βThis would prevent us from catching the person who assassinated Melissa Hortman, the perpetrators of violent gun crime on the Northside, and a gigantic number of human and drug traffickers,β said the spokesperson.
Mayor Frey refuses to strengthen the cityβs separation ordinance, using the assassination of Melissa Hortman to justify it.
If the Mayors office insists on revisiting 6/14, ok. Letβs talk about MPDβs completely incompetent response and failure to protect legislators. Zero of whom support him.
I'm blown away by all the people who showed up to the No Kings Rally today. We can make our democracy work again, and I want to be your mayor to do just that.

If MPDβs approach is the only one weβre using, weβll never stop intimate partner violence.
I generally don't do long threads on here, but if you'll all allow it, a longer thought:
A CALL FOR MORE ANTI-ICE POETRY, MUSIC, VISUAL ART, AND BEYOND
Weβre pushing @governorwalz.mn.gov & MN leaders for an assault weapons ban because thatβs what the Annunciation parents and community want. Doing anything less is, well, stupid.

For 7 years, Mayor Frey has lied. He lied about no-knock warrants and Amir Locke died. He lied and said there were only 27 unhoused people in the cityβfacts prove him wrong. He even vetoed the Uber/Lyft wage bill after vowing to support it. Minneapolis needs a leader, not a liar.

While we need to find ways to reduce individuals' ability and desire to commit violent acts, we must also address the instruments of that violence: guns themselves.
