In today's Flyover news roundup... racketmn.com/melanin-defi...

Experience the thrill of supporting a local news org with no grants, no rich owners, nobody to answer to.

The south Minneapolis nonprofit processed almost 100 tons of e-waste last year. racketmn.com/free-geek-tw...

I finally listened to Davis Moturi's harrowing account of racist harassment and attempted murder by a neighbor. It's unbelievable that no one has been held accountable for the awful treatment he received by the police department, Chief O'Hara, and Mayor Frey. Please listen.

Thanks to @helloeveryth.ing who reposted this and reminded me to finally pay for some quality local journalism.

10 great new local songs, 10 great songs from everywhere else, and 1 rotting mound of garbage. racketmn.com/love-songs-p...

Sorry to work blue, but this had to be addressed.

don’t worry, I did not get hurt in a pit when working on this story

Support MN's only writer-owned, reader-funded, alt-weekly-style media org AND maybe win stuff? Seems like a no-brainer.

Many of the dingiest neighborhood watering holes in the Twin Cities call St. Paul home, and a good chunk of those also sport those block-shaped glass windows. So let's rank 'em!

“Three days of heavy, loud, abrasive music in your face in an indoor setting can be a lot—even for me, and I like all this stuff,” reports one Caterwaul co-founder.

Movie listings, plus a review of some new movie called 'Mission: Impossible'

This story isn’t about the current DEI panic. It’s about the enormous financial pledges Minnesota companies made in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, and whether or not they’ve followed through as the sociopolitical culture around diversity has reversed course.

A substitute band teacher turned an old boxing gym into the heaviest new venue in Northeast. racketmn.com/flying-v-is-...

Fast as hell and wickedly funny and a little stupid—that’s the Citric Dummies ethos.

It’s almost impossible to fathom the words that came from corporate America’s C-suites and boardrooms from Q2 through Q4 2020.

How did a boxing gym owned by a substitute band teacher become the hottest hardcore club in town?

citric dummies are one of my most favorite local bands and if you're also a big dumb idiot i think you'll really enjoy this q+a! go see them at the entry on thursday!

The corporate climate around racial equity these days? Profoundly different.
