While the federal government seeks to mass deport our neighbors, legislative leaders and Gov. Walz have struck a deal to end state health coverage for undocumented adults.
This is capitulation, at a time when state and local support for people at risk from the Trump Administration is most crucial.

With President Trump and Elon Musk’s onslaught against the federal government, the Democratic Party establishment is failing to fill the role of an opposition party. We know we must build beyond the status quo to withstand the catastrophic actions at the federal level.

I’m excited to be endorsed by @twincitiesdsa.bsky.social. Our opponents say our vision for Minneapolis is extreme, but fighting for a city that works for everyone is not extreme. My goal is to implement people-focused, transformative solutions — that’s what Minneapolis residents deserve.

Stand aside, Frey: Our multiracial, working-class community drives commonsense progress in Minneapolis
Here’s what Twin Cities Democratic Socialists of America supports and what those who share our vision have achieved.

The city of Minneapolis produced this map during a recent presentation about the fate of the garbage burner. I took a moment, laid the map over I-94 and had a light bulb moment. Then I shouted "wait, hold on guys I found the source of the cancer!" But nobody listens.

How local TV covers I-94
➡️A big decision that will impact commuters
➡️What this could mean for "a whole lot of drivers."
➡️120,000 people travel this busy stretch every day.
No mention of people living within poisoning distance of 94, higher asthma rates, lifespans cut short.

I have great respect for
Andrew Hazzard at @sahanjournal.bsky.social, esp. for his great coverage of the Smith Foundry and Roof Depot, which is why I'm disappointed in this piece. There's no mention of the 100+ people who testified today, who overwhelmingly favored keeping the at-grade boulevard.

MnDOT officials narrowed down the list of 1-94 reconstruction designs between Minneapolis and St. Paul, eliminating options to remove the highway.
