Glad to see "Rogue One" so high on the list. I always want to see "Solo" get more love on these though.
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

"nearly 1 in 5 voters chose the same approach: they ranked Mayor Jacob Frey. And no one else." - these are the exact voters that will never own any of the problems and challenges we are currently facing under Frey. They will blame the city council or activists or Trump even

Someone on the Minneapolis subreddit caught Waymos being delivered. We need the City Council need to ban the use of driverless cars. The technology isn't there. Our city cannot be a testing ground for 1.5 ton autonomous projectiles.

Just now on MSNBC: a great segment by @chrislhayes.bsky.social on the Bucks County sheriff candidate who ran against ICE’s 287g program.
Very proud our attention to how local elections matter to ICE policy at @boltsmag.org is helping put these local stakes in the national discourse. They matter.

Ward 4 gave us decades of Barb Johnson. It's almost like asking why Ward 13 does what it does. Ward 5 also tough — needed more resources and attention this year. Progressives were fortunate to have Ellison and Cunningham take these seats in 2017.
Someone explain why Ward 4 & 5 reject Fateh
This wasn't a vanity project for Omar the way it is for Frey. Frey's approach to governing is self-serving and hostile to anyone who doesn’t have power. That was the main difference in this election: who each side was fighting for. And again, big money and entrenched power won.
