@barnesandnoble.com at Har Mar has their gate locked to the rest of the mall. Such a strange place.
I hadn't been here in a few years but back when I lived in roseville they didn't do this. Very irritating to try going to the store from the mall side but realize they lock it.

I hope you're not implying that Mayor Frey faked a street reopening for politics a few days before an election.
I drove down Hennepin around 1130am. Many blocks are still closed. Detours signs still up. The fussy engineer in me says "there are a few things left to do". LOL

there’s quite literally no purpose in continuing to pay taxes if they’re going to weaponize them against a majority of people paying them like this
NEW: White House announces it's going to pause, and potentially cancel, $11 billion in infrastructure funding (via the Army Corps of Engineers), specifically citing cities, like New York, represented or led by Democrats. More to come.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Looking like voters may have to defeat this charter amendment whenever it arrives on our ballots. I'm waiting for someone to point to specific examples of a confirmation process that went off the rails because too much scrutiny was applied. Most confirmations are quiet and non-controversial.

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him
Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

@iamvirgo.bsky.social is going after the Minneapolis dfl in retribution for being called out for corruption. You clearly don't care if you destroy this party. You just want to punish Minneapolis for going against frey and for pointing out your major conflicts of interest.
