In tentative sale agreement, Cub Foods in Baxter will close in September Miner’s agrees to purchase Cub Foods in Brainerd and Supervalu in Pequot Lakes and rebrand to Super One Foods.

Absolutely shameful. This area can't afford to lose any more good union jobs.

They want to create a world of intimidation, fear, and hate.

We want to create a world of acceptance, hope, and love.

Ask yourself: which of those worlds do you want to live in?

Today was a fantastic showcase of solidarity with working people in Downtown Brainerd. Thanks to everyone who came out and showed their support!

The DFL just lost a winnable race because they shoehorned in a moderate candidate rather than let the voters actually decide on their candidate.

Hope you're all happy with the results.

Council denies permit for boarding house in west Brainerd The boarding house was a part of the Creekside Community development, which aims to providing housing for the homeless.

So I guess Brainerd just hates homeless people now.

Step 1: Make homelessness illegal

Step 2: Give them nowhere to go for half the year

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit off cruelty

Yesterday's energy was incredible. You could feel it everywhere you looked.

But today shows that energy means nothing if it can't be harnessed and directed towards meaningful change.

The real work begins now.

GOP leaders call on Sen. Eichorn to resign after arrest for allegedly soliciting a minor Bloomington police say state Sen. Justin Eichorn, R-Grand Rapids, was arrested around 6 p.m. Monday for allegedly soliciting a minor for prostitution. House and Senate Republican leaders called for Ei...

It's nice when both sides can agree on something!

In all seriousness, Justin Eichorn needs to go. The residents of Senate District 6 deserve someone who'll actually represent their interests instead of doing...well, whatever this is.

Four years ago today, Brainerd Lakes Area DSA held its first public meeting.

And in those four years, we've been able to make a tremendous impact, fighting to make our communities better.

Here's to another four years, comrades.

...You're kidding, right?

All this instead of just scheduling a special election?

Let the residents of Brainerd decide who represents them.

Can't wait for right-wingers to start flooding this app and quickly realize that they can't get away with the same stuff Musk lets run rampant on Twitter.

It's gonna be great.

Hey, we made it! Thanks for including us in the list.

With how active the platform seems, I imagine plenty of other chapters will be setting up their own accounts here soon.

Jeff Czeczok's vacant city council seat must be filled by a Special Election. Brainerd residents should have the ultimate say in who represents them.

The next city council meeting is scheduled for Monday, November 18th at 7:30 PM. Please make sure your voice is heard.

Imagine thinking that working to empower underrepresented communities is colonizing

This is a massive moment for our chapter, something we've been building towards from the earliest days of our organizing efforts.

Our work is still far from done though, and we look forward to keeping you all updated as things progress.

Solidarity!

Pretty sure we just made history.

With a vote at our chapter meeting earlier tonight, BLA/DSA is (to our knowledge) the first DSA organizing unit to commit to organizing on a Native reservation.
