Life-long Nordeaster (Mpls). Many years working in social services & mental health; Proud Progressive DFL ‘er. Former Mpls School Board Member.
Mayor Frey’s attempt to hide homelessness didn’t solve the issue. In the last 30 days, Hennepin County found 271 unsheltered residents. Mpls makes up 85-90% of Hennepin’s unsheltered count. That’s roughly 240 people, not 27 like the mayor has claimed. startribune.com/minneapolis-ho…
You know if Payne's central point is "wealthy elites wield too much power in Minneapolis politics," I'm not sure the former CEO of the Downtown Council is the best person to refute that point. (1/2)
Steve Cramer's response to Council President Elliott Payne's opinion ("Minneapolis doesn’t have a strong mayor, it has strong donors") should include a disclaimer that Cramer is a board member of the Frey-boosting PAC of megadonors at "All of Mpls." startribune.com/counterpoint-i…
There were 800 delegate slots for the convention so this undeniably shows there was a quorum. This vote also took place after we raised our badges for Mayor so there were easily over 500 delegates on the floor when Fateh was endorsed. The question of quorum can be put to bed now.
Results for @MinneapolisDFL endorsement of candidates for Park Board At-Large. Congratulations to our endorsed candidates!
#TIME4UNITY: Both sides in our city must recognize the unique & valuable contributions of the other. Young DSA-types provide energy, activism, & idealism we need to keep striving. Old school DFLers provide the anger, resentment, & cash needed to crush that first faction to dust.
What made me stay for hours & hours was the Walking Taco, the Ice Cream (that needed more chocolate sauce), and the great people I talked to.
How much money did Minneapolis dfl spend on that ridiculous convention? How much did candidates spend organizing for it? How much did I spend on Target Center food, drinks, and ice cream? These are big numbers my wife will never find out about.
The thing you have to understand about the Zohran win is it wasn't one thing that won it It was a state of the art field campaign in over a dozen languages It was an incredible digital comms effort that introduced so many to Zohran It was the combined forces of wfp and dsa…
Sheriff Witt, Chief O’Hara, Mayor Frey, please figure out how to NOT allow Armored Trucks in our city . Our city has been traumitized. We do not need to have military -style tactics when conducting a law enforcement action.
Why are the supposed moderate Democrats more concerned about DSA than about the Republican influenced/funded PAC’s All of Minneapolis and We Love Minneapolis. I personally don’t want be connected to anyone linked to MAGA.
Join me to celebrate our DFL endorsement and kick off the next phase of the campaign! See you Monday at Pilllar from 6-8 PM. RSVP: forms.gle/n1fY5cop3Jriuv…
He is evil on so many levels.
Stephen Miller: "Children will be taught to love America. Children will be taught to be patriots. Children will be taught civic values for schools that want federal taxpayer funding. So as we close the Dept of Education and provide funding to states, we're going to make sure…
It takes 20 + people to organize and implement a Mpls. Ward Convention. Thank you to the volunteers who showed up to help put on the Ward 1 DFL Endorsement Convention. Thank you to the 200 + Delegates who showed up on a Sunny Saturday to endorse a candidate.
Totally agree!
We need light rail in Northeast Minneapolis! There's definitely the density to support it, and it shouldn't be the only side of Minneapolis that doesn't have light rail.
Thanks to all the people who showed up at the Ward 1 Caucus - volunteers, participants, conveners, campaigns, and candidates! Democracy is alive and flourishing in NE & SE Minneapolis. We survived another one!
Do you really think any true Democrat approves of Elon Musk’s current role and influence in our Government. Be serious.
Objecting to his initiative is one thing, but calling @ElonMusk, a US citizen who’s built some of the most innovative companies in world history, a “South African nepo baby”, is a great way to lose even more Democrats.
New data released by the City shows what our neighbors have been saying for years: encampment sweeps don’t work. In 17 encampment evictions by the City between July 25th and December 18th, only 9 of the 227 unsheltered residents displaced found their way into a shelter.
No more playing footsies with Republicans at the National Level or Local Level. We are in a fight for Democracy and our Constitution. You can’t partner and achieve Bi-Partisanship with the current Republicans - they no longer seem to believe in Democracy or our Constitution.
It's more important than ever to get involved in local politics. Not sure what you can do? Come chat with me on Saturday and let's figure out how you can claim your power this election year! March 15th, 10am-Noon at The Coffee Shop NE
Senator Klobuchar, Have Courage. Vote NO on the Continuing Resolution!
Personally, I am sad about Ben. Transfer portal stuff hurt our team. That factor is out of the coaches control. I believe he did the best he could.
Mark Coyle flew back from NCAA Committee meetings in Indy to tell Ben Johnson in person instead of telling Ben over the phone or on an online call. Coyle flew back to the meetings at 5am this morning.
