It took 7+ years of coordinated, multi-collation organizing to set the conditions that resulted in the election of Mamdani. Mpls is gonna have to get on the good foot if we’re ever going to rid ourselves of Jacob Frey.

No matter where I live in Minneapolis, I somehow manage to be triangulated by 3 tornado sirens.

GOP realized years ago they’d never successfully run a Republican for Mpls mayor so they just bought Frey.

CBRC Vacates Minneapolis Convention Mayoral Endorsement,Β Calls for Party Unity Heading into the 2026 Election | Minnesota DFL ST. PAUL – Today, DFL Party Chairman Richard Carlbom released the following statement regarding the Minnesota DFL’s Constitution, Bylaws & Rules Committee (CBRC) decision regarding challenges that ste...

One of the most offensive and tone deaf statements ever from the DFL party chair. He talks about broadening the coalition when he just kicked so many of us out of it by caving to the donors and insiders who have been pressuring him over the people who actually show up.

Little stomping, screaming monsters moved in next door in my side-by-side duplex. Am I allowed to hobble a toddler?

I started renting in Minneapolis over 30 years ago. You know what hasn’t changed? The blatant anti-Black racism. Apartment availability mysteriously disappears the moment I show up for the viewing 80% of the time.

I should be allowed to purge the jackholes still setting off fireworks at 1:30am.

Minneapolis, I’m looking for an apartment, preferably in Lyndale/Kingfield. Lemme know.

Is nobody training canvassers these days? If I say no thank you, the response should be, β€œsorry to bother you” and leave. What you don’t do is try to debate and convince me that I really do want to talk. If I could legally electrify my doorbell and install a tiger pit under my front step, I would.

Minnesota’s arts orgs are losing funding for refusing to comply with a federal effort to resegregate the country. Billion-dollar foundations like McKnight, Bush, & MAC must step up. Your endowments will be worthless in a fascist state. Fund the resistance. Fund the arts. Now.

If I ever find a Black therapist in Minneapolis, know that is probably a sign that our reality has fractured or that the world is ending.

Okay, Twin Cities.
I’ve been missing singing and I’m looking for a choir to join. Hit me with your recommendations, if you know of a choir in MSP.

*I’m not trying to be the only Black person in the choir.

Preview of my next post: anyone want to start a choir with me?

House Fast Tracks Bill That Would Give Trump Power to Target Nonprofits New legislation could give Donald Trump unprecedented power to go after nonprofit organizations he disagrees with.

Sanewashing is one of the ways conservatives are attempting to stifle opposition from nonprofits. This is another: dismantling advocacy and policy nonprofit organizations and their philanthropic support. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Funding the Resistance Is Not a Winning Strategy. Here’s What Is. Billions spent fighting Trumpian populism hasn’t worked. Practicing a pluralistic approach to grant making will.

This is the umptenth time this article has been fed to me by the algorithm across multiple social channels. We should all be wary of this type of sanewashing, often coming from the same conservative architects of our current dystopian unraveling. www.philanthropy.com/commons/trum...

Finally wandering over here. Need an algorithm accelerator to reconnect with all of my non-bot friends. Here we go: Walz is anti-Black; fat bears forever; white Christian nationalism is the greatest threat to bodily autonomy; watch this space for shit posting during the MN Legislative Session.
