There was lots of Barbie testing in Mississippi in the early 40s.
Barbie vs Oppenheimer popularity in USA by state

Lots of Cedric Alexander energy by a strib reporter who should know better.

Nothing like watching Scott Graham trying to campaign without talking to anyone while someone sings God Bless the USA.

Martinez touting his endorsement from the Minneapolis police union. First city candidate in years to accept it. "Most candidates run from that." Speaking of MPD: "If you're toxic, I'm toxic." (I'm not sure how to interpret that, maybe an *all in this together* kind of way?)

Welcome to the war on cops?
Replying to @WedgeLIVE
Martinez: neighbors tell me I'm having a problem, I don't want to call the cops. He helps them. If you don't want to call the police, call Victor's campaign. (I'm not exaggerating that)

He wants low property taxes but also unlimited money for cops.
Replying to @WedgeLIVE
Martinez: I support all different public safety systems. You don't take from the police and give it to another. "Public Safety is an equal system." Citing Cedric Alexander, who said he wasn't getting what he needed to transform public safety.

Victor is the candidate from Wells Fargo.
Replying to @WedgeLIVE
Martinez: when we talk about affordable housing how many people think it's actually affordable? It's virtue signaling. Most development is one or two bedrooms. More renters than homeowners. Not affordable. I'm not a big fan of land trusts. No chance to build equity.

This is weird
Replying to @WedgeLIVE
Martinez, speaking of step up program, wants kids working in for profit businesses, not in non profits.

That dang Kmart will soon be demolished, and the City of Minneapolis now has an opportunity to reconnect Nicollet Avenue to keep the new street closed to cars and prioritizes comfortable walking, biking, rolling, transit and greenspace. Project survey: minneapolismn.gov/news/2023/…

Sorry if this is kink-shaming but why do people say they will buy stuff on Facebook and then never show up?

Still can't believe they hired DCI Gates. He was always going to be corrupt and terrible.
Replying to @WedgeLIVE
Community Safety Commissioner: Comprehensive model of public safety is critically important to future efforts. We must plan for facilities that house city personnel, mental health and social service professionals as well as jurisdictional and external community partners.

A silent majority, if you will.
Replying to @WedgeLIVE
Palmisano: We heard from those that are organized and passionate, but we also heard from quieter voices whose views are just as important but not as easily heard. "more time is needed to make a fully considered decision." Decision must be driven by mayor and council together.

Have you seen the laws southern states have passed lately? Are these nice people?
