I volunteer at a food shelf each week. Demand is overwhelming, and most clients are employed or elderly. The problem is wealthy people’s greed, not the crumbs we give to people in need.

Disney World has unveiled a new ride: Authoritarian Avalanche. You ride down the side of a cliff in the shell of a burned out Tesla, straight into the Measles Pit, where guests have a chance to come home with an actual case of measles.

Look at this graph.
The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.
This is why we must build back union power.

I’m no fan of our mayor, Jacob Frey, but he had it right about the Annunciation church school shooting today: “Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying.”

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day.
Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day.
It's not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Not sure I’ve ever seen 2 counterpoints to what was originally a counterpoint to a op-ed. (If you’re tracking it’s 3 anti-Fateh pieces to one sorta-pro.) And to not ID Jacob Hill as executive director of a pro-Frey All of Mpls PAC continues bio malpractice at Strib Opinion.
Strib run multiple Frey guy op-eds on the same day challenge…difficulty level EASY

Political assassinations make peaceful protest all the more necessary. Big props to Minnesota AG Keith Ellison for speaking at the rally, even though he was reportedly on the murderer’s hit list.
