Minneapolis Neighborhood Associations already have numerous nails in the coffin and this dilution of neighborhood identity over budgetary issues (caused by the city's divestment) will add another. NAs don't need to be amazing non profits, they exist to foster neighborhood togetherness.

You can see the back of my head in one of these photos. If you saw my face you'd see me in awe of an excellent orator, with fantastic credentials and most importantly a vision for the future of Minneapolis! A candidate worth ranking.

A big part of the problem is stupid people have been convinced by rich people that AI is God, when AI is closer to an automatic dog food dispenser.

Anyone else really liking last term Ellison @ward5.minneapolismn.gov ? Criticizing the strong mayor system, mentoring the other council members on what quasi-judicial is. Pure & unfiltered

The city council unanimously approved my appointment to the city's Capital Long Range Improvement Committee today. I will bring my passion, curiousity and thoughtful consideration to the critical work of this body. If anyone wants to suggest ideas about how I might evaluate projects, my DMs are open

Whether you like Frey or not, his politics increasingly rely on being an Anti-Council figure. We're very unlikely to elect a council majority of Frey loyalists. So if productive relationships at city hall are your goal, you wouldn't choose a mayor who's backed himself into this political corner.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop them from forming. Keep up the fight.

Minneapolis doesn’t have a strong Mayor, it has strong donors. Residents thought they voted for a single point of accountability, what they got was a single point of failure. Wealthy donors have taken over national politics, let's not let them take over locally. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

🚨Endorsement Alert: There've been times I've forgotten what his name is because it's so generic. But Tom Olsen (with an E) is a bright spot on the Park Board. Because this is such a low profile office, I want you to know as early as possible that he deserves your support.

So who is going to present me with a plaque for blowing the sidewalk before my driveway, knowing that my batteries would die before I could do both?
