Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

remember how DFL uses influencers? they already had to drop one, off jawaggon, due to sexual assault. influencers are now taking money to attack kat abughazaleh

if you're in politics working with them, you're playing with fire. their allegiance is to their money only

Six years ago today, Louisville police murdered Breonna Taylor while serving a no-knock warrant based on false information.

They shot her six times while she slept in her home. Breonna was only 26. She was an EMT, an aspiring nurse, and beloved by all who knew her.

So basically they built an entire empire around extracting resources and labor from the global south to supply the citizenry of the imperial core with bread and circuses that are just barely cheap enough to keep them from guillotining the billionaires who own and run everything.

Mayor Frey can thank Minneapolis Public Housing Authority & affiliated nonprofit Community Housing Resources for 43 filings yesterday.
Significant bump in Mpls filings the past few days.

Approximate* Minneapolis eviction filings 3/1 thru 3/11:
2025: ~54
2026: ~237
A 339% increase compared to 2025.

If Americans truly prefer a car-dependent lifestyle then why are per square foot housing prices in dense walkable neighborhoods so much higher than in auto-oriented suburbs and exurbs?

@rileybruce.bsky.social do you take requests?

My favorite spot of lake of the isles is the west side that has 3 willow trees close together. Do you happen to have any photos of them? I’d love to buy a larger piece that has this tree.

It’s been a wild morning outside of City Hall – we had two HSI vehicles illegally parked on Minneapolis police parking right next to City Hall. The tow was called and had started being put on the car when the HSI agents arrived in shame, and were booed out by the several people, staff, & CMs.

The *apists were caught on camera and defended their actions. The Israeli public filled the streets to defend their right to *ape. This is Israel. This is Zionism. And it is irredeemable.

If mayor Frey could come down from his ivory tower and join us on the ground for 5 minutes maybe the vetoes of policies that would help our residents recover from this ICE invasion would not be vetoed. 2/

Like most peoples, Americans are largely treated as separate from our government. I don't know how much longer we'll get to enjoy that distinction. We are not an actual dictatorship no matter what Blue MAGA says. Like the Israelis, we freely elect our government.

$11.3 billion could cover any of the following for a full year:
-1.4 million people on Medicaid
-19 million kids getting free school lunches
-1.4 million people getting affordable housing
-1.1 million hungry seniors fed
-0.8 million children given free child care

So it's been amazing to see all the rent relief fundraising. Absolutely incredible. But it gets to me that the end result of all this is the money goes to line landlord pockets. And yes families stay housed. That's vital. But it's all of us every day regular degular citizens sacrificing for it.

"There is no data showing this is true" is just... false? We did a study less than two years ago showing a pre-eviction notice CAN help! If you want to say you disagree with the study that's one thing, but it's another to deny that any data exists.

It is a weakness of our system that the murder of 160 schoolchildren does not result in an immediate dissolution of the government.

Well folks, Mayor Jacob Frey continues to be a giant cock, so it's up to us to keep our neighbors housed

Frey’s reasoning here is absurd. Why not do both? Extend the eviction timeline, *and* make sure we provide assistance. That addresses the “debt” concerns and ensures people remain housed while waiting on help.

Dear Council President Payne, Council Vice President Osman and Council Members:
This letter is to inform you that I have vetoed Ordinance No. 2026-002 to extend the pre-eviction notice for
renters to 60 days. I understand the authors’ intent, but the experience from COVID-19 and guidance from
shelter and affordable housing providers shows that this strategy has not worked. We have heard over and over
again from shelter and affordable housing providers that longer timelines produce worse outcomes for
residents. In their words, when rental assistance isn’t available, time is a debt trap that becomes a barrier to
securing future housing.
I heard a call for more financial assistance, and I believe that is the best path forward. Rental assistance is
working and getting to renters quickly – rent collections are better in 2026 than 2025. That’s why I’m proposing
to spend $1 million from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund for emergency rental assistance administered
through Hennepin County.
While a 60-day pre-eviction notice period sounds good, there is no data to show that it does good. Pandemic
era eviction moratorium allowed many renters to accumulate huge amounts of debt that they are still paying off
today. When property owners carry the losses, the housing system experiences upward pressure on rents to
replenish reserves, catch up on missed mortgage, insurance, utility, payroll, and property tax payments, and
cover increased costs associated with deferred maintenance.
I believe most landlords are working with tenants to develop payment plans and access rental assistance. But for
bad actors, I worry that the proposal gives them reasons to report tenants to ICE or use minor lease violationswhich don’t require as much notice and are harder to expunge – to evict tenants.
We will continue to monitor the data. If something substantially changes, I am committed to working with the
City…
