This could only be true if Frey's critics somehow tricked him into lying about banning no-knock warrants, issuing more vetoes of council majority votes than any mayor, appointing political patronage failures in important city staff positions, alienating civil servants,

In the vast majority of states, guns that came from other states and were recovered from crime scenes mostly came from red states. www.pbump.net/o/the-red-st...

For all the fall lovers out there, that vertical line coming in on radar represents decorative gourd season. That's our cold front that switches us from August to October. #mnwx

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.

@momsdemand.bsky.social MN asked DeWayne Davis (the faith leader) to address their rally calling on the Minn Legislature to pass #guncontrol legislation in a special session. Hear his call to action, know that change is possible, and we don't have to live like this. @dewayneforminneapolis.com

There’s a broad coalition of new faces and young families with @momsdemand.bsky.social rallying for a special session. @governorwalz.mn.gov Minnesotans demand an assault weapons ban!

Minnesotans rally in support of the 2025 special session and an assault weapons ban at the state capitol.

Thank you, @governorwalz.mn.gov - Minnesotans deserve to be safe from assault weapons!!!

Governor Tim Walz @governorwalz.mn.gov · 13d

I’m asking Republicans to hold a public vote on banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, because that’s what the majority of Minnesotans want to see.

We cannot solve the problem of gun violence without addressing the prevalence, accessibility and lethality of the firearms themselves. While we need to find ways to reduce individuals' ability and desire to commit violent acts, we must also address the instruments of that violence: guns themselves.

Could it be a new allergic reaction? I had to treat acute contact dermatitis to find the cause - ammonia in my Aveda shampoo & hair dye.

About 100 Minneapolis students walked from their schools to the memorial at Annunciation School, and that’s what made me cry today. They deserve better.

Agreed. If you have a cabin or friends outstate, call your legislators there. They don’t care about Minneapolis, but they have to listen to their constituents.

LibsMpls @libsmpls.bsky.social · Sep 5

Yes and no. If the call to action is sustained, this could lead to good laws in the special session. We’ll see some talk and zero action at the federal level.
