Hi Minnesotan Bluesky: The DFL has a well-known transphobia problem. I'm organizing to change the party platform in 2026 to be explicitly supportive of trans people in Minnesota. This will provide a basis for expelling transphobia from our party. Join me: abetterdfl.org.

the state DFL are holding a listening tour with chair richard carlbom next month and their only minneapolis stop, at the downtown central library, is already at capacity why aren't we using an MPS school for this like we do our conventions? they have big auditoriums and free parking too

It’s one of those hard truths that Obama’s use of drone strikes to do extrajudicial murder in the name of the global war on terror set the stage for trumps extrajudicial murder across the global south and his plans to do the same domestically against those seen by republicans as domestic enemies

This is one of the main reasons I don't want Jacob leading this city anymore. The common denominator in these broken relationships across the board is him and his obstinance. He is not a collaborator.

There are more reasons Minneapolis needs a new mayor, but lying about police reforms, acting in ways that undermine trust in police reforms, and an inability to partner with other elected officials to promote and deliver on our city’s needs make it clear we need a new mayor.

Minneapolis needs a mayor capable of developing strong working relationships with other elected officials serving the city. Especially in these uncertain times. After 8 years in office, Jacob Frey has no endorsements from the Mpls legislative delegation or county commissioners serving the city.

Minneapolis deserves a mayor we can trust on police reform. The officer who killed Amir Locke was put in charge of use-of-force training by Jacob Frey’s police chief. When the situation became public, Frey doubled down on the chief’s decision before the people of Minneapolis forced a change.

Minneapolis deserves a mayor who doesn’t mislead us about policing. My heart still aches for Amir Locke & his family. Four years ago, Jacob Frey claimed to have ended no-knock warrants. He didn’t. And an innocent man then lost his life during the execution of a no-knock warrant.

I endorse DeWayne Davis bc I've been impressed w/ how he is bringing people together in his campaign & his mix of political experience & dedication to serving people in our community. He's shown a high level of integrity in how he’s navigated challenges in Mpls, & that's especially important now.

We’re getting close to election day in Minneapolis, and I’ve figured out who I plan to vote for. I endorse Dr. DeWayne Davis and Sen. Omar Fateh. I also plan to rank Jazz Hampton.

Great thread from Angela Denker illustrating the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of Strib CEO Steve Grove. Explains paper’s continued degradation into mush.

I could really go for a medically induced coma right about now.

elizabeth shaffer on the upcoming campaign finance report: "I was accused of being heavily supported by corporate PAC’s, which isn’t remotely true," all of mpls has spent $33,569.13 on her behalf we love mpls spent $7,649.94 on her behalf mailchi.mp/e30dcf471bdf...

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

I’m so excited to announce that Spiced Up Civics has just dropped our first interview with the mayoral contenders! Check out the interview on our YouTube to learn more about @dewayneforminneapolis.com as he eats locally sourced hot wings! youtu.be/1B14DYswEYY

Jacob Frey wants to draft off No Kings to chase clout. His subordinates enabled an ICE raid. He hired a lawyer from Big Lie firm Jones Day. And his campaign is being bankrolled by Republicans. He does not support protest movements. He’s there for the vibes and for himself not any cause or ideal.

hennepin county commissioner irene fernando sent an email to mayor frey about a letter she sent him back on 9/17, days after mariah samuels was murdered by her partner. this letter was partially seeking information from him such as the timeline from the city's and MPD's perspective

irene fernando's email to jacob frey re: mariah samuels. october is domestic violence awareness month, fernando wants to know what city will do "If I am unable to receive engagement directly from you as a fellow elected official, then how can I trust that you are responsive to my neighbors?"

Why did Jacob Frey delete his electronic communications from the day that MPD collaborated with an ICE action on Lake St in Minneapolis? What did he say? What did he learn? What did he direct? Our public officials should not be destroying the official records of their actions.

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

People are suffering. People are dying. Because of the craven greed and gross incompetence of Republicans in government. www.jezebel.com/marnie-shiel...

I wanted to share this message from my friend and colleague @katiejonesmpls.bsky.social. I’m proud to be the only candidate in this race endorsed by the state legislators that represent us. They know I’m a collaborative problem solver that delivers for Ward 7.

Bench is up! Thanks @ehbforbet.bsky.social

Yay! Do it now!

What an amazing week. Each night, talking to residents about what they want in their next mayor, DeWayne’s vision, values, and experience . We’re going to do this together. A brand new day is around the corner.We’ll get it this election. #wedeservebetter #minneapolis @dewayneforminneapolis.com

the city’s callousness toward its residents will continue to lead to nightmare scenarios like this. we shouldn’t have to live in the mayor’s Saw fantasy.

Like a few hours before this HUD said they wanted to get rid of all funding to permanent housing projects. Not even for shutdown reasons, just for funsies, to put disabled people on the streets

Thank you, oatmeal cup. I really needed this today.

We really need to get these emotionally unstable men out of our government.

"[MPD] were not there to protect Minneapolis residents. They were there to protect Trump’s federal agents, and according to those ICE agents themselves - MPD did a great job in allowing them to terrorize our community.” chelsea mcfarren of mpls for the many drive.google.com/file/d/1wzYe...

Right now, Minneapolis can choose a different story than the one people are telling about us – we can choose to believe in the power of us. Voting is open now until November 4. I hope you'll rank me first on your ballot because Minneapolis deserves better.

Lynette Dumalag is running for State Senate - MN SD46 (for 2026)! She is a super qualified Democrat. Lynette has my support and will get my vote in the primary! www.lynetteformn.com

suitor questions wall, asking where he lives. says he has a couple residents but his primary residence is in wayzata HE JUST CAUCUSED IN WARD 2

i’m in st. paul for latest in the robin wonsley & michael wilson vs john wall case after the hearing last week, judge christina moseng determined there is probable cause to believe wall violated MN statute by not allowing these campaigns to canvass his buildings

the flats at malcolm yards is comprised entirely of government-subsidized affordable units - these are working class residents, and john wall, a wealthy developer and landlord, is paternalistically attempting to control what political information they receive

just in - robin wonsley and michael wilson have filed a complaint against john wall of the wall companies, who is refusing to allow them to doorknock his buildings in ward 2 in violating of state law on twelve occasions taylordahlin.com/f/robin-wons...

But I thought it wasn't an ICE raid on #LakeStreet in #Minneapolis. www.startribune.com/owner-of-lak...
