Duolingo's being surprisingly honest about the tech-bro agenda:

It’s important to understand that our mayor is attempting to stake some sort of claim that his response (not going to the scene, claiming he was asking questions and “getting the facts straight”) was somehow superior to his challengers, who actually showed up to help community members.

i’ve been sent this footage of an MPD officer on east lake st during the federal action on 6/3 turning around and shoving a person who was filming him

I want to gloat about how now all the worst people in the world have to pick sides, but, I mean, they're all going with Trump, right?

Yesterday, as masked federal agents armed with assault rifles descended on Lake and Bloomington with ICE in tow, Mayor Frey was nowhere to be seen. However all three of his main challengers were on the ground at Lake and Bloomington standing with community, showing what leadership looks like.

Two federal raids today in the same case. Lake Street in Minneapolis gets an armored vehicle assault. Bloomington gets the stereotypical agents in FBI windbreakers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G2q...

For 5 years, Mayor Frey, Rondo, Amelia Huffman, and now Chief Ohara have lacked control over their subordinates. They've bent over backwards to appease the rank and file. Raises, bonuses, allowing them to be Tesla vandal detectives, etc. They continue to pander to the MAGA rank and file.

i’m here at lake and bloomington where a group of protesters have gathered. officers with DEA and ICE patches have surrounded las cuatro milpas. video slow to upload, apologies.

They tried lie about an ICE presence. MPD assisted with closing off the area. This is completely wrong.

at lake and bloomington where ICE were seen. large group of angry people

Minneapolis Bluesky: Let's get ready to spend the next five months being extremely skeptical of anonymous accounts that claim to support one of Jacob Frey's opponents but whose only activity is propagating negative storylines about his other opponents.
