“it would be really sad in this moment of minnesota did not defeat republicans up and down the ballot,” ilhan omar says minnesota is not interested in a “pedophile protection party, minnesota does not come after our refugees, we send one to congress.”

“because we are these people, we see what is coming and we prepare for it,” says ilhan omar of having such an engaged constituency that are “students of movements.” talked of people predicting operation metro surge and building networks, her colleagues in congress marvel at these

ilhan omar says somalis are not people to mess with. they immediately began making fun of trump’s attempt to demonize them. “our lack of fear is also rooted in our faith and understanding we don’t EVER get to be bullied by anyone.”

ilhan omar says she was a civic engagement nerd. as a kid she would help her grandfather with translating at caucuses, then she got involved with DFL party leadership. she lost to phyllis kahn once, then ran again and won. they had increased youth vote by 35% that election

“some people in the party leadership wanted us to reconsider… which is funny, because i remember asking them to reconsider something last year… something about an endorsement. but that’s the beauty of american politics, we all get to make our own decisions,” says omar fateh

christin crabtree and robin wonsley appearing on omar fateh’s talk show “i’m the host now”! municipal level baddies

This makes me angry, because Zak X is pending trial for multiple assaults and has continued to wander around harassing peaceful protesters while live-stream8ng for profit. Our system treats white men differently than POC. www.misfitsmedia.press/a-right-wing...

misfitsmedia.pressA right-wing dipshit keeps attacking people in MinnesotaZak X is accused of assaulting several people in Minnesota. A restraining order against him says he raped a woman last year.

with david hoch being there it makes me think jake lang and zak x are trying to film videos that collect on trump bounty for exposing fraud. hoch drove nick shirley around in the video that included the quality learning center in loring park last year. the MN republicans worked with hoch before that

we stopped at longfellow school, which was slated to close in all 3 of MPS’ transformation plans, and christin crabtree explained why it is special, how it serves teen parents & keeps them in school “this kind of school is transformational in itself and should’ve never been slated for closure.”

📣 Hey! Checking back in... Almost a week later, and at least currently, we are once again with no operational elevators at the LPM Apartments highrise. 1 elevator has been working off and on all week, with 5 significant outages, and at least two times where people were trapped for over an hour. 🤬🤮

really infuriating to have ANOTHER loring park building in such poor condition when LPM is so new compared to the others facing issues, they’re decades older. there is no excuse for this

Kyle Jones@kylejon.es

Current situation at LPM Apartments. 2 out of 3 elevators have been broken for a week, with the 3rd having daily outages. The 3rd finally broke down completely, with no idea when it will be fixed. This is a 36 story building with 354 units.

this is why negligent landlords NEED to factor into convos about public safety & current status of loring park, because they are driving people away! contributing to the trend i've seen over last decade but esp since covid where young professionals don't move here anymore or move away after 1 year

the algorithm effect makes it so people are very activated against, say, the issue of data centers, but there is a lack of a self education being done on the topic of how local governments work to translate this motivation to make change into effective opposition, IMO

We can honor their memory—and also the memories of Marcia, Mary, Tom, and Will—by working to ensure that organized people can beat organized money once again in Minnesota.

Paul Wellstone's last campaign was my first.  I’m so grateful for the opportunities the young organizer in this photo was given because of Paul and Sheila.

The original homeowner, William C. Leber, pulled the building permit himself, obscuring who actually built it. Leber was manager of Leber Wholesale Jewelry and Manufacturing Company, Manufacturers of All Kinds of Jewelry.

Glad they unearthed the black and white high school yearbook photo but it's only going to increase the weaponization of federal law enforcement when Trumpers realize Ilhan Omar was the girl in high school who wouldn't give them the time of day.

with the reconstruction happening at the basilica you can see the foundation because they’ve removed the steps leading up to the church. they’re just sitting in the yard still

If, as is widely expected, there turns out to be a special primary and a special election, then those will be the subject of a supplemental budget request, rather than being part of the main budget proposal. The number of dollars may also shrink in the process, but even if not, it *looks* better.
