This gets brought up in every staff meeting

I finally listened to Davis Moturi's harrowing account of racist harassment and attempted murder by a neighbor. It's unbelievable that no one has been held accountable for the awful treatment he received by the police department, Chief O'Hara, and Mayor Frey. Please listen.

Instead of nonsense from this terrible mayor, he can learn from @dewayneforminneapolis.com who is about to hold his SECOND event at Bichota Coffee on June 1st. The first was back in November, and we are circling back again. Come hear how Minneapolis will be better. www.mobilize.us/dewayneformi...

Friends, please subscribe to Racket! They are funny and fun and no bullshit and they have great articles about breakfast sandwiches and tacos and beer and stuff, and also have a Friday Freeloader article that tells you free things to do every weekend!

I offer my full support to @taylr.bsky.social & @wedge.live in the face of these frivolous complaints from a candidate who is well-resourced and well-connected enough to know better. Taking legal action against local journalists & promoting conspiracy theories about them is a dangerous escalation.

I stand behind my colleague, friend, and occasional pretend employer @wedge.live in this matter. Attacks on the free press should be beneath a candidate for City Council. Also I am honored that my first appearance in a campaign finance complaint was in such a spectacular fashion.

I’m proud to be representing Taylor, John, and WedgeLIVE! pro bono in these matters. In my opinion, Becka Thompson is abusing the legal process to harass, intimidate, and suppress her critics.

I talked to Eagan native Eva Erickson today about what it was like competing on Survivor, the friends she made and her decision to reveal her autism: "autism is not something wrong with you, but it is something that is special and unique, and it makes you who you are"

Five years ago, I was injured at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department during the uprising for justice following George Floyd’s murder. I lost my eye—but not my vision for a future without police violence.

There is a gofundme to support the staff who might be out of work for months. It’s the best part of Midway. I hope the recovery happens quickly www.gofundme.com/f/Support-Gr...

I’ve been to Bichota literally dozens of times. They have some of the absolute kindest and best staff anywhere! I’ve also had multiple work meetings there. I’ve never had to walk more than a block to get there if I drive.

Black-owned, pro-union businesses deserve so much support

Meanwhile, today in Bichota’s feed, a clap back

I don’t think everyone realizes that SNAP cuts are gonna fuck with ag/farmers, especially the small ones that aren’t corporately owned. (The starving kids part is really bad too obviously, but I wanted to point out a ripple effect.)

sure the president wants to kill me but what worthwhile person in the last 236 years has that not been true of

Pride Month is coming up and we're going to be kicking it off with joy, community, and purpose! I hope you'll join me for Together in Pride: A Pride Month Kick-Off Rally – we'll be celebrating our LGBTQIA2S+ neighbors and recommitting to making Minneapolis a safe place for all of us to thrive.

As we approach the 5th anniversary, we honor the tradition of transparent bullshit MPD press releases.

The failure of formal journalistic outlets in the Twin Cities to credit folks doing journalism in their spare time, of their own accord, for little-to-no money, is something I've been thinking a lot about lately! For reasons!!

i understand everyone is upset but keep the actionable threats offline and keep any HRT logistics talk quietly on whisper networks (Signal) where journalists and the stasi can't see

So much “well actually” on here today… It’s ok to let people grieve. You don’t have to quibble to feel like you have moral superiority.

The fascist win if you lose your compassion for other people. That's part of the war. You have to keep compassion.

Cis Americans, if you do one single thing today please let it be to contact your representative. You have no idea how many US trans people I follow who are freaked the fuck out And for everyone else, if America does it, your country will use America as an example of how they can do it too. Speak up

This story isn’t about the current DEI panic. It’s about the enormous financial pledges Minnesota companies made in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, and whether or not they’ve followed through as the sociopolitical culture around diversity has reversed course.

Please help my friend Junail. She has struggled with homelessness in the past and is an organizer here in Minneapolis. This one's pretty time sensitive, we're all pretty anxious about it 💕💸

I wrote about my frustrations with the police chief pretending he hasn't been given a blank check. And how we seem to have forgotten that we changed the government structure to draw clear lines of authority from the mayor to almost everything.

Oh look, another cis lesbian assaulted for using the women’s bathroom. I’d like to send a gigantic fuck you to every lesbian TERF who helped create this situation www.outsports.com/2025/5/21/24...

Let’s fucking gooooooo

"Why haven't you done it yet?" Just get it in place instead of all of this "we are working on it" nonsense. It's been years.

Florida police used ICE to arrest nearly 100 sex workers, boasting about the number of immigrants caught. The "human trafficking sting" turned up no actual human trafficking, but in a perverse twist, ICE can now abduct and traffick said "victims" to who knows where, for who knows what.

Here is the statement my office sent out on the Trump administration moving to end the Federal Consent Decree.

Park Board District 4 candidate list in flux recently. Jason Garcia is in. Conrad Zbikowski joined the race last week, shortly after Jordan Leick and Jody Wynen dropped out. Andrew Gebo never left us.
