With all 9 MPRB seats up this fall, it’s time to brush up on what the Park Board does, why it’s important, and meet the DFL candidates. Your Parks, Your Vote Mon, Sept 29, 5:30 - 7:30 pm (doors open at 5:00) Martin Luther King Park 4055 Nicollet Ave, Mpls RSVP: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

We knew this moment was coming. Ward 12 candidate Becka Thompson claiming residence in a neighborhood outside her current park district means she's either lying or must resign her park board seat.

I've heard people wondering about ranked choice voting, so I'm reposting my explainer from 2021. The TLDR version is just rank your three favorite (or least unfavorite) candidates in order. But you can read this if you want a deep dive. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

the woman killed over north was being abused and MPD did not forward a case for consideration of charges stemming from an assault she suffered last month but people want you to believe mary moriarty is the problem? she can't charge if she doesn't get the case www.startribune.com/two-killed-i...

I always put Kirk in the death eater camp, not the fly-the-flag-at-half-mast camp apnews.com/video/flags-...

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys. Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman. There is no justification for this. None.

Minneapolis is full of people who care deeply about our neighbors, the health of our city, and the planet. Let’s build a city that reflects that care, together.

Is this the same Frey campaign staffer that brought national chain Dunkin Donuts to the Ward 9 convention, rather than baked goods from one on the many local bakeries? Rookie mistake 🙃

Krizter nails it again

Among the details in Seth A. Richardson's excellent, heartbreaking new Racket piece on the death of Palmer's Bar: owner Sarah Dwyer wrote to Mayor Jacob Frey twice to ask for more enforcement of city code to help clean up the neighborhood. Neither letter even received a reply. #DontRankFrey

I had the opportunity last week to join John Edwards with @WedgeLIVE on a bike ride on Webber Parkway. We chatted about the election so far and about some of the biggest challenges facing our city. Check it out here or wherever you get your podcasts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBdv...

I’ve seen a lot of false information circulating in the weeks following the Minneapolis DFL convention. Some of it feels like reading Jan 6 voter conspiracy theories, so as the person who stepped in as head teller + audited the voting system, I’d like to set the record straight🧵

First posted a month ago, but worth reposting in light of the Mpls DFL’s appeal of the CBRC’s decision a few weeks ago

the minneapolis DFL is appealing the MN DFL’s decision to strip omar fateh of his endorsement. you can read the full appeal here - minneapolisdfl.org/updates/minn...

I was soooo excited to come on the @wedge.live podcast and talk city budgets! Perhaps too excited, as John points out early in this episode. Learn more about my run for the BET and get involved here: www.ehbforbet.com

I can't wait to join my fellow labor/DFL candidates for a joint fundraiser as we head into the final stretch of the campaign season! We could really use your help, so we can reach as many voters about people powered parks as possible! Event link: facebook.com/events/s/par...

I hope when Kevin Costner dies his obituary identifies him as “American Actor Who Portrayed White Characters”

Zines, flyers and buttons are available today at Insert Name Zine Fest, going on ‘til 6pm today at Squirrel Haus Arts in South Minneapolis! We’ve also got free rapid COVID tests available for you to take home ♥️

Hi there! We're neighbors in Minneapolis who are so excited to rank Omar Fateh, DeWayne Davis & Jazz Hampton for mayor that we made a zine about it! Inside, you'll find information about ranked choice voting, the candidates, & why it's time for change. Download, read & print: bio.link/mpls2025

“You enter legally, and suddenly, because of someone else’s whim, you’re illegal. It doesn’t make sense.” Trump is running the largest delegalization campaign in modern US history.

Breaking News: The Trump administration said it would conduct a review of Smithsonian exhibitions to assess their “alignment with American ideals” giving museums 120 days to replace “divisive or ideologically driven language with unifying, historically accurate and constructive descriptions.”

Remember how StarTribune reported that when the Dept of Ed was going to stop payments to Feeding Our Future they used their connections to Frey, then got a meeting with The mayor, after which payments started again? Oh, and then after the meeting they all donated the maximum to Frey.

For months, Mayor Frey was campaigning on his promise that the City would not cooperate with ICE under his watch. But when masked ICE agents with assault rifles showed up on the corner of Lake and Bloomington on June 3rd, MPD was on the scene to assist with crowd control.

If you've gone to a U.S. national park this summer, we want to know about your experience. Were there problems like overcrowding, cancellations or maintenance issues, or did you find things working smoothly? Please let us know in the form below.

This looks like an occupied, wartorn country, not the U.S.

Private insurers and state officials are warning of higher premiums and chaos in the insurance markets if a last-minute change to the House GOP’s megabill survives in the Senate. www.politico.com/live-updates...

I appreciate the transparency of this poll. The links inside the article give specifics about the questions & how they were asked. There is interest in a new mayor for MPLS. I hope a path forward will be forged by collaboration between Davis, Fateh and Hampton. www.mplsforthemany.com/polling

happy pride to all who celebrate, let’s all be insufferable this month

Reminder: I’m co-hosting a fundraiser for @emilykoskimpls.bsky.social next Wednesday 3/26. Frey’s campaign is counting on opponents having no money & we need to prove him wrong. (I’ll do @dewayneforminneapolis.com next; remember you get 3 choices!) www.mobilize.us/emilykoskifo...

Hands off our health care.

Roses are red Violets are blue

Thank you MYDFL for this endorsement! I believe that our city makes the best policy when we have young people at the table and their voices are heard. I am proud to be a Councilwoman who makes that happen, and am committed to continue doing so in my next term!

Truth!

Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD) has kindly provided this handy form letter that any US citizen can send to DOGE to request any records DOGE may have accessed about that citizen under the Freedom Of Information Act. jamieraskin.com/doge-privacy...

Oh my god. His change of mind, yes. His self-accountability, yes yes. AND ALSO his accent, his affect, his word choices, his outfit, just...all of it.

fwiw if social media is any guide, pretty much every single thing Zelensky says publicly ends with a thank you. Here he is thanking Senators of both parties shortly before he got to the White House today:

My brilliant friend @naomi111.bsky.social speaking the truth here

Mayor Frey has had a difficult time building a functioning public safety team in his second term. "Director of Minneapolis violence prevention department resigns"

Had candidate for mayor Emily Koski on the podcast to talk about tap water temperature.

Outrageous! This needs to blow up. They want to throw out 60,000 votes and steal the state Supreme Court election in NC!
