If you support election finance reform, call your state reps! This bill passed the Senate elections committee on a 6-5 vote (all dems in favor, all repubs against) and now moves to the judiciary committee. I hear Rep. Greenman is carrying a similar bill in the house. Let’s help them get it done 💪
Many of us felt like special interests had more influence than we do as actual residents. This cannot continue and we need to take action to protect people power.
They spent over $140,000 on the ward 7 race alone. Working people can’t compete with that! They used nonstop ads and mailers to sow confusion and distrust, turning so many away from wanting to engage in electoral politics.
In the 2025 municipal mpls election, three corporate PACs funded by the chamber, downtown council, national retailers federation and the multifamily housing association spent more than $2,000,000 to buy influence at city hall.
We need to get big money out of politics. 💸 That’s why I proudly testified in support of Sen Boldon’s bill to limit corporate election spending. www.youtube.com/live/ZFbozwO...
Incredible testimony from @katiecashman.bsky.social in the Senate Elections committee today about corporate PACs influencing Minneapolis municipal elections.
I’m going to post the video. We are so lucky to have brave leaders in the legislature who are willing to tackle this issue. Let’s support them to get it done!
Put this in your article about uptown please and thanks
Thank you!
Thank you!
Good point! I’ll ask my neighbors if we can share their bin from time to time 😉
South Minneapolis people - do you know where a girl can go to recycle plastic bags?? I know the Wedge does but it’s so far from my new house ♻️🙏
Ask him if he believes housing is a human right. We are not asking for the sun and the moon. Just a lifeline to help folks get back on their feet.
Pretty wild to be watching the Minneapolis City Council meeting and see the officer who killed Amir Locke presenting about “officer wellness”. Truly no shame.

Hope they issue a ticket- private vehicles are not allowed to drive on Nicollet Mall.
A community member's father was recently taken into ICE custody and is now awaiting deportation. Daisy’s family is raising funds to help cover legal fees and asking community to share their story and support them during this difficult time. gofund.me/2167c987f
Join us at Minneapolis City Hall tomorrow at 9:30am to testify in support of a 60-day pause on evictions.
Families impacted by Operation Metro Surge and ongoing ICE presence need time to catch up on rent. Evictions don’t make us safer -housing stability does.
ICE is still tearing families apart.
My friend, Daisy, who I worked with at City Hall, and her siblings had their father taken from them last week.
They are all here in Saint Paul. He is in El Paso.
Please give if you can. She is the best.
Share widely.

I hope they discuss it in committee. Glad to see the cameras are producing some results 👍
Yes, I’m asking where the bill gets sent to for government owned and rental vehicles - do you know who gets the bill? many of us saw ice going at insane speeds around town, even at Chicago and Franklin where I believe there is a camera.
BBC's homepage is dystopian. War all over. Once again, narcissistic world leaders wreak havoc while we foot the bill-- with our health, our safety, our taxes, our energy bills.
There is no such thing as bombing for peace. Let's not allow their war propaganda machine to justify this horror.
Lots of very important boards have openings.

I would really like to know how they will issue tickets to all the ICE vehicles that ran red lights all over town these past few months. Most vehicles were rentals and/or government owned so who will get ticketed?
Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

BREAKING — 51 Iranian children are dead after a strike hits Minab girls elementary school in Iran.
The 2026 midterms have to be about impeachment. If you aren’t able to make case to the American people now, you aren’t going to suddenly find the willpower to do what is so obviously necessary after being elected. If we still have a Constitution—or laws at all—impeachment is necessary.
Someone was abducted in St Anthony this morning at 6 AM near 29th Ave & Silver Lake Road. And then at 8 AM we saw at least 5 agents out of their vehicles at 26th & Jackson near Walgreens before they dispersed into the neighborhood.
This isn’t over. We still need people keeping watch & staying safe.
