The landlord class couldn’t be bothered to help DFL conventions run. But once a brown person was endorsed who doesn’t align with their class interest they suddenly had all the money, energy, and lawyers in the world to “fix” the result. But this is a new era, and @omarfatehmn.com wont be stopped.

And historically, sweeps focusing on homelessness at this point on the arc of expanding repression in a country are *always* about normalizing the expansion of who gets detained en masse from foreigners to citizens.

This is the core of Frey’s corrosive governing cynicism. Council progressives called out the horse patrol (Mn’s only btw) in voting to limit 2024 tax hikes. Frey’s allies cried real tears, shouted defund & DSA, only to propose the cut months later. Yet lefties are decried as fiscally irresponsible.

Please share widely!

Got word Fateh won the DFL mayors endorsement

Have we gotten today's installment of Creepy Republican Sex Crimes yet? Going to be hard to top last week's revelations -- the Texas legislator who told his stripper mistress he wanted to jerk off into the batter for his kid's bake sale cookies was a stand out -- but I'm sure they'll pull it off.

There are occasions when white people should use our I DEMAND TO TALK TO YOUR MANAGER voices. Here is one.

Thank you to the family of Amir Locke, police accountability advocates, and Minneapolis DFL delegates for making sure the Mayor and Chief backtracked on their decisions that did not uphold trust, community building or police reform. It’s time for a new Mayor. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

“Jacob Frey is challenging the convention results using rhetoric that sounds less like a Democrat and more like Mike Lindell. He miscalculated the delegate count—just like his office miscalculated the count of our unhoused neighbors, when he claimed there were only 27 unhoused people in the city.”

So handsome. So snuggly. So completely bereft of brains.

Ilhan and her team did so much to help out with Ward 6. they helped me fund interpreters and document translations when I wasn’t sure how we were going to afford it. she is a champion of accessibility for all

I think the Commanders should change their name to the Washington Epsteins.

At a conference long ago, Adolph Reed told Edsall that he sounded like Pat Buchanan without the courage of his convictions.

Same. 1. Fateh 2. Davis 3. Hampton

People are still acting like not committing crimes matters in the US with law enforcement operating with impunity. This has been tested out in Black communities for decades.

A U.S. Army vet—a citizen—tear gassed, dragged out, and detained in an immigration raid. Gov. Newsom: “People are quite literally disappearing with no due process, no rights.” This isn’t just about immigrants anymore. It could happen to anyone. apnews.com/article/us-a... #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

Congratulations to DFL-endorsed mayoral candidate Omar Fateh! Minneapolis progressives, be ready to speak up - legacy media are going to try to tear him apart.

Fateh by a show of badges very clearly passed 60% threshold for endorsement. Frey campaign tried to deny quorum by pulling their people off the floor. This might really hurt some Frey aligned park board candidates. Engelhart and Garcia endorsed easily.

The City of Minneapolis under Mayor Jacob Frey will try to get voters to join them in playing every shell game with the lives of homeless people before facing up to the cause of homelessness, which is not enough housing. Not enough housing causes homelessness. Full stop.

The War on Gaza’s Children Without safe access to food, water, or medical care, survival has become a daily gamble for the region’s youngest residents. Isaac Chotiner talks to James Elder, UNICEF’s global spokesperson: www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

Poking around the "vision" and "priorities" pages on mayoral campaign sites for Fateh, Davis, Hampton, and Frey. Jacob Frey is the only one who doesn't have an issues page. Which confirms my sense that Frey exists as the opposing force to things you fear/hate, but not for anything in particular.

we could have had Amy Livingston running things here. Should have.

Legal experts and his own former city attorney catch Mayor Frey being full of shit. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

Proud of Canada for its achievement, while deeply, perhaps irretrievably embarrassed at any weight of sympathy our proximity lay upon judges' deliberations.

Scandinoir @netflix.com series "The Breakthrough" depicts an agonizingly slow murder investigation led by an Olympic-caliber race walker. From there the ironies compound.

Baltimore is doing what Minneapolis only talked about. All crime stat hypotheses are dubious, but these are specifically the type of non-police expenditures (rec center hours, summer camps, and pools) that can’t happen if the entire city budget is consumed by police.

Post your choice for alternate reality president who isn't President Whitmire from Independence Day.

Okra, like eating a slip-and-slide.

Kneecap is not the story. Genocide in Gaza is.

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

SCOTUS fracturing constitutional enforcement is just another reminder of how CRUCIAL it is that we re-elect Attorney General Keith Ellison in 2026.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Congratulations on your victory from Minneapolis, MN! Uffda!

If only the Atlantic had added devil horns to their doctored image accompanying Jonathan Chait's hit piece.

It's as if an unpopular candidate can't win an election anymore.

Not just truck nutz but 87 year old 5am swim at the Y with shvitz and shower and swing around the locker room like two tree-stranded parachutists in a windstorm during argument about whether guy who's absent actually got there with Raquel Welch truck nutz. #richfield #twincities #minnesota
