a lot of minnesotans have this mistaken impression that they can break rules as long as they are "polite" and "nice" about it, not even realizing that the very act of trying to break rules is in fact inherently rude, boundary pushing behavior

I had a law school prof who would pose a hypothetical, and anytime someone tried to change the facts he’d say “yes, if the facts were different, the facts would be different.” Meaning we could debate about different factual scenarios all day and never get to answer the scenario we are in.

If people had just switched their ranking from Fateh to Davis then—

Ok so then the reverse is true. And then it’s also true if all the Fateh and Davis voters switched from them to Jazz. So fucking what. We could do this all day. If all of us voted Brenda we’d have a new mayor, so what

frey's bros are some of the most toxic people i've encountered online and seem to be emblematic of the culture Frey cultivates

bring back maligning racism as the mark of a stupid person. prejudice is the mark of an idiot. if you believe that shit i bet you also don’t wipe your ass

I’m asking everyone to vote for a new Mayor by Tuesday and rank all 3 of Omar Fateh, Dewayne Davis, and Jazz Hampton in whichever order you prefer. I’ve worked at City Hall for the last 4 years and from my personal experiences I believe the City desperately needs a new mayor.

Barf. Here's the "Team Mpls" plan to “address 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)

Micah and Omar Fateh

Micah and Dewayne Davis

I will never forget how these two men showed up over and over again this election cycle. At great personal and political cost, they have chosen to stand with the most vulnerable people in our city, to support immigrants, to show children that they matter, to imagine a city that works for everyone.

davis points out to frey that IEs supporting him send mailers instructing voters how to rank their ballots and adds "i am running because i am tired of your inadequate leadership rooted in personal ambition, in moral blindness, in ideological purity."

Mayor Frey's default answer is to call everyone extreme, but even Nancy Pelosi and I agree it's time to take a real stand against Trump. The Mayor would rather throw in the towel because the same people who spent money putting Trump in the WH are bankrolling his campaign.

Our educators and our public school students deserve reasonable classroom sizes and adequate special education services, and our teachers deserve pay they can count on. I stand with @mfelocal59.bsky.social as they work to support our educators and our students.

Days later, people are still coming to me with helpful tips like "what the fuck was that Millard event in Uptown about???"

She did cover this exact problem in June: www.startribune.com/minneapolis-... — but a follow-up on the Council action is appropriate now

So who’s the hater and who’s the waiter?

Allegedly stealing money from a reward fund to find the shooter of 3 north side kids — after funding a PAC accusing Frey’s opponents of being soft on crime. That’s some evil shit.

After a few days offline, Becka Thompson's TikTok account is back. I never bothered to make a spreadsheet of all her bullshit, but she definitely deleted some of her worst videos.

“Frey” rhymes with “BYE” and i cannot freaking wait to see him go. Talk to your neighbors about ranking Davis-Fateh-Hampton in their preferred order!

another issue with john wall is caucusing and being on credentials committee that ousted robin wonsley delegates in ward 2 despite a primary residence in the suburbs, which i have exclusively reported here after sitting through the entire 5 hour hearing

Naomi Kritzer identifies some Josh Bassais red flags in Ward 8. The reason MPD disintegrated is because being a rogue lawless institution finally caught up with them! If you want a fully staffed, resilient department - accountability has to be the first priority.

Today it is Truth and Reconciliation Day. It’s a great day for land back! It’s a great day for Jacob Frey to give @epni-urbanfarm.bsky.social the Roof Depot.

this is fuckin inspiring, man. it is so cool to see a superstar talent in a position of union leadership sticking her neck out to make such a measured but incisive statement

From what Rep. Long’s GOP colleague said the other day in an extremely glib interview on MPR, not only are they unconcerned with prioritizing gun safety to protect kids, they aren’t even willing to consider safety measures at the Capitol

enrique velazquez, director of regulatory services, acknowledged to me in 2023 that an inspector assigned to loring park was calling landlords & telling them which tenants reported them, going against their confidentiality policy

i knew who to escalate this issue up to, how many tenants don’t?

Not so Fun fact: I don’t live in robbinsdale- it’s a weird racist othering lie — and people can have relationships with people and not live with them (who knew!) I’m proud to be renter representing a renter majority city. All are welcome here. ❤️

Among the great political farewells:

-Washington warned against domestic factions and foreign entanglements
-Eisenhower warned of the military industrial complex
-Becka: "I predicted COVID when I was doing math stuff with kids."

I’m a full-time Southsider and rep.

Today’s a good day to donate to my campaign— we are focused on the issues of Ward 12 and the City— and we championing a powerful program to get progressives elected up and down the municipal ticket. Chip in $50 today:

Moreover, following all three cases being dismissed (one against John and Taylor, one against me, and one against me and John and Taylor), Becka continued to harass me and people around me.

Moreover, when she (Aurin) knows she can’t win on merit, experience or ideas, she threatens to sue me. Sound like anyone we might all know in the Oval Office?

I just cannot even. This is coming from someone who told a judge that my $25 satirical website dramatically affected her campaign and people’s perception of her and that I should go to jail.

"My constituents begged me to make myself legally ineligible to represent them" is not the rousing defense Becka thinks it is.
