RIP D'angelo. Black Messiah is a top 5 of all time record.

on MPR News, @claymasters.bsky.social interviewed Ilhan Omar about her Mpls mayoral endorsement, the ongoing shutdown and peace in Gaza: www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

More from today's initial light rail vehicle roll down the Southwest LRT route. Construction began in 2018 and Metro Transit says passengers will ride in 2027. Over the Kenilworth Channel, leaving W Lake St Station, arriving at W 21st St Station, exiting the Kenilworth tunnel.

Antifa allegedly (at worst) destroys property. ICE demonstrably (as a bare minimum) destroys people. But to MAGA this is redundant, since they believe “those people” are or should be their rightful property.

gel caps are for math autism, tablets are for train and infrastructure autism

the fact that there have been 4 or 5 separate documents compiled of reasons not to vote for frey over months now speaks to a distinct lack of organization. and a lack of searching before doing, which ultimately is what leads to this duplication of efforts and wasted time

For our community member involved at today’s horrific shooting-

Fateh for Day Mayor.

i’m at city hall for a presser by mpls for the many and their coalition

Pinning ceremony for gus! Vote @jason4parks.bsky.social for mpls parks!!!!!!

I have a new bit lol: if you're proud to own a tesla and think it helps the environment, you just might be a frey voter

I billed 8x time fighting Becka's bullshit cases against Taylor and John than Becka raised from her allies

Update: Becka Thompson has finally filed her campaign finance report, 13 days late. The report makes it clear that donors have largely abandoned her (except Brian Rice, who appears to have exceeded the maximum contribution limit by giving her a total of $800 in 2025 to date).

okay guy

On its face, this seems like a reasonable argument. However, when examining these types of arguments, they can fall apart when the policies that “divide” people are designed to help the people in need. Trying to help those with less should be a uniting message, not divisive.

no trans renter in minneapolis knows how to drive, all they know is eat hot chip, charge they phone, oppose policing, and lie

it’s always “what of the feelings of the transphobes?” and never “what of the feelings of people offended and harmed by transphobes?” why should the DFL risk alienating people who are pro-trans to accommodate dumb bigots? that seems like an even worse plan, but I guess that’s just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Minneapolis centrists don't sell out our trans neighbors challenge: difficulty level, IMPOSSIBLE

minneapolis took open streets away from our streets and will now be doing one less because of the city budget. but we are supposed to believe this wasn’t retaliatory for our streets’ work and planned from the start

as a round-about truther, yes. if the british can figure it out, we have no excuse. get it together, people!

Marvina lawn signs are here! 📣 Let your neighbors know you’re standing with a candidate who’s for the people not politics as usual. 💜 🏡 Putting up a Marvina Haynes for City Council sign is more than decoration, it’s a statement that you believe in justice, stability, and real community change.

The saying goes: "if you come at the King, you best come correct, but don't worry about it too much because in campaign finance court you get unlimited shots at the King."

“having your own personality doesn’t make you better than anyone!” - the most condescending, biggest martyr-complex-having person i’ve ever met

just a reminder, while Becka continues to waste resources in her foolhardy pursuits, she is in fact a CURRENT representative of North Minneapolis, and doing absolutely nothing for it. if that strikes you as wrong, I suggest dropping her a line about it (she does in fact read her own emails 😉)

Becka Thompson and Carol Becker are 0 for 3 and I just think that's neat!!

Happy Tuesday. Today's topics: -Is it just me or is everyone getting really soft and acting like every thunderstorm is some earth shattering event? -What era and place in world history do you wish we had more media set in? -What's the best time to wake up in the morning?

If you can’t support us monetarily right now, I totally understand! I’d also be honored if you sign up for my mailing list to hear more about our campaign, volunteer to help us connect with District 4 neighbors, or send a testimonial about why you’re with Jason for MPRB. www.jasongarcia.org/join

It’s my birthday! What I’d like more than anything is some extra support for our campaign to help the MPRB move away from the status quo and in a better direction for equitable, accessible parks and better conditions for parks workers. Can you pitch in today? secure.actblue.com/donate/jason...

super disingenuous to complain the convention was mostly empty without mentioning why that is: because team frey instructed it to be that way

Mayoral candidate Q&A from yesterday's Minneapolis DFL convention.

Gives me a chance to reprint my favorite 2025 tweet from a Frey comms guy

As @lynxwyze.bsky.social points out below, we need people viewed as the Letter-Writing Class to use their time, credibility, and privilege to fight for Omar Fateh in traditional publications. This general election could be high energy and low info. We cannot let the Strib set the terms of debate

Frey spin room is going all out to try to- 1) dog whistle their way out of a loss 2) cover for the fact that they didn't count delegates before leading a walkout 3) obscure the reality that delegates were willing to stick around for over 12 hours in a plea for better leadership

everyone I love is having a good time and people I hate aren’t!! yaaaaayyyy!!!!

WHAT A NIGHT!!!!

Live view of the emergency editorial board meeting inside Strib HQ

How will you work with city council? Davis: When we gave the mayor executive power we didn't disband the city council. They're not gonna learn about what I plan to do by reading the Star Tribune. If we disagree and I lose, I will not make them my permanent enemy.

dewayne davis points out the political violence last month was perpetrated by someone pretending to be police in response to a question about what they will do to ensure federal agents identify themselves when detaining people

Fateh: Some call me a socialist, like it's an insult, but what's scary about everyone having what they need.

omar fateh had a video message from sen john hoffman who is still recovering from being shot last month

Congrats to @jason4parks.bsky.social for becoming a lovable hand drawn character paid for by a union in today's Minneapolis DFL convention program.

support labor endorsed candidates like jason garcia and michael wilson @jason4parks.bsky.social @michaelforparks.bsky.social

If you want to tell poor people face to face in the real world why they don’t need to have nice things bc if we give them to the rich it will make them safer, i will personally bring you to a space where you can do this and i will probably film it

#OtD 18 Jul 1969 Black Panthers began the United Front Against Fascism Conference in Oakland, California, alongside the white anti-racist Young Patriots Organisation and Puerto Rican street gang-turned-radical group the Young Lords stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8997...,

Critiquing how occupied peoples practice self-defense is purely a function of privilege

aurin chowdhury says “if we’re going to get a new mayor, we can’t have a slogan that centers the old one,” referring to ‘don’t rank frey.’ asks that we start naming omar fateh, dewayne davis & jazz hampton instead to increase their name recognition. @aurinmpls.bsky.social would not say mayor’s name

I’m excited and honored to announce I’ve been endorsed by @liunamnnd.bsky.social for MPRB District 4 commissioner! Our campaign is built around people, and I am proud that the union representing MPRB workers is supporting me.

I love this question and it’s wild to me when other leaders limit their endorsements to just one candidate. run the table, people!
