Senator Gillibrand called on Al Franken to resign. I think she should resign for falsely smearing Zohran Mamdani as a terrorist. He has never invoked a ‘global jihad’. This is a nasty, Islamophobic racist smear from a sitting Dem senator.

Put this in front of every Democrat who voted to table impeachment. So much for caring about the troops!

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

The one upside of the Democratic and Media establishment freaking out about Zohran Mamdani? Once he’s elected they’ll just forget about all of that and roll right over! At least, that’s how they’re treating the last “existential threat” they identified.

We do not need a "left Joe Rogan." We do not need to throw anyone under the bus. We do not need billionaire donors. We do not need the coolest memes. We just need people who give a shit.

This article from the NYT is more antisemitic than anything Zohran Mamdani has said.

Hard to convince people you are fighting for them when you roll over so easily on this. This WI Supreme Court race was a national focus point for so many people. Who put time and money into it to try and get this EXACT case heard. This is why people don’t think Ds stand for anything.

Big issue I have with a lot of big publications right now: blindly reporting statements like this as if they were made in good faith and without any sort of agenda. But if you say anything critical of Israel or moderate politics? They will freely, and disingenuously, editorialize on your statement.

This is something I have been thinking about as well. Living in Ward 3/North Loop specifically. I feel like there’s so many young, left leaning renters that we can get out to vote and really get this thing done!

Everything else aside it has been astonishing to watch the parties roll out the red carpet for convicted felons and/or documented sex pests in the name of political expediency, and I hope this is the beginning of the end of that era.

My wife and I adopted a three legged cat from the humane society 5 yrs ago. She’s such a sweet cat and I would encourage anyone to adopt a tripod! Adopt Jeannette!!!

I keep hearing how “the courts will save us” and I am still waiting for that to happen. Consequences? For any of this? Would be sweet!!

When KSTP asked the City for data about how it’s enforcing the MPD consent decree, Mayor Frey and City Attorney Kristyn Anderson withheld that information from reporters. “The City sent us more than 200 pages of invoices with a large black box down the middle of every single page.”

The City settled my case on the condition that the video of officer Benjamin Bauer shooting me not be public. The City knows what's happening but Frey doesn't want you to know and he doesn't want to do anything about it

Someone let Pete Carroll know he doesn’t need AI to “interview yourself”. That’s just having thoughts?

It should be noted (for the sake of transparency lol) the city released the documents to KSTP a few days after they went public with their difficulty getting answers This does not mean I disagree with any of the messages below. We’re at our best when share the full story

A party that actually wanted to mobilize young and disillusioned voters would be studying Zohran Mamdani’s campaign like the Bible

Don’t Rank Frey. Don’t Rank Frey. There’s a ton of hope in Minneapolis. It’s possible to turn the page. But it’s going to require a lot of door knocking, phone banking, and contributions. They may have money but we got the people power. Seeing these posts today gave me hope. ❤️🙏🏽

Interesting strategy to use “theoretical” barriers to compliance in your presentation to City Council instead of real ones? That just makes no sense to me if the goal of the presentation is to reassure people that you’re following the ordinance/have the training around it as well.

Little to no clear, or concise, answers from AC Gaiters on much of anything. He’s either answered that he can’t answer or isn’t sure in response to many of these questions.

It’s notable to me that neither Mayor Frey nor MPD Chief O’Hara are present at this Oversight Meeting.

The “Training Gap” being: “…refine messaging to ensure officers understand…perceived undocumented status…does not constitute reasonable suspicion or probable cause…” That sounds like they aren’t able to impress on the PD that perceived undocumented status =\= probable cause? That seems really bad!!

Every post I see about Cuomo’s messaging just seems closer and closer to what we are seeing with Frey in Minneapolis, too.

Lake St Events Oversight Hearing is at 1:30 today. Anyone else going? Is there a stream? Wanna be prepped in case it’s too hot to walk. But it looks like it’ll be just a little sweaty. Not prohibitively sweaty.
