Will the Strib liveblog when people start losing housing subsidies and other benefits, or is that level of in-depth reporting only reserved for airport delays?

Jacob Frey voters should be asked one abiding honest question, what thing would you hold him accountable for?

Congrats Duluth Renters & Take Action 💪👏 www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Voter #80, Minneapolis Ward 4, Precinct 3 #dontrankfrey

Published my first Op-Ed w/ Professor Ed Goetz on how the national narrative about Minneapolis misses how zoning and market rate housing are necessary but not sufficient to help lower-income renters 🧵 www.startribune.com/twin-cities-...

Duluth's so-called “Right to Repair” initiative would allow renters to pay for minor repairs and deduct the cost from their rent if landlords fail to respond. But some worry tenants could be left footing the bill. Voters decide Tuesday on Election Day.

This opinion that additional tenant rights are "a dangerous experiment" that could "harm tenants" is such a commonly repeated yet disgusting and patronizing attitude. 🧵 1/3

Hell yeah 💪 thank you @tonydamiano.bsky.social & Ed! Opinion — We’re seeing haves and have-nots with Minneapolis rents www.startribune.com/twin-cities-... "Research consistently shows that rent stabilization keeps rents down and prevents eviction and displacement."

Difficult reading this week's @nlihc.org Memo: Children Accounted for Nearly 40% of the 7.6 Million Individuals Evicted From 2007 to 2016 ...and: Study showing eviction & inability to pay rent associated with worse mental health outcomes & sleep disturbances among children: nlihc.org/resource/hou...

I remember this guy was on an affordable housing advocacy advisory board I served on—the purpose of including this dipshit was to better bridge the "business community" to housing advocacy. What a joke.

lol, what are we doing? The government is shut down, the White House is being demolished, food stamps and health care are supposedly going to be cut in two weeks, c’mon, Klobuchar

The MN Judicial Branch took the red pill.

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.

CM LaTrisha Vetaw's answer to this question should disqualify her from public service. She is an embarrassment. How the fuck does a current City Council member either not have access to the information needed, or not have adequate critical thinking skills to provide an answer to this question?

The council member is totally right. If the downtown council, Mayor Frey and his allies don’t condemn this anti-Minneapolis propaganda, they’re teeing up Republicans to run statewide on this garbage next year. They’re willing to risk a GOP governor or leg to make sure their stooge remains mayor.

Commentary: It's time to eliminate the state’s home mortgage interest deduction and reinvest those funds directly into down payment assistance and the production of affordable homes.

"may violate ethics laws" ...? HATCH ACT

The STOP Slumlords ordinance is okay, but City should also adequately resource orgs that support renters in all properties. Mpls contracts w/ HOME Line @ $125K/year to operate our hotline—we advise 5,000+ Minneapolis renter households/year. 1,500+ inquired about habitability issues last year alone.

More renters across the state are forming tenant unions to push for repairs and improvements in their buildings under a new state law that adds protections for tenant organizing.

The website of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development needs more pop-ups.

Two fair housing attorneys signed their names to a report warning that the US Department of Housing and Urban Development is eviscerating the offices that investigate and prosecute housing discrimination cases. Today HUD removed both attorneys: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

NEW: Some 4 million people in the U.S. could lose federal housing assistance under new plans from the Trump administration, say experts who reviewed drafts of two unpublished rules obtained by ProPublica. By @jessecoburn.bsky.social

I had the opportunity to sit down with Eric Roper to share why I think Minneapolis has everything we need to tackle our biggest problems. I hope you'll take the time to read about what I know we can do together with compassionate, principled leadership. www.startribune.com/dewayne-davi...

I did the math on what ended up being an 82-minute Minneapolis mayoral debate. Here’s my unofficial count of how long each candidate got to speak: Jacob Frey 18:17 Omar Fateh 17:04 Dewayne Davis 10:11 Jazz Hampton 9:08 Brenda Short 7:56

The Citizens League should be embarrassed for thinking Blois Olson is an appropriate moderator, with all of the conflicts of interest he has. Do either Olson or Lahammer even live in Minneapolis?

Rev McAfee used slurs against other elected officials inc CM Chavez, threatened the city and staff after his violence interrupters were denied a city contract after one of his employees accidentally discharged it. This man is trouble, and we'll need to show up for Rep Agabje next year.

Representative Agabje has been one of the most steadfast and effective advocates for tenant's rights in the State House. Absolutely zero coincidence that's who the Mayor's allies target.

Every single individual involved in that dinner stunt on Nicollet should be ashamed of themselves. Read the fucking room. What a total embarrassment for our city.

This article should mention Trailbot, which keeps the public updated on when trails are open/closed due to weather & trail conditions: trailbot.com Don't run/bike on a soggy trail—it ruins it for everyone.

Bored with your usual running route? Scenic views, beautiful nature and a more adventurous experience are available at these trails in and around the Twin Cities.

Housing Secretary Scott Turner wants to build-baby-build. But so far his tenure at HUD has looked more like slash-slash-slash — with plunging numbers for staff, grants and proposed funding. @sarahholder.bsky.social and I profiled Turner and his unorthodox agenda: www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Homophobia/ threats are not in line with our city’s values. His actions demonstrate a lack of cultural competency that is important to building trust w/ community & violence prevention. The city’s actions to disregard LGBTQIA+ people does not make us any safer. www.startribune.com/rev-jerry-mc...

Good Strib story on Mayor Frey’s push to keep giving Jerry McAfee city money. Good job calling Frey out for not condemning McAfee’s homophobic insult at @jchavezmpls.bsky.social. Frey likes to portray himself as telling hard truths, but he’s a coward here. www.startribune.com/rev-jerry-mc...

< 1 week until the Minnesota State Fair 🎉 www.mnstatefair.org/updates/

I feel like resurrecting $347,932 in taxpayer payments to a favored Frey homophobe who called a gay council member a “girl,” threatened violence in the city council chamber, and whose contractors shot up the north side should earn the sort of media coverage reserved for what cars candidates drive …

It sure does pay to be a Frey political patronage supporter - you can be as abusive and loud and toxic and homophobic as you want to be, and still pull up to the gravy train. The good Reverend McAfee back on the docket. They dont call it Salem Inc. for nothing lims.minneapolismn.gov/File/2025-00...
