Mint properties always have the hugest ice flows onto sidewalks in front of them in the winter and suck to walk past
Please direct any questions regarding this statement to our attorney Daniel Suitor, [email protected]
A few weeks ago, Minneapolis for the Many made social media posts and emails describing Jim Rubin, of Mint Properties, as a “negligent” landlord and stated that he “is singlehandedly responsible for hundreds of property violations.” We retract those statements and sincerely apologize to Mr. Rubin. He has never been held negligent in his duties as a landlord by a court, nor is it fair to say he is personally responsible for every property violation found at his company’s properties. Mr. Rubin has a history of purchasing, renovating, and operating older buildings which often includes inheriting major maintenance backlogs. Mr. Rubin’s efforts to create naturally occurring affordable housing in Minneapolis are laudable and much appreciated. Minneapolis for the Many regrets the implication that Mr. Rubin could be considered a “slumlord” or “negligent landlord.”

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history
Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

everyone needs to internalize that this is just how all republicans are and when nancy pelosi said "the country needs a strong republican party" she meant that more people like this should be powerful. they are all like this! they all think just like this and like trump and they love it and it's fun
POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

For Immediate Release
Italian-American Trade Unionists of America Condemn Columbus on Columbus Day

The ltalian-American Trade Unionists of America (IATUOA) has once again reaffirmed its condemnation of Christopher Columbus on Columbus Day.
"We only mention the son of a bitch's name once a year and it's when we announce that he's a son of a bitch on his name day," the IATUOA Executive Committee announced from a dark, smoke-filled room in the Italian-American Club of Shamokin, PA.

The IATUOA, founded on the principles of cultural solidarity through bargaining, mutual aid, shared dining experiences, and anti-imperialism, believes Columbus represents the antithesis of these core values. Based on his writing and contemporary accounts, Columbus was a greedy, self-indulgent strunz, a jerk-off that gleefully engaged in the enslavement and genocide of indigenous people for personal gain and fame.

Further, this fucking guy, supposedly Genoese, rarely spoke or wrote in Ligurian or any Italic language. What kind of "Italian" does that?

Italian-Americans deserve recognition and a holiday in the United States, but also deserve a figure worthy of their name. "If you're gonna name the fuckin' day Columbus Day, you might as well go-all in and make the fucking holiday Columbus/Mussolini Day to piss on a few more graves,"' the IATOUA Executive Committee further scoffed

As of this time,the IATUOA DaVinci Genealogy Caucus still questions the authenticity of Columbus' Italian ancestry. Based on this, and the organization's position that Columbus is "a piece of shit" the organization maintains its position that Italian-Americans (as well as indigenous people) deserve a holiday that truly recognizes our heritage and not one that celebrates a jackass.

The notion that those who took part in slavery or conquest were merely abiding by the moral standards of their time necessary excludes those they targeted and kidnapped from those standards; *they* were never confused about this. But other white people were frequently disgusted by this stuff too!
Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.
But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death.
The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed. After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died.
While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants.
Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

Deep dive into the surge in US pedestrian deaths:

"It’s not that more pedestrians are getting hit by vehicles; it’s that the ones that are getting hit are more likely to die."

"[That] seems like fairly strong evidence for the theory that the rise in large SUVs is behind the uptick in ped deaths."

It’s unfortunately not uncommon for pedestrians to be killed by cars in the US.

who tf is out there thinking "damn if only I had Condoleezza Rice's opinion on this"
Update: Bari Weiss’s first pitch at CBS — a roundtable with Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, and Hillary Clinton that ended up being a virtual interview with Clinton & Condoleezza Rice — has about 150 viewers on YouTube.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.

I dunno, feels like reaching the “hiding your neighbors from the masked secret police” stage of things in like 9 months doesn’t bode well for the next couple of years.
Imagine having urban architecture that makes you want to be there, instead of the hostile architecture we get to punish poor people
Just another traffic- calmed street in #Zürich, this one in Oerlikon. Trees planted on varying sides create chicanes, benches invite lingering, polkadot remind drivers to slow down. Neighbors say space fills with kids and adults on weekends.
A quiet european suburban street on a grey day. 4-story buildings line the street, which is narrowed here and there to make space for trees and benches. A swirly wooden slat art bench is in the bottom right of the photo.

A number of masked NIPAS officers here now have relieved troopers. These are cops from other suburban departments called in for police "mutual aid." Unsure what, if any, rules these guys have to follow re: face coverings while deployed right now (they are wearing assigned numbers).

President Trump: “Give me the Nobel Peace Prize!”

Nobel Prize:
Democracy is a precondition for lasting peace. However, we live in a world where democracy is in retreat, where more and more authoritarian regimes are challenging norms and resorting to violence.

Maria Corina Machado – awarded the 2025 #NobelPeacePrize – has spent years working for the freedom of the Venezuelan people. The Venezuelan regime’s rigid hold on power and its repression of the population are not unique in the world. [Highlighted sentence:] We see the same trends globally: rule of law abused by those in control, free media silenced, critics imprisoned, and societies pushed towards authoritarian rule and militarisation. In 2024, more elections were held than ever before, but fewer and fewer are free and fair.

Kingsley Bimpong was arrested, jailed because Eagan police assumed he was intoxicated. He was actually showing signs of a stroke. A drug recognition officer didn't follow training. Bimpong died on the floor of a cell, writhing in pain. Guards ignoring it.
