These are not serious people.

🧵 This week the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) Chief, Brian O’Hara, and Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty both presented to the City Council on their responses to Operation Metro Surge.

Please take the time to do this! The useless mayor must be reminded that people want him to do the right thing for once.

AWOOOOOO! (We’re back, Mpls!)

This woman should run for city council. She’s done more for Ward 13 in the last 3 months than Palmisano has. Ever.

😭

The next time I hear “downtown isn’t safe!” I’ll ask if they mean from trigger-happy bounty hunters, 🧊 at city hall, or the Hennepin County Sheriff.

No amount of regret can reunite families, save children from indefinite detention, or make our communities whole again.

That’s Elianna, and she’s either done each of those things herself or coordinated them for others. Such a big heart ♥️

There’s dozens of us.

Do you know about SWAEmpls.org?

Every bomb is a war crime.

I’m not from an immigrant family, but as an oldest daughter I hear this. I was very deliberate about having kids on my terms and timeline.

It’s so loud, measured at 38 decibels inside my bedroom. My husband’s loudest snore is 39 dB.

Cannot stress enough about how no one is getting paid for any of this, especially not targeted families trapped in their own home. The financial damage to the city should be part of the larger story, and will last long after out-of-state fundraising dries up.

I miss Mayor Carter.

It’s so great! Very affordable delivery and a la carte lets you pick exactly what you want and how much.

All the busses in downtown looked like this one.

I have an umbrella and I regret not wearing socks or boots.

I want THUNDER SNOW

Small request: could you thank a state legislator today? Their job got a lot scarier last June, and they’ve responded courageously.

Crying in the office today in solidarity with MN legislators, who are opening session without the leadership of Melissa Hortman.

What a devastating loss for our state.

Operation Metro Surge cost Minneapolis at least $203 million, city officials say Minneapolis officials have released an estimated tab on what Operation Metro Surge has cost city residents so far.

So far it looks like Trump, Noem, and operation metro surge drained Minneapolis alone—not yet counting St. Paul, Bloomington, etc.— $203 million. This was a MAGA Trump assault on an American blue city. Nothing more. Start seeing it.

there was once so few mass shootings that the murder of only six people gets to be known forever as the st valentine’s day massacre

I'm pretty proud of this poem I made out of the euphemisms that companies used to describe the ICE occupation in corporate communications. Also read the whole story: racketmn.com/corporate-co...

Ward 11 Update - Rental Assistance & Ongoing Response

Point taken, CM Palmisano is MIA and not returning my calls. But Jamison is taking action, including a Ward 11 rent fund.
