Melissa Hortman was known for reaching across the aisle in the MN House. Mike Lee (R UT) said she deserved to be assassinated by a wannabe SA dude. There is no amount of nice that will save you or your neighbors from fascist violence. Do not be nice.

That thing I said about how there's no being nice enough to save yourself and your neighbors from fascism? So don't be nice?

Some of our fellow citizens could learn useful lessons from the Canadians in these replies. A+ not putting up with nonsense.

I'm working out of state right now and I haven't left the apt without putting on a MN state flag pin or a tiny MN state charm on a thin silver chain. So I guess a context specific signature thing?

I used to wear the most amazing heeled shoes but plantar fasciitis ruined that fun thing.

I think it's fair for we Americans to go first on this one. The jerks in office got put there by an awful lot of American voters, after all.

Take Action Now: Call Mayor Frey and tell him to support Pause Evictions, Save Lives passed by the city council on 3/5/2026.

Mayor Frey: 612-673-2100

Sample Script: "I am calling to ask Mayor Frey to commit to supporting an extension of the pre-eviction notice period from 30 to 60 days. Countless neighbors are at immediate risk of displacement and this measure is the bare minimum the City can do to protect our neighbors. Can I count on his support?"

Today, the Mpls City Council passed the Pause Evictions, Save Lives ordinance, which would extend the pre-eviction notice period from 30 to 60 days.

Take action now and call Mayor Frey (612-673-2100) and tell him to stand with our neighbors and extend the pre-eviction filing period.

Thank you to every resident who came to testify at today’s hearing regarding Pause Evictions, Save Lives. This ordinance would temporarily extend the eviction notice period from 30 days to 60 days in response to Operation Metro Surge. 1/

The woes of having formerly a Minnesota business now a business based in Minnesota trying its level best to optimize and placate itself right out of business.

It sucks to be like "folks need to do what's right and also oh that would be SO BAD."

The worst thing about the idea of Target cratering is there are so many employees IN MINNESOTA- including folk for whom DEI policies were really beneficial- losing career jobs. I don't fault folks who boycott at ALL. Just... c-suite enshittification all around. UGH.

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.
