I know it's a holiday eve. But we just dropped an @mprnews.org analysis of federal immigration habeas corpus petitions that gives a partial picture of the government’s approach/insight into the people being impacted in an increasingly opaque immigration system. (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

The MN GOP, including all candidates for governor, support masked men being able to walk into your kids daycare without identifying themselves while lying about enrolling fake children.

I think before you talk about snow plowing you should have to state your expectation of road condition pretty specifically.

I also think you should have to post a timestamped photo of your sidewalk and if it’s unshoveled you get a $100 fine.

What the local media is missing is that Nick Shirley isn’t an “independent influencer/journalist.”

He’s a paid propagandist being spoon fed stories by a dangerous right-wing propaganda machine that uses so-called influencers who aren’t beholden to any standards of transparency or accountability.
This 23-year-old right-wing YouTuber from Utah was granted rare access to the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), the authoritarian mega-prison in El Salvador.

Strangely enough, he also happened to be in Minneapolis on the very day Trump’s federal forces descended on Lake and Bloomington.

Americans do not have a "love affair" with cars, the term typically used in the media.

Rather we are in an abusive relationship, wanting to leave but fearing the consequences.

All based on a “gotcha” video claiming that 3 daycares had no kids. One hadn’t opened yet for the day; one is actually closed. Dude arrived with no I.D. No call ahead. They DIDN’T LET HIM IN!

The fraud they’re referencing was investigated & prosecuted by the Biden DOJ. The ringleader was white.
This is monstrous. He wants to turn the residents of the state against Walz and against the Somali-American population.
BREAKING

The Trump administration says it has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota in the aftermath of allegations of fraud by some in the Somali community.

Important: allegations along these lines have existed for years, which has resulted in prosecutions starting with the Biden DOJ.

This wasn't even one of the daycares featured. People are targeting Somali owned daycares to terrorize our neighbors. The burglar here stole employee files and personal data.

“Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth said Monday that her caucus steered YouTube creator Nick Shirley to day care sites in Minnesota.”

I feel like it should be a bigger part of the story that this was coordinated with MN GOP leaders, and spread and boosted on Elon’s X
"What I think is lacking is, was there even an attempt made to try to verify the accuracy of what he was saying, or did they simply take him at his word?" says University of Minnesota media law professor Jane Kirtley about a recent video made accusing Somali-owned day care centers of fraud.
Here’s what to know about a viral YouTube video about fraud in Minnesota
University of Minnesota media law professor Jane Kirtley says the new viral video is flashy, but absent of facts to back up its claims — and its lack of transparency could be considered deceptive.

As a Minnesotan, I think this UMN prof should be fired for showing his ass on main
I regret to inform you there’s a new post telling us we’re rubes who’ve missed the obvious & clear meaning of the Const’n for a century.

This is the type of post you make when your goal is to juice engagement from those who want nothing more than to be told their policy goals are const’l commands.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Evie is great! I use it as a backup to my backup, so I’m not a heavy user. But when it’s come in clutch it has come in CLUTCH.

If you haven’t tried it, give it a shot!

The commitment over decades of this local non profit to HourCar and now the Evie flavor of car sharing is admirable.
Despite sudden loss of a major federal grant, nonprofit HourCar’s Evie Spot Network of electric vehicles/charging stations is expanding to low-income apartments, and pitching itself to more destinations, like hospitals and U of M parking meters. You game? www.twincities.com/2025/12/28/e...
Evie electric carshare seeks to expand, despite loss of federal grant
HourCar announced this month that it installed an electric-vehicle charging hub at an affordable-housing development on the East Side.
