@NWSTwinCities @XylonXD1 Do you expect any rain near the airport this evening or will it stay south looks like north west of Mankato. Will that make it up into the metro?

7:15PM Update: Many severe storms continue across southern MN and western WI with numerous large hail reports and heavy rain. These storms remain in a favorable environment for tornadoes. Stay up to date at weather.gov/twincities #mnwx #wiwx

@mplszinnia @Dreams44 I was responding to him being hyper critical of a time when uptown was flourishing and his insinuation that because it had street level store fronts, that now is equivalent to a mall. It was a horrible take from someone with no lived reality of uptown during that time.
English
@toomuchSP @Dreams44 Uptown was bustling last night. And are you for real trying to go after him for the year he was born? Twitter is a trip sometimes 😂

I’d rather have modern uptown than whatever bullshit this is

Far left radicals: "Create an entirely new elected body just for police oversight."
Cranks on the charter commission: "Eliminate the rule that requires a public hearing and confirmation vote for key mayoral appointees."
Me, a pragmatic moderate: "Please stop"

@soupformy_fam Wait i thought Frey was in charge of public safety. Seems like the council holds the cards

Lol. Bye

Sources have told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara does not have enough city council support right now to be approved as top cop. A source close to the process said if the city council voted on Chief O'Hara now, his appointme... kstp.com/kstp-news/top-…

@ayanajsk @iaintgotnoalibi That same event included beating a Frey doll with a bat hung by string to basketball hoop while folks were laughing and videoing it. Classy event and one a DFL candidate may want to distance herself from.
English
@toomuchSP @iaintgotnoalibi The MPLS City Council ordinance - mostly DFL endorsed candidates - matches state law pretty closely.
I'm unaware of an event featuring an effigy or a bat. I did comment on the appearance of a puppet & am aware of an event that raised $5k for rent relief. mprnews.org/story/2026/04/…

Decriminalizing drug paraphernalia helps people dealing with addiction be treated as patients not criminals & increases comfortability seeking treatment. This helps reduce carceral racial disparities created by racist "War on Drugs" policies. This a step in the right direction.
Jacob Mauren@jacob_mauren
As Uptown is struggling to get a grip on open drug use and dealing, five Minneapolis City Council members are trying to decriminalize possession of drug paraphernalia. A real slap in the face to people who are already trying to live and operate businesses in the area.
English
@jacob_mauren Seems like a balanced and rational approach, where we could learn from other progressive cities that have gone through it. The far left increasingly feels like an echo chamber unwilling to even consider middle ground
English
Philadelphia has similarly not abandoned their overall progressive approach but has given up on the idea that you just let people sit around until they die. These Dem strongholds haven’t been taken over by Reps, they’ve just realized their 2020-26 polices were an overcorrection.
English
People are claiming my stance is “right-wing” and that’s completely untrue. Are arrests the whole solution? No. Does anyone buy that letting addicts openly use in public helps anyone? No. SF tried it, saw the results, and rejected it. SF is not suddenly a right wing enclave.

@iaintgotnoalibi @ayanajsk Fails to acknowledge a similar approach another major city took, whos policy is currently being walked back. Making light of an event which featured an effigy of the mayor being hung by a string and beaten with a bat. Im sorry but doesn’t instill someone capable of DFL leadership
English
@ayanajsk Cool.
The findings of those seems to be “decriminalizing drugs causes less people to go to jail”, which, yeah no shit
I trust the reality of cities we consider our peers who have tried policies like this and reversed course.
Why do you want to lead us to ruin Ayana?
English
@ayanajsk Stringing up a caricature of Frey by his neck and then beating it, while folks are laughing and recording it is an interesting event for DFL candidate to be opining on like this is some normal type of behavior
English
@SteveSubera @PioneerPress We’ve been telling you about how Carter bloated his administration if this doesn’t paint it more clearly I don’t know what does

@hipearlrose @jacob_mauren Pearl maybe those with different views then ACAB are in fact trying to materially help people. For all the shade Frey gets about his out of state appearances, a trip to Cuba under falls under the same pretense, and is equally subject to criticism.
English
@jacob_mauren not tone police (ACAB) but it helps no one to be pedantic towards progressives who are trying to help people’s material conditions. you come off like an asshole
English
Obviously two different folks but it is funny to see the same faction of people simultaneously try to tone police me while also dropping this in my replies.
English
@beef_sea They can direct funds but not activity, and even when they allocate funds they can’t really say where those funds are going

Public safety falls under the purview of the mayor not CMs, where was Sam’s spoon feeder and chief when these kids were shot?
Sam Schulenberg@sam_schulie_1
Four kids got shot in your ward while you were flying to Cuba with Hasan Piker last Friday. A 19-year-old was killed a few miles down the road the next day. You found time for foreign affairs and to belittle constituents on Twitter, but not to even say anything about it.
English
@zola_ellen @sam_schulie_1 You’re a proclaimed abolitionist, who doesn’t belive in public safety structure and yet here you are weighing in
English
@sam_schulie_1 If you’re Jacob’s campaign manager then you know exactly who oversees public safety. So you’re really just being a spineless twat. It’s clear, you don’t even care about those impacted by violence. If you did, you wouldn’t be using them as political fodder.

@DanGreenMN Hmm, wow. So suddenly, we’ve gone from “you don’t post on social media to my satisfaction” to “you don’t send newsletters to my satisfaction”. What’s the next goalpost I must cross for you? Hypocrisy aside, maybe you just don’t care if kids are starving, in Minneapolis or Havana.
English
@MatburnsTrees @NortonMpls @sam_schulie_1 As Matt said, we don’t need any more funding for police according to this council member. @nortonmpls do you even try with these reponses anymore or they just purely defensive emotional rebuttals
English
@NortonMpls @sam_schulie_1 I was told public safety is not a concern?
English
@HDtheTVman @ayanajsk @jacob_mauren You work in state level politics and talk like this? “Comparing newsletter sends like a dick-measuring contest”. Classy!
English
@ayanajsk @jacob_mauren You lose a lot of credibility believing that the DFL nomination process was on the “up & up” & that there were no inconsistencies surrounding it.
The citizens of Minneapolis voted & they did not vote for your candidate. It sucks, I know, but Minneapolitans spoke at the polls.
English
It's not about ideology. It is a factual statement that the state DFL lost credibility by overturning that endorsement. State fair visits to the DFL booth revealed that last summer.
Jacob Mauren@jacob_mauren
The 2025 Minneapolis convention is a great litmus test to see if people are really able to but the Democratic process over ideology and a remarkable amount of people have failed that test.

@BokononsProphet Cop bar, that is a classic take from a guy hiding behind a racoon

@rudyfunkmeyer Ignoring valid criticisms is part of the problem

I’m currently a delegate for the SD-61 DFL convention on Saturday, but it’s supposed to be 70 on Saturday.
Beautiful spring Saturday outside or waste the entire day inside a high school auditorium participating in an antiquated endorsement process? Going to be a tough decision.
English
@ryangruber @natehoodstp Mitra did Hamline dirty. I’m sorry but development in her ward treaded water for many years, while focus was diverted to passing a failed rent control policy that woefully backfired.
English
@natehoodstp Someone might wish to tell the council member that the reason they're leaving is because the extraction was working in the other direction. Perhaps if Ward 1 and Ward 4 constituents were better at paying for things and staying off the drugs, this could've been avoided.
English
@BillBorghoff @paulhuttnerwx Bill how do the models look tonight for metro and convergence of the axis’s for the sweet spot zone ?
English
There is very little doubt the Twin Cities will have at least 12 inches of snow. Several members also now have 20 inches at a 10:1 ratio. This would be one of the heaviest snowstorms on record. It is important to know how to interpret models....
