Left my car running unattended at Mall of America. The trunk was completely full of $100 bills. I left my wallet, wedding ring and iPad on the dash. When I returned it was gone.
I thought
@mallofamerica
security would keep an eye on it.
The mall is not safe.
Real talk,
Don't carry more cash than you are willing to have stolen by the police.
Operation Endeavor is essentially a stop and frisk strategy. The police can confiscate any cash you are carrying. You don't need to be arrested or charged with a crime to have your cash taken
I have been thoroughly cleaned with a wet towel. I understand this was well intended. I also understand this was a consequence of my own frolic in some soup (no regrets)
A Texas family wishes they never came to Minnesota after a car thief made off with their valuable possessions during a vacation visit to the Mall of America.

Breaking:
@MayorFrey
just released an innovative plan for snow removal this winter.
Unoccupied snow plows will be parking idling around the city with flashing lights going to scare away the snow.
Good morning friends. I have it on good authority that the National Guard is on standby in preparation for tomorrow's release of the video of the murder of Tyre Nichols in Memphis.
It's going to be cold here so I suspect the likelihood of unrest here is unlikely but be aware.
Good news for the morning. Mike Rainville (
@MplsWard3
) closed the stone arch bridge to stop teen firework battles. The teens ended up having the battle in front of Mike's home.
The kids are alright.
NEW: Governor Walz signed HB-17584 into law today, increasing consequences for vehicles parking in bike lanes.
Cars parked in bike lanes will:
- Have higher fines (up by 17%)
- Be subject to a boot or towing after 15 mins
- Have all damage and vandalism claims voided
Iโm having a somatic response to the idea that Minneapolis powers that be would create and deploy *rubble* to prevent Indigenous and oppressed people from residing in their city.
Rubble created to displace Indigenous people. Where else have I seen that?
Couldn't find parking close enough to the Taste of Minnesota
I want to give the small businesses my money. Instead, I had to drive home and eat carrots that were in my refrigerator for lunch. I'm not walking three blocks for a taco.
Periodic reminder:
Now that Minneapolis has a "strong mayor" system
@MayorFrey
is 100% responsible for city operations. This includes snow removal. If streets are icy or snow covered its Jacob's fault alone.
A cardboard art project on a sled should not even rise to any level of concern for the police chief.
This is evidence that
@_BrianOHara
is unable to define priorities and lead the department.
Chief O'Hara to PD: "burning of the 3rd Precinct stationhouse set off a signal of lawlessness that resulted in the highest levels of violence to our most vulnerable residents" "never in my life experienced such levels of patronization and racial arrogance"
Lol, these dumbshits. What's keeping people from riding transit isn't an the lack of an ad campaign. It's not having frequent and reliable service available to get people to and from where they want and need to go at the times they need.
This morning I felt like my blood sugar was getting a little low. I accidentally are 3 packages of Jimmies before I realized it wasn't normal candy.
RIP me.
You may have notice these new license plates with white text on a black background.
Be careful around cars with these. They are issued to drivers with 5 or more DUI convictions.
My father is a builder. It is difficult to get his attention in a magnificent space because he is lost in wonder. We were in a cathedral together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer

Remember when
@BestBuy
had the city force out 83 property owners of homes and businesses to build this place using eminent domain?
Now they don't want to pay their taxes.
Not ignoring the cries for help of the specific elderly person the police were sent to check on is "above the call of duty" according to the Star Tribune.
Think about that for a moment.
Reminder that the license plates with white lettering on a black background are for habitual drunk drivers.
They don't issue these plates until your 3rd DUI.
Do better, Tim. Driving drunk is dangerous for everyone.
Friendly reminder to get your oil changed, Minnesota. ย

And while Iโve got your attention: Donโt forget to file your taxes to claim the Child Tax Credit and get up to $1,750 per child.
Why didn't the Minneapolis City Council consider their most important constituents, Abby Schiller of Richfield and her family in Roseville and Prior Lake, when writing the ordinance?
I have a simple rule. If you own a business and give an interview to Alpha News I will not be your customer.
Chicago's Taste Authority is now on my do not eat list.
A Minneapolis restaurant owner is speaking out after becoming the victim of a crime.ย He told Alpha News his profits are down 40% from where they were pre-COVID and the George Floyd riots.
One year ago today Minneapolis Police Officer Mark Hanneman murderd Amir Locke.
Amir was not even accused of a crime.
They came in pre-dawn and gunned him down in his sleep at the request of
@sppdmn
@MayorFrey
and
@MayorCarter
are responsible for the murder of an innocent man.
Nicollet Diner co owner Sam Turner said on Fox Business they moved to the new location because of crime. Why would the open Mother Cluckers at the location they needed to flee from.
Notice the line of rental minivans on 6th in the secured area at the Government Center. These are generally used as jump out cars or to quickly transport riot cops. This tactic was used extensively during the RNC.
A man arrested by the MPD for "obstruct legal process with force" has been released and the case is now dismissed. A bystander captured the incident on video.
I am not afraid to say it: There are not enough transit officers by any means. Riders are on our own, and we are up against dangerous people on a regular basis.
Yesโ I said dangerous. The light rail has many dangerous riders.
Of course not all, but far far beyond too many.

Some Buffaloans got upset with me for saying I avoid Buffalo, MN as much as possible.
Donโt get mad. Find a solution so itโs safe to bring my daughter there again.
Remote work risks wiping $800 billion from the value of office buildings in major cities worldwide by 2030 as the post-pandemic trend pushes up office vacancy rates and drives down rents, according to a new report
@RootHoward
this is embarrassing.
You're a multi millionaire. You can just move. You don't need to write an article about how the crime in a city you don't live drove you away.
Just a friendly reminder.
Matt's Bar at 35th and Cedar is pro military occupation of our fair city. I'd suggest you look elsewhere to get your greasy burgers.
I still can't get past how the Minneapolis Police killed a close family member of the key witness in Derek Chauvin's conviction.
I really feel that it didn't get enough attention.
I think about Darnella Frazier often. The weigh she has to carry from recording that video. The Minneapolis Police killing her uncle a year later.
I can't imagine how difficult it's been for her.
Almost the entire Minnesota House voted to specifically allow police to strangle children at school.
My rep, Frank Hornstein, isn't running again so I won't be able to vote against him.
MN House passes SRO fix bill by a tally of 124 to 8. All of the red votes were from Democrats who weren't on board with a bill spelling out that SROs may continue to use prone restraints in school settings.
