“When I think about navigating the start of the year here, especially in our hometown in Minneapolis, the thing that we have kept front and center every single day is the safety of our team.” – Target CEO Michael Fiddelke

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Should be considered for Canton. 🙏to his family.

It seemed that way. Someone must have muttered under their breath too loudly.

That role was previously held by Diana Prince, am I right?

We can’t just feed people, they’re only going to get hungry again.

And today, CM Warren rebukes audience members for poor decorum....

What was left out of the report, was @aishaforward10.com noting that while MPD is uncomfortable getting involved due to safety fears, our neighbors have been getting involved with whistles and their bodies!

It has been a busy week in our household! Katie was biking herself up until the day before her appointment. I was happy to be able to pilot her and our little Hansi both ways. We have also taken him on the bus for a few follow up appointments. I love living in a city and having options!

Pearll Warren open mic from yesterday. She didn't ultimately get into a heated back and forth with Brian, unlike with Mary.

The first bill out of the Trump administration was the Laken Riley Act. Only one Minnesota Democrat voted to support it.

Since then, the president has used it to separate families and detain thousands of people without due process. Nothing can undo the damage that has been done.

MPS teachers are still teaching our students in-person and online in google meets (until April 6) w/ zero input to our working conditions, raising thousands of dollars for rent relief, providing mental health supports for our students, & delivering food 2x a week.

miss me w/ that ptsd bullshit.

This is my friend. About two months ago she had ~50 people over to discuss our coalition’s response so far and going forward. Who was leading, who was listening, who was doing what, who was ready to jump in.

Senator Housley wants to repeal the current Metro Sales tax if the amendment passes. Mohamed invites her to work on the bill, and Housley accepts! #bipartisanship abounds!
Ope! Amendment fails 5-6.
Now Sen. Draheim wants to divide evenly not by population, but by congressional district.

Ok, this testifier, ouch. She just asked all of the councilmembers if they've patrolled, or done any of the things thousands of Minneapolis residents have been doing over the past 2 months. That should be a roll-call question, actually.

Senator Zaynab Mohamed bringing forth a constitutional amendment for housing.

Slide for Our future starts at home.

@zaynabmmohamed.bsky.social bringing forth the Our Future Starts at Home bill for a constitutional amendment for housing. Includes a housing opportunity fund rental opportunity fund, and a Community and Household stability fund.

Senator Nelson wearing "Beacon Blue" at the Housing committee meeting!

Bill moves forward. Port noted that the need last year was $2.3 billion, but it will help!
Thanks, @lindseyportmn.bsky.social for your leadership.

Sen. Gruenhagen: Regarding need for more housing, "we need less regulation." Regarding Housing Bonds, We need more oversight.
@lindseyportmn.bsky.social had the receipts on the oversight and reports.

In SE Minnesota, 46,000 families are cost burdened.

The bill would also support housing support services and repair of existing homes.

Now Chair @lindseyportmn is introducing a $200 million housing infrastructure bond bill to address the shortage.

Republicans claiming that the issue is due to the Inflation Reduction Act environmental "scams."

Attending the MN Housing and Homelessness Prevention Committee. Mpls Fed discussing the MN Housing shortage.In 6 out of 7 Minnesota Metro Areas, a new Elementary School teacher would not be able to afford an apartment at 30% of their income.

They had security issues during COVID and claim that the eviction moratorium tied their hands. It seems like a threshold where certain crimes would void the moratorium would resolve it.

elianna of southwest alliance for equity describes politcians who want to alleviate suffering, who want to cause suffering, and those who are indifferent. says some minneapolis city council members may be latter, not doing enough to help, urges them to talk to colleagues & constituents who do more

It amazes me, how local "journalists" continue to take local police statements as fact.
This video seems to tell a different story, and perhaps a statement from a witness would be important here.
