“Not only is Frey unable to find funds to fill a hole amounting to less than 1% of the city’s $2 billion budget, he proposes cutting 100 emergency housing vouchers at the same time, pitting two vital programs against each other.”

No one is "instructing" anyone to do anything. (Minneapolis voters have strong opinions and do not react well to being "instructed".)

Voters can think for themselves. They can also take in information from a variety of sources, including politicians and candidates, in order to make their decision.

"all three other people in the race-who vary in their ideologies- have all agreed that i am a bad mayor. this is why you should support me"

The budget also impacts renters, Bob.

funny how elizabeth shaffer made all her ads with sheriff dawanna witt in her uniform and a firefighter in uniform inactive on facebook, only to turn around and boost the minneapolis times saying katie cashman is violating city and state laws featuring brian o'hara in uniform

And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job

not only is elizabeth shaffer against rent stabilization policies, she also told we love mpls we don't need any new renter protections

this is the landlord's candidate

elizabeth shaffer canvassers going for the coveted "electrical room" vote!

and $248k is STILL not enough for them, because all of mpls and we love mpls both spent thousands on elizabeth shaffer too, a combined more than $40k from 1/1 to 9/16

it's all obscene

The rich have too much money and are trying to buy every election, even local ones.

“They cheated on a commercial” - a totally sane person definitely fit for the Presidency

There are a lot of cowards in elite positions. There is a lot of courage in civil society. People aren't just taking career risks--though the spate of recent resignations and denunciations might rep. that--they're taking physical risks confronting ICE. They're organizing. Suing.

General thoughts:
1. W10 Millard had to stay off to pretend she’s a progressive
2. Was Becka even asked, given toxicity?
3. Four at-large for 3 Park seats helps progressives!
4. Good for Brandt (BET) & Deshpande (Parks 3) for saying away. They badly want Fine through.
5. Did W11 fall into the river?

A helpful list of folks to avoid voting for.

Solidarity with every city experiencing this evil, and solidarity with every person fighting for their liberation.

What most of you don’t understand about trumps White House renovation is that he is trying to destroy Toon Town to build a freeway.

critics of the mayor are not "haters." this strib framing minimizes issues and concerns people have about him, and using slang terms like "haters" is frey-friendly language because this is what his supporters say in response to people bringing up valid issues

"you're just a hater"

let's not forget that elizabeth shaffer ran for the district 4 seat in 2021 as a "nonpartisan pragmatist" in contrast to jono cowgill, who lead with his progressive beliefs. kathleen is right to call this label out for what it is

Ward 7 cannot afford Elizabeth Shaffer.

As a former Minneapolis DFL Vice Chair put it, “The most electable path for Elizabeth Shaffer is to make you think she’s a Democrat (even though her political stances and donations to Republicans would lead you to believe otherwise).”

the safety lights in dinkytown are the work of robin wonsley, and both linea palmisano and elizabeth shaffer have complained about it, so it's funny to see their ally the mayor championing @robin4mpls.bsky.social delivering for ward 2!

substance abuse is a significantly underreported driver of this administration's behavior

You know shit's getting serious once they start using words you usually only hear over a boiling cauldron.

I mean listen, we can't cut off this 30-year-old boy's bright future just because he said incredibly racist Nazi shit when he was only 30 years old

I guess I just feel like it should be a bigger deal that Penske Media owns the Golden Globes and ALSO Rolling Stone, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Indiewire, GoldDerby, and Deadline, plus 20% of Vox Media

By a 2-1 opinion, the Ninth Circuit just held that the president can federalize the National Guard forces and deploy them when protesters shine flashlights in the eyes of ICE officers. It’s one of the most dangerous and legally flawed court decisions I’ve seen this year. 1/23

Silwa is who the marginal Trump II voter thought Trump was

it’s not just that they think they can, it’s that acting like trump is the only way to get trump’s favor, which is what keeps him from screaming at you in public and what keeps you in the good graces of the many, many people in the trump orbit who are ready to offer you bribes

MLK's Letter from Birmingham Jail was essentially written to Elizabeth Shaffer.

"Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."
