Thinking about how when i couldn’t get the St. Paul police department to investigate a bomb threat to the city’s only gay bar, i reached out to the Mayor’s assistant for police & safety several times and never once got a reply. Apropos of nothing

Its how i find most of the ones i follow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don't sleep on participating in the various "QRP with your XYZ art" threads. I discover and follow so many artist from them every time.

MPD has defunded the city of Minneapolis.

Minnesota Star Tribune@startribune.com · yesterday

More than 100 city employees could be laid off in Minneapolis in the first major layoffs in 16 years as the city faces a $33 million budget gap.

Just reminder the democrat running for govenor in MN Thinks prisons are a good thing.

Amy Klobuchar@amyklobuchar.com · last yr.

NEWS: the Bureau of Prisons just decided to reverse course and keep their facility in Duluth open. I urged BOP leadership to take this step to protect these good paying jobs that are vital to the local economy.

It would be a shame if this couldn’t happen.

MinnPost@minnpost.bsky.social · yesterday

Prison industry giant CoreCivic announced Monday that it has finalized a five-year federal contract to reopen a long-shuttered prison in Appleton that will now hold immigrant detainees.

If we think about Nolan’s Batman—specifically the Dark Knight—dude is literally saying that a surveillance state is OK, as long as a “good guy” is doing it. Superhero movies really not beating the copaganda allegations.

How about this? TAX THE CHURCHES TAX THE RICH KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE!!!!! Agree? ✋

FOUND: President Reagan FACT checks Mitch McConnell on Social Security. SOMEWHERE Mitch McConnell still DREAMS of taking away your "entitlements".

Leadership stopped including me in meetings and now that i have stated religious use for not using AI they don’t know what to do 🤑

Over the last two weeks there have been continued power outages in Minneapolis. Our power grid isn't prepared for this kind of stress! It can barely handle the increase in residential AC use with the heat. What do you think they're going to do when they need more power than we have?

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-...

i absolutely hate "parents rights advocates" because the only right they're advocating for is the right to completely revoke their children's autonomy

I don’t like that I keep agreeing with the pope on things….

Pope Leo XIV says that the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexual ethics must be less prioritized over “greater, more important issues.” “We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. “There are much greater, more important issues.“

Should i buy some tickets for Sunday and wear a shirt that says “Fuck Sophie Cunningham”? 🤔

Pitch Mr. Perfect@michaelwaterloo.bsky.social · 6d ago

The Indiana Fever play tomorrow in Portland and Sunday in Minnesota. There are "Support Sophie Cunningham" transphobic rallies planned for both cities. Fuck all the way off. #WNBA

Let’s be clear here, when scientists say mistakes were made at the start of the pandemic, we DO NOT mean that we did too much. We mean not socially distancing quickly enough, not making tests widely available, and not acknowledging COVID is airborne and distributing N95 masks to everyone.

A Star Tribune spokesman on Wednesday confirmed the company reached a deal with Legacy Investing, the firm that transformed part of downtown’s Sleep Number Building into a data center for artificial intelligence and cloud computing:

The 13-acre property is one of downtown Minneapolis’ last large industrial sites.

Good for them honestly. Not to mention they no longer need to sell themselves to the grammy’s to get out of military enlistment since they completed their time. Hopefully no more whitewashed bullshit….but also stop stealing from black people.

Pop Base@popbase.tv · last wk.

BTS announces they will not submit their music for the 2027 GRAMMY awards, following the Recording Academy’s addition of an Asian-focused category: “I hope music itself can be heard and loved rather than being distinguished by region or language.”

For real i legit cringe any time i see someone wearing afflication still

Hate that I'm at the age where I understand everything my mom would say about regurgitated 70s and 80s fashion when I was a kid because of Gen Z. Like yeah I guess that was early 2000s but you're doing it wrong?! Why are you wearing Affliction?! That's for identifying date rapists!

A Very Bad Thing to Do….

Because they're traitors and should be treated as such.

Upwards of 200,00 people may have lost their jobs today; or will in the upcoming days. There is a palpable sense of fear among the Haitian community right now. They need your support.

Heba Gowayed هبة جويد@hebagowayed.bsky.social · last wk.

My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.

Today's daily reminder that the UAE is currently engaged in a genocide in Sudan using weapons they receive from the US and money they receive from our tourism dollars, and every celebrity who lives or vacations in Dubai or Abu Dhabi is knowingly funding it.

Seeing Good Charlotte/A7X at mistake lake amphitheater And damn it this venue has really good acoustics. Makes up for the disappointment that is ugh bank stadium.

really not impressive angie craig is spending her time opposing ICE now - that's called atonement for laken riley peggy flanagan points out craig stood by this vote for 14 months, through operation metro surge, renee good's murder and alex pretti's murder and STILL she did not say she regretted it

While we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.

Emma Thompson adapting feminist retelling of Iliad for big screen

The actress told the Hay Festival she is writing a film version of Pat Barker’s The Silence of the Girls to draw attention to sexual abuse in war zones

Any person i see wearing these is immediately an enemy and will be treated as such.

From yesterday and today: it certainly appears ICE in Chicago are wearing the Meta AI Ray-Ban glasses.

Friendly reminder that these things aren't impacted by closing the Strait of Hormuz so maybe, just maybe, we should implement them to avoid being impacted by future conflicts: -Solar panels -Wind turbines -Battery storage -Electric vehicles -Bicycles -Natural fertilizers -Electric heat pumps
