It took 7+ years of coordinated, multi-collation organizing to set the conditions that resulted in the election of Mamdani. Mpls is gonna have to get on the good foot if we’re ever going to rid ourselves of Jacob Frey.

Little stomping, screaming monsters moved in next door in my side-by-side duplex. Am I allowed to hobble a toddler?

I started renting in Minneapolis over 30 years ago. You know what hasn’t changed? The blatant anti-Black racism. Apartment availability mysteriously disappears the moment I show up for the viewing 80% of the time.

Is nobody training canvassers these days? If I say no thank you, the response should be, “sorry to bother you” and leave. What you don’t do is try to debate and convince me that I really do want to talk. If I could legally electrify my doorbell and install a tiger pit under my front step, I would.

Minnesota’s arts orgs are losing funding for refusing to comply with a federal effort to resegregate the country. Billion-dollar foundations like McKnight, Bush, & MAC must step up. Your endowments will be worthless in a fascist state. Fund the resistance. Fund the arts. Now.
“Freedom of expression is the cornerstone of our organization, and we cannot accept federal funding or any funding that says we have to censor what our artists want to say,” said Nicole A. Watson, the producing artistic director at the Playwrights’ Center of Minneapolis.
