@dewayneforminneapolis.com at tonight’s forum “Home Health and Hope” for 205 candidates for Minneapolis Mayor. DeWayne talking about the values he will bring as a Mayor to how the city should address the crisis in unsheltered homelessness. We deserve better. Strong principled effective leadership

y'all my girlfriend flies in from michigan on monday and i am unbelievably excited

today, chughtai supported us at the launch of our tenants union and cashman strongly advocated for the stop slumlords ordinance. fitterer wants these two city council members gone so badly he intervened from his mansion in california.

It was great to hear the breakdowns of all the various park board races on this episode of Mill City Hall. I definitely enjoyed listening. My only quibble- I’m nonbinary and use they/them pronouns. millcityhall.com/episodes/202...

troy a peterson was invited to the home, health, hope mayoral forum happening tonight being put on by clare housing and other orgs included outfront, jewish community action, open arms, ayada leads, aliveness, too many to name but he has a name plate onstage. glad i didn't go! why invite this guy?

Traffic laws are now photo-enforced in the City of Mpls. Five traffic safety cameras were placed on accident-prone streets and will now issue tickets for speeding - $40 or $80 depending on the speed. This is a step towards encouraging behavior change to slow down drivers and keep our city safe.🚦

There are 160 tier 3 rental licenses in Minneapolis covering 2260 units. It takes a lot of effort at being a slumlord to get a tier 3. You have to rack up a lot of violation points. Problem is the current process to renew involves simply paying extra for the license.

i DEEPLY hate the term. it's patronizing, it's a stupid euphemism, it plays into the transphobic notion that cis people are humoring us, it's epistemological oppression to avoid saying the word trans, 90% of the shit cis people do isn't called "gender affirming", etc it's fucking trans healthcare.

in whittier now for the IPG tenants’ union press conference beginning shortly on blaisdell ave

Hey Minneapolis friends, it's the last day to make comments on the comment map for the Lyndale Ave "final" concept design. Tell the County what you think about a shared use path and two ~12ft parking lanes along most of the corridor.

Probably going to lose my apartment. Probably going to lose my car. Delivery hasn't been paying much (oversaturated). Interviews going nowhere and getting ghosted by recruiters. If anyone can help out: $danirockasota V: djamiempls www.paypal.me/danirockasota

Chair Osman is introducing the STOP Slumlords ordinance. As a co-author with Robin Wonsley (who just joined as a non-member of the Committee), he talks about how it has impacted his constituents. Katie Cashman is apparently joining as a co-author, says this is limited to just Tier III properties

i’m at the city council BHZ hearing for the STOP slumlords ordinance with fellow council meeting frequent flier @dansuitor.bsky.social

Minnesota mutuals!

I have posted an update to my website on what has happened with the Feminist Caucus and the DFL in general so far and explaining why I'm still trying to have faith in this party: www.dexanderson.com/writing/rust...

cis folks don't really, *truly* grasp how this ever-present specter affects our ability to do other things i've tried explaining to my mgr at work how it's difficult to focus when i'm constantly planning my escape and the reaction i mostly get is "well, don't follow the news" GEE, I WISH I COULD 🙃

transphobic cis gay men are worse than transphobic cishet men like at least the transphobic cishet mfs have a consistent worldview

my internet is still down 🙃🙃🙃

No, it's the same guy; they borrowed him from Freedom to Marry just for that. Here's a more detailed thread about what happened. I didn't name Richard but he was definitely the person who tried to kill my story to try to skirt the bathroom issue. bsky.app/profile/zack...

twin cities peeps please keep a lookout for this bag, or the stolen art & elecronics that it contained

Forget young, trans, or DSA folk: how is the DFL gonna do with Somalis when they appear to be visibly anti-Fateh?

The Minnesota DFL is hosting a Listening Tour in areas across the state. They're coming to Minneapolis on November 13 at 6:30 PM, at the Minneapolis Central Library. www.mobilize.us/dfl/event/83...

The state DFL overturning the Fateh endorsement and the state DFL tolerating the transphobia in the Feminist Caucus are two examples of the same problem - party leadership is by and large out of touch with the values and principles of everyday DFL voters.

Political parties and processes only work insofar as they are able to maintain trustworthiness with their party members. The current iteration of the state DFL is not worthy of that trust.

This is all in the midst of yet another transphobia scandal, where trans and non-binary people within the party are either having our voices ignored or, in the case of Scott Graham stalking Sam Doten, harassed.

we need a dfl party ready to meet the moment we're with a big tent rooted in our values people want a party and candidates they can vote for not just a boogeyman to vote against unfortunately I'm not seeing a dfl party to vote for let's change that. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

EVERGREEN!!!!

the minnesota DFL SEC:

DFL Chair Richard Carlbom took the endorsement of someone facing vehicular homicide charges. He refused to acknowledge the transphobia in the DFL Feminist Caucus. He supported the undemocratic overturning of Omar Fateh's mayoral endorsement. I'm incredibly disappointed with his behavior as Chair.

okay miss “I won’t apologize for my blatant transphobia” go to hell fr

this emphasizes how important it is for progressives, leftists, and our allies to caucus in february, serve in leadership positions, and ensure committees in the DFL make the right decisions

we are back in general session at the SEC. carlbom reads the question, has it been shown by clear and convincing evidence that an error occurred in the CBRC hearing? voting will begin

update on jason garcia - they are out of the hospital now and at home, but medical appointments continue, and they will likely require another surgery in 2026. please contribute if you can and share among your networks! we are at 94% to goal! www.gofundme.com/f/support-ja...

First day of #WeekWithoutDriving was a breeze. I’m glad MPLS is taking strides to make it easier to live car-free. This yearly event challenges us to put ourselves in the shoes of kids, elders, disabled and justice impacted people who don’t have cars and/or licenses. Join us!

apparently the construction company working on the street outside my building accidentally dug up the internet pipe 🙃🙃🙃

I have to laugh or I’ll cry

they keep bringing up my guy without remembering he accepted the damn results of the convention!!! he actually had the emotional intelligence and strength to take the high road unlike our crybaby mayor

THIS. THIS THIS THIS. This is why people my age don’t want to engage with the DFL.

"we can't build unity on top of distrust and betrayal," says maraist. turnout across minneapolis is key to statewide victories next year, this decision alienates these voters

Happening now: League of Women Voters forum for Ward 8, at Lake Country School. www.youtube.com/live/dLzpkZf...

John Maraist appreciation post 💖

maraist says a few people could fit this bill, but CBRC member julie wicklund is "particularly striking" in terms of her own financial and family conflicts, like donations to jacob frey, all of mpls, and having an immediate family member who worked or works for frey's campaign

re: missing ward 5 books, maraist is holding them up. "i brought them in from the garage," these were never missing, yet the idea that they were was introduced as evidence. no one at CBRC or state DFL asked for them

this is so ridiculous 😭 why even do the pledge over zoom. so funny

follow taylr's thread tonight! it's a really important meeting for the Minneapolis DFL and the Fateh campaign

These scripts are GREAT and these calls are EASY and ESSENTIAL. Call your senators and reps today and tell them to vote against ANY bill that contains cuts to trans health care. #DidThisToday

It’s like if the fire department committed arson all the time but also managed to control the blazes

"I cannot tell you how impressed my staff were as you stepped up and personally escorted that tactical vehicle through the crowd." - Homeland Security Investigations (HSI is a division of ICE) Special Agent in Charge Jamie Holt to Brian O'Hara on the night of 6/3, revealed by @mplsforthemany.com
