Ever is a long time but from what I’ve gathered, not in any public way and maybe not internally either. I tried to ask for data around hours/practices/assignments 5 years ago and got nothing, then Brian Smith was forced out. Robin and Cam said “no” on our last episode and they were there 16 years

a man with a beard is laying down wearing a shirt that says adidas Alt: Ricky Rubio looking cuddly AF

There’s one Ricky I wouldn’t mind seeing perform at the rhino

Moriarty haters will blame it on her for having “bad relations with the law enforcement community”

What did they DOOOOOO with all that extra time????

Democratic state lawmakers in New York to back tax hike on rich The state Senate and Assembly budget proposals are set to include plans to boost taxes on millionaires, a plan opposed by Gov. Kathy Hochul.

lets fucking goooooooo LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

Looks like the Guardian is reporting this as well, based on the same troops advocacy group

I shared my pessimism that the money forces seem ready to fight this form of aid to impacted people

NEW EPISODE posted last night: millcityhall.com/episodes/202...

We talked about the opposition to eviction relief mounting locally and statewide in yesterday. Unfortunately it seems today’s city hearing provides more evidence of that.

Robin asked: why would we hold landlords harmless?

Non-profits are still governed by market logic and are not a substitute for the welfare state and robust, well-funded public housing

Rich Mpls own up to being rich challenge

Just because I’m not Bezos doesn’t mean I don’t have a qualitative economic advantage vis-a-vis an avg family targeted by ICE. You want to call me rich that’s fair game.

Are you familiar with this Larsen dude? Make sense given background but also fits my preferred narrative well and I’ve never heard of him 🤣

In today’s episode we talked about resistance to the eviction moratorium. Looks to me like proponents have pivoted tactics a bit. I think this is absolutely worth support!

and credit to progressives on the council to keep working to find what can pass and survive a veto.

Robin pointed to the big gap between aid provided by the initiative of regular people and the slow and smaller aid materializing from government - despite some crowing from Walz and Frey

Cam shared his worry that the more profound aid we need - justice - will go unmet

New podcast episode! For my fellow night owls: millcityhall.com/episodes/202...

We look over attempts by the city and others to measure the profound impact of the ICE invasion, attempts to provide aid and relief, and an accounting of who is actually helping.

Haven’t seen 3rd party verification on this specific claim, but Hegseth’s Christian nationalism is well documented.

You can either pour fuel on antisemitism with claims like “Israel made us do it”, or you can point to the longstanding, domestic evangelical drive to align w/ Israel gov violence

“Labor unions need to stop being so mean to billionaires because everyone knows lots of billionaires are Dems and splash money around”, I say as a very serious political figure and thinker

For fucks sake big money centrist democrats we’ve been holding our noses to vote for you schmucks for years, can you please hold the anti-fascist united front until we’re a bit past this huge crisis huh??? Before you split to become the new-old GOP?

Tomorrow we’re taking up Pause Evictions Save Lives, a policy that will temporarily extend pre-eviction notice from 30 to 60 days until August 31st. This will give residents more time to get resources and support so that families can stay together and we can keep people in their homes.

inquilinxsunidxs ALL OUT TO TELL CITY COUNCIL: NO EVICTIONS UNDER OCCUPATION TUESDAY, MARCH. 3 @ 9:30 AM CITY HALL (350 S. 5TH ST), ROOM 380 The threat of eviction continues the work of occupation and abductions by another means.

New research with @aaronsojourner.org of the @upjohninstitute.bsky.social posted on @northstarpolicy.org's blog. We find that Operation Metro Surge caused declines in employees working, hours worked, and businesses open, leading to an estimated $106 million wage loss for Twin Cities workers.

The two things Black Philly wanted me to know when I moved there in 2012 (as in, multiple people told me!):

1) Washington owned slaves and he brought them here. Go and see the chains on Independence Mall.

2) They bombed Black people while we had a Black mayor in office.

Me, a Detroiter: *Damn.*

We were literally watching our community provide a ceremony at the Whipple building.

Hennepin County Sheriff’s then began to escalate tensions. This was disrespectful to our community, our culture, and our ancestors.

This created fear and was an attack on our right to peacefully assemble.

about 30 people were arrested at whipple this morning for unlawful assembly, and many first hand reports say hennepin county sheriff's office were escalating. people were arrested when they were retreating, and people were knocked down by law enforcement

Statement on unlawful assembly, arrests at Whipple Building: This morning, our deputies issued dispersal orders at an unlawful assembly outside the Whipple Building after individuals blocked roadways, blocked access to local businesses, dumped glass into the street, and threw rocks, ice chunks and water bottles at law enforcement creating a serious public safety hazard. Arrests are being made. Freedom of speech and peaceful assembly is a right. Endangering the public is not. Unlawful activity including blocking roads, intentionally creating hazards and assaultive behavior will not be tolerated.

From what I saw today firsthand it was the sheriffs today constantly escalating at people protesting peacefully. The sheriffs were masked up like ICE while working hard to agitate and provoke the residents they were sworn to protect, all so they could provide security for ICE who murders people.

Hennepin County Sherrifs are helping attack ICE protesters at the Whipple right now - #FUCKICE #ICEOUT
