I hope @dewayneforminneapolis.com doesn't mind me retelling a story he told me when we first met last winter. I kept it to myself because he wasn’t telling it publicly but he mentioned it yesterday. It’s one of the things that’s leading me to rank him first. A hope-its-ok-and-I-get-right 🧵:

Davis Moturi email to city council, read aloud by CM Wonsley Wednesday. Sees similarity between his case & Mariah Samuels: "A black person in fear for their lives, and a department who can't be bothered to forward a case for consideration of charges in our time of greatest need."

TWIN CITIES PEOPLE, COME THROUGH!!!! THIS THURSDAY NIGHT! A lovely evening with some of my favorite neighborhood organizers in the world.

Packed room at the Minneapolis Clean Energy Partnership meeting where the MN Department of Commerce is presenting on their Thermal Energy Network Site Suitability Study is being presented. @unidosmn

Incidentally, it should be said that @MayorFrey did this interview and photo op in the coffee shop at George Floyd Square without permission or even asking the owner or the workers in the shop. That is just the type of opportunist he is. He didn’t even purchase a coffee.

I wrote about the group of undercover landlords and investors trying to take over our Minneapolis elections, and why people should care. I tried to make it accessible to folks who aren't already familiar with Minneapolis politics, so please share! mplsmusings.com/2025/05/14/t...

Start reading the responses and get them into your talking points and start talking to every single person you know from now until ballot time

Sign up for the final HERC Education Sessions of the season! We’ve had a great time getting to meet more neighbors at the first two HERC Education Sessions, and we hope that you will join us this Wednesday (5/14) and/or next Wednesday (5/21) from 6-7:30 CT! Sign up at: bit.ly/hercsessions

If this moves anyone to action, @katiecashman.bsky.social's campaign will still be going strong and the official general election kickoff is on June 21st. RSVP now: www.mobilize.us/katieforcoun...

Mpls #DontRankFrey folks: What was it that first made you skeptical of or opposed to Jacob Frey (either as a CM or as Mayor)? And/or, if you were explaining to someone why you don't support him, what specific actions/statements of his would you bring up?

Lots of shenanigans at conventions. Cries of hypocrisy and unfairness from both sides. But booting all those delegates was legitimately outrageous. Identifying people who don't like your candidate and picking them off, among them an elected Park Commissioner, Becky Alper. And Team Frey still lost.

Important to note Robin Wonsley is doing what predecessor Cam Gordon did for many years in Ward 2, winning as a Green with DFLers supporting him.

Frey employed the oldest Republican trick in the book - appoint political flunkies and incompetence in positions that you don’t really care about anyway. watch them flounder and crash the program, his core constituents who never want anything to change can say “see I told you that wouldn’t work”

"An adult diversion program sounds like a pretty appropriate response to vandalizing six automobiles. (Which is not “political violence.”)". Look, a grown-up with a grown-up response about how we respond to vandalism; thank you, @msmaas.bsky.social for the logic.

Hey Minneapolis! Council Member @robinformpls.com and I are bringing forward an update to the Civil Rights Ordinance to include height and weight, housing status, and justice impacted status as protected classes. The public hearing will be at the PHS Committee on April 23 at 1:30PM.

My innie will be attending the DFL caucus on 4/8/25. He will develop a whole new personality, new friends, a brighter outlook on life, be kinder and more heroic — despite the legitimately awful conditions and bad lighting he's subjected to.

I’d ❤️ to see you next Thursday!

Join us for 3 upcoming Meet & Greet events with @omarfatehmn.com, @emilykoskimpls.bsky.social, and @dewayneforminneapolis.com to help you decide who would be the best Mayor of Minneapolis. Refreshments will be served & children are welcome. RSVP at the links below! ⬇️

How might we promote our projects, events, campaigns, art, values, etc *beyond* social media? There's no one magic key, but some friends and I did some brainstorming and skill-sharing. Hope it can useful to artists, musicians, organizers, small business owners, and beyond:

Important Minneapolis 🧵

Here's how Mayor Frey's rich friends at "All of Mpls" will attempt to confuse you about encampments in an election year. They tell you the city council is trying to legalize encampments. First: that's not true. But they want the focus to be on making sure it's illegal.

The lefties have invaded the Strib’s ops section: “DOJ consent decree will not save us: The fundamentals of the policing situation in Minneapolis are that the mayor has the ultimate authority and that we need a new mayor.” www.startribune.com/doj-consent-... (no paywall)

BREAKING: BCA says they unlocked Winston Smith's phone and obtained footage of Smith being shot by sheriff's deputies acting under authority of federal agents.

Hey friends - we have been running out of tents, sleeping bags, and tarps every single week and it's getting colder. We know of at least one camp getting evicted this week. If you can help, $ goes farthest but you can also bring winter clothes and secondhand tents to any of our drop spots!

Lovely day: Minneapolis man looks to change narrative with cheerful tweets, photos Mike Norton @nortonmpls.bsky.social, a prolific defender of Minneapolis, says it’s up to the people who live here to push back at negative portrayals of the city. www.startribune.com/lovely-day-m...
