I heard not one peep on this today on @npr.org The video is terrifying. It’s already out there- be cautious and thoughtful if you do post it. I will not. Corey Ruiz should be here and truly 🖕🏻 the poIice who did this.
Sami Schalk@drsamischalk.bsky.social · 2w agoPolice murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

GrOtto@stone-grotto.bsky.social · 3w agoNo. I just cannot with this reasoning. “We’re not responsible for ensuring their are beds for everyone because there might be beds elsewhere in the state” @mayorher.bsky.social is a bad leader. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...
🚨 St. Paul is planning to clear three homeless encampments starting August 5th at Pig's Eye Park. An estimated 150 to 160 people will be displaced with no guarantee of shelter. Our unhoused neighbors need us to show up right now. www.instagram.com/rising.water...

Hey, Bluesky. Personal update and q: I’ve been struggling with being on / posting on social media for a while again, but otherwise my life is moving along as well as it can. I’m working on a few projects that will be exciting when I’m done, but I’m not quite ready to share about them yet. ➕

I can't think about wrongful convictions like this for too long before my blood pressure gets dangerous. Millions is a small price to pay for the damage we did to this man in the name of justice. This state took 20 years of his life from him. He was a teenager when he went in.

I am so tired of this shit. It's 2026. When exactly do our "leaders" plan to grow up? I hope it's while they are still in positions of authority and have the power to do something about the harm they've caused. If you can write an email, it helps. It doesn’t have to be as angry as mine.

On September 9, 2025, the Feminist DFL Caucus failed its own members by allowing trans women to be degendered and non-binary members to be repeatedly misgendered by caucus leadership when they asked only to be respected. 1/

amityf@amityf.bsky.social · 3mo agoHCMC _is_ a safety net hospital; which means it covers people who do not have insurance. One of the worst, most sickening things coming out of the funding issues for it is the reveal of people who just believe that folks should die if they can't pay. I already knew they believe that.
Ah. I was wondering how they were succeeding in only allowing us Klobuchar as an option for governor. I don't know the details of this situation, but I received their manipulative, victim-blaming letter after the Feminist Caucus debacle, so I know Carlbom is disgusting. The DFL needs an overhaul.
Just googled "Axe throwing near me" and 20+ places popped up. I am both delighted and overwhelmed. I was not expecting this many options. 3 of us would like try it for the first time this weekend. Any recs, Mpls/Stp pals? Who has the best space? Who offers the best deals? Where do you go? 🪓
“That was the fault line.” I’m sorry dude, but real leaders would then figure out how to mend that fault. They would figure out where they could work together, not continually drive a wedge into that fault
Wedge LIVE!™@wedge.live · 4mo agoMayor Frey continues to say there's no substantive reason for the city council to have rejected Todd Barnette. And that voting him down is on the level of the atmosphere created by George Floyd's murder. I need him to dial it down. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...
I watched this documentary a few weeks ago that goes into the history of racial covenants in property deeds in Mpls: www.tpt.org/minnesota-ex... It's interesting to see the how the history of the city's development relates to what Mpls looks like today. Thank you @davidbrauer.bsky.social!

I am proud to bring forward an extension of the 30 pre-eviction notice period to 45 days.
