@BokononsProphet Fucking legends.

Holy shit. 300 mg edibles?

@peoplepowerpod1 They were getting paid to watch the community suffer as their union cheered on ICE. This cannot be reformed.

some minneapolis cops made $20K in a month in OT for being on standby during Operation Metro Surge; 20K for sitting at home waiting to be called to work #abolish startribune.com/minneapolis-po…

@NortonMpls This area of Minneapolis is well known for its mass transit and bicycle infrastructure, Mike. My guess is the streets are empty because many people eschewed personal vehicles on this lovely spring evening. Hope this is helpful!

Lots of empty parking spots in Uptown, even though Mayor Frey made parking here free on Fridays. Maybe the people who say he has no vision for Minneapolis are right.

Maher's monologue is so full of illogic and factual inaccuracies it's hard to list them all. He conflates antisemitism with criticism of Israel and Zionism, even substituting the words for each other when allegedly quoting someone. He claims Randy Fine has never called for nuking or killing Palestinians, which is a blatant lie or at best very sloppy, since Fine has done precisely those things. And the claim it's antisemitic to focus on Israel is such a tired one. We don't fund and provide diplomatic cover for the atrocities of any other country the way that we do for Israel. We aren't violating the First Amendment for the Sudanese government, nor are we banning the Taiwanese from this country. North Korea isn't buying an election in Kentucky. Americans single out Israel for criticism because (1) its crimes are horrific and have been going on for 80 years; (2) as Americans, we can potentially influence our government's policy of supporting Israel; and (3) no other country exercises this kind of influence over our laws, policies, and politics. It's not that complicated.

@hello_uptown I heard that if you use the coupon code, Flower Bar employees won’t spray you with water on the sidewalk for opposing ICE.

That feeling when you score the perfect bouquet... SIU! ⚽️💐 Don’t pay full price! I used this deal from HelloUptownmn.com and got a 20% OFF coupon for my entire purchase at Flower Bar! 🎟️💸 #FlowerBar #UptownMinneapolis #FloralDesign #Siu #SpringBlooms #worldcup

@CheyCab @bloisolson @Ecolab @MN_Chamber That snark is unnecessary Blois. You didn’t fact check it, but you chose to spread misinformation. Your “journalism” expertise is what needs to be called into question.

@bloisolson @Ecolab @MN_Chamber Fair enough. I do feel like I’m in a weird spot right now with being aware of some things that I can’t speak on but want to. These rural hyper scaled data centers going in around the country? There’s much they don’t want folks to know(not talking smaller urban data centers).

“New data centers use less water than car washes” - Christophe Beck of CEO of @Ecolab at @MN_Chamber Economic Imperative event. But…

@bloisolson @Ecolab @MN_Chamber Please stop spreading misinformation. This is genuinely embarrassing. A medium-sized data center uses 30 times more water than a medium-sized car wash. eesi.org/articles/view/… epa.gov/system/files/d…

@Dreams44 Yes. And it deserves a review by the City Auditor.

It’s very clear the city of Minneapolis is illegally withholding information from data requests. Many residents have submitted requests to city contact with DHS and ICE only to come up empty handed.

Council President Payne amazed how officers rack up superhuman amounts of overtime. Deupty Chief Mark Klukow, being blunt: It's maximizing late-career pay to boost a pension. "You somehow buffalo that as much as you can... Most of our older folks are doing something similar"

@taylr I believe the details for any event in which the mayor and full council are attending have to be released to the public a week in advance. So it was probably on LIMS.

@Aaron_T_Rose i do not even remember where i found about it but it was public information lmaoooo

i went to see it last year, no luck this year. BUILD THE BALLROOM!

The amount of taxpayer dollars Frey has spent busting up encampments and throwing away people’s belongings would have very literally been enough to solve homelessness in Minneapolis. People need to understand it was an ideological choice, not a lack of resources

France made this wastefulness illegal cause it’s cruel and only causes more waste issues. Any food market or restaurant over 400 square meters has to donate all their good unsold food to charities and are fined if they do anything like this. That law should be applied everywhere

@BullyCreative You’d think if he was really concerned about the well-being of renters, he’d use his carefully cultivated national-media presence to plug resources where people can donate to rent-relief efforts. Unfortunately, he probably just hates @SmittenKittenMN too much to give them a win.

I said this before, will say it again - you don't have to believe anything I say about Frey, just watch for yourself who he uses his power for and more importantly who it uses it against. His vetoes are always telling.

In the ruins of Minneapolis, they barter with UpDown tokens and cans of Hamms. They pull donkey carts across the rubble scavenging for Vikings and Twins memorabilia. The only thing they eat is New York Gyro. The smoke shops are still in business though, they're all just fine.

@taylr The “Reappointed” titles on YouTube make these videos feel too political to be created with public City resources. But that’s the strong mayor system for ya’!

whoever is making these videos needs to learn filmmaking 101 that jump cuts look really amateur when they’re used excessively like why, exactly, are we focusing on kristyn anderson’s lower legs and feet as she walks into a room? it’s so cheap looking for an official city video

Indignant Mayor Frey says today has nothing to do with Barnette's job performance. Which I interpret to mean massive budget overruns are not a thing you're allowed to hold against the city's highest paid employee.

@BullyCreative When you vote how the mayor wants every single time, you reap lots and lots of political capital.

what an absurd politician, from start to finish. It is amazing how far championing the status quo can get you in America. You dont have to be principled, or courageous or noble, just repeat the company line of the power and people with money.

@bundleofsticks7 @BenCaswellMN Tell me more about the post that was edited.

@BenCaswellMN Yes. Also, Peggy’s home district is SLP. Between this and the Renee Good post that had to be edited like 3 times, I’m thinking comms could use a little overhaul

If “by lots of support” you mean 8 delegates for Flanagan, 4 for Craig, and 3 uncommitted, I suppose you would be correct.
