Lifelong Minneapolitan,

@MoonshineReaper @BrianMendler I think at younger ages this is good. As they reach the end of high school I think this can give too much leniency and train students to think there are little to no consequences for a quick escalation. That isn’t life outside of school and we do a disservice to pretend otherwise

Alleged “Family Mob” drug trafficking defendant in Minneapolis released from custody pending trial.

Update: This is actually worse.

This wasn’t MPD. This was Hennepin County’s system. My source initially indicated MPD.

So while MPD stood down after initially responding, Hennepin County explicitly told deputies not to respond at all.

Yikes.

Thank you to our law enforcement who are responding tonight to what appears to be unlawful activity by agitators in Minneapolis.

Breaking into hotels is not protest — there need to be arrests and a strong message sent that destruction won’t be tolerated.

Socialist Zohran Mamdani is heavily favored to win New York City Mayoral election tomorrow.

“We have to be unapologetic about our socialism.” he says.

But he should apologize! Socialism ALWAYS fails.

Watch this to see what Mamdani would do to my city:

Remember when "Scientific American" wrote that men and women would run equally fast, if it wasn't for biases in how they are treated in sports.

[Chris Thompson @cdjthompson]

@ehbforbet This is exactly the kind of word salad I don’t want running our BET. We need fiscal responsibility amidst a council and county that seems hell bent on taxing us into oblivion. No thanks.

[John K. Amanchukwu Sr. @REVWUTRUTH]

This race shouldn't be close.

Children. Jay Jones fantasized about killing children. And Abigail still stands with him.

Minnesota is worth fighting for — that's why I'm announcing today that I'm running for Governor.

@1MillionSuns904 @moleculemachine @MNUpNorthLakeG1 @WatchDogUMN Tell them all to vote out @robin4mpls any of the other candidates over her.

[Watch Dog UMN @WatchDogUMN]

Hey @UMNews President Cunningham- do you care? Acting like this isn’t happening to your students isn’t helpful, and it isn’t a sound legal strategy either. A “reasonable observer” would assume the President is aware of this crisis. So act.
You’ve been silent since you started.

[Watch Dog UMN @WatchDogUMN]

Personally, I’m tired of students at the states flagship institution being shot where they live, study, and gather.
But pop off.. I guess…

[Watch Dog UMN @WatchDogUMN]

@UMNews We’ve had at least one @UMNews student shot every year for the past four years in Dinkytown. I need President Cunningham and the Board of Regents to get together NOW and figure out a solution.
Every time this happens we call for action and it never comes.

[RevTimChristopher @RevTChristopher]

All I have to say is go take a trip on lake and 31st…hundreds of people standing under the over pass. Or walking the streets, he will turn Minneapolis into California.

[RevTimChristopher @RevTChristopher]

A man was shot and killed during a carjacking, in South Minneapolis now South Minneapolis was once the good part of town, before the police level went down, now we have a Mayor candidate who was fully committed to defunding the police. The socialist party wanted the department at Zero police.

🚨 BREAKING: A Somali non-profit continued receiving hundreds of thousands in taxpayer funds even after its Board Chairman was charged in 2023 for defrauding Medicaid of millions.

All made possible by the incompetence of Tim Walz’s administration.

[Chris Thompson @cdjthompson]

@ehbforbet The dsa doesn’t think police should exist. That alone should disqualify the seriousness of the rest of their positions.

[Chris Thompson @cdjthompson]

@ehbforbet You say that wanting a functional government can make you a radical. I disagree. One of the core functions of government is policing and public safety and to pretend that the DSA hasn’t actively campaigned against the police is being obtuse.

[Chris Thompson @cdjthompson]

@ehbforbet Thanks for the response. Already watched the video and no I’m not talking about city services but ideas that are terrible like defunding the police and starting city owned grocery stores.
