1/ Someone nicked a load of MTG cards out of my car recently, and the most annoying thing is having to go through the process of filing a police report that they're not going to investigate just so I can show my insurance I'm taking the steps. Meanwhile I'm doing all the legwork of calling

My state fair hot take is possibly one of the best new foods I had was either the jerk chicken fries from Irie or peri peri bowl from Afro Deli and if you factor in the negative aspects of the absurd lines for things like the lumpia and UHK corndog, they were definitely my favorite.

I had Chipotle for the first time today in probably a couple years and was immediately reminded why I hadn't eaten it in several years. Horrendous burritos, no idea why my entire generation was so obsessed with them for so long.

I'm sorry, but Strib trying to pretend this won't be another Klobbering for Metro Surge lady is pretty funny. Sure, Amy isn't particularly interesting. Or inspiring. Her politics are usually pretty disappointing. But I seriously doubt MN is looking to hand someone as dangerous as Demuth the keys.

After years of landslide victories, Klobuchar faces a tougher political fight against Demuth

The governor’s race will be Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s toughest test in a statewide election, following a series of easy reelections to the U.S. Senate. Republicans see Lisa Demuth as their best shot at cap...

I'm the wrong kind of terminally online to understand this new "woke 1" thing. I'm just going to assume we're building a second Death Star and move on with my life.

Republican Gubernatorial nominee Lisa Demuth is the person who brought Metro Surge down on us. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Demuth: GOP caucus directed YouTuber to Minnesota. A professor explains why it went viral

University of Minnesota media law professor Jane Kirtley says the new viral video is flashy but absent of facts to back up its claims.

Lisa Demuth invites Nick Shirley to Minnesota and there's a direct line there to multiple people being killed by ICE. I hope MN remembers that come November.

Wow turns out voting to fund the shit out of ICE is a fucking bad idea waow

LETS GET PEGGED FUCK YEAH

Latonya Reeves 5.2% lollollolololol Don't disregard trans folks you fuckhead

Originally drinking because I was pessimistic about Peggy's chances. Now drinking because Peggy is winning places like Anoka. Drinking will continue regardless.

Polls have closed, I'll admit it now. I protest-voted against the Klob.

"Another turtle has made it to the water!" I exclaim in my head as another scowling septuagenarian shambles through the doors of the Guthrie to receive their I Voted sticker.

Sure, once I was young and impulsive I wore every conceivable pin Even went to socialist meetings Learned all the old union hymns Ah, but I've grown older and wiser And that's why I'm turning you in

Moderate Democrats Prepare for ‘War’ Against an Ascendant Left

One moderate group says the progressive wins are “deeply troubling” and is planning a $15 million effort against democratic socialism.

We are really about to find out if the "blue no matter who" shrieking applies universally.

Platner was a terrible candidate from the jump, but the centrist Dems should be paying more attention to why their shit candidates lost to Nazi tattoo guy instead of acting like this is a win against the evil DSA. People aren't suddenly clamoring for milquetoast goobers because of one bad actor.

Waow. I am so totally shocked. This is a complete surprise. Who could have guessed that such an upstanding institution would do something like this?

The Minneapolis Police Department misused police coaching. 70% of Internal Affairs and 38% of Office of Police Conduct Review coaching cases in the historical backlog shouldn’t have been coaching at all. 1/ www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

In case you are curious, the r/Minnesota subreddit is losing their mind and straight up blaming the genocide of the Dakota people on the Dakota people in response to... *Checks notes* Them having to take their dogs to one of 7 other off leash dog parks in Minneapolis.

Man, if Mpls dog owners wanted some sympathy for their stupid crusade, maybe acting like freaks, bringing signs actively mocking minority rights and going on the Minneapolis subreddit to claim that the burial grounds are a big conspiracy wasn't the way to get that?

.....YOU'RE USING A LUTHERAN PASTOR WHO RESISTED THE NAZIS AS THE EXAMPLE OF THE BAD GUY?!?!?!

Rep. Brandon Gill: "We particularly need the left to tone down the rhetoric ... somebody is gonna listen and believe they are the next Dietrich Bonhoeffer and act on that and that's what we're seeing here."

Even as someone well outside the legal space, these charges seem absolutely bunk. My guess is the same as everyone else. Chilling effect prior to ramping up again. Probably realized that sending a bunch of Cletuses in from Kentucky in -40 was a bad idea, Minneapolis probably easier in the summer.

Here's an OCR-ed version. I'm probably part of the conspiracy now. You're welcome! www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

Oh we are already off to a ripping start with the new guy. Not like the fact that these suburbanites coming here to police our communities was ever something we pointed out as a problem before.

Interim police chief says he moved his family out of Minneapolis after 25 years to get his children into the Wayzata school district. I hope the replies to this post can combine our love for ugly police politics with our love for ugly school politics.

Republicans create massive inflation, decimate the economy, make it impossible to raise a family. But it must be those ding dang queeroseximals destroying the birth rate.

Minnesota bakery announces ‘Nuclear Family’ promotion during Pride month

"shut up you ugly fuck" is exactly the correct energy the Dems need to be bringing against the Republican party at this point which is why I'm sure in less than 13 hours they'll have fired the staffer that tweeted it.

An unsurprising but deeply unpleasant decision. The number of necessary-to-reform-but-functionally-impossible-to-pass-as-legislature court decisions may be insurmountable for America as a whole at this point. Citizens United. Dobbs. Callais. About a dozen others.

Steve Vladeck@stevevladeck.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Second (and last) #SCOTUS ruling is the big one, Louisiana v. Callais. For a 6-3 majority (Rs v. Ds), Justice Alito purports to narrow the ability of states to draw majority-minority districts as a remedy for race-based vote dilution, but, per Kagan's dissent, comes pretty close to gutting the VRA:

Who told Jake to wear his goofy office outfit while running? "Make a whole show of putting on running shoes in the ad about running around Minneapolis, but don't put on any workout gear. You might look like one of the commoners." Awkward video, very apropos of Jake's entire term as mayor.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey@mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Minneapolis residents have shown the world who we are — resilient, welcoming, and proud of this city. Now it’s time to come see it for yourself. Grab a meal by the lake, spend a day in our parks, explore our neighborhoods — and experience the spirit that makes Minneapolis special.

At the very top of the list of unnecessary spending: My taxes should not go to a daycare for an entire force of people that vocally complained when the people of Mpls asked them to stop being brutal dickheads, pepper sprayed protestors, and then openly gave up on their job like petulant children.

Robin for Ward 2@robin4mpls.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Mayor Frey is once again attempting to push through $38 million for an MPD “cop city” training center–on top of the nearly $100 million Minneapolis is already spending on building renovations for MPD. This money should instead be put into supporting our communities reeling from ICE's occupation.

I hate Trump, don't get me wrong. What I don't hate is his ability to have the funniest timing, every time.

NOEM TAKING QUESTIONS - DOES NOT APPEAR TO KNOW SHE WAS FIRED

Markwayne is a dumb thug, so it's not really a step up. But the Trump Administration just proves to once again be a giant Politician Crushing Machine that takes potential future Republican nominees and turns them into grist for the mill; the more we can push into the machine, the better.
