Someone really needs to ask Richard if he wants his legacy to be the DFL chair who LOST the first statewide election in decades?

This is Latonya Reeves abusing her position(s) with the state DFL. Was Minneapolis DFL supposed to build a time machine to unsend mailers that already went out?! Should they have anticipated the state DFL would be so corrupt? Just petty and ridiculous.

when you allow people to hold multiple state level positions of power, you are creating a situation where people will naturally have conflicts of interest and not be in a position to hold others accountable for those conflicts. And that's where corruption festers.

the state DFL executive committee is insisting (via vote by the majority of their members) that it's the Mpls DFL that needs to be put on "probation" and "monitored closely" over the next two years when the same fucking people sit all the committees and create one giant circle jerk

These are starting to pop up in South as well as some ambiguous homemade park board signs.

Telling people who to vote FOR in a crowded race should be the way. 🀞🏻

people who aren't tuned into the election are going to be faced with a mayoral ballot of more than a dozen candidates when they go to vote. help them out and tell them who to vote for. being anti jacob frey is not enough. you have to believe in another candidate

anti jacob frey billboard at lake & cedar says β€œbye frey, vote nov 4” doesn’t bother telling you who to vote for

this stuff isn’t helpful, you gotta learn from the mistakes of 2021, promote candidates, promote someone to vote FOR, not just who to vote AGAINST!

good luck to the state DFL and its candidates in 2026 but all their recent decisions just reaffirm that i will remain focused on covering minneapolis politics next year instead of the statewide elections. if the state thinks we're not important, that can go both ways!

How to relieve traffic congestion, guaranteed:

Support density, sidewalks, protected bike lanes, and high quality public transit. Give people more reasons to stay out of cars and the road will open up to you.

Based on what they’ve said and how they’ve acted before, I’d even say that they *want* some of those folks to die

Thinking of AI as a Social Problem No need to know the unknowable. The knowable is bad enough.

"Why would OpenAI and Microsoft spend $23 million to give 'free training' on how to use AI to teachers? Because they love teachers? No. Because they want to get their products into public schools in an attempt to cultivate the education market." β€”Β @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social

Adding for anyone else who comes to this thread: I got both COVID and flu shots at the Quarry Cub about a week ago. No weird questions, not a long wait!

But that's just me (adult). I don't know how they do with kiddos.

Mini cooper is parked on a sidewalk with the engine running

I’m thoroughly annoyed that this auto shop is for some reason allowed to park cars on the sidewalk, but especially when they leave the engine running while the car blocks most of the sidewalk (as was the case here).

If you’re looking for Covid shots for your kids.

I was ready to lie and say Asthma but they don’t ask what underlying condition. Pharmacist apologized and said β€œwe have to ask.” When my husband went he answered β€œno” and she said β€œyou need to answer yes.” He got the jab.

If I did sports betting, I'd put money on the next commissioner of the WNBA being a black woman and the NBA somehow being worse about the W then they have been.

Latonya, Julie Wicklund and their allies in the state DFL know this and they do not care.

They’d rather entrench themselves in the power that they hold, then move the party left

worth noting, all state seats are up for reelection in 2026

that includes the Governor AND the AG

if the DFL loses these seats, it’s going to be devastating to those in the crosshairs of the federal government and state Rs

Reeves is also on the Minneapolis Executive Committee. Seems like a conflict that a Minneapolis Exec Committee member is leading this challenge.

It does not make sense.
The treatment Rep Franson is receiving should be fully covered by insurance. Gender health care is not "trans only" care, its for all of us. If we ever get over the moral panic of trans existence, we can do SO much good together for everyone's health and mental well being.
