Greetings new followers, if you’re in my replies trying to convince me Minneapolis isn’t lovely then you’re wasting everyone’s time. If you don’t live here then I don’t really give a shit about your half-baked opinions on what the city is really like. 🫶 https://t.co/8A8TOGTaMr

Can’t believe Royce White is apparently the best the MN GOP can do in statewide races https://t.co/hHwDpOYm8Q

Conservative podcasters are afraid of Minneapolis and it’s mostly just people riding scooters with their dog

If this was Omar people would be demanding to have him removed from the ballot.
It’s extremely shady that Mayor Frey 1) doesn’t use a city issued phone so he can circumvent FOIA requests and 2) deleted his texts and call records. Frey is a fucking snake and anyone who votes for him is complicit in his bullshit. This is Trumpian. https://t.co/7wthlVLQFs

Mayor Frey has been a politician the majority of his professional career, Jazz Hampton actually understands what it’s like to run a business. The mayor’s body language looks pretty uncomfortable when he watches Jazz respond here.

This is such obvious bullshit, I hope Ally Peters is well compensated for diluting her reputation publicly like this. Can someone start a go fund me to help Jacob Frey pay for $5/mo of cloud storage for his old texts?

The espresso beans at Thesis Coffee in Uptown look like they’re in weed bags, and personally I think that’s great marketing

You have to respect Jacob Frey’s commitment to aesthetics, he’s been neglecting to build relationships with the Minneapolis delegation at the state capitol for years just to make sure his endorsement graphic wasn’t too crowded

It’s still insane that we spent so much money to dig this light rail tunnel between the Minneapolis chain of lakes rather than run the train through Uptown and the most densely populated area in the state. (Pink line is where this track is, dark red is where all the people live)

Anyone else notice that Minnesota’s favorite senator only endorsed one incumbent Twin Cities mayor for re-election, and it wasn’t Minneapolis (where she lives)

Saint Paul Police are 3x more likely to solve a nonfatal shooting than Minneapolis police. Both cities face similar challenges, but Mayor Carter seems focused on effective governance while Mayor Frey seems more focused on being an effective politician. https://t.co/RUL1tcSnlX

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.
