This is a powerful letter from Minneapolis Legislative Delegation asking Mayor Frey to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives.
16/17 state legislators who represent Minneapolis signed onto this letter. It’s time for Mayor Frey to sign this ordinance and support our immigrant neighbors.
On this day: March 10, 1998. The hit song “Closing Time” was released as the lead single from Semisonic’s album “Feeling Strangely Fine.” The album was recorded at the Seedy Underbelly studio at 11th & Washington Ave S. In Minneapolis.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
- President Dwight D. Eisenhower

Call again today!
If I can endure his gross voice on the outgoing message, you can too.
DO NOT VETO
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.
“you may hear that extending eviction notice to 60 days will make the city vulnerable to lawsuits. as someone who’s represented tenants, i can tell you landlords will sue over anything,” says suitor

Yep. Married women have always worked. Many had jobs outside the home, many more did piecemeal work at home to supplement the family income. There are dozens & dozens of books by historians about this. I know because one of my comps fields was History of the American Family & I had to read them all

This is so shitty and disrespectful. Marisa fought for MONTHS to get access to this information and NBC sliding in to try to scoop her is unprofessional and shameful. Seeing mainstream outlets consistently use her reporting, including her FOIA work, with no credit is galling.
![State Senator John Hoffman and Yvette Hoffman Endorse Peggy Flanagan for Senate
Longtime Advocates for Children, Families, and Disability Services Backs Flanagan’s People-Powered Campaign
ST. LOUIS PARK, MN [03/09/26] — Today, Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan’s campaign for U.S. Senate announced the endorsement of State Senator John Hoffman (34-DFL) and his wife, Yvette Hoffman. It is a powerful show of support from a respected leader who has spent his career advocating for children, families, and Minnesotans with disabilities.
Last year, Senator Hoffman and his wife Yvette survived a horrific assassination attempt in their home during a wave of politically motivated violence that also took the lives of House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their dog Gilbert. In the months since, the Hoffmans have continued to demonstrate resilience and commitment to public service in the face of unimaginable hardship.
“These are two leaders in Minnesota who truly embody what it means to be of community, in community, in how they show up and care for their neighbors,” said Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan. “Senator Hoffman and I have worked together for a long time on issues of early childhood and making sure that children and families have what they need to be successful. I’m going to take everything that I’ve learned from him and bring it to Washington, D.C., to make sure that children and families have opportunity and that those on the margins and the most vulnerable Minnesotans have a voice in Washington.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o6b6p7w54st6r7ze6nmjv4it/bafkreiddqinshhj3hinyejtbgssqfn436bykjvcrfyaiavzcbimswvz4wq)

Hoffman represents communities in Anoka and Hennepin Counties, including parts of Brooklyn Park, Champlin, Coon Rapids, Dayton, and Rogers. He has spent his career focused on issues related to disability services, education, and support for families. Before serving in the Minnesota Senate, Hoffman worked with children and families across public, private, and nonprofit sectors, including with the Iowa Department of Human Services and at PACER Center, one of the nation’s most respected Parent Training and Information Centers. Yvette has also dedicated her life to children and families, having spent her career working in elementary education. “I’ve spent my career focused on stabilizing children and families. That’s what matters to Minnesota. I know what real leadership looks like and Peggy Flanagan embodies that. She leads with integrity, compassion, and the desire to do what’s right. This is what we need in Minnesota. This is what we need in our nation,” said Senator John Hoffman. “In moments that test us, leadership matters. Peggy shows that. She listens, she shows up and she delivers. I’m proud to endorse Peggy Flanagan for U.S. Senate. Let’s move Minnesota forward, together.” “After everything our family went through last year, Peggy Flanagan showed us the kind of person and leader she truly is. She respected our family’s privacy and supported the space we needed to heal, and that meant the world to us,” said Yvette Hoffman. "Peggy served in the Minnesota House with my sister, Rep. Yvonne Selcer – so our family has known her character and leadership for a long time. She has always led with kindness, compassion, and a deep commitment to people who are too often overlooked. She will be a voice for those who don’t always have one in Washington. Our country needs that kind of leadership now more than ever. That's why I’m proud to support Peggy for the U.S. Senate.”

i actually think "books should be difficult and somewhat painful to read and you are Bettering Yourself through Struggle" is a worse attitude for mass literacy than "I have specific preferences and like reading a lot of fun stories" tbh
Curling incredibly rules.
I wish these big meme accounts would stop saying “IRAN IS A DISTRACTION FROM EPSTEIN” and would reframe it as “from child abuse accusations to the murder of 160 school kids, trump has shown he wants to hurt children.”
• Veterans who were discharged from the uniformed services due to sexual orientation or gender identity/expression. - They do not need to live in Washington. - They do not need to enter school within a certain amount of time after separating from the military. - They maintain resident student status as long as they stay continuously enrolled. - Does not apply to veterans who have a dishonorable discharge from the uniformed services.
TIL that military service members who were discharged for their sexual orientation or gender identity qualify for in-state tuition rates in Washington regardless of their residency!

I hate that entire groups are being prevented from existing in mainstream art because of roughly 200 shrill lunatics who can't be normal about anything.
There was a serious house fire earlier this week on Polk street. Not only is the family suffering from the damage to their house, but early in the morning after the fire their house robbed and belongings were stolen. Let’s help our neighbors in Waite Park recover.

I think if they don’t rig it up so that the loon statue across the intersection blows it up with an eye laser, that’s a real missed opportunity.

The constituency of Americans who see DEI as detrimental to the country is vanishingly small, the sort of constituency that can easily be ignored if politicians want to ignore it.
It's day 96 of the ICE occupation of MN.
Today brought revelations of more ICE lies - this time about the murder of Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas in March 2025.
ICE continues to lie about their operations, about how they do their work, and even when they murder our neighbors.
ABOLISH ICE
Anyway, please read my report—which is a culmination of nearly a year of work—and subscribe to The Handbasket:
To learn which questions are unanswerable, and not to answer them: this skill is most needful in times of stress and darkness.
Who do I talk to about getting "ICE-hating harpy" on a t-shirt?
