its best friend in Congress.

This doesn’t just affect cars. B and E Lines are detoured Fri/Sat starting at 9:45 pm until EOS @metrotransitmn.bsky.social This is a detriment to the area’s residents trying to get home after nights out. Wouldn’t this be exactly when you’d hope people would be taking transit instead of driving?

Cars should be parked, you see

A Virginia developer wants to redevelop the old Star Tribune printing plan into a data center in North Loop. This is on a 13-acre site by the river. This is exactly why CM @aurinmpls.bsky.social & I authored a data center moratorium & we were told to not worry. 1/ www.startribune.com/data-center-...

My objection was not only about words. The Notice of Funding Opportunity for this program explicitly states the program’s statutory purpose and program goals in terms of investigating crimes committed by “illegal aliens” … 1/ www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

Minneapolis council approves gun-crime grant despite some concerns over ‘illegal aliens’ language

Council Member Jason Chavez spoke passionately against applying for the $300,000 federal grant because of references to “criminal illegal aliens” in the government’s notice about the funding.

startribune.com

Here’s what the DOJ says the purpose of this funding is. The City of Minneapolis partnering with the federal government on a grant when this is their stated purpose of funding is a non-starter for me. Read the whole document here: lims.minneapolismn.gov/Download/RCA...

red lake tribal council member thomas barrett on angie craig's visit to red lake to meet with the council as she runs for minnesota's open US senate seat he told her "i do not welcome you to the red lake nation" because of her vote in favor of sending money to israel to commit genocide in palestine

more text messages have been shared between angie craig and john hoffman via dogdaysofminnesota on threads the hoffmans were hurt that craig followed up every check in about how they were doing after the attempted assassination with an ask for his endorsement for her senate run

yvette hoffman on strib reporting that david wellstone was mutual friend who visited her husband john in the ICU after he was shot by vance boelter to ask for angie craig's endorsement (yvette was also shot) "We have certainly learned who true friends are and who are liars."

taylr@taylordahlin.com · 2mo ago

it was confirmed via a leak to the star tribune that david wellstone was the mutual friend sent to visit john hoffman on angie craig's behalf to ask for his endorsement, which feels like it was done by her campaign just so wellstone could deny the story

If you were wondering if the story about Angie Craig asking Senator Hoffman for his endorsement while he was in the ICU is true, @erinmayequade.bsky.social has video.

Minnesota has begun to recognize a new season: smoke season. Highway removal is a solution that matches the scale of the problem.
