Would be super cool if someone in the UK would push Chris Brown off a cliff while he’s stuck in jail over there.

yeah man, please make my 85 year
old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

My local police department that spent years covering up the police chief accidentally backing her SUV into a woman and small child, injuring the woman, would really like us to help identify who keyed someone's Tesla.

As a Portlander with family living in your district: you do not need to make these types of rhetorical concessions before you make your point. We’re not in high school debate class.

And remember, UMN admin has said they will cooperate with ICE.

Cole is my hero everyday but especially since he’s been helping me get to and from the doctor, has been advocating for me every step of the way, and has been my cheerleader as I try to get laxatives to work tonight

Rumeysa Ozturk must not be deported. You can't kidnap someone off the street for their political views — this isn't Moscow.

She has every right to speak her mind. I've contacted the Administration. I want answers.

My heroes today are Dr. Keeley from HealthPartners urgent care for getting me in for a MRI & giving me effective pain meds & MRI tech Sarah for letting me listen to Bright Eyes while I panicked in a tube for over 20 minutes.

It was a pup cup morning for Millie today.

We’re all thinking it: this is the first time Justin Eichorn was *caught* attempting to solicit a minor

Fuck you.

I likely won’t be able to go out to view the lunar eclipse early early Friday morning — but here’s a photo from a previous lunar eclipse, from January 2019, seen above the First National Bank Building sign in downtown St. Paul

There's no better way to get around!

My favorite (only) brother is 21 today!

The ad for Newcastle Brown Ale can't be very old, but it looks like it's trying to self-destruct.

thanks to how february's last rent payment and march's first one were right next to each other, I'm broke at the very beginning of the month and need $100 to cover groceries and stuff over the next week. Help me out? venmo @ dexanderson venmo.com/u/Dexanderson

for those wondering why Mayor Frey got yelled at when he visited the 19?

This is why.

“Can you even imagine having both Amy Klobuchar AND Angie Craig as our two U.S. Senators?” said @jasonmcgrath.bsky.social, shuddering

i find this genuinely shocking. RIP. damn.

I am 100% a reason you should come to autotune karaoke at Mortimer’s on Monday nights at 9

Meatjacking is back!

This reminds me of "Alone in Berlin," one of the best fictional accounts of resistance to the Nazis. Highly recommended if you haven't read it yet.

As a 20-plus year resident of Minneapolis following the conversation around violence interrupters as part of the Neighborhood Safety Department, this recent article was very concern-ing. Under Mayor Jacob Frey, millions of dollars earmarked for these programs after George Floyd's murder were spent with no documentation of plans to reduce violence or results that demonstrate an effect on community violence. The article also failed to mention Mayor Frey's responsibility for the program and its massive budget. In 2021, the mayor lobbied for the strong mayor amendment that passed and gave him more authority than any other mayor in the city's history. He has sole authority over public safety in our city. This is ultimately his responsibility and he is using his staff as shields from accountability. Members of the City Council who have repeatedly asked for information were right in doing so. Their efforts were usually met with a "pass the buck" approach, giving council members no confidence that the city can deliver. That's why some members introduced getting assistance from Hennepin County, which has had success with youth violence interruption programs. Three things are clear to me: Minneapolis residents aren't getting the safety we deserve; the people charged with making us safe seem to want to operate in the dark with no transparency or accountability; it is ultimately the mayor's job to ensure the safety of its residents, but he has no vision and no plan. MEGHAN CASEY, Minneapolis

Keep this letter from @meghscase.bsky.social in your back pocket as the mayoral election gears start grinding: Mayor Jacob Frey is the one who bears responsibility for public safety in Minneapolis

A couple of people broke into unlocked cars and stole some things and now my building’s community director thinks that warrants a request for more police officers in the neighborhood as if Loring Park isn’t crawling with them.

i don't think reading this to yourself does justice to how bad it is. read it out loud. you'll immediately notice how stilted and uncomfortable the prose is, like someone struggling to articulate an actual thought

It is 3°F and the weather app says it feels like -11°F. Human beings should not be kicked out of their shelters in this. I would not kick a squirrel out of a roof-hole in this.
