Damn, it feels good to be a Wild fan,

I know we don’t cover much professional sports around these parts unless an arena is renamed or some gophers are going pro, but it’s nice to see my boys dressed like Christmas trees doing well. I won’t bore you with too much hockey talk, but Matt Boldy is a madman right now and deserves your attention.

Maybe you should scroll down and read up on the professional aspirations of Gopher athletes. Or, read about something else. The newsletter is your oyster. Also, fill out this poll.

Take it easy,

Minneapolis residents weigh in on new ordinance increasing civil rights

by Maya Bell | Published April 24, 2025

Minneapolis City Council members showed unanimous support for an effort to add height, weight, housing status and past criminal convictions to the city’s Civil Rights Ordinance. 

Minneapolis residents gave testimonies Wednesday in support of amending the Minneapolis Civil Rights Ordinance before a Minneapolis City Council committee meeting that ended with unanimous approval and a push to schedule the issue for a full city council vote next Thursday.

Kaela McConnon Diarra, the deputy director of the Civil Rights Department, said the amendment would give greater protections to people in education, employment and housing. 

If approved, the ordinance would allow residents who feel discriminated against in education or employment to file a complaint with the Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights, McConnon Diarra said. 

The ordinance would ban discrimination against people with prior criminal records in jobs if the conviction is unrelated to the job.
