Attorneys for 15 Minnesota residents facing federal conspiracy charges have obtained evidence of a sweeping, possibly unconstitutional spying operation carried out by ICE against left-wing social movements in Minnesota and beyond.
I live in the 6th, and I've met Chapin a couple times. Can he win? Well, he's the strongest candidate the DFL has put up in many years. If Blaine goes blue this year, he's got a shot at an upset victory few saw coming.

everyone I know has been channeling their trauma from January into continued action, incl voting, and I hope the DFL understands we want heads on pikes
In Minneapolis, which Flanagan's campaign notes was the "heart of Operation Metro Surge," early voter turnout last week hit 101% of equivalent 2024 turnout.
Carsharing—and bike sharing—is a natural extension of public transit, especially for the people who can least afford a car and would benefit from more coordinated services.

It’s nausea-inducing. I am 54 and I have lived in three states as an adult and I have rarely seen campaign advertising as overtly racist as what I’ve been seeing this cycle here in MN. I despise the GOP with the thermonuclear fire of a thousand blazing suns.

His colleagues and friends share this grief, and the outrage over both the attempts to smear him and the lack of justice.
It will come. We will not forget.
just heartbreaking stuff
Alex Pretti's mother calls out ICE and the Trump administration for killing her son and smearing his name, and calls for justice to be done.
The feds “have ignored us, misled us and shielded Alex’s killers,” Michael Pretti told reporters.
Minnesota U.S Attorney Daniel Rosen has “stonewalled us for nine months, refusing to share a single update of any kind” on the federal investigation into Alex’s killing. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/1...
It’s been 9 months since Alex Pretti was killed by federal agents in Minneapolis.
I’m ready to fight for every piece of evidence we need to investigate this case.
PROSECUTE ICE: VOTE FRAZIER
The persecution of @repilhan.bsky.social just days before an election is vile and politically-motivated.
I'm leading 175 House Democrats in denouncing this. When we retake power, we have to seriously look at how we can stop these abuses of power — starting with the power of the purse.
Donald Trump has tried to purge voter rolls nationwide. Deidre Henderson, the Republican lieutenant governor of Utah, is among the chief election officers standing in his way. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
I’m honored to have the endorsement of Attorney General Keith Ellison.
PROSECUTE ICE: VOTE FRAZIER goes beyond just a statement. It means direct collaboration with our Attorney General, who is already suing the federal government for evidence we’ll need to begin prosecution.
I spoke to / emailed with HOURCAR Member Services staff many times over ~20 years of membership; they occasionally seemed overburdened, but were unfailingly helpful, courteous, and professional.
Help support former HOURCAR staff!
"As of Oct. 17, all HOURCAR staff are out of a job; none will be paid severance, nor are they eligible for COBRA. This fund creates an emergency financial cushion for those who were paid below living wage."

As for Fleet Services, the vehicles were VERY well maintained. I never once came across a vehicle with a dirty interior, or with any serious maintenance problems, in the entire time I used HOURCAR.

@ward3.minneapolismn.gov These deep cuts to Minneapolis Elections and Voter Services staff seem like a very bad idea, especially right before midterm elections. Is there anything that can be done?
I should have mentioned that my office is Minneapolis Elections & Voter Services. The Mayor's budget eliminates seven staff members less than two weeks before an anxiety-inducing midterm. No more high school election judge program. No more voter outreach.
“Building off historic racist stereotypes, the largest cosmetics company in the world knowingly marketed and sold hair products that increased cancer risks to Black women and girls, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison.”
i don’t wanna hear talk of how civically engaged minneapolis residents are around the election and how we vote in high numbers from the city or mayor this year with these proposed budget cuts to the elections & voter services office
if you value these things, fund them like you do!
The supervisor of our Early Vote Center, gone. The supervisor overseeing mail staff, gone. Our lead election judge trainer, gone. Supervisor of logistics staff making sure equipment functions correctly and polling sites have what they need, gone.
It’s a subject that makes a lot of people uncomfortable and calling them corrupt and evil is easier. But the truth is that Republicans have a rape problem—one that they celebrate.
Extraordinary. I can't believe your story may be the first time the Republican's acceptance of the rape and abuse of woman and children has been spoken of in such clear terms... considering how goddamn long it's been going on.
If Amy Acton was a good daughter, she would have teamed up with her mother to get rich off an Alzheimer’s drug they knew wouldn’t work.

waymo representative sent to a city of minneapolis event can’t give a real answer about their vehicles utilizing bike lanes or not when this is a known PR issue for the company and we are one of the top biking cities in the country
it’s talk of safety for the people inside the waymo only
I asked the Waymo rep whether they allow their cars to park in bike lanes. She said they do, depending on city regulations.
Would they comply if the city prohibits parking in bike lanes?
She said she would have to get back to me on that.
LAWLESS!
We speak with three union workers who are among the “Minnesota 15” defendants the Trump administration is targeting for organizing to defend their Minneapolis communities from ICE earlier this year.
