I know some folks were asking for something like this (@meshm.bsky.social iirc) So I made a quick dot density map of the first choice Minneapolis mayoral results. This allows you to see two things that choropleth maps can't show... umn.maps.arcgis.com/apps/mapview...

Scared New Yorkers of privilege, consider moving to Minneapolis, where capitalism disguised as wealthy white liberalism still reigns supreme!

The rank DeWayne Davis first then Frey second vote, or at all, is diabolically stupid 😆

And then after Locke was executed in his own home, Frey tried to pressure DeWayne Davis to come home & stand with him at a presser for political cover! Appreciate Brauer for sharing that part bc we still probably wouldn’t know about it. Honestly one of the most repugnant things I’ve heard in ages

Jacob Frey voters should be asked one abiding honest question, what thing would you hold him accountable for?

If George Floyd's life and death kinda sorta mattered, Amir Locke's life sure the fuck did not matter to the voters of this city. That is abysmal when you think of it.

Jazz voters: 43% Frey, 37% Omar, 20% blank Davis voters: 23% Frey, 62% Omar, 15% blank Jazz is about what I expected, surprised at how many DeWayne votes went to Frey Question I'll be wrestling w/ - why my fellow DeWayne folks trusted him enough to be Mayor but not enough to buy into his strategy

Thank you District 4, and the supporters who carried this victory! Once I’m a bit more healed up, we will definitely be celebrating this win- the vision of parks for everyone is something we can all share and bring to fruition.

Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.

well, well, well...

are you sure got everyone there @startribune.com ?????? this is beyond absurd.

I’m not saying my side hasn’t used profanity to respond to a Team Frey text but this guy manages Team Frey, which performatively fainted when Aisha Chughtai referenced the mayor this way. I call on Jacob Frey to repudiate this outrage!

Manager of Jacob Frey’s campaign *** ^

Also the manager of team Minneapolis has spoken

I waited to listen to this because I did not want to give this guy that much space in my head, but it’s a great recent-history reminder from Jesse and @robingarwood.bsky.social and @camgordon.bsky.social. (My schadenfreude got me through it.)

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.

If the Strib insists on having Andy Brehm, then I propose they have Taylor writing a political column as a counterweight because she brings such tremendous receipts.

here is steve minn telling jewish insider in may that he voted for donald trump three times. his company lupe gave $30k to safer hennepin. he also maxed out to jacob frey, shelley madore, michael rainville, josh bassais, tim peterson, and paula chesley this year

steve minn has said that he voted for donald trump three times, and his company lupe developmment gave safer hennepin $25k for them to send mailers calling for republicans to vote for jacob frey the media not writing about the conservative DFL / republican alliance this year is a failure!

Very much worth a listen as you prepare to vote this upcoming Tuesday. Even if you only have a few minutes, do yourself a favor and give a listen to some expert advice. millcityhall.com/episodes/202...

This Jacob Hill quote gives away the Frey team‘s true mission: to control the Minneapolis politics from the outside. Their motivation is not the betterment of Minneapolis citizens. Their profit-driven cause is about the full metro area economy - to help both Republicans and Democrats get rich.

“You know what the police officer said who took my sister’s case? Mariah didn’t seem like she was afraid enough. Her case didn’t have enough severity,” Hunter said. “In Minneapolis you can be pistol-whipped and it’s not severe enough for you.” www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Published my first Op-Ed w/ Professor Ed Goetz on how the national narrative about Minneapolis misses how zoning and market rate housing are necessary but not sufficient to help lower-income renters 🧵 www.startribune.com/twin-cities-...

if you cant believe the Frey Campaign and his surrogates are actively feeding their racist anti-muslim opposition research to Alpha News and End Wokeness and other right wing troglodytes, then you are a fucking idiot, perhaps willful

Jacob Frey, the sole elected official overseeing MPD, appears once in this article, in a passing reference to a letter sent to him by a Hennepin Co Commissioner.

If you’re thinking of ranking Jacob Frey, please google two names: Mariah Samuels and Davis Moturi. Frey alone is responsible for the inaction of MPD.

the thing the Star Tribune will not say, because they are Frey leaning if not Frey supporting, they won't say this is a glaring dereliction of leadership all the way up to the mayor. Review the facts of the case yourself, think for yourself. t.co/W66pGOACj3

oh just straight up gutter racism!

Frey dudes are really absurd, you as a voter should be insulted at how dumb and venal they believe you are too

Of the 234 complaints in the OPCR devastating backlog, 114 were closed after the intake stage of the case process. 120 complaints went on to additional steps, including 107 that went to a full administrative investigation within OPCR and 13 that went to a Force Investigations Team (FIT) review.

at the state of the city speech back in may, he said they were gonna clear it all too. this was so planned to do before election day bsky.app/profile/tayl...

the press release had no further info on these questions either

How many officers were disciplined? What was the nature of the discipline?

“Just trust us” as an official city post before an election in a city where residents have been lied to constantly regarding police is wild.

I literally laughed out loud. No link. No conclusions. Just a blank canvas where they say they did work. Frey administration in a post. Chefs kiss. No notes.

This is identity politics over material interests btw but it’s white identity politics so it’s fine bsky.app/profile/pete...

Reminded by the Mill City Hall podcast that it’s amazing that the Mayor’s tenure survived the after action report for the George Floyd protests

Strib Opinion when bad news about Jacob Frey hits

Be honest, you think if Fateh or DeWayne’s close friend ran an influential org was just indicted for stealing money from a kids justice fund, and tried to erase all the social media evidence of their friendship, there would be excessive reporting on that friendship? And all the PAC money therein?

Don’t you dare rank DeWayne Davis for leadership, integrity reasons and turn around a rank Frey. Motherfuckers be lying to themselves about their ethics, morals and values.

Takeaways from the @startribune.com CEO Steve Grove interview at the Westminster Town Hall Forum tonight.

They would like to discuss ANYTHING other than the Minneapolis Police and Mayor Frey thwarting and trying to defund our city auditor, one of the only flimsy watchdog for this dept under TWO consent decrees and multiple high profile failures in the last year.

Billionaire Bill Ackman calls Cuomo’s AI-generated, racialized anti-Zohran ad “a bit of humor” that’s “worth a watch”

Not very reassuring words from a man who runs a publication founded in order to provide a watchdog role against corrupt government and speak truth to power. Trusting Trump to “figure it out” is the height of cowardice + a total abdication of duty as a journalist. Honestly horrifying.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Mayor Frey created the role of Commissioner of Community Safety (the highest paid city employee!) so that stories like this never mention the mayor is in charge. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

we still dont know a damn thing about this police officer- were they fired? reprimanded? retrained? stern talking to? cursory glance? nothing? Police won't even acknowledge a tragic mistake. Deflect and deny forever, and yall expect these people to do good faith reform?

irene fernando’s questions to jacob frey that remain unanswered about mariah samuels’ case -

They haven’t had much to say about Davis Moturi either.

Any Frey supporter out there willing to advocate for Mariah Samuels and her family? This is a fundamental moral question that speaks to EVERYTHING about this election. (The answer so far is a resounding NO, they will not advocate for her because it would tarnish MPD and Frey)
