2017: We elected Tim Keller Mayor first & foremost to reform our police dept. after years of lawless violence against us.

2025: In the 8 years since Tim Keller took office as our Mayor, no unarmed person has been shot by a police officer. Not one.

Maybe that leadership challenge grayed him a bit.

“Darren White is allowing us to take the gloves off! WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!!”

“Who gave them permission to feed the homeless at all?”

- an #ABQ APD email, 2010, just before our police began arresting volunteers who were feeding our homeless.

Ah, #Albuquerque, remember the Darren White Era?:

33%: Uses of force by our police that were unjustified when Darren White led APD.

3.7%: Uses of force that are out of policy with the leadership of
@mayorkeller.bsky.social.

Tim Keller has us down to about 25 a year. Darren White would take us back up to about 250 a year.

Our choice, Burque.

When he was overseeing APD in 2010 and 2011, Darren White told our police officers to "take the gloves off" when dealing with the homeless. They not only arrested far too many homeless people; they arrested the volunteers who were feeding them. Never again, Albuquerque, never again.

840 people will move into 240 affordable apartments at Tierra Linda next June. 448 people will move into new homes at West Mesa Ridge. And about 140 people will move into affordable apartments in the old Wells Fargo Bldg. around early 2027. That’s leadership. That’s @mayorkeller.bsky.social. #ABQ

Immediately upon Darren White assuming leadership of APD in 2009, the 5 worst years in APD history began -- more than 5 years of unjustified use of force. At least 25% of the 1,900 use-of-force actions by our police officers from 2009 to early 2014 were found by DoJ to be unjustified.

From 2009 to 2011, Darren White did nothing to reform APD police culture, conduct, policies, supervision, or oversight. This led to $60 million in lawsuit payouts and $40 million in DoJ Consent Decree compliance costs - a staggering $100 million billed to and paid for by Albuquerque taxpayers.

When ICE is raiding daycare centers and dragging out teachers in front of of crying, terrified children, it’s not to keep America safe, but an attempt to turn Americans to violence.

This is Day One Darren on Day Two. Darren White's promise to end homelessness on Day One is the biggest insult ever hurled against the voters of #Albuquerque. On Day One he'll put 200 homeless in a jail cell (that's all we've got vacant). On Day Two he'll wonder what he can do with the other 4,800.

Based on current trends from his first two terms, here's what we can expect to be enjoying in our City by New Year's Day 2030 - with 4 more years of Tim Keller's leadership as Mayor of Albuquerque.

@mayorkeller.bsky.social has boosted spending on services for the homeless 7-fold from $3.6m to $25m. Plus more mental health services & housing. He's enforcing illegal activity by the homeless about as much as state law allows him to. And he'll use $23m to move 1,000 more to a bed by summer. #ABQ

NM is at $12 for our minimum wage. Santa Fe is at $15 and
Mayor Webber proposes $17.50. It's hard to pay the rent on $12.
@mayorkeller.bsky.social would take us to $15 here in #Burque. $500 more a month. If our City Council says no to $15, let's put $16 on the ballot in #ABQ in 2027.

Yes, Joe Monahan, it's time for @mayorkeller.bsky.social to boast. He boosted spending on the homeless 7-fold, stood up the best 988 system in the country (taking 100k calls a yr), is building the spectacular Rail Trail, & we've got many more high-paying jobs in film, clean energy, quantum, etc.

On August 18, the #ABQ City Council approved the request by
@mayorkeller.bsky.social for $2 million to start turning the 10-story north tower at San Mateo & Central into affordable housing. The 17-story south tower will follow later. If we reelect him, Tim Keller will complete this awesome project.

When it comes to building a nuclear fusion economic cluster, our Mayor is the GOAT. @mayorkeller.bsky.social
just brought Pacific Fusion to #Burque & we now have 14 nuclear fusion companies. Four more years of this economic leadership! Four more years of Tim Keller! & the best is yet to come! #ABQ

In the 2040s, nuclear fusion will surpass solar as the leading source of clean energy in the world. In the 2050s, fusion will provide a majority of the world's energy. And our kids & grandkids in #ABQ will look back & know which Mayor made our city a leading global player. @mayorkeller.bsky.social

Jeff Tucker, the dipshit opinion writer at the @abqjournal.bsky.social, is actually asserting that the legacy of @mayorkeller.bsky.social can be found in Coronado Park. Yes, Jeff, you're right for once. Mayor Keller closed Coronado Park almost 40 months ago, and this is what he's turning it into:
