MPD has failed our Indigenous women, they tried to lie about it, and now the truth finally gets out. We deserve better but I’m forever thankful to Jana and @TCC4Justice for not giving up.

The Minneapolis Police Department's response to the shooting of Davis Moturi by his neighbor and the death of Allison Lussier were marked by slow response times and inconsistent applications of law and policy, an after-action report found. kstp.com/kstp-news/top-…

We are endorsing @peggyflanagan for U.S. Senate! This is a moment that demands courage and leadership, and we see LT. Governor Flanagan as that courageous leader. She’ll take on the oligarchy, support a $17 minimum wage, and fight for Medicare For All. Go Peggy!

Doctors say that measles is one of the deadliest infectious diseases in the world. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and cuts penises off raccons says you'll be fine if you drink raw milk and bathe in raw sewage. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

@reggiescollege You blame the City Council for the Mayor’s failure to implement the budget that the Council passed & the Mayor signed? The Council is responsible for its own decision-making. You can’t hold the Council accountable for unethical decision-making entirely w/in the Mayor’s purview.

@W_R_Emory But didn’t the people of Minneapolis vote for exactly this? A stronger mayoral office? Seems to me that the city council of the last 6 years dug its own grave on this one.

The thing I need the people of Mpls to understand is that Mayor Frey and MAK are increasingly ignoring the Council approved budget and spending money however they want. While the City Council’s Audit Committee lacks independent legal counsel, they have little recourse. (1/3)
Wedge LIVE!™@WedgeLIVE

The Uptown safety ambassadors were funded by the council in 2023. Chughtai & Cashman were banging their heads against the wall as the Frey admin refused to implement. Last month Barnette told Shaffer (Cashman successor) there's no money, it's not happening. Now it's happening.

@smburns My point being, FDR was far from infallible, and sometimes downright wrong. He was wrong about Japanese-Americans and he was wrong about public sector workers.

@smburns FDR also said: “Japanese immigrants are not capable of assimilation into the American population. Anyone who has traveled in the Far East knows that the mingling of Asiatic blood with European or American blood produces, in nine cases out of ten, the most unfortunate results.”

FDR is one of my heroes. I agree with his view that public sector unions are harmful. All levels of Minnesota government need major realignment of the workforce. When every $ spent on your job comes out of your neighbor’s pocket, performance and efficiency are essential.

The Mpls City Council needs independent legal counsel to seek judicial intervention to keep administration within the bounds of the legislature’s lawfully enacted budget. Mpls needs to restore a system of checks and balances in the wake of the strong mayor amendment. (3/3)

Currently, the attorney for the City Council is the Mayor-appointed City Attorney. The Mayor’s Attorney will never advise the Council to sue the Mayor for improperly enacting the budget. (2/3)

taylr@taylr·
so when people talk about how the city council is out of control, and the mayor's office is "the last check & balance" to THEM, it just shows how effective the media campaign has been to bury the way things actually function in the frey administration x.com/taylr/status/2…
taylr@taylr

a delegate from ward 12 says she is speaking for the people who don’t show up because they get booed or backs turned on them or they get “canceled”?? what in the right wing bullshit loser shit is this? this is ridiculous. the party is who shows up

Even more than in the past, it is clear today that the proliferation of armed conflicts is often driven by the exploitation of oil and mineral deposits, with no regard for international law or the self-determination of peoples.

Over and over again, I’ve seen examples of people who are no longer performing in their positions be left in those roles basically stealing money from their neighbors.

60,000 people live in downtown minneapolis and jacob frey is still looking to suburbanites coming in rather than learning from zohran mamdani to improve the city for its RESIDENTS then again, they also tore down the loring greenway playground with no plans to replace it...
