Reupping this clip from an August 2025 episode of Mill City Hall. Please check out this episode.

No, we should call them homeless encampments.

The mayor’s press conference today was both disappointing and disingenuous. I have been sad all day. Homelessness is a housing issue, not a drug issue. Today we mourn. Tomorrow we fight.

Thank you for taking our feedback and correcting the record on this very important issue @dfl.org ❤️

In light of today’s heartbreaking Supreme Court ruling, A Bar of Their Own will be raising funds for Transforming Families tomorrow from 5-8pm 🏳️‍⚧️

While a lot of unhoused folks don't have substance use disorders, there is some overlap AND your housed neighbors also go outside high, so it's a good time to grab some Narcan, familiarize yourself with the differences between overdose and heatstroke, and keep an eye out for folks in trouble!

Rent control can help poor people keep affordable housing without meaningfully affecting housing supply

We are kicking off doors tomorrow! Schools are a shared public good, so it is important that we hear from every neighbor in every neighborhood! We all have a stake in our public schools. I hope together we can increase engagement & grow turnout across Minneapolis. Join us! 💜 bit.ly/DoorsWithChristin

It’s still a little odd for me to call them Commisioner but, I am incredibly proud to have @jason4parks.bsky.social’s support. There is so much collaboration that can be fostered with MPS and MPRB. I look forward to partnering with them to build programming that fully utilizes our shared space.

“if you can go and enjoy a drag show at gay 90s or the saloon or wherever, you also should be able to stand up for the policies that makes those spaces possible,” said city council member robin wonsley in voting to repeal minneapolis’ ban on bathhouses an important message for pride month!

So, Thursday is my Birthday…?! As much as I don’t love being the center of attention, I would love for you to join us at Waite Park to talk about your wishes for Minneapolis Public schools while we all enjoy cake and lemonade. Join us from 6-7:00 RSVP at bit.ly/Christin-BDay

See you tomorrow!

TFW you're on the back porch and suddenly thinking of fundraisers. Come out and join us on Sunday from 3-5, we'll have an awesome event and I'd love to see you. RSVP at bit.ly/mpls-pickle-fundraiser

Donald Trump’s worst nightmare⚖️

It would also help to get more proactively involved throughout the day. Jason Chavez 2/

This morning, a neighbor was kidnapped by ICE in the Corcoran neighborhood. The individual had his window broken into, and he was snatched from his car. It would be great to get more observers out today and, moving forward, it would help to be more engaged in your local areas from 6AM-8AM. 1/

What a great message to send to the families, students, and staff of MPS! Take yourself to Wayzata too and manage their police force.

asked how she plans to overcome angie craig’s cash on hand advantage in a primary, peggy flanagan says paul wellstone was outspent 7 to 1 “we’re going to have enough money to win. what congresswoman craig doesn’t have is grassroots organizing,” calling her “out of step and out of touch.”

Excellent op-ed on challenges and opportunities in Uptown, especially these points on the need for public leadership and public space. When private actors engage in harmful behavior like keeping space vacant, the city needs to step in. Otherwise we pay the price in lower tax base and empty streets.

they ask, who will be the wedge live of st. paul? charlie rises

i’m at minneapolis city hall for a press conference on brian o’hara’s resignation with council president elliott payne, minority leader robin wonsley and jason chavez, chair of the public health, safety and equity committee

What’s a BBQ without friends? Join @ilhanmn.bsky.social anmn alongside DFL-endorsed candidates for school board, @christin-with-mpls.bsky.social and @beccaforschools.bsky.social for a Summer Kickoff and BBQ! Saturday, June 6th @ 1:00 PM. RSVP for location: www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

jason chavez says mayor frey should explain why massive police budget overspends, the cases of allison lussier, davis moturi & mariah samuels, all failed by MPD, were not enough to stop him from bringing forward brian o’hara as police chief council is asking frey to collaborate

Many are saying this is actually the most consequential contest for public office this year.

This is also another indictment of Toddrick Barnette’s lack of oversight of MPD and its leadership. Minneapolis residents deserve better from leaders of such important public safety departments.

It was a massive error in judgment for Mayor Frey to nominate Chief O’Hara while there were active investigations into very serious accusations that had been rumored for months. This is what happens when you prioritize optics and political expediency over governance and accountability.

Some of us MPS board candidates, caregivers, & educators are reading “As Public As Possible” together; it’s sparking so many ideas! I cannot recommend David Backer’s book enough. Hear him on the “Have You Heard” pod here podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h... & here podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

the minneapolis families for public schools parent slate for school board filed to get on the ballot today: shannon gibney for district 3, christin crabtree for at large, and becca dryden for district 5 @shannon-for-d3.bsky.social @christin-with-mpls.bsky.social @beccaforschools.bsky.social

151 of the 775 books requested have already been purchased for kids to read over the summer! Here's what you do: go to this link, pick out a bunch of books, use the SUMMER discount code and choose "in store pickup" (@moonpalacebooks.bsky.social will get them to the school). Most are under $10!

Tomorrow Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, RFK Jr., Dr. Oz and other federal government officials are coming to Minnesota to supposedly announce a “major law enforcement action involving fraud”. We aren’t sure what this means but want to make our community is aware of this so you can prepare.

Great moment in the body cam footage where the cop shows up to the Food Not Bombs event and makes the mistake of asking a mutual aid group who's in charge.

hell yes commissioner

Every time people cite construction as a reason for small businesses closing in Uptown, I think about how the Minneapolis City Council funded a $900,000 construction hardship program that Mayor Frey did not implement.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ This would have been support for small businesses in Uptown.

Today is day 150 of the ICE occupation of MN. And residents of Minneapolis are learning that in the immediate aftermath of the murder of two of our neighbors, the chief of MPD was signing an agreement with the Feds. ICE and Border Patrol blocked investigations of Renee and Alex’s murders. 1/?

Hey I don't want to say too much but y'all all know and miss Dani - they have had a family emergency come up and need some funds unexpectedly. Please help if you can - $danirockasota V: danijamie14 #mutualaid 💕💸

I’m happy to report that along with @aurinmpls.bsky.social and @angelaconley.bsky.social, I was part of the unanimous vote of the Planning Commission to remove the name of Cesar Chavez from the Minneapolis street carrying his name today.

It was an honor to vote with @aurinmpls.bsky.social on this amendment. As the city faces deeper disparities in wealth distribution and the social safety net at risk, the city of Minneapolis needs every tool available to help our unhoused neighbors. Thank you for you leadership, CM Chowdhury!

Homelessness response is under Reg Services, which is overseen solely by the mayor. Council approval of department heads is a critical lever of oversight.

Thank you @teamilhan.bsky.social @ilhanmn.bsky.social for your support of public education and your belief in me. I am so excited to work together to bring new possibilities to MPS, and to knock doors together throughout Minneapolis!

My daughter is speaking on this call tonight *happening right now* alongside other student organizers 🤍

Hey! So @elitalksmpls.bsky.social and I need to raise another $2200 to feed 40 families this week. If you donate $50 or more and post or message proof, I will draw a bird for you. If you donate $100 or more, my son Micah will draw a bird for you. Venmo: @kevin-nye-3 CashApp: $RevKev

Hey friends, I have an ask. My good friend, Aaliyah, who many of you know from her work in the community, needs our support. In just a few months, her father has been deported and she has lost her sister. Every dollar sends a message: we see you, and we love you. givebutter.com/support-aali...

HCMC is too important to close. Sign our petition now and call on Minnesota lawmakers to create a dedicated revenue source to Save HCMC! www.careforhcmc.com

Food insecurity is an ongoing issue for our immigrant neighbors in the aftermath of the ICE occupation. Can you help @elitalksmpls.bsky.social & I run our food distro for the month of April? We’ve been bringing food and household goods to 40 families consistently since January. Venmo: @Kevin-nye-3

While we may all have quibbles with our local government, the notion that less democracy and less oversight will solve them seems dubious at best. I urge you all to contact the charter commission (see link in Josh’s thread) and let them know why retaining your city council rep’s voice is important.
