Are we still looking for waste, fraud, and abuse? I think I found some.
MPD's "duty to intervene" is meaningless when his police force worked through the last few months without a single intervention. He should just acknowledge there was no amount of lawlessness federal agents could've done that would have triggered an intervention.
The elected officials who rep a majority of the city have to beg Jacob Frey to not veto an extension in eviction notices. @Jacob_Frey who rode the wave of our collective suffering on his national PR tour, the most vulnerable in our city have to beg Jacob Frey to not impede help.
Cosmically, there is something very darkly funny about spending an entire decade of American politics obsessed with repudiating the mistakes of the Iraq War, and then immediately doing it again at the first opportunity, but with even less justification, planning, strategy, or foresight.

The affordable housing trust fund is one of those things that sounds great but is actually just a slush fund for developers.
Why is the Minneapolis Affordable Housing Trust fund, that all residents pay for, only available to developers and not to residents especially in emergency? Also think about who would crash out if we even suggested we all had access to a fund we pay for.
SCOOP: Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data that the FBI then used to determine who was allegedly behind an anonymous account affiliated with the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
Probably worth calling my Senators about this even though Amy K is almost certainly one of the 20
Friends from outside Minnesota have asked me if there are celebrations in the street over Noem being fired. To anyone not in MN: no. people are still buying neighbors groceries and collecting for their rent and patrolling. If ice is abolished or trump dies, then mpls will celebrate
A good day to remember that multiple local law enforcement chiefs and Our Mayor have made public statements this year trying to normalize and defend pre-surge DHS/ICE. They hunger to return to the old arrangement, not to dismantle the post-19/11, anti-immigrant machinery that made this possible
Yall this gotdamn country has spent $5.4 billion on this attack on Iran in less than 6 days!
Now you are just being an asshole. You don’t get to be the arbiter of who is an expert or knowledgeable in the complexities of housing. - If you and the experts were so all-knowing, why are we continually in the same housing crisis? where is the result of your superior knowledge?
If this isn’t about what you or the industry you work for wants and is truly about the people, are you willing to listen to renters facing eviction and ask them if they want the extra 30 days? It is a very straightforward question and doesn’t require 4 to 5 tweets to answer
Minneapolis Council Member Aisha Chughtai to Chief Brian O'Hara: “You show up to the scene and you see federal agents pointing their weapons at people, and you don’t feel a duty to protect the residents of this community and instead choose to leave the scene?” (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
I was proud to author an ordinance in 2023 moving mandating a 30-day rental pre-eviction notice in Minneapolis.
Sadly, we’re barely going to pass the temporary 60-day notice tomorrow and then face the threat of a veto.
Thank you Saint Paul for being pro-human.
I tell you, 16 years of living in North Minneapolis you just learned to accept that MPD will not do anything to keep you safe.
You seem to want to narrow this conversation down to the only consequence of an eviction notice is access to funding when we know that is not the only consequence of an eviction notice
Wouldn’t they just access the funding 30 days later? And, the 30 days additional buys them a small breather to tap into other resources. There is wrangling at the state level for emergency rental assistance..
So why wasn’t a smaller more community centered non profit like Housing in Action there lobbying for a Frey veto? You speak as if there is unanimity amongst housing non profits. And this is a temporary extension, to portray this as putting their operations in jeopardy is hyperbole.
just thinking about how USAID was dismantled under the rationale of cost savings but there's an unlimited budget for war
Español: Gracias a todos los residentes que asistieron a la audiencia de hoy sobre la "Pausar Desalojos, Salvar Vidas". Esta ordenanza extendería temporalmente el plazo de notificación de desalojo de 30 a 60 días en respuesta a la Operación Metro Surge. Esto daría a nuestros vecinos más tiempo para solicitar asistencia para el alquiler y ayudaría a prevenir más desplazamientos en nuestra comunidad. Esta medida se aprobó con una recomendación en comite con 7 votos a favor, 5 en contra y 1 abstención. La votación final tendrá lugar en la reunión plenaria del consejo el jueves. Si su concejal no votó a favor de la ordenanza, aún puede hacerlo este jueves en la votación final. He escuchado muy claro de ustedes sobre el miedo a ser desalojados de sus hogares. Esta medida ayudará a que las personas permanezcan en sus hogares por más tiempo. Jason Chavez

If your council member did not vote for the ordinance, they can still do so this Thursday on the final vote.
I’ve heard loud and clear from you about the fear of being evicted from your home. This measure will help keep people in their homes longer.

Northside had 2 council members vote against this and then had a housing forum where they turned off emogi reactions during the zoom call.
Liberals need to understand something, no matter how much you try to means test and rank someone else’s destitution for “fairness” sake - Right wingers and conservatives do not need a great legitimizer to enact any evil power grab they have imagined.
“We need to evict people to help them!”
What would you say you do around here?
My non profit low income housing provider sued the state to make evictions easier :)
