Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech: “How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

At long last, a complete model of the mayoral results from the 2025 Minneapolis DFL Precinct Caucus!

At this rate I am getting to a point where I will think every Democratic member of Congress should retire or be primaried.

Nonprofit wrote this article, how about a proposal on how to curb the massive cost increases? How about that CEO takes a pay cut?

If it sounds like I'm fed up, its because I am. The Mayor shuts down any duly elected Council Member when they don’t serve his interests no questions asked. I know because I'm one of them. It's an injustice to the thousands of residents who elected us and are also his constituents.

They are absolutely sleepwalking into a Tea Party 2. Most Democrats even agree with people like AOC, Bernie. Not good for incumbents to just piss off your base.

The glorious 1964 Illinois House of Representatives election. The state failed to redistrict so they elected everyone at large. How they did it led to the monstrous vote totals. Here is a sample ballot of it I got from my grandma that I uploaded to Wikipedia.

Saint Paul MN historic wards and which Census year they peaked in population. Yep, the 2020 numbers are accurate within a city block. Ward 8 has the * because it included Ward 12 before 1910. The downtown wards once had ~25k total living there.

Federal interstate plans for Matowa Minnesota. Every freeway planned was built, and then some. The results were catastrophic, as the city dropped from a high of 1.4 million in 1960 to just 607k in 2010.

The 1964 Minnesota State House election. While LBJ won 64% statewide, the DFL netted 0 seats. Their gains in cities and Central MN were stripped by losses in rural S MN and in Duluth. Added, a flip in 30E was overturned due to the candidate's fake news about the incumbent.

The final piece of advice I would like to give to new folks tonight is that Bluesky will be what you make of it. When I came over from the former Twitter, I resolved to be more kind to others here than I was over there. That choice has made being here so much better. Keep it in mind for yourself.

For all you Kaiserreich fans out there, enjoy this portrait of the famous President of China, Chen Jiongming (1930-1948) of the Public Interest Party.

1918 Minneapolis Mayoral race. The incumbent Socialist mayor lost reelection but helped create a progressive coalition that Hubert Humphrey would later win with. Van Lear would help found the Farmer Labor Party which reshaped Minnesota.

Reposting here, this is the 1962 Minnesota legislative elections. There were nonpartisan ballots but it was a two horse race. The DFL won the governor's race with a tiny margin, but flopped in the malapportioned legislature. It was redistricted barely after 55 years in 1959 for 1962.
