Right now, Minneapolis can choose a different story than the one people are telling about us – we can choose to believe in the power of us. Voting is open now until November 4. I hope you'll rank me first on your ballot because Minneapolis deserves better.

Is it the humiliating clip of Trump that actually got him canceled.

"Jacob Frey is a deeply performative empty suit who literally runs away from hard questions. He’s also genuinely terrible at working with the City Council, terrible at collective problem solving, and terrible at overseeing the Minneapolis police" naomikritzer.com/2025/09/18/e... #DontRankFrey.

This is a good time to re-read the NYT’s profile of Nick Fuentes from last week and the far-right anti-Semitic, deeply racist “groyper” movement that appears to have motivated Tyler Robinson. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/u...

What would happen if in the midst of an authoritarian consolidation people started celebrating the authoritarian’s demise, (regardless of whether it was true). Not just an online frenzy and rumors but joyous celebrations in the street. Such a thing could be quite destabilizing. And also fun!

Powerful honest words here…

🌞This Saturday, Aug 23! 🌞 Come support progressive, labor & DFL endorsed City Council candidate @sorenwithward8.bsky.social. Meet some fab Ward 8 neighbors & help Soren's people-powered campaign win! See you there! @lfly.bsky.social @kevinwhelan.bsky.social @keepingitriehl.bsky.social

Elections 101: If you lose big in an endorsement contest that will not determine the election, you should remind people constantly of your loss with baseless accusations of fraud, have your power broker pals overturn the result, then announce "See, I'm not a loser. All the donors tell me so."

This is so beautifully and perfectly Minnesotan.

I was extremely proud to be joined today by @aurinmpls.bsky.social, Rep. Sam Sencer-Mura, and the excellent @taylordahlin.com as I filed to run for the Board of Estimate and Taxation. A brighter future requires a strong budget. Learn more and donate here: ehbforbet.com

Our unsheltered neighbors need compassion and resources, not to be pushed to margins so they remain out of sight. We deserve a Mayor who will be honest with us about the scope of this crisis and will treat our unhoused neighbors with respect and dignity.

Powerful work assembling the facts and voices and making the case--that Trump indeed has a great deal to hide.

Read this very carefully: *One quarter* of all the people who have died of starvation in Gaza over the past 22 months have died in the past *3* days.

After I lobbed a Bluesky grenade at @minnesotareformer.com editor JP Coolican, he invited me to write about the Minneapolis DFL mayoral endorsement & its possible significance: minnesotareformer.com/2025/07/24/t...

What's this? A clear-headed analysis of the convention from a candidate? One that honors the results, the work of the candidate who won, AND the work of the delegates. One that moves us forward into the work of doorknocking and campaigning? Here for it, & I am here for @dewayneforminneapolis.com.

Since Saturday’s convention, many people have reached out to ask if I will be challenging the DFL endorsement. I want to be clear: I will not challenge the endorsement and will not collaborate with those who are challenging the endorsement.

Can everyone share this?

Good article

ok lmao which one of you did this mamdanitimes.com

This is a great opportunity to meet all of the better than our current mayor candidates!!!

In Minnesota, a white nationalist who had been appointed to a bipartisan state committee thought our most famously consensus seeking across the aisle reaching DFL rep was too leftist to live. Literally. We are not living in normal political times.

She is talking about us Minneapolis

This is it.

Remember that OH NO! feeling you had when DeWayne temporarily suspended? If you felt that, you should donate today! Jacob’s got rich suburban Trump donors. If we want people to run against him, we have to give our money and time. It’s going to take all of us to beat his corrupt machine! Donate ⬇️

Wow! Great video. welcome back DaWayne. So glad you are in this race.

"Do you want America to be at war with Iran?" No: 85% Yes: 5% YouGov / June 22, 2025

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

If you have the ability to give, there is a GoFundMe for the Hortman children to cover funeral expenses and home repairs. (shared by a reliable source connected to the family)

sitting in a work meeting as everyone talks about the speaker and did a little doodle. good to be in spaces today where people understand her impact

This is a great post capturing the critical role Speaker Hortman played in engineering the 2023 Minnesota miracle.

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

This was the first test. Armored trucks, masked men, long guns in the heart of our city. It’s dark times folks and Frey just showed us he has no intention of protecting us. The stakes are very high. We need a new mayor.

A militarized and masked raid involving ICE, aided by the MPD, and with multiple federal agencies that refuse to tell the press why they were there or who they were ... is still actually pretty blatant fascism. Regardless of what they tell the mayor the raid was about later.

What if, instead, the mayor swallowed the ICE line and blamed an opponent for criticizing fascism?

When things were in chaos on East Lake St today, three mayoral candidates (not people who currently hold that office, people running for it) showed up to help. All three are Black men who probably have a healthy fear of militarized police. But our strong mayor, shrouded in privilege, did not.

Everyone needs & deserves healthcare-no exceptions! The deal #MNLeg leaders made to cut immigrant Minnesotans from MNCare won’t save $ but will mean our neighbors will get sicker & die. Call @governorwalz.mn.gov NOW to tell him to reject this deal 651-291-3400 W/@seiumn.bsky.social @isaiahmn.org

It’s been [ 34 ] days since the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ordered the White House to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Our crew of Ward 8 leaders from @faithinmn.org showed up strong today to support @sorenwithward8.bsky.social and an affordable, dignified city for all! Congratulations Team Soren on winning the DFL endorsement! Let’s go win in November! 💪🏼

Felt great to participate in democracy with 300 neighbors today. Soren is values driven, listens and does his homework. His decision to make meaning of his experience as a survivor of police violence through serving others is powerful. He’s gonna make a great council member. Let’s go!
