Interim police chief says he moved his family out of Minneapolis after 25 years to get his children into the Wayzata school district. I hope the replies to this post can combine our love for ugly police politics with our love for ugly school politics.

ICE vs ice at 44th and Hiawatha earlier today.

Mayor Frey finds his third term sweet spot: "We can't be messing with Cuba, bathhouses, and drug paraphernalia!"

Josh Martin is live at Warehouse District Live. He filed this report: "The last time a city funded event failed this hard there were like five Star Tribune stories, a department head got fired, and there was an investigation by the City Auditor’s Office." Oh! Ohh! Oh my!

Yesterday evening, members of the public entered the Cedar Lake encroachment zone, starting from south beach. Our leader was 80 yr old Jake, who's watched too many park board meetings for his own good. He let us know how many feet of public land was available in each "backyard."

Cornhole concerns at the zoning committee: "The cornhole game leads to a continuous thunking noise as the beanbag hits the target. When one goes in the hole there's a loud cry of success."

First time riding the E Line to the Dinkytown end of the route today. Such a great transit experience. Even if you're not a transit person, give it a try. 25 minutes from Uptown to Dinkytown. Buses come so frequently that you don't have to check a schedule.

WCCO cuts away from a story too early, catching reporter Jonah Kaplan eating his glove.

This is a nice county project for Lake St in Uptown (even if it stops a block short of connecting to the city's new bike route on Hennepin), but it makes me wonder why we have to wait a decade or more for the city to bring curb protection to 26th and 28th streets.

The city telling a homeless camp that sleeping outside in the winter isn't safe, right before depriving them of the shelter they've made for themselves, is a real "stop hitting yourself" moment.

VETAW: "I JUST WANTED TO SAY THEIR NAMES" "Haven, Maximillian, Buster, Blue, Trooper, Teak, Goliath, Rooster and Cabo." Are the names of some of our police horses who just got defunded. "These animals are therapy animals for this community."

Nurse: "I feel like in Minneapolis I'm a sitting duck. I don't feel safe at home. I don't feel safe at work. Kids aren't safe at school. I was born in Minneapolis and I'm scared out of my mind because I'm not white."

Lisa Goodman, on the "All of Mpls" (Frey PAC) call: "I'm holding checks from a lot of people who contributed to this multi-candidate expenditure" in W7 to support DFL endorsed candidate Shaffer. Those checks will be withheld unless Fateh's DFL endorsement for mayor is overturned.

Council Member Chughtai: 118 officers received somewhere between $8,000 and $20,000 worth of standby pay in one month alone, just to be ready to work, not for actual work done. "I can't think of a better word than insane."

Minneapolis woman has her home torn up after federal agents serve search warrant on the wrong address.

The federal occupation of Minneapolis has radicalized Lowry Hill man, and a former moderate candidate for mayor, Clint Conner, who is calling for Mayor Frey to come up with a plan to use MPD to arrest "ICE criminals."

Rep. Ilhan Omar took an especially hands on approach to counting bodies during the walking subcaucus process at the SD61 DFL convention today. Delegates picked today will move on to the CD5 convention where Omar is seeking the party endorsement.

Minneapolis Council Member Aurin Chowdhury: "Today as a council member, as a daughter of immigrants, I have a whistle around my neck and in my coat pocket I have my passport. That is not the regular moment of peace time."

KARE 11's Ian Russell grows a mustache on television.

Council Member Pearll Warren speaks against resolution calling for defunding immigration enforcement. Says we need defense against immigrants from "the land of one-eyed people eaters, &amp; they had three hairs on top of their head — if they're doing something crazy that's not okay."

People on Lake Street discovering Bruce Springsteen ("I thought that sounded like him") wrote us a song as a man waving a Minnesota flag plays it from a speaker on his bike.

Minnesota delegation making a scene on MSNBC. That's Mayor Carter and Jamie Long in the background.

Nov 19, 5:24 pm — The lure of the unmarked, unpainted bus lane is so strong, some would rather get stuck behind a stopped bus than use the free flowing left lane.

Frey: "I trust the chief. I'm not in a position, nor by the way are any council members, in the position to start dictating precisely how this is carried out." "There's gotta be a whole lot less politics right now, and a whole lot more care."

🚨 New episode of the Wedge LIVE podcast: a bike ride conversation with Sen. Omar Fateh, candidate for mayor of Minneapolis. Watch on youtube or wherever you get podcasts.

In the good old days, the Minneapolis mayor would say things like "we don't have enough police staffing to handle x crime." Now he says, we don't have enough local police to handle lawless, rampaging federal police.

Instant classic: Andrea Jenkins in pursuit of Chief O'Hara, fleeing on foot.

Council Member Pearll Warren speaks against resolution calling for defunding immigration enforcement. Says we need defense against immigrants from "the land of one-eyed people eaters, & they had three hairs on top of their head — if they're doing something crazy that's not okay."
