Radical centrists will talk all day long about (disputably!) high teacher pay bankrupting MPS but will never talk about giant MPD raises bankrupting Mpls …

A rushed and reckless plan to close 17 schools is the last thing our district needs right now. Our children are our everything, and they deserve a district that takes its time, engages with families, and builds a plan actually rooted in the needs of our community: not this.

Tonight MPS announced their "Transformation Plan" which will close schools and move school boundaries, uprooting thousands of students. The *students* will suffer, lose friends, lose connections. Kids were just shuffled around during the CDD, just 6 years ago.

Tonight’s presentation of the MPS Transformation Plan made one thing clear: we cannot move forward with these options. Rushing to close at least a dozen schools is irresponsible.

There is a parent (robot?) advocating for more tech based homework for elementary school students and they're getting eaten alive in the comments section. Parents/caregivers of 5-11 year olds overwhelmingly don't want mandatory screen time homework for their kids... This should be obvious

It genuinely blows my mind the degree to which people in power do not grasp (or just refuse to acknowledge) that encampments are preferable to shelters for a whole lot of people, for a long list of reasons.

The way the news media escalates the shooting of police officers over any other kind of people is really revolting. They do not have a higher status. They signed up for the job.

Fraud is so awesome in this country I can understand why everyone does it. You can make a billion dollars doing fraud and then a court will be like "Hang on there pal...pay a $100M fine but DON'T do it again"

Former school secretary here, asking my fellow parents/caregivers to stop calling the school office with every tiny little question you have. Yes, we all want to know who our kid's teacher is, but it's not an emergency. Poke around on the school portal for 5 minutes and you can figure it out!

Today at the fair I asked a volunteer at Amy Klobuchar's booth what Amy thinks about ICE and she stumbled through a non-answer before saying "I just don't want to tell you the wrong thing." IDK y'all I think not having any kind of platform is kinda bad! Her lawn signs don't even say she's a DFL'r!

Asked why the WNBA continues to experience these heightened distractions, Cloud said, "Men."
"The men now that are like 'Oh, we need to protect the WNBA,’ y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't be paid," Cloud continued. "Y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't have been invested in, saying we're a joke, the same ones that don't respect Black women. So, if you're going to protect women, that means all women. That includes Black women, trans women and the list goes on."

Many kids do not want to have a conversation with a stranger or acquaintance. Stop insisting on small talk with my kid/student, they aren't interested. Don't take it personally, it's good for kids to have boundaries.

You love to see it. Flanagan with 334k votes and Craig with 225k 🎉 I've been refreshing this page for an hour, and it's been a consistent difference of about 10,000 votes. I happily cackled to myself and my sleeping dog when I saw this. Congrats, @peggyflanagan.bsky.social

Senate primary here in MN tomorrow. Peggy Flanagan wants to dismantle ICE. Angie Craig supported a resolution thanking ICE for their service. Wants to reform ICE. Voted yes on Laken Riley Act, then said whoops. Given what’s happened here in 2026, it’s not all that complicated a choice.

Sometimes I just sit around stewing about how ride or die so many Minnesotans have been, how they showed up through sacrifice big and small. They made the bad guys push through them at every step. Gave up nothing for free. And the best governor we’re being offered is Klob. It’s embarrassing.

Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...

cops, shotspotter, drones, none of these prevent crimes. but u know who who has the ability to prevent more mass shootings at Reign? Mayor Jacob Frey. multiple mass shootings have happened at this location. he can shut this “business” down, therefore preventing more shootings in the neighborhood.

Where can I find MN Lynx gear? Went to the Lake Street Target, (got a gift card, don't @ me) they've got Twins, Vikings, Timberwolves & Wild shirts and gear but no Lynx anything. It's not even the Wolves, Vikings and Wild's season. The Lynx are the best MN team, this is so blatantly sexist.

MNDOT and other groups should absolutely encourage less driving, but asking people to bike, walk or take transit *specifically* on days when the air is filthy, is ridiculous. Encourage bus use on good air days by building out rapid buses & light rail all over and make driving less convenient.

My sister in Milwaukee sent me this picture from the Haon Bridge this morning. The other picture is taken just after passing the yellow suspension beams. You should be able to see the skyline and the lake from here. AQI in Milwaukee is over 600 right now 😷😔
A view of the yellow suspension bridge in Milwaukee, WI from the seat of a car. You can see the yellow beams and a few cars, but the city skyline is completely obscured by wildfire smoke. A view of the Milwaukee skyline from a car on the Hoan Bridge. There are many buildings and  freeway signs. You can see Lake Michigan off to the right and the Mke Art Museum with it's famous Brise Soleil wings. The sky is blue with many white clouds.
