We need a Mayor who will address homelessness seriously. Someone who will address fiscal cliffs and won’t pit vulnerable communities against one another because he doesn’t care about our unhoused neighbors. 2/

“We went out to Denver as a group, and some representatives from Hennepin County came and we learned about the Denver model, which was to have an intense effort around those investigations.”

HCAO did go and we were excited about the Denver model. Minneapolis didn’t implement it.

We treat every non-fatal shooting in Saint Paul with the same urgency as a homicide. We’re solving more cases, cutting crime by double digits, and producing a record-low homicide rate—proving this action-driven approach creates safer outcomes.

St. Paul solved more crimes, had drastically fewer homicides in 2025

A remarkable shift is under way in St. Paul. The city is on track for a 70 percent drop in homicides by the end of 2025. And they’re solving more than 70 percent of crimes.

I wonder how long the Strib will get away with saying the crime problem in MPLS is the result of an "understaffed police force" instead of saying that the city's leadership chooses to not implement proven strategies for reducing violent crime. www.startribune.com/roper-doomsd...

The city blossoms in the warmer months, even when bad headlines drown out what makes it great.

This was the vibe at the Indigenous Peoples’ Day Powwow!

@omarfatehmn.com got tons of love and support. Getting stopped every second.

And cars just kept honking at him and saying hello as he was leaving.

Something special is happening in Minneapolis.

Becka Thompson’s reply
Should the city contract with the Rev Jerry McAfee for violence prevention work?
Don’t know

honestly I think his positions on homelessness diverge pretty strongly from Frey… plus the Frey endorsement doesn’t play well in W8.

🚨 MUTUAL AID REQUEST 🚨
A good friend on the West Coast has been going through some health issues and needs rent assistance this upcoming month. If you can spare a few bucks, it would help out a whole lot. (I personally vouch for this fundraiser and would really appreciate a boost.)

It’s hard to overstate how incredible @jchavezmpls.bsky.social was at the Ward 9 forum on Monday night. Besides being a gifted public speaker, he demonstrated over and over that he views unhoused people and people who use drugs as fully human and fully worthy of housing and health and life.

I do love Davis so so so much though and have had incredibly positive experiences with him and his campaign. Humble and kind and genuine and would be an amazing mayor.

I’m ranking Fateh first because of how thorough his platform is. He’s also been my state senator and I’ve seen him show up and put in the work in the community. He’s an effective legislator and I think that will translate well to being mayor. Plus, he’s responsive and kind as an elected official.
