Ppl who own million dollar homes in Wayzata want to tell working class Minneapolitans that their vision for the city is out of touch with reality. But the real question is WHOSE reality? When it comes down to it, what separates us from many of our goals is their greed.

I wonder how long the Strib will get away with saying the crime problem in MPLS is the result of an "understaffed police force" instead of saying that the city's leadership chooses to not implement proven strategies for reducing violent crime. www.startribune.com/roper-doomsd...

Roper: Doomsday docs aside, Minneapolis’ lush urbanity makes it a special place to call home

The city blossoms in the warmer months, even when bad headlines drown out what makes it great.

“I served with Omar Fateh. He doesn’t flinch, he doesn’t fold and he doesn’t forget who he’s working for: you.” — My former state senator, Patricia Torres Ray

Another day, another glowing endorsement for @omarfatehmn.com from a trusted political leader. (No paywall)

Opinion | Why Omar Fateh is the best choice for Minneapolis mayor

"I served with Fateh, have seen how relentless he is and know he is the type of leader we need at City Hall," Patricia Torres Ray writes.

“We went out to Denver as a group, and some representatives from Hennepin County came and we learned about the Denver model, which was to have an intense effort around those investigations.”

HCAO did go and we were excited about the Denver model. Minneapolis didn’t implement it.

We treat every non-fatal shooting in Saint Paul with the same urgency as a homicide. We’re solving more cases, cutting crime by double digits, and producing a record-low homicide rate—proving this action-driven approach creates safer outcomes.

St. Paul solved more crimes, had drastically fewer homicides in 2025

A remarkable shift is under way in St. Paul. The city is on track for a 70 percent drop in homicides by the end of 2025. And they’re solving more than 70 percent of crimes.

Sorry, the Downtown Council is just a glorified PAC now.

“Going out and doing festivals is not one of those areas we need to improve,” he said. “Where we do need to improve is safety and advocacy. Where we do need to improve is our long-range plan and making it happen to make Minneapolis the best city that it could possibly be.”

So I’ve been following an undercover ice vehicle from Franklin Ave South towards the Greenway for the last five minutes or so roughly 12:30 PM central time this is a picture of the vehicle and the inhabitants of the car who opened the window when they saw I was taking photos of them.

Photo of a license plate reading PY352 Minnesota license plate and it is an undercover vehicle

Two very tasty ice undercover agents in their undercover vehicle waving to the camera

More blurry image of the driver of the vehicle a very, very bald, very angry, looking older gentleman

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Federal immigration operations target San Diego neighborhoods, sparking community resistance

Federal immigration agents conducted operations in Logan Heights and Southeast San Diego on Friday, with community members capturing footage of the enforcement actions.
