New crossing bells frustrating homeowners closest to Southwest Light Rail tracks
Light rail trains are at least a year away from beginning service on the Green Line Extension, but some of those who live closest to the new line are already feeling and hearing a significant impact.

I think HRC is a very smart woman who is bad at politics. I think Obama and Biden have a near fatal naïveté about politics. I think Clinton loved centrist bullshit too much and was obviously morally compromised. These people aren’t fucking Gods. They’re politicians.

Just horrific. These are crimes.
And let’s be clear — this is by design. They’ve been forthright about that. The aim is to make it migrants suffer so much that they give up their due process rights and leave voluntarily.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

This is what oligarchy looks like:
If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break.
If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry.
Obscene.

Using fencing to curb homelessness in the Twin Cities is an insult - MinnPost
Agencies and governments turn to fencing instead of actual solutions for problems related to people experiencing homelessness.

Gentrification is what we call it when demand exceeds supply. It is not caused by bike lanes.
The answer is not to suppress demand by enshittifying cities, or to justify endangering & killing people outside of cars as a rent control mechanism, but to increase supply.
