Potholes and Plowing, Local Protest Songs, and Don't Mess with Rep. Omar

Listen Later

Every movement needs some music. The Twin Cities United Performers put out a call for protest music and got an overwhelming response. Organizers Nadi of Gully Boys and Dante of  Space Monkey Mafia and Runaway Ricochet talk about how musicians are meeting the moment. Plus, we’ve heard your complaints about St. Paul’s plowing. We bring on Sean Kershaw, director of Public Works for the city, who says it’s not an engineering problem, but a money problem. Finally, ICE caused an international incident in northeast Minneapolis, and Rep. Ilhan Omar stands up for herself.
