Minneapolis progressives swoon over Zohran Mamdani's NYC win In Mamdani's upset, they see a roadmap for unseating Mayor Jacob Frey

Cuomo’s base is the same as Mayor Frey’s. They prioritize corporations over working people.

Frey’s campaign isn’t about abundance. It’s about vetoing a historic city budget for workers, disinvested communities, immigrants + BIPOC residents, and unhoused residents.

If they’re Christian, they’re “devout”. If they’re Muslim, they’re “radical”.

Lawmakers Demand Palantir Provide Information About U.S. Contracts

New: led by Senator @wyden.senate.gov and Rep. @aoc.bsky.social, members of Congress are demanding Palantir answer questions about their federal contracts following our NYT story last month: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/t...

Thank you for explaining this in such detail! I am always glad to learn more about local renter protections.

STATE OF MINNESOTA IN COURT OF APPEALS A24-1159 Tyrone Murphy, Appellant, vs. Aeon, Respondent, Steven Scott Management, Inc., et al., Respondents; Kings Manor, LLC, Respondent, vs. Tyrone D. Murphy, Appellant, John Doe, et al., Defendants. Filed June 16, 2025 Reversed and remanded Bond, Judge Hennepin County District Court File Nos. 27-CV-HC-22-4251, 27-CV-HC-22-4631 Erica A. Holzer, Haley-Rose C. Severson, Maslon LLP, Minneapolis, Minnesota (for appellant Tyrone Murphy) Laurel J. Pugh, Abriter PLLC, St. Louis Park, Minnesota (for respondent Aeon) Christopher T. Kalla, Douglass E. Turner, Hanbery & Turner, P.A., Minneapolis, Minnesota (for respondents Steven Scott Management, Inc., and Kings Manor, LLC) Samuel Spaid, HOME Line, Bloomington, Minnesota (for amicus curiae HOME Line)

DECISION A determination that a residential apartment is temporarily uninhabitable due to fire damage and must not be occupied until repairs are complete does not extinguish a tenant’s present possessory right to the apartment under a written lease and, consequently, a landlord’s installation of a padlock on a residential tenant’s apartment door in response to such a determination without judicial process is an unlawful lockout under Minn. Stat. § 504B.375. Alternative housing costs and consequential damages are remedies that a district court may, in its discretion, award to a prevailing tenant in an emergency tenant remedies action, Minn. Stat. § 504B.381, even when the fire that caused the tenant’s apartment to become uninhabitable was not caused by the landlord. Reversed and remanded.

Minnesota Appellate Court Watch: a major tenants' rights decision came down today. In a *precedential* opinion, the Court of Appeals ruled that (1) landlords may not lock tenants out even in cases of damage to a property, and (2) courts may award replacement housing and consequential dmgs in an ETRA

I cannot emphasize enough how brave this small group of protesters was today.

ICE showed up at Chicago’s immigration court with more agents, vehicles, and gear than they’ve ever brought in the past—spoiling for a fight.

has anyone else noticed a massive uptick in scammy accounts reposting other creators’ animal rescue content? with paypal links in bio to fundraise for more “rescues”?

The armed, yellow-vested "peacekeepers" at the Utah 50501 protest in Salt Lake City opened fire into a crowd, hitting two people:

A Sāmoan fashion designer with two young kids, who died.

A second-generation Venezuelan immigrant and antiracist protester who was legally carrying. Cops charged HIM.

Suspect showed few signs of political extremism before lawmaker shootings Friends and associates say Vance Boelter, who was apprehended late Sunday and charged with murdering a state lawmaker and her husband, was mild-mannered and did not appear to be fixated on politics.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

ummmm, sibley county, eagan, and maple grove all under shelter in place?

My local taco truck has been missing and I’m concerned about their employees :(

The discourse about how to protest right is a distraction from what the protests are actually about: SECURITY FORCES CAME IN THE NIGHT AND TOOK 2000 PEOPLE AWAY

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The cost of “less lethal” weapons is written on the faces of so many journalists and citizens in Minneapolis from 2020. Lost eyes, TBIs.

I hope folks in MN recognize that we could very well be included in the scope of this order.

Be safe. Speak up.

Now Hegseth is saying that the active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton are on alert to come in if the National Guard isn’t enough.

The U.S. government is ready to unleash our own military on civilians.

It is definitely time to be frightened about what is happening here.

If you want to show solidarity with Los Angeles, the best thing to do is organize protests against ICE tonight/tomorrow in your own cities.

Search the web for ICE rapid response networks in your own city / state and sign up. Help your neighbors.

Video from about an hour ago as less than lethal rounds are being used against protesters in Southern California

Now the Uptown Farmers Market is coming to the same location as the garden because of course, nothing cleanses land quite like white folks and organic food.

The Pencil Sharpening today caused unplanned, chaotic traffic stoppage around half the lake and adjacent cross streets (26th - 24th). No marshals. Cars abandoned in the driving lane.

Thinking about Wince Way and how many of the same people condemned us standing in the streets to protest a murder.

Posting for @acatwithnews.bsky.social, who is out in Paramount, CA, where federal agents reportedly are conducting ICE raids, and have completely gassed out the neighborhood

Photos from Sean, who understandably cannot post updates right away.

This is exactly why we were saying defund the police. The police are the vanguard of authoritarian regimes.

Happening right now in Southern #California, ICE continues attacking people.

tomorrow!

these structures are urban gravestones to me, just like ghost bikes and flowers piled against utility poles.

when you see fences under bridges or iron bars blocking sidewalks or mountains of rubble in empty lots, please remember that someone was surviving there but their government preferred them dead

“nobody wants to have thoughtful discussions anymore”

nobody wants to have them with YOU

no acknowledgement or empathy for a people that it was 4 years before to the day that federal police forces (with deputized local police) killed Winston Smith under the guise of some opaque federal operation. - that is not leadership, that is failure. the same repeated failure.

the company line from the Mayor and his dopey police sychophant surrogates, is that misinformation from activists escalated the trauma and panic of yesterday. No. Military vehicles, long guns, covered masked faces and jungle fatigues looking like a junta escalated panic and fear
