I was told not to tweet this until the houses adjourned for fear of jinxing it, but the Minnesota legislature just completed what is probably the most productive session anywhere in the country since probably the New Deal. Sweeping bills and reforms across every area of life.— Will Stancil (@whstancil) May 23, 2023

    There's currently a serious conflict brewing in Minneapolis over re-building the 3rd precinct. No one who lives in the 3rd precinct wants another cop station built to replace the one that was destroyed during the uprising, but the city is trying to force it through because Monopoly on Violence. I don't live there anymore so I have no idea how things are shaping up, but it's noisy enough to show up on facebook every once in a while. Hopefully people will hold the line and keep the cops out. A referendum to disband the police department and replace it with something else came within six points of passing a few years ago, people do not like the Minneapolis PD.
