Would love to see some movement from Sen. Hauschild: www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...
Minneapolis is built on the asthma and cancer of our black, brown, and indigenous neighbors. We can't change what happened. But we can change what happens next. Neighbors, please tell @mayorfrey.com to at least, you know, meet with EPNI www.epnifarm.org/news/epni-st...
So would it be easier to just slap a water treatment center on the site that the City's neglected for generations? It sure would. But Mayor Frey, if you *really* want "opportunity for all residents" (as your campaign periodically says) then you need to show up, put in the work and stop milking EPNI.
And y'all, there's a whole book about how the City and it's ruling elite (looking at you, @dfl.org) created what by 1957 the papers called an "unofficial reservation" in East Phillips. www.upress.umn.edu/978151790480...
sold, leased, mortgaged, used, or occupied, nor any right thereto be granted, given, or permitted to any person other than to a member of the Caucasian race." mappingprejudice.umn.edu/racial-coven...
B20 to the west reads "This area['s] desirability is that it is near the Mississippi River and the Mississippi Park Driveway. Its ready accessibility to both St. Paul and the business district of Minneapolis makes it a desirable place to live." 1941 covenants read "No part of this lot shall be...
and D9 ("This is an old section changing from residential into industrial... Due to its proximity to railroad and railroad yards and heavy industrial area it is rapidly declining."). Those designation built on--and replicated-- the racial covenants that preceded them.
At the present time, particularly that area from Franklin south to 24th between Hiawatha and 11th Avenue there are many Jewish families residing. Much rehabilitation is required."), D5 ("there is a considerably large negro settlement."), C15 ("there are several colored families."),
The East Phillips urban farm project is in an area that the City zoned industrial. It is sandwiched between yellow lined C16 ("The type of population are mostly wage earners, small salaried and tradesmen....
Reviving this thread bc after putting off @epni-urbanfarm.bsky.social for months, at the last minute last week, @mayorfrey.com refused to meet them about the project that would actually begin reversing generations of environmental racism.
This is a @gerikatz.bsky.social appreciation post. In a tender time of a tender summer in a town still tender from 2020, I'm watching Geri throw in behind so many scenes to protect so many beloveds. Thank you, Geri. I wish you didn't have to, and I'm grateful that you are.
Or sure, have your guns, but you need insurance for every one of them, and the risk rating goes up the more ammo you buy
It’s the guns. It’s the damn guns.
On Sunday we were marvelling at short lines and also wondering if this was a soft-edge indicator (and having the same question about Twins attendance)
Come for the fundraising! Come for the birthday shindig! Come celebrate the dynamic northeast duo of @liam2manynames.bsky.social and @elliottpayne.org tonight!
Ugh. Sending healing and SPFed thoughts your way
And I legit forgot that I wear this nonstop until someone dropped the line. Thank you Senator @warren.senate.gov. Thank you.
Oh, just me with my "Nevertheless she persisted" bracelet making friends at the @peggyflanagan.bsky.social rally with @warren.senate.gov 🤩
Squeeeeee!
I’ll see you at the rally! Proud to be with Lt. Gov. Flanagan and Senator Warren on a fine Friday evening in Minneapolis.
Join me, y'all! Let's support our fearless Council President @elliottpayne.org AND celebrate the birth of our New Northeast leader, @liam2manynames.bsky.social!
Love my new @dewayneforminneapolis.com lawn sign. I can't wait to rank DeWayne Davis my first choice!
Yesterday, a colleague said "The apple trees do not know who is President," and the whole sentence was a poem.
Cosign, Ward 1 Resident
We see how Frey campaigns. It carries over to how he governs. Davis is demonstrating leadership and showing us how he’d conduct himself as mayor: with grace and empathy. Quite the contrast.
Minneapolis, THIS is the leadership we deserve. This is what it looks like to show up without showing off. This is why I'm donating again to @dewayneforminneapolis.com and can't wait to rank him first in November.
Worth noting that other than 3 Council Members and Sen Klobuchar, no other elected officials that reside in the city of Minneapolis have endorsed Mayor Frey. Notably missing, every state, every county, every park board & school board, and other federally elected officials. #RankDavisFatehHampton
YES! Elections don't end at conventions. Everybody's in!
Who is ultimately responsible for the MPD? The mayor and only the mayor. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...
still have my sign
Join me TOMORROW. We deserve a mayor who tells the truth. Who has done the work of showing up; not just showing off. Meet @dewayneforminneapolis.com Wednesday, July 16 6:30-8 @ Dutch Bar, 2512 Central Ave NE
All 3 are committed to working together with City Council to put the people first and to deliver a brighter future for Minneapolis. No matter your preference, please rank each of these great candidates. I have faith in all of them to lead our City and am proud to support them.
I am endorsing @omarfatehmn.com, @dewayneforminneapolis.com & @jazzformayor.bsky.social for Mayor of Minneapolis. Regardless of your order of preference, it’s crucial that you rank all 3 of these great candidates. Check out the thread below for my ranking and why I’m supporting each candidate.
So, you know #dontrankfrey but aren't sure who you should rank or in what order? Meet my first choice, @dewayneforminneapolis.com next Wednesday, July 16 6:30-8 @ Dutch Bar, 2512 Central Ave AND say hi to me in all my nerdy 3D irl splendor!
Good thing untreated diabetes won't, you know, quickly kill you 🧐
P.P.S., if you need more than 300 characters, pdaacjessica@gmail.com
P.S., photo for street cred. Cuz y'all, that was one month of one drug (I'm on a fistful) to treat the symptoms of a disease that I didn't have any behavioral risk for, but now that it showed up, I'll need to treat for the rest of my life.
Minnesotans! I'm a patient rep on a body that advises the Prescription Drug Affordability Board. We're trying to define "affordable" and my hunch is that you have stories of what is not. And of why getting the rx you need is about so much more than $. Tell me your stories so I can amplify! DMs open
If you cut healthcare to give tax cuts to the wealthy, you should have to bathe & care for the seniors, sick & disabled you hurt. MN’s GOP members represent rural districts whose hospitals are already in trouble. www.npr.org/sections/sho...
More of this, please
Y'all. Did you know what that in her run to be he next US Senator from the state of MN, @peggyflanagan.bsky.social is not accepting corporate cash bc she wants to work for *us*?? That's why *we* need to support her. Big or small, send a thank you to peggyflanagan.com
Debra and I haven't met, but yes.
Let's RVC our way to Mayoral leadership, Minneapolis! 1. @dewayneforminneapolis.com 2. @omarfatehmn.bsky.social or @jazzformayor.bsky.social 3. Senator Fateh or Jazz Hampton No one else, Minneapolis. Rank. No. One. Else.
May your mother's memory be a blessing that sustains you. We are grateful to have you home and for your clarity as we decide who we will become.
This is a lovely, heartbreaking piece from Colorado by a friend of the Hortman’s son.
Yeah, that's law talk. It's using the language of the statue to match what happened to the charges. It's also why it's hard to talk to lawyers.
I would like to huff this photo. Tina smith gives me strength
Sending validation and swear words.
Sending love and gratitude to every member of the #mnleg and their families. We can and should disagree. But not like this 💔
I don't, but I've seen some add simple syrup. I like mine with sparking water
Here it is: a treasury of ten of our favorite tastes from East Lake Street. So. Much. Deliciousness. (And this only scratches the surface of the street, it's an amazing place to eat.) Featuring the photos of Becca Dilley, the art of @wacso.bsky.social, and the writing of @mccronin.bsky.social
ICE-Led ‘Homeland Security Task Force’ Raid Draws Large Mobilization in Minneapolis - latest report unicornriot.ninja/2025/ice-led...
Thx, didn't know the timeline. Withdrawn.
It's almost like feds who hate mpls sent armored vans and paramilitary into an already traumatized corridor to serve a search warrant as a right-hand decoy to make sure neighbors weren't watching the left-hand body snatching. Imagine if we had a mayor who gaf about either.
That's a really good point. It's super gross that he didn't show up, but also it could have make it *a lot* worse if he did.
Idk who needs to hear this, but if you chunk up all that rhubarb and let it sit in vodka for a week our two, it makes a delightful end-times beverage.
So flipping proud of my Senator. Health care is a human right, not a bargaining chip. Period.
I just want to live in a City where the Mayor and their biggest supporters don't absolutely hate its citizens and their way of life. Mpls is home to immigrants and BIPOC folks and queer people and renters and transit riders and the Mayor and his people hate all of those groups to varying degrees.
Minneapolis police and Jacob Frey lie. Here’s what they said at a press conference today. Yet images from the very first moments as the feds arrive paint a very different picture.
My full statement on the federal action at Lake and Bloomington yesterday. Please be wary of those who are trying to downplay the trauma and pain our community experienced yesterday. These scenes were harmful and our city was complicit.
“If they want to inflict fear, and they wanted to discourage cooperation, they achieved both those goals yesterday,” Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said Wednesday in an interview with States Newsroom. minnesotareformer.com/2025/06/04/a...
Meanwhile, also MPD (governed through this whole reporting period and still now by section 7.3 of the Minneapolis Charter, which states "The Mayor has complete power over the establishment, maintenance, and command of the police department")
Guy who “spoke casual” about no-knock warrants. ICE was on site. Since city hadn’t filled info vacuum despite police being dispatched, everyone who went there did they best they could with what they had.
Ooh, and a gratitude note. To @jchavezmpls.bsky.social and Councilwoman Chugtai and candidates like @dewayneforminneapolis.com and @jazzformayor.bsky.social and @omarfatehmn.com for Showing. Up. Y'all are who we want to be.
10/10 Y'all, we're going to see a lot more of this as the people continue to stand up for neighbors. A law enforcement action will be paired with an ICE raid exactly so that they can gaslight us later and tell us it never happened. Who knows, maybe Mayor Frey even fell for that. But you shouldn't.

8/ Such gratitude for the Minneapolitan neighbors who intervened since our Mayor won't.
7/ last month pledged this City is a "safe haven." Recall this at 1:98? www.fox9.com/news/frey-sa...
6/ And a carefully worded statement that very strongly suggests that there was no ICE enforcement and no MPD coordination when there is photographic evidence of both is a truly amazing after-the-fact assist from a department and city directed by a Mayor who...
5/ "MPD responded to a request to assist with crowd control and ensure public safety." does not mean they were not there for other reasons or to support the ICE action-- I mean, clearing the street for one of course helps the other
4/ "Officers supported federal law enforcement in safely departing the area." does not say which federal officers, and if it was the clearly identifiable ICE ones, they actually *did* assist immigration enforcement activities
3/ "There were no arrests at the scene by federal law enforcement executing the search warrant." does not say that there were not arrests by federal agents *doing other things."
2/ "A federal criminal search warrant for drugs and money laundering was executed today in the area of Lake St & Bloomington Ave." does not say who executed that warrant and that there was not *also* an ICE raid (bc for real, why would ICE agents be there for a search warrant?)
1/ So. @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social and MPD released a statement suggesting that this wasn't an ICE raid *and* witnesses photographed ICE at the scene. How do we reconcile this? We see that MPD *didn't actually say it wasn't ICE.*
They *almost* say that. They say that there was a warrant, but they don't say that's the ONLY thing that happened. The litigator in me sees a VERY carefully worded statement
Bsky lake street restaurant crawl this weekend
Remember when this pic of Elián González was a national scandal instead of a daily occurrence?
City of Minneapolis said the same thing, but there is important context: bsky.app/profile/liam...
I want to make sure people know that the communications department, which runs official City of Minneapolis accounts, reports exclusively to the Mayor. In times where we need truthful and unbiased information, unfortunately this is something we must remember about these accounts.
I would really like to know what Jacob Frey was doing today that he thought was more important than showing up for his city.
Headed to the Capitol bc this is so far from what the #mnleg should be doing to shore up the budget for, you know, Minnesotans. @senatedfl.bsky.social you have the majority. Please use it. Join me! facebook.com/events/s/hol...
Extractive economies gonna extract. But that doesn't mean we need to subsidize it in MN
I’m trying to pass a law to ban the technology that allows people to turn regular pictures of kids into AI pornography and Republicans in Congress are trying to ban states from regulating AI. Not good
Olson mem highway definitely displaced both Jews and Black folx from Northside. And bc many covenant prohibited sale to Jews, that's why they headed past the covenants to St Louis Park
You do NOT have to accept this! Post on the public comments to pressure them to NOT do this! www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...
We're facing a structural budget imbalance and slashed federal funds, but a 2011 law gives $MM to corporations like Amazon and Meta for data centers that slurp our electricity and water. Time for #mnleg to think about what our MN values really are and repeal the 2011 tax breaks for billionaires.
All the brave trans people who risked their lives for us are losing their pensions automatically. Please repost this:
I'd thought it would be hard to quit. It turns out, I can get the same stuff elsewhere and just not pay the $25+/trip target tax for the rando extras, AND now there's less *stuff* in my house. Thanks for Marie Kando-ing yourself, Target!

MN LAWYERS! See you tomorrow, Thursday May 1 at the Hennepin County Government Center at noon. Our oath to "support the Constitution of the United States and that of the state of Minnesota" is nonpartisan, and now is the time to recommit. #LawDayMN #LawDayofAction
Congratulations, Councilman! Thank you for all you do for our neighbors!
Congratulations to @elliottpayne.org for getting the Ward 1 DFL endorsement with 82.4% of the vote.
When they called us yesterday and wanted us to support Strahan, we asked why we'd vote for a dude who lives in Ward 3. They... did not have a his answer.
MN LAWYERS! On May 1, the MSBA is convening attorneys to recommit to our professional oaths and the rule of law. Take a half hour to stand up for the Constitution. More info here: tinyurl.com/39nwtmwr
My middleschooler was excited to work on an anti-vaping campaign with their peers. Federal funds were withdrawn and now their work is down the drain. Thank you for making sure MN stays on this fight our kids' health.
