Please read Liam's thread about why Jacob Frey doesn't deserve another term. In addition to being a city hall staffer he's been working to make a difference in Minneapolis since he was literally a kid. He knows what he's talking about.
I’m asking everyone to vote for a new Mayor by Tuesday and rank all 3 of Omar Fateh, Dewayne Davis, and Jazz Hampton in whichever order you prefer. I’ve worked at City Hall for the last 4 years and from my personal experiences I believe the City desperately needs a new mayor.

Long thread 🧡

It's a real skill and he works hard at it. Try finding his name or the word mayor in bad news stories about things he is directly responsible for. He's spent 8 years getting really good at evading responsibility and playing the energetic TV mayor on your various screens.
He does this by trotting out higher level staff in his administration to the press or in front of the City Council to be the face of issues and decisions that are completely his, but that he doesn’t want accountability for.
jacob frey thread:
That maybe sounds like hyperbole, but I mean that exactly as I say it. He will call people and just scream at them if he’s mad about something you said on the dais or in the media. This dynamic is even worse if you’re a woman.

Nancy Pelosi is making a statement on her future after tomorrow’s elections. Her spokespeople won’t confirm or deny what colleagues are saying about a retirement so I’ve deleted the earlier post and will wait for her announcement.

this year, moved to minneapolis from brooklyn center. i’m closer to work, but my rent is higher, i have less space, i’m paying for laundry, etc. i am squeezed about as much as i can be squeezed. i pay $1100 for a one bedroom. teacher pay is simply not keeping up with inflation. i need relief.
The message from Frey that β€œrent is down” is not resonating with voters.

We’re talking to renters and the concerns they keep talking about is the cost of living and the high cost of rent.
Sometimes I think people forget that, in 2021 Rent Control got more votes than Jacob Frey did.

Minneapolis! Excellent thread on the election for mayor tomorrow. In short: DON’T rank Frey, a liar and coward who just serves money.

DO rank Davis, Fateh and Hampton in whatever order you choose. This great city deserves better!

Our city deserves new leadership.

I encourage you to rank Omar Fateh first and also rank DeWayne Davis and Jazz Hampton.

I joined the Slate for Change door knock launch and I’m beyond hopeful we’re going to build a city that works for all of us.
looking forward to tuesday when we will all be humbled by the voting public’s penchant for chaos and inscrutability
jfc @dfl.org fucking sucks
And yet, if we retweet an endorsed candidate's post, and don't notice a tiny image of Sen. Fateh on a piece of lit on someone's hand, the state DFL immediately sends a tantrum email to demand the post be removed.
yeah idk what frey, carlbom, and walz cooked up this year but they are sure doing a bang-up job of it
my sense is that walz would play extremely dirty if anyone with a chance challenged him and that he would do his best to torch their career. given walz’s relationship with carlbom (DFL chair), i think potential challengers know the upside is very low.
women almost never win competitive republican primaries in minnesota. my money’s still on scott jensen.

that being said, @governorwalz.mn.gov drop out jfc let us have a real primary you are doing generational damage to the DFL
i think i am more pessimistic about the potential Davis -> Fateh yield. i fear only 60% and significant exhausted votes from liberal-ish voters who don’t rank Frey or Fateh. hope i’m wrong.
is that good

We stand in solidarity with the Minneapolis Federation of Educators, local 59, who filed their intent to strike on Friday, October 31st. They are in their 10-day cool-off period, which means they could reach a deal or walk out on Tuesday, November 11th.
