Minneapolis Public Schools officials confirmed on Friday that they are working through an enrollment backlog of 700 students — just as the district has unveiled a plan to close up to 16 schools.

"china is charging their cars in less time than it takes you to fill up your F-150" is the kind of banal jingoism i always assumed would get us finally kicking it up a notch on serious infrastructure buildout but we were a lot more directly addicted to gasoline in addition to racism than i thought

If folks in the Democratic party cannot find it within themselves to be absolute staunch supporters of trans people's rights because trans people are people who have inherent worth, then they should at least do it because if we give up on trans people, then we're literally giving up on democracy.

Even being charitable to Frey, I can't come up with what series of events is supposed to have instigated his escalation against council (restricting staff from discussion/q&a). So I'm stuck with uncharitable: he doesn't want MPD leaders facing public discussion of overspending.

Since it’s no longer just “the lefties” taking issue with Frey’s approach to governance, but the *entire* City Council… maybe, just maybe, Frey is the one with the problem? www.startribune.com/mpd-budget-o...
For a change, everybody in the Minneapolis City Council chambers seemed to agree.

The often-divided council was united last week in its disappointment that Mayor Jacob Frey’s office would not allow police representatives to attend the meeting to answer their questions about budget overspending, sending written responses instead.

Even council members normally aligned with Frey were upset.

“Everything is 40% more expensive because of AI” is a great line for an opposition party trying to unseat the AI-supported incumbents, if any Democratic consultants wanted to take a short break from dehumanizing trans kids to actually try winning a contested election.

thank you jamal osman, aurin chowdhury, jason chavez and robin wonsley for "workers drive minneapolis"! waymo is a labor issue, and we cannot allow for gains won by east african drivers who organized with MULDA to be erased. we must protect our workers and stand up against big tech taking their jobs
Osman represents Ward 6, which has a large East African community with many ride-share drivers. He has said Waymo would put thousands of people out of work, particularly immigrants and people of color.

A 2024 state study found there are more than 10,000 rideshare drivers in Minnesota, mostly in the Twin Cities and most of them low-income, male immigrants and predominantly Black or African Americans.

Minnesota Uber/Lyft Drivers Association President Eid Ali has said his group — which spent years organizing Uber and Lyft drivers and advocating for minimum wages and labor protections — is not opposed to progress, but wants it to be responsible, transparent and fair to workers who helped build the transportation industry.

Realizing the extent to which this is true wildly changed my opinions about how to deal with Trumpism, since they're never going to be satisfied unless they're actively dominating everyone else. You can't give them some concessions and go back to the status quo: they're reactionary revolutionaries.

Nah, the amount of money that Americans voluntarily spend on cars is just a cultural problem. In every market in the US, you can buy a <15 year-old Corolla that that will run for decades for <$10,000. The solution is more people saying "buying new luxury cars is stupid," not subsidized car loans.

this is very simple and applies to them all
At the same time, Cunningham is a backup who is probably past the midway point of her career, and it makes total sense for her to be thinking about what comes next. There are plenty of after-basketball paths Sophie Cunningham could explore that do not involve further emboldening vile bigots obsessed with driving trans people from public life. But none of those paths are as easy or as lucrative as this one. That's why she's taking it.

Kansas City doesn't know how much the new Royals stadium will cost them or how how they will pay for it, but they approved it anyway. The shameful and irresponsible deal was rushed through in an undemocratic process for one reason: to avoid more democracy.
thinkoutsidetheball.substack.com
Kansas City showed complete contempt for democracy in approving the Royals’ new stadium
Kansas City, and notably its most prominent Democrats, ran an end around on democracy so it could execute a wealth transfer to billionaires. That sounds awfully Republican of them.

WNBA players union leadership released a statement, I suggest everyone read it. This is the message of united union leaders: hate will not be tolerated and trans inclusion IS protecting women’s rights to play sports This is excellently crafted. Proud of Nneka, Phee and the rest of WNBPA leaders
 MESSAGE FROM
WNBPA PLAYER LEADERSHIP
To everyone who loves this game: The WNBPA represents 200+ individual people with different lived experiences, cultures, lifestyles, and opinions.
We embrace justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
Those are the values that unite this Union and allow it to protect women's sports while creating transformational change.
Hate, abuse, and demonization of any person or group of people, including transgender people, only fuel fear, division, and harm. We will continue to have hard conversations. But we will not be used as political pawns.
Support the Players. Support the Fans. At games, notify security if you witness hateful, violent, or abusive behavior. Online, report abusive posts and drown out the bots and bad actors. At home, tell your elected officials to strengthen Title IX.
