El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.

What looks like St. Paul fire fighters pushing their way through without saying why they’re here. There’s been at least one fire fighter in here the whole time that everyone seems cool with because he’s talking to people. The aggressive ones left pretty quickly.
Some of the signs posted around the camp. “Evict deez nutz” is my favorite.
This is one of the tables set up here that’s giving out water, food, bags and other items to camp residents. I’ve volunteered at one of the donation tables here a few times. Hit me up if you want to be connected to someone that can get you plugged into helping out at these encampments.
I’m here at the Fish Hatchery encampment in St. Paul as the city prepares to sweep the camp. St. Paul cops are stopping cars coming in but there are dozens of people that have gathered here in anticipation of the sweep in order to help camp residents and document what the city does here today.
I encourage all of us to have the grace and focus shown in this going up within minutes of the race being called.

Guess I’ll be part of the Kaohly Her whisper campaign but a St. Paul knower confides maybe the police aren’t making shit up, they’re just the only department with the political cover to go public. Ask your St. Paul government friends if Her’s treatment of colleagues and underlings goes beyond SPPD.
Yes, the one who couldn't win a primary in her own party despite a $55 MILLION dollar advantage—much of it from a PAC that would prefer to see the Republican win anyway—is the more "electable" one, the one who can really reach voters. That is a thing people believe.
No no no, unity is when leftists join with ME or it's their fault when Republicans win. Me having to join with leftists doesn't feel like unity, and if Republicans win it's their fault for asking me.
Over $60 million in superpac spending couldn’t buy the election for Haley Stevens. Unlimited spending can’t cover up the liability of being against abolishing ICE and voting to thank them. Next Tuesday Minnesota can send the same message by voting against Laken Riley Act supporter Angie Craig.
The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

Based on the overwhelming consensus that I’ve heard in both public feedback and private conversations from government officials, service providers, encampment residents, and public health experts, I do not believe we are prepared to responsibly close the encampments beginning tomorrow.

Hey Minneapolis. Can someone explain it to me like I’m an idiot: why is MPD allowed to just spend money they don’t have and then say “we’re over budget.” And there’s never any questions that the city has to pay?
'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

Now, as ever: fuck ICE, and while you're at it, fuck CoreCivic, and fuck the entire prison industrial system.
MinnPost@minnpost.bsky.social · yesterdayPrison 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.
Think about what that means. Now recognize how many prisons already "generate revenue." Didn't we just read that Taylor Farms uses AZ prison labor? Abolish them all.
ms. maas@msmaas.bsky.social · yesterday“Once the facility is up and running, CoreCivic says it expects to generate $75 million in annual revenue.”
Would be really cool if our likely-to-be-governor would come out saying something against this. But alas.
