now that ive had a day to recover and accept how 2025 went in minneapolis, id like to share some personal thoughts and bright spots (1/)

Anyone doing analysis of this outcome and omitting racism is divorced from reality. And I don't think that's me coping. It's from having spent SO MANY hours listening to the All of MPLS people devise this exact plan to undermine him and living their underhandedness in real time in various ways.

Thank you, Minneapolis! While this wasn’t the outcome we wanted, I am incredibly grateful to every single person who supported our grassroots campaign. I’ll keep fighting alongside you to build the city we deserve. Onward.

no finger-pointing, no infighting. we lost the mayorship but there were lots of bright spots last night. we keep fighting for the change we want in this city and we will get it. get involved and be the change you want to see. that's what i'm trying to hold onto today.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: “Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community or any community out there has lost their sense of humanity.”

rode the new (almost finished) bike lane on university from the 35 bridge to oak street today. very very nice, its great to have a good bike corridor through the U without taking washington and praying i don't get sandwiched by a car and the LRT!! highly recommend

ICE would grab em

"When the donors don't get the outcome that they want through the party process, they go to a super party process outside of the norm to try to reverse the decision of the delegates," Payne said. "It's an extremely short-sighted thing to do, not just tactically but philosophically," he added.

asking the bluesky internet people instead of just looking it up (which i will do later), but just out of curiosity, does anyone know what is stopping a city like minneapolis from making utilities public rather than run through xcel?

Parked cars vs Outdoor dining in the same urban canyon ;)

today i washed my raw denim jeans for the 1st time. threw them in the wash. they're jeans. for centuries, 100% cotton jeans were worn by laborers that just washed them however & let them hang dry. i did it too. i know my jeans are strong enough to handle it. i am not anxious about my actions at all.

That elites have capitulated isn't a surprise — either historically or just by the simple fact that capitalists are inherently on the political right. Any effective resistance will come from the left. Centrists who don't consider themselves MAGA need to come to terms and make peace with that.

While you don't have to choose a 2nd & 3rd choice candidate, I hope you do, and I hope you rank @dewayneforminneapolis.com and @jazzformayor.bsky.social mayor in whichever order you prefer. #DontRankFrey Learn more: 🔗 www.jazzformayor.com 🔗 www.fatehformayor.com 🔗 www.dewayneforminneapolis.com

Minneapolis mayor who claimed he'd banned no knock warrants but didn't, making him directly responsible for the police killing of Amir Locke, is still mayor. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

It’s so dehumanizing to pounce on crime as a fucking campaign tactic. Like this guy is gonna hear “assault reported” and eagerly run around with pamphlets? Does that kind of person genuinely give a shit about the person who was harmed?

Spending $1 million to seem “authentic” is very on-brand for Team Frey.

When Frey talks about his belief that housing is a right, imagine how transformative investing $75M in public housing could be. When he talks about doing a politically unpopular thing, ask why it's never the unpopular thing for the wealthiest Minneapolitans.

Hey, I'm in there! Yesterday I door-knocked for the first time since Bernie 2020 and today I donated more to a campaign than I have to any other candidate for office in my life. I believe strongly in the @omarfatehmn.com campaign and I think that if we keep showing up and working hard, we will win.

Coordination between the City of Minneapolis and federal law enforcement in raids or perceived raids in our communities is unacceptable. Seeing MPD officers stand alongside ICE agents raised tensions and eroded public trust in our separation ordinance. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

After heavily-armed ICE agents marched into our community on June 3rd, instead of standing up to the Trump administration, Mayor Frey and Chief O’Hara blamed public officials for spreading misinformation. A report by the City Auditor found those claims to be false.

The Hennepin County Board of Commissioners is considering taking over some management of Hennepin Healthcare — which includes HCMC in downtown Minneapolis — as the health care system faces financial troubles. Some hospital board members say that’s the wrong solution.

Ppl who own million dollar homes in Wayzata want to tell working class Minneapolitans that their vision for the city is out of touch with reality. But the real question is WHOSE reality? When it comes down to it, what separates us from many of our goals is their greed.

had a great time at Mayorpalooza, hosted by the wonderful @dbrauer.net , good people, good conversation, new friends, excellent food, great strategizing on how to rank in the upcoming mayoral election!

minnesota ebike rebate window starts today! i just filled mine out, it took like 5 minutes and it was way better than last years, if anyone remembers that nightmare. link below. revenue.state.mn.us/electric-assisted-bicycle-e-bike-rebate

hennepin county commissioners are weighing taking back control of HCMC from the partial privatization it’s been under and restoring it as a full public hospital. they are meeting next week. this is a big deal www.startribune.com/hennepin-cou...

What’s taken can be taken back. Please enjoy teammpls.com #mplsmayor2025

Tangent: there are a lot of people like Menz in politics (local, state, national) who think they are “building bridges” but are actually enablers of bad behavior, and they see any serious, tangible change as “burning all it down”. I don’t understand how to get them to see that about themselves.

you don’t live here, weren’t at the convention and don’t know anything want to argue with people who do and were? blocked. get involved where you actually live instead of being a spectator for minneapolis, that’s weird behavior

A friend just got me this shirt in Taiwan. I love fake English so much. What is Minneapolis Energy? Why is Icehockey [sic] sharp? Is there dull icehockey? We will never know! New favorite tee though

After a weekend of Minneapolis DFL convention poster’s madness, I’m gonna try Occam’s Razoring this shit: - Incumbent mayor came in with a puny 31 percent - Challengers came in largely unified - Endorsement required 60 percent - Challengers had 69 percent (nice) to work with - Incumbent mayor lost

Taking a second after this win to re-plug my substack article I wrote a few weeks ago. After this convention went better than even optimistic Fateh supporters hoped it would, I reckon theres lots of hard work ahead from the candidate, his team, and all of us, but the path sure did get a lot brighter

First DFL-endorsed mayoral candidate in 16 years!!!!

Minneapolis DFL convention in a nutshell

courtside DFL endorsed @omarfatehmn.com

Funny, I seem to remember all the Frey supporters saying that conventions are for endorsing at our Ward 2 convention. Now they want no endorsement! I was told I wasn’t a DFL member when I wanted no endorsement in Ward 2!

sometimes ive called frey and his supporters conservative obstructionists and ive been told im being dramatic

Fateh campaign pitch to Davis and Jazz delegates to come on over. Being passed out now.

please please please please please

What an amazing world we live in. The QR code pulls up the right ballot on my phone on a rooftop patio nowhere near the convention. All I'm missing is a ballot code.

There's still time to act. Take action to keep the Twin Cities Boulevard vision alive. youtu.be/fepz3l2Tn8Q?...

I am excited to announce that @seiumn.bsky.social has endorsed our campaign for Minneapolis Mayor! For too long, corporations and big business owners have enriched themselves at the expense of hardworking employees. I’m running for Mayor to help change this uneven power dynamic in our city.

While Mayor Frey is happy to show up for a photo-op at a celebration, he doesn’t show up when it matters. He dismissed critical funding for LGBTQ mental health services as “yoga in the park” and failed to speak out against Reverend McAfee’s threatening and homophobic remarks in Council chambers.
