“We are going to transform this city,” Aisha Chughtai said during Uptown Porchfest. “F*** Jacob Frey, f*** fascism and f*** Donald Trump.”

Hey any reports on Rev Jerry McAfee getting considered for another contract? After being homophobic in the council chamber to CM Chavez’s face? Or just civility police as long as it’s not a Frey ally?

If Frey wins, that was very childish of her because we would like our Democrat politicians to at least pretend to work with other Democrat politicians. If Frey loses, then this is very very funny ....

He's been endorsed by Tim Walz and other Democrat politicians ...

Interesting that many of his supporters and delegates have recently called for the abolition of the DFL, or at least the Minneapolis DFL.

They filed a formal challenge to the state DFL. How do you get "abolition" out of that?

Millard's denial that she is aligned with Frey is laughable. She is endorsed by the same PACs as Frey and has raised tens of thousands of dollars from his donors (much of which she's wasted on decorating her very temporary campaign office). She's the Frey candidate.

Here 4 ratio. thank you for reminding us how kickass Council Vice President Chughtai is 1. Saying fuck is cool 2. everything she said was correct. 3. decorum is just a way for fancy folk to tone police the rabble 4. Idgaf if the fragile boy mayor cries, he views my unhoused neighbors as garbage
