It’s day 41 of the ICE occupation of MSP.

This weekend we’ve given away 8,000 whistles.

Whistles are a ubiquitous part of daily life now - because an errand as simple as walking down the block is often interrupted by ICE sightings.

Minneapolis is two weeks into an unprecedented federal occupation of our communities and streets, and we've been hit hard with abductions and raids.

Barf. Here's the "Team Mpls" plan to β€œaddress climate change.” No mention of getting off fossil fuels. Nothing on electrification. Nothing on renewable energy, transit or building housing near transit. Just trees and carbon capture(?). This fluff could have been written by the Koch Bros (1/2)

This is embarrassing. Mayor Frey is propping up anti-labor candidates and this should be disqualifying.

It’s time for new leadership. Leadership that will support labor and workers.

What about the city council? Made this after being inspired by the one above(A good mayor would of course work with anyone the voters elect for Minneapolis, but Frey has shown he refuses to work with those that don’t support him.)

Star Tribune printed that stupid fucking oped last week that said it’s important that the mayor of Minneapolis be able to work with and have the support of the state legislature. And tried to claim that candidate was Jacob Frey. So I made this. Vote for Omar Fateh.

I talked with MPR news about my vision for change after eight years of broken promises. It’s time for a Mayor who makes it so people want to continue to live here, raise families here, and start businesses here. Let’s build an affordable city, accountable to us.

I am proud to receive the CTUL Action Fund endorsement. Their worker-led advocacy to balance power between the have and have-nots is how we've run this campaign from the beginning. I am dedicated to work with CTUL to make Mpls a place that more working families can call home.

She doesn’t stand for anything, she just wanted to be President. The second she lost the election, she quit pretending to be a leader. If you stand for something, are part of a movement, you do a thing called losing forward. She just quit. Every losing Dem candidate has done this except Bernie.

I've decided these baby snappers are reminding us all to bring their energy to 2025: thriving in sometimes murky environments, an unerring ability to find their chosen home, and when mature, an ability to take a chunk out of anyone or anything pissing them off.
