Multi lane highway cutting through the city: perfectly clear
City street: well cleared
Sidewalk: covered in snow (w/ many footprints)
We need more investment in clearing our sidewalks so everyone (not just drivers) can get around in winter.

Donald Trump has brought his lawlessness to Minnesota, sending ICE agents here to divide and terrorize our communities.
But House DFLers will always stand with our neighbors.
We are Minnesotans. And Minnesotans have each other’s backs.

Aurin Chowdhury rebutting Michael Rainville on his "defund the police" accusation. MPD has done nothing but ramp their budget off the chart. And then overspent that budget by $20 million. "That's the opposite of defunding the police. So let's give it a break."

Minneapolis has become a tale of two cities. One for the wealthy and well connected, and one for all of us — the renters, transit riders, and working families who are left with vetoes and broken promises. We need a Mayor who stands with working people, and works as hard as we do.

So much egg on the faces of people who wanted to rebuild Hennepin Ave exactly as it was before. So that, after paying the price of a two year reconstruction, it would have reopened just as shitty and dangerous as ever. You should support local candidates who are brave enough to fix our streets.

We all deserve the basics to live healthy and dignified lives. Fighting for decent material conditions can be a struggle when so many feel isolated. But regardless of the election results, it will continue to be the honor of my life to go through struggle with helpers here in Minneapolis!

Ugh. Mayor Frey trying to get bonus points by recording a video (about gun violence) on bike.
Feels very performative, given his actual track record on active transportation, including CLOSING the Stevens/Greenway bike/ped ramp due to gun violence.
Don’t trust Frey.

For 7 years, Mayor Frey has lied. He lied about no-knock warrants and Amir Locke died. He lied and said there were only 27 unhoused people in the city—facts prove him wrong. He even vetoed the Uber/Lyft wage bill after vowing to support it. Minneapolis needs a leader, not a liar.

Landlords in good standing could still maintain their license the old way.
But “Tier-3” landlords, with copious property violations, would require a hearing.
It’s no wonder many of these same landlords are spending big to oust progressive champions who fight for renters.
