Wondering if you've ever read the book, "It's Complicated" by Danah Boyd. I have had it recommended to me and was told that it covers similars concepts to what you wrote about, but I haven't personally gotten to it yet. Has that book gone into what you wrote at all?

Do you think any of the 3 Frey challengers would be willing to bring Paris style urban transformation to Minneapolis?

They have escaped to safety.

The geese of loring are trapped in the hennepin-lyndale 15th st crossing.

It is in fact, Phyllis Roden who we can badmouth.

@dbrauer.net if you could help get my correction out, i don't want to badmouth Khan for something untrue.

Here. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that is her.

And/or maybe she was just a guest? Either way I'm at least positive it was Khan.

No it was Phyllis. She was sat next to me, but maybe she isn't in my precinct.

Rank Omar, Jazz, DeWayne for Mayor of Minneapolis. #DontRankFrey. Background: Jazz Hampton, DeWayne Davis, and Omar Fateh sitting on stage at the Target Center during Q&A. Omar Fateh is speaking into his microphone and holding a binder.

While you don't have to choose a 2nd & 3rd choice candidate, I hope you do, and I hope you rank @dewayneforminneapolis.com and @jazzformayor.bsky.social mayor in whichever order you prefer. #DontRankFrey

To me it seems like they go out of their way to do so.

Really wish this site had an edit feature...

On some level that's just part of a city, if it isn't changing its dying. But people don't like change and so they try to resist the natural process. Plus we've seen all the issues that come about trying to restrict change by restricting new housing.

Please elaborate I don't know if I understand. You're saying cops don't protect wealthy white homeowners?

Sorta. I think they fear increased taxes, which is misguided as Frey is the one leading that. I think they also fear losing the cops who will protect rich white homeowners above all else. I also think they fear anything outside of the ALLMIGHTY CAR being prioritized.

Remember, Fraud is Bad, unless our guy does is involved, then it's not actually that bad.

Did we say our guy was involved? No he never did fraud, it was always the other guy. DSA bad!

Exact same rhetoric as republics use.

She was actually in my precinct, loring park. I'm guessing the Greenway condos but I am not totally sure.

She was a delegate so must live somewhere in 7.

And a lot of young people don't care enough about politics to be involved and make the change happen. I'm hoping Cashman can get renters and young people out, because Shaffer is the kind of, no change do what rich homeowners want, candidate that is the issue with so much of our city/politics.

I'm not sure how to fix that issue either, I do think it's a lot of older lifelong DFLers who want to keep power and keep things going their way. They already own homes, so keeping the status quo is what benefits them, to the determinant of everybody else. They will fight to stop any change.

Yeah, there probably is other reasons she dislikes Cashman, but I'm guessing there are not many actual policy things they would disagree on. Most of Cashman's positions are pretty data driven, here is what works stuff. Somehow looking at what works gets inflated with "Crazy Radical Socialist".

It also amazes me that Khan was once a progressive feminist who appears to have done good work, when my only experiences with her are as a cranky, almost hateful person. It seems Khan dislikes Cashman solely because Cashman is young, though I am just speculating now.

I responded saying, we can look it up as the voting record is public, but she just scoffed and turned away to ignore me. It sort of amazes me how someone prominent in the Minneapolis DFL does not know basic facts about council voting records, OR is willing ignorant to try and defeat a young person.

She then said that Cashman was DSA and we had to get rid of her and that Cashman disliked police and wanted to defund them. I had to tell her that, no actually Cashman has never said defund the police and that she voted for a police budget increase. Khan told me that's a lie.

Not a wild story, but I sat next to her at the Ward 7 convention. I and a couple of others were talking and somehow DSA came up. Khan scoffed, so I asked what scared her so much about the DSA. She said the DSA wants to defund the police and let criminals run wild in Minneapolis.

Don't you know the rule? Wonsley always bad Madore always good, get with the program lol.

Yes lol

The best part of this episode is John and Jake spending 20 minutes shitting on Elizabeth Shaffer.

voting in favor of a new police contract that raises their salaries is not the actions of someone who wants to defund the police
