What a betrayal.

I think you were trying to say something here, but this really feels like an inside joke, population 1.

I’m so grateful to live in a city where scenes like this are becoming commonplace.

Our public right of way should be designed to ensure people of all ages & abilities can get around safely via all modes of travel.

Forced car dependency isn’t good for any of us.

So, counselor… what‘s the remedy?

@marymoriarty.bsky.social has utterly transformed criminal prosecution in Hennepin County since her election in 2022.

I am grateful for her service, and I look forward to how her vigorous leadership can guide the pursuit of true justice and dignity for the remainder of her term as well.

St Cloud - Mpls - St Paul - Rochester
Duluth - Mpls - Bloom’ton - Mankato

X marks the spot. Local express Intercity rail would be well subscribed in these corridors.

Thanks to the 100+ who came to #mayorpalooza tonight. The spirit of fellowship - among the candidates, among the crowd - was fantastic, just a giant reaffirmation of what Minneapolis can be. Elections are competition but existence is cooperation, and it was nice to see the line between them thin.

It’s an excellent approach, imho.

Today, the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners appointed me as the Deputy County Administrator. My areas will include a newly repurposed Disparity Elimination Line of Business, the Health Line of Business, and the Human Services Line of Business.

Coincidentally, people who work in politics are also flabbergasted that moral communications framing is very resonant with people.

People who work in politics are always very shocked to learn that lots of average people, including voters, are members of faith communities.

She has! She’s a great leader 👍🏻

If his team had campaigned more and complained less, maybe he would have gotten more than 31% 🤷🏼‍♂️ (2/2)

Not that anyone cares, but…

I had a higher vote share on the first ballot at the 62B convention (where I promptly conceded to and endorsed now State Rep Anquam Mahamoud) than Frey did on the first ballot at this year’s City Convention. (1/2)

Why aren’t people who are trying to resist capitalism unsuccessful at electoral politics in America? I feel like that question answers itself.

I offer critiques and do the work. Some of us can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Because I can think of one: the NPL in North Dakota from 1918-1922 that led to the creation of the only State-owned bank in the country.

I hope you are able to find time to pursue wellness. I’m concerned for you.

I feel like this must be in a State party platform somewhere, at least.

Can you point to an example of a leftist governing majority at the State or Federal level in American history?

Is it because it’s a game about taking someone else’s territory by force?

They have never passed legislation guaranteeing universal access to health care at any level, regardless of how large their governing majorities were.
