Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go." The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:

KARE 11 features Dr. DeWayne Davis for #Minneapolis #Mayor. Check out why he'll make the best next Mayor of our city. www.kare11.com/article/news...

Thread for Minneapolis people! Jacob Frey is, as my grandfather would say, a bum. A chronic liar, a bagman for the rich, and an enemy of any meaningful progress in the city. Please don’t rank him! Thank you.

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 🧵:

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Apply this language to higher levels of government in this country and see how it sounds: "the executive is having his allies push to change the constitution so that he can hire whoever he wants to lead vital executive departments, with no confirmation vote from the legislative branch."

Really love Bailey teaching folks how a Union works. Teaching the kids. ✊#wnba

NEW📝: A flood of billionaire money in elections started after the SCOTUS #CitizensUnited decision. Since 2010, billionaire 💰💰 in elections has grown 160x, giving the wealthy huge power over policy while regular voters lose influence. 🧵1/3

Right now, the City's homelessness response team consists of just four positions – and they work in a department that manages parking enforcement and animal control. Our unhoused neighbors deserve dignity. We need to do better – and with the right leadership, we can.

I'm excited to share that Jim Rowader has endorsed my campaign! Here's part of what Jim said: "Dr. Davis has exactly what we need to build the city we deserve: political experience, community trust, and a vision for a city that puts the needs of its residents first."

Pardon my late arrival to Bluesky- I just switched over my email and now I can post myself!! 👋👋👋Hi, hello, how are you?

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.

ward 9 update from jason chavez- "City Auditor report finds nearly $200k overpayment by the Jacob Frey Administration" payments were to Helix Health & Housing Services at "urgent request" of frey, chavez says payments reveal lack of oversight and "environment ripe for fraud" @mplsward9.bsky.social

NEW: In 2024, CEOs were paid 281x as much as a typical worker. In 1965, CEOs were only paid 21x as much as a typical worker. CEO pay is out of control! www.epi.org/blog/ceo-pay...

Hours after Charlie Kirk was shot, I emailed my editors at a major American newspaper a potential column focused on the role of Christian Nationalism + radicalization of young white Christian men. They killed it. This is what they published instead. The last line: The Show Must Go On.

An Update: I received an email canceling my contract as a columnist at @startribune.com after sharing this story publicly. (I had written columns past the one-year contract already + been asked to continue on in July).

Oh, hey — there’s a Mpls Park Board forum coming up on Monday, 9/29 with the DFL candidates! It’s at MLK Jr Park on 40th & Nicollet, 5:30–7:30. If you have questions you want the candidates to address, you can submit them here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

In 2024, abortion beat the Democrat on the ballot in Florida (+14), Arizona (+15), Missouri (+11), Nevada (+16). In 2022, it gave us a "blue undertow" that staved off the full red wave.

The real way to help children with autism and neurodivergence is to FUND SCHOOLS. Fund the welfare state. Create opportunities for parents to have an education and well paying jobs. More EAs in school, more doctors. Our society is anti-child, and this is why so many children are in burnout.

Starbucks is a multi-billion dollar company. Their CEO made 6,666x what the average barista made last year. It’s time for them to get serious, finish negotiating a strong union contract and invest in @sbworkersunited.org baristas who power their profits.

Be sure you take a moment today to remember Charlie Kirk for exactly who he was.

Absolute disaster for my neighborhood and another botched job by this dumpster fire mayor. Keeping Nicollet traffic slow for the small businesses that thrive here should’ve been the priority. Patio and pedestrian life just got louder and more dangerous north of Nicollet.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

This guy is bonkers. Just goes to show how high up these types are in institutions across society. Masks off.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

Mass resignations now, please! Come on Dems, this is collaboration.

We deserve a city that ensures everyone’s safety by investing in communities, preventing harm, and making sure that when people call for help, they get the help they need. We have everything we need to get this done – with the right principled and accountable leadership, we can do it together.

I am proud to be endorsed by Attorney General Keith Ellison. His steady leadership in the AG’s office is a model for what I plan to bring to the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office. I look forward to making our communities safer, together.

fiery speech from dewayne davis addressing dinner du nord, looking at photos of who was at the table and not recognizing the mayor’s friends from when he goes to the food shelf, contrasted with the encampments and shootings, who is being invited to the table? dewayne the pastor in full effect 🔥

The encampments that our city has seen are a reflection of our leadership’s failing to adequately care for our neighbors. The folks living in encampments are human beings who are hit by the worst of our city’s crises: hunger, housing instability, mental and chemical health issues, and violence. 1/

John Wall gets worse. As Robin notes in this thread, his counterclaim states: “Wonsley, who is black, seeks to play a race card for sympathy and political gain.” Says Wonsley, “Nothing in our complaint mentions my race.” What a despicable person Wall is.

Jacob Frey’s answer to everything in this city is FENCE IT AND FORGET IT.

This Thursday, @michaelforparks.bsky.social and I will have our first hearing related to the complaint we filed against a landlord in Ward 2 who has weaponized access to renters in their building.
