I’m old enough to remember when the Republican Party in Minneapolis encouraged their folks to rank Frey for Mayor.

On Jan 7, 2026 six Minneapolis moms subdued an ICE agent, took his gun, dragged him down the stairs, tased and beat him till unconscious. He suffered a heart attack and traumatic head injury. Oops, my mistake, that’s what pardoned peaceful protesters did to me Officer Mike Fanone on Jan 6, 2021.

One of the all time greats. I have a Jason Garcia poster in my childhood bedroom.

I got to know Amber Frederick through my kids’ involvement in Project Success. I know her to be smart, principled, and engaging. I think she will be a very good Commissioner, and while I cannot predict the future, I’m certain our kids will have no stronger advocate at MPRB.

It’s a beautiful day in Minneapolis. I’m going to annoy my MPRB Commissioner by riding a bike

Markets down 25%, then recover 10%. And the whole world hates us. These are the worsted human beings

The Mayor got to have surrogate and himself address the 13-11 and 13-12 precinct caucus. Double-dipper

Apparently the DSA is causing the divisions on the city council.

Point of order at 7:10, 8 minutes into the Caucus.

I hope JPM’s feelings are not hurt
