Given Sutcliffe's 2.5% tax cap and the City's existing $10.8 billion infrastructure funding deficit for its aging facilities, hard to see how new park spaces can be accommodated at the same time. Average age for City's arenas, pools, community centers is over 40 years(!).

It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.
The mayor’s office says that it does not pay the influencers. Still, their proximity and access to a figure as popular as Mr. Mamdani can help increase their own social media following and, by extension, potentially put them in a position to attract paid content sponsorships from commercial brands. Some influencers said that when they feature Mr. Mamdani, the videos get more likes and viewers watch longer.

On July 11, 1990, the Kanehsatà:ke Resistance (Oka Crisis) began. Sparked by a proposed golf course expansion onto a Kanyen'kehà:ka burial ground, the protest lasted for 78 days and changed Canadian history. This is what happened. 📸 Robert Galbraith 🧵 1/16
The photo shows a large group of people, including adults and children, gathered outdoors near a body of water with trees and a cloudy sky in the background. Many individuals are wearing camouflage clothing, and some are raising their arms or holding flags, including a red flag with a yellow sun symbol and a blue flag with white markings. The group appears to be posing for the photo, with some people standing and others kneeling or sitting on the ground. There are also a few people on ladders, adding to the sense of a communal or celebratory gathering. The scene has a natural setting with grass, logs, and a wooden lattice structure visible.

Sources identify man shot as Alex Jeffrey Pretti of south Minneapolis
The man fatally shot by federal officers in Minneapolis this morning has been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, according to sources familiar with the investigation. 

Pretti, 37, has an address listed in south Minneapolis.

At a news conference, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the man who was shot was a 37-year-old white man with no serious criminal history and a record that showed some parking tickets. Law enforcement sources said Saturday their records show Pretti had no serious criminal history.

O'Hara said the man was a “lawful gun owner” with a permit. Records show that Pretti attended the University of Minnesota. State records show Pretti was issued a nursing license in 2021, and it remains active through March 2026.
