THIS IS THE THING Your sense of safety being threatened *has all happened under Frey*. More of the same is not going to change that. My god.

sign for the transgender day of remembrance vigil and rally in loring park on 11/20 from 6-7:30pm

funny to look back. this was the moment that sealed us getting a pro-labor, progressive park board majority!

Also. “Omar Fateh doesn’t have charisma” is racist. He’s amazing and you just didn’t watch his videos. Your loss

I am never not gonna be mad about the Minneapolis public not connecting Frey to complete control of MPD operations for the past 8 years. www.startribune.com/election-day...

minneapolis didn’t have an incumbent that got indicted, minneapolis didn’t have publically funded elections and thus we got swamped in millionaire PAC money, the DFL machine threw a racist fit and un-endorsed fateh, and minneapolis has a completely different electoral system without a primary

did u know that CD5 DFL chair, Scott Graham, was not only Perall Warren’s campaign manager, he *also* chaired the shit show that was ward 5 DFL convention. Scott Graham was also one of the main challengers to the Mpls DFL convention, led the platform to kick DSA out of the DFL & stalked Sam Doten.

If you haven’t yet, and want to join the thousands of twin citians who have signed up for the defense of our immigrant neighbors, there’s several more trainings this month: 11/11 Chaska 11/20 Plymouth 11/23 Longfellow Mpls 11/25 Kingfield Mpls 12/4 Bancroft Mpls More info here monarcamn.org

I’m immeasurably sad about the Frey victory because of how it is going to affect unhoused people. Frey’s homelessness policy is more draconian than almost any other big-city Democratic mayor. He’s going to view this victory as a mandate to further criminalize homelessness.

Congratulations to @aishaforward10.com who was elected for the 3rd time as Council Member in Ward 10. You know you’re doing something right when landlords start their own PAC just to take you down, and they still lose by over 20% points. A champion for renters returns.

One of the all time greats. I have a Jason Garcia poster in my childhood bedroom.

According to VoteMpls, @jason4parks.bsky.social won their seat on the Park Board and this legit gives me a lot of joy! Jason's care for our city, and parks is gonna be necessary and good to have! Congratulations :)

Thank you District 4, and the supporters who carried this victory! Once I’m a bit more healed up, we will definitely be celebrating this win- the vision of parks for everyone is something we can all share and bring to fruition.

fuck jacob frey every day and extra today

The thing Frey wants more than anything is for us to point fingers and blame each other for this. It emboldens him. We must have discipline. We must fight. And care for each other.

Jacob Frey bought the mayor’s seat with dirty, right wing money, and by leveraging the racism and Islamophobia Minneapolis does so well.

so proud of Senator Omar Fateh, his campaign team, and everything they did to put up a good fight against the entire bullshit status quo of both the DFL and the right wing

The siren at 1pm is to warn you of four more years of this bullshit.

Thank you to @dewayneforminneapolis.com @omarfatehmn.com @jazzformayor.bsky.social and every other candidate who saw through his gaslighting, lies, fences, and all of his bullshit to try to make a real difference here. Thank you for doing the work and trying to make a better city for us all. 💙💙💙

It's easy to overwhelm the insipid cruel NextDoor freaks at caucuses if you bring your neighbors- talk to people! They don't! Even with all the money in the world they accidentally turned out enough people who disliked their candidates that they lost the Mayoral endorsement & had to call the manager

At the end of the day, what we have is each other, plain and simple. Mutual aid, neighborly protection, and community organizing. We aren't the first to have this fight and we aren't the last. Onward.

What's more is that Frey's team - "Team Mpls" - used the overturning of the endorsement to extend and spread the narrative that Fateh had *cheated*. This, for me, is the biggest frustration of this election. This deliberate misinformation fucked us over, and they were FINE lying about it.

100%. This is moneyed neolib interests vs progressive populism.

yessssss

WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT $2,000 IN PAINT, LYDIA

Mpls politics Bluesky on the Secretary of State’s website right now

So happy for NYC. Fuck yes. But also if you could please send Minneapolis good vibes while we maybe collectively lose our minds for 48ish hours of ranked choice voting…that would be great.

The rare good news. The future is ours if we want to take it.

One Frey gaffe I wish had come up more during the lead up to the election: the nasty cat blankets thing. He really fucking hates us

Polls close at 8PM. If you’re in line, stay in line. Let’s finish strong.

🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️ go home 🕯️ 🕯️ jacob 🕯️ 🕯️ GO HOME 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️

voted. comfy sweater equipped. birthday sushi indulged in. i hope people enjoy the post-polls festivities tonight! i will be at home with my cats 😺

Get your friends & neighbors to the polls, everyone. This is critical.

This is genuinely horrible

Who puts Carlbom and the state party on probation. Funny that this highly compromised person is both chairing the dfl, and overseeing @mplsdfl.org probation. Can’t wait for more reporting from @taylordahlin.com highlighting Richard’s corruption

Reminder that in Minnesota, you have the right to vote on the same day you register. We are not a voter ID state. You can vote if you've lived in Minnesota for 20 days and are old enough: www.sos.mn.gov/elections-vo... Your neighbor/friend can also vouch for you.

Still undecided? You're allowed to take the Ward 10 episode of the Wedge LIVE podcast into the booth with you and listen for an hour before casting your ballot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkAR...

I had a few friends ask me who I am/who I would vote for (especially downballot). so I threw together a quick reference image to send to them. it seems pretty well received to have everything in one spot! was going to write and elaborate my choices on my website but im too sleepy.

If you lose, the mission is to keep organizing for the change you want to see. And if you win, the mission is to keep organizing for the change you want to see.

Met Flo on the doors and proud to have her support. When we opened the door, she said “I am a badass broad.” She’s helped with campaigns since Hubert Humphrey’s run for mayor and knows we need leadership.

all i want for my birthday tomorrow is for Frey to not get re-elected, for Aisha Chugthai to absolutely demolish Lydia Millard, and for a slate of very cool park board candidates to win

Speaking as a citizen (and not as as journalist), I'm thrilled that my friend @jasoncomix.bsky.social is running for the Minneapolis Parks and Rec Board (district four). Jason is one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I know. They're exactly the kind of person who should be in public service.

That maybe sounds like hyperbole, but I mean that exactly as I say it. He will call people and just scream at them if he’s mad about something you said on the dais or in the media. This dynamic is even worse if you’re a woman.

"Instead of solving challenging problems, our governments have turned to fences that cut off necessary urban connections, and it amounts to an abdication of public obligation to people on foot." www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

Our campaign has been about flipping the priorities and we're almost to the finish line! Tomorrow is Election Day, so be sure to vote and rank Omar #1 to ensure our mayor is accountable to us.

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. Long thread 🧵
