Janne... I read this as "condos" first and I'm wheeze laughing 🤣

I was at the 2017 ward 7 convention when I first met Frey. I asked him "why run for mayor, why now" and he said "I've done what I can as CM and now it's time for the next step" which to me meant this was a power grab game to him from the jump. Could not believe that was his answer.

Minneapolis Mayor Frey Admits To Being Misleading On 'No-Knock' Policy Changes "Language became more casual, including my own, which did not reflect the necessary precision or nuance. And I own that," Mayor Jacob Frey said.

7/ Caught in a lie, Frey never apologized. Instead, we got his famously weasely “Language became more casual, including my own.” BTW this is the 1st election voters can hold Frey accountable for lying & Locke dying, but the incident is almost memory-holed in coverage. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Read This When Things Fall Apart by Kelly Hayes | Pilsen Community Books A bundle of letters to activists and organizers on the frontlines in catastrophic times from Let This Radicalize You co-author Kelly Hayes In social movements, some heartbreaks are all but inevitable.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

It was great to meet you irl! I didn't put two and two together till later, but if I had would e wanted to say power to you re: feminist caucus.

Title text: "Ward 8 Dispatch" next to the Mpls for the Many logo shaped like a stamp. Below that the text, "For more than seven years, (Mayor Frey has) failed our neighborhood by refusing to meaningfully address the poverty, drug epidemic and resulting encampments that exist in our community. Because of your unwillingness to provide health, sanitation and trash services to our unhoused neighbors, we encounter unsafe drug use, uncapped needles, unsanitary conditions, break-ins and theft daily." Attributed to Cat Salonek Schladt, Ward 8 Resident"

After almost eight years, Mayor Frey’s failed approach to encampments is harming everyone in our communities.

In an open letter to Mayor Frey, Cat Salonek Schladt highlights the impact of Frey’s “unwillingness to provide health, sanitation and trash services to our unhoused neighbors.”

Aiiiieeee 😬

I find this extremely chilling:
I spoke w a reporter this morning about Kimmel. (Reporter was / is great) They got back to me a short while ago to say they sought White House comment & WH demands to know first which experts they spoke with. I told reporter I'm happy to be quoted IN THE STORY but 1/x

The victim blaming in press coverage of last night's mass shootings in Minneapolis is unfuckingbelievable. Every story focuses on city efforts to shut down a homeless encampment.

I've read three stories on it—all of which quote officials—and I still have no idea WHO was shooting, much less WHY.

This weekend on a drive out to see some friends in the burbs, kid in the backseat goes "I'm the sweep today!" b/c when we bike together as a fam usually it's me on the cargo bike hauling kid and my partner behind us sweeping 😇

On the right day South Minneapolis is the most beautiful place on earth

If you believe anything - ANYTHING - else then block me now.

I loved it, hope y'all do too

Biking to fair mistake I made today: using the transit way 😵‍💫 so crowded and loud 🫨

There is an effort to log them, but I'm guessing you've seen that?

Wow. Bold.
Sorry about your ride, Mary ❤️‍🩹

I get why endorsements are important for funding campaigns, but I feel you.

I'm a natural extrovert. I love door knocking. I love coalition building. I love having hard conversations. I have a master's degree, English is my first language, I'm tall and white. Even with all these things going for me, *I* hate caucuses and conventions! Let's get real and have primaries.

Frey was a bad loser on Saturday. I don't support him. This all day political pageantry has just got to stop. We can do better, democracy deserves better, I get primaries cost more and I'll fundraise to make the switch.

Where is the mpls dfl effort to move away from caucuses and conventions, towards something like a regular ass primary? can I be part of that work? Hmu.

FAST COMPANY Article: While retirement typically occurs, after completing a career and saving and investing for it, a new trend is emerging among Gen Z career professionals called "micro-retirement." Micro- retirements involve taking a one to two- week break from work every 12 to 18 months. Gen Z is using micro-retirement to avoid burnout, find greater fulfillment in their work, and enhance their overall well-being. However, it's not just Gen-Z:

'Vacations.'

The word is 'vacations.'

A bar graph. On the left side is a bar showing that Republicans are cutting $930 billion from Medicaid. On the right side is a bar showing that Republicans are giving $910 billion in tax breaks to corporations under their budget bill, paid for by gutting Medicaid.

Republicans may lie about what's in their budget bill but the numbers sure don't.
