My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

The tension over the project’s price tag and source of its funding underscore just how contentious Bloomington city spending has become in recent years.

Bloomington spent nearly $1 million in federal COVID relief money on City Hall bathroom

A city official said the remodeling project provided a much needed update for an aging facility. Some residents, however, have questioned the city’s priorities.

I don’t wait for permission to fight for what’s right. I’m running to represent Missouri’s First because our community deserves a leader who shows up when it’s hardest and fights for all of us with courage.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

star tribune finally touches campaign finance, only mentions we love mpls, which was shut down months ago and replaced by thrive mpls, which does not get named. sigh

Frey is winning mayoral money race, but his opponents lead in these areas

Fateh, Davis and Hampton have more support in neighborhoods with more immigrants and less income. Will it translate to votes?

i love the deep camaraderie being built in the copy room after our duty day between overworked Mpls teachers & our mutual disdain for Jacob Frey.

seriously, we haven’t all been in solidarity like this since before the strike.

A paragraph from a news article discussing a new rule affecting H-2A farmworkers. It reads: “In addition, the new rule allows farm employers to charge H-2A workers for their housing, which was not allowed before. ‘It’s a way for employers to continue to house workers and also charge them, and bring down effective wages,’ said Marcos Lopez of the Labor and Community Center at the University of California, Davis.”
