We live in a metropolitan area of the United States. People who are going about their lives like other Americans are being taken away for no reason and trauma is being inflicted at schools, hospitals, neighborhoods. It’s appalling that complaints are made about their dining options being affected.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

hi from Minneapolis. these folks are catastrophically overthinking it; the immediate need when agents hit a block is for people that speak *any* language to know it's not safe to go out. that need is far more pressing than whatever this infantilizing "actually it's racist to make noise" shit is.

You lying piece of shit. I chaired the Minnesota DFL for all three of your runs here. I watched you lose. Three times. Minnesota never bought your con. And now, as Chair of the DNC, I’m looking forward to ending Trumpism for good in 2028 — not with lies, but with votes. Again.
Trump: "I feel I won Minnesota. I think I won it all three times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon won it many many years ago. I won it all three times in my opinion. It's a corrupt state ... I did so well in that state. The people were crying every time after."

Richfield passed our legislative priorities last night, with the following addition from CM Walter Burk (approved 5-0).
It is regrettable that it is a "policy position" that the federal government should follow the law and decades-long norms of law enforcement. But here we are.

Mamdani's model only works in a few places now, the most effective way for him to spread his ideas is to be a good mayor.
and that's ok!
it's ok for a socialist running against a former (Dem) governor to win without radically reshaping the electorate
it's ok to do just enough with mod-Dem base voters to win comfortably
we have a (sewer) socialist Mayor now and that rocks!
but it's not something bigger than that

Was a mistake to drop the "weird" attack
RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

Traffic laws are now photo-enforced in the City of Mpls. Five traffic safety cameras were placed on accident-prone streets and will now issue tickets for speeding - $40 or $80 depending on the speed.
This is a step towards encouraging behavior change to slow down drivers and keep our city safe.🚦

Beautiful transformation of a suburban collector route in Northfield — streets that formerly had one-side sidewalk and nothing for bikes, now have sidewalks on both sides and a generous, two-way protected bike lane.

Again, the key fact here is that convention organizers lost 180 votes for mayor (23% of the total) and wrongfully dropped the third-place candidate. Without those errors it is difficult for there to have been a mayoral endorsement. The organizers ADMIT the errors, but argued to keep the result.
The state party’s rules committee heard scores of challenges to historic endorsement that drew national attention.

This is such a sad story but a great example of where cities (especially suburbs) go wrong in zoning rules and considering public input.
Public input is invaluable when you are *writing* the rules. Public input should not dictate whether or not to *follow* the rules you passed.
