It seems a lot of people think they know Minneapolis now.
Our flaws. Our faults. I hope my neighbors join me in reclaiming the narrative.

Senator Alex Padilla is a good man and principled public servant. The brazen and aggressive manhandling of Senator Padilla by the Trump administration is a sickening disgrace. Anyone who assaulted the Senator should be held accountable. No one is above the law.

Our community is hurting today. I am heartbroken at the tragic killing of Michael Brasel, a beloved father, husband, neighbor, friend & youth hockey coach. As a community we must support his family through this deeply painful time. You can give/share here gofundme.com/f/help-support-…

This past weekend, #MNleg & @GovTimWalz agreed on the outline of a global deal. This is great news, and it means that our legislature will likely move to a conclusion by May 23 — and the extension of the state historic tax credit will be decided THIS WEEK. minnesotareformer.com/2022/0…

"Structural Tetris" & "tackling the unpleasant task" of pigeon poo are just a few of the challenges transforming the old jail, but we are working through whatever we come across. Thanks for keeping the community updated, Peter @duluthnews duluthnewstribune.com/busine…

The CBO warned of a $1.9 trillion INCREASE in the deficit over 10 years from the 2017 Trump tax plan. Every Republican voted for it. The #BBB REDUCES the deficit, creates jobs, grows GDP, invests in children, families and the environment, and is paid for. I will vote for it.

Suits, shaves, fly-fishing wallets, and so much more: @Heimies is a lifestyle, and it's one of SPDA president Joe Spencer's #StPLpicks. Take a peak inside and then maybe swing by to pick up your own set of special shoelaces. #StPL
