My RCV take: Itās not preventing Minneapolis progressives from achieving desired city-wide results. It is actually showing that progressives are close even when not winning. And itās affirming something about the electorate that we donāt understand, canāt accept, or donāt know what to do about.

What the fuck are "biological pronouns?" This is the dumbest thing I've ever read in service of endorsing the bullying of trans kids. Half the world uses languages that don't have gendered pronouns and these illiterate and ignorant judges are creating entirely nonsensical concepts.

As if the SCOTUS decision wasn't bad enough, the 6th circuit said "hold my beer" and explicitly created a constitutional right to bully trans kids who are already at tremendous risk of self harm and suicide. These judges want dead trans kids.

"without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." This is flatly false! Trans people with a passport that does not match with their plain appearance when presented to a border agent is subject to additional hassle compared to a cis person presenting a passport.

Her ignorance looks even worse to me. It looks like she not only isn't aware of the randomization but also is assuming the order (however arrived at) is consistent across the whole district, as opposed to rotating from precinct to precinct.

The Carols of Nextdoor had a silent majority theory that higher turnout would take down Chowdhury. I don't know if pro-Chowdhury or anti-Thompson sentiment got people to the polls, but the 35% increase in turnout went almost entirely for Chowdhury (around 85%).

Ward 12 candidate, Becka Thompson, has endorsed a conservative and supposedly independent PAC that supports her in her latest newsletter. I've asked this PAC repeatedly to unendorse Thompson due to her racist behavior but, Karin Birkeland has chosen not to.

"Team MPLS" always has been about extracting capital from the city regardless of who it damages. Unhoused people, then, become an unsightly problem rather than neighbors. Renters are merely means to further capital. And property crime is far more valuable than crime against people.

This Jacob Hill quote gives away the Frey teamās true mission: to control the Minneapolis politics from the outside. Their motivation is not the betterment of Minneapolis citizens. Their profit-driven cause is about the full metro area economy - to help both Republicans and Democrats get rich.

This "You don't count unless you lived your whole life here" exclusivity represents the worst of Minneapolis. I've lived in Mpls for 12 years and MN for over 25, and people like this can still make me feel unwelcome. Do people like this think most people think this way? What an odd thing to publish.

I will never understand why Minnesotans are like this. Personally, I prefer people who have lived in multiple states and countries, who have navigated different cultures, encountered different types of people, and evolved as people as they learn from those experiences.
