Mainly because the same CMs that feel we should be ā€œfocused on other issues,ā€ have not brought policy forward this year with their name on it to address their purported ā€œmore important priorities.ā€ Itā€™s just posturing without doing any of the work. Maybe better to write some policy, then complain.

But supposedly the Mayor is trying to push an absurd ā€œdouble negative vetoā€ reading ā€“ a reading devoid of logic and common sense, which would make a mockery of the charter and our system of checks and balances - so Minneapolis may be heading toward a constitutional crisis.

If youā€™re wondering how I got so interested in mutual aid. Part of the reason is @jason4parks.bsky.social! Seeing their initiative providing burritos to neighbors in need made me think of new ways to ā€œplug inā€ to my community.

We are so lucky to have Commissioner Garcia! Thank you for your support!

angie craig, go call some delegates! make plans to show up at SD63 or SD51 to speak this weekend because youā€™re seeking DFL endorsement right now

the party isnā€™t just state chairs, itā€™s people that make it up and itā€™s disrespectful angie doesnā€™t care to speak to us directly

Mayor Frey is attacking Jamal Osman for having the guts to make the hardest decision. A dilemma you thought only existed in memes.

whoever is making these videos needs to learn filmmaking 101 that jump cuts look really amateur when theyā€™re used excessively

like why, exactly, are we focusing on kristyn andersonā€™s lower legs and feet as she walks into a room? itā€™s so cheap looking for an official city video

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!

This is a very troubling signal of how out of touch the party leadership is with the base.

communications like this from angie craig now are gonna make it hard for her to have an anti party insiders and caucus & convention process narrative when she loses the DFL endorsement to peggy flanagan

You should have the right to view the exact unit you are renting before signing a lease. My bill ensures you can exercise that right - either in person or virtual.

idk, i think regulatory services is just as public facing and critical as public works, people just don't realize that department is traffic control and all the inspectors. their job is public facing, and their role is especially important for renters who have issues with their landlords!

Josh Martin and I know the most important thing happening at city hall today is the charter commission putting forward a ballot question to remove the requirement for a public hearing or confirmation vote for a handful of key department heads.

angie craig complaining about peggy flanagan on school board 20 years ago. ā€œrepublicans are dying to bring her record forward.ā€

the goal of DFL isnā€™t to run candidates republicans like. what is craig thinking with, ā€œrepublicans love my record the mostā€?

girl, we know! you voted for laken riley!

very bad news on a new judge coming to immigration court in minnesota - nathan hansen who has a documented history of right wing posts

This detail from the Strib story is true but irrelevant. You canā€™t double negative veto a denial into an approval.

If the veto holds, Barnette is neither denied nor approved. Itā€™s *Frey* who needs to find another vote to actually approve Barnette.

Iā€™m hearing that Frey vetoed the councilā€™s denial of Barnette. So the obvious question is - can he do that?

Technically, yes, but itā€™s a largely symbolic move unless Frey can flip some votes.

He did something similar before.

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago."

text based social media like this place and twitter is simply falling in general in engagement rates as video social media like tiktok rises in the last 7 years

But now he's gone from a judge, with all the power, influence, and respect that commands, to a guy who gets called in front of the City Council to get yelled at for alternatively not doing his job or doing it poorly. Wonder if he has any regrets about giving up the gavel.

there have been really concerning rumors for a while now, at least a year, about brian oā€™haraā€™s personal conduct. and that the mayor was warned about him

unfortunately this isnā€™t why the minneapolis rank and file officers are mad at him, but weā€™ll take what we can get
