St. Paul budget hearing at 6pm tonight at City Hall. Why is Mayor Carter slashing librarians, rec centers and EMS just to let SPPD tear gas us on Payne Ave to protect ICE?

Latest Strib revision removes the average donation for All of Mpls of $421 from the article. Wouldn't want the Wayzata landlords and developers to look out of touch with their $100k checks.

237 person sample size done via text and "total support across all ranks" being functionally meaningless. "First choice candidate support" shows DeWayne with twice the support of Jazz. But if the pollster won't even put their name on the memo, I'd take it all with a grain of salt.

Gorgeous evening in South Uptown with @twincitiesdsa.org knocking for @omarfatehmn.com, @aishaforward10.com and @adamformplsparks.bsky.social. Ward 10 is excited to put a stop to rent hikes, a $20/hr min wage and ensure MPD never cooperates with ICE.

My read of the City Charter is that upon moving to Ward 12 to Becka would need to resign from the Park Board. Minneapolis City Charter oversees both City and Park Board elected officials.

Lovely afternoon to door knock with @twincitiesdsa.org for @omarfatehmn.com, @aishaforward10.com, @michaelforparks.bsky.social and @adamformplsparks.bsky.social!
Lots of questions about the blacked out DFL logo on the lit—and lots of agreement we can't let DFL party insiders rig this for Frey.

Jacob Frey door knock vs Omar Fateh door knock. Both yesterday. All the corporate and GOP money in the world can't buy enthusiasm. Even Frey padding his photo with ~20 paid staff barely helps.
Let's win this. Sign up to door knock with @twincitiesdsa.org today: actionnetwork.org/forms/twin-c...

First door knock of the summer with @robin4mpls.bsky.social and @michaelforparks.bsky.social! Got my official @twincitiesdsa.org punch card. Looking forward to a summer full of conversations about a socialist vision for Minneapolis.

Notary stamp on the MN OAH complaint form is Carol Becker. Guess we shouldn't be holding our breath for Minneapolis Times to denounce this attack on free press.
Someone should ask Jacob Frey, Elizabeth Shaffer and Lydia Millard is they condemn this behavior by their fellow All of Mpls candidate.

Great to spend the afternoon on the doors for @coleforward4.bsky.social with @twincitiesdsa.org! Lots of excitement to defend rent control to keep St. Paul affordable and crack down on absentee landlords letting properties like the Snelling and University CVS sit vacant for 3+ years.

Julie Wicklund: "Corey would be a great addition to the pragmatic progressives/moderates or whatever the term is for folks not aligned with the DSA!”
Certainly an ethics violation for Palmisano and her staff to be recruiting candidates via her official City Hall email address.

All of Mpls major donor Julie Wickland and Council Member Palmisano had an email exchange with Corey Vest earlier this year about him running in Ward 7.
Can't speak to the serious of Vest's campaign given the flopped Tim Peterson campaign that he managed but he's certainly a Frey aligned candidate.

I appreciated the timelapse of a cold winter day video. Very inspiring statement by a candidate.
