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. 🫶.

One of my potential opponents in the CD2 race is spreading lies about me because he’s scared I might enter the race. I fully support DEI and there’s no way in hell I’ll let the former mayor of Lakeville out-woke me if I end up running.
@NortonMpls A lot of people are saying that Mike Norton hates DEI.

Matt Little wants you to think he’s the progressive candidate in the CD2 race, but I would go a step further and demand the Vikings to have an all male cheerleaders if I was representing Minnesota in Congress.
All I’m saying is that we’ve never won a Super Bowl with an all female cheerleading squad. #vikings.

“Either Boelter is mentally incompetent or perhaps he is propagating propaganda that will justify and even valorize his evil acts in hopes of persuading one right-wing juror to vote for acquittal. (Or persuading a morally bankrupt president for a pardon.)”

RT @CheyCab: With all the video surveillance of all these mass hits on cars across the city? 100% these folks could be caught by now. Eit….

These aren’t sophisticated break ins, they’re mass smash and grabs with a slow trailing getaway car. If the Minneapolis police department wanted to do something about this ongoing issue they could, but under Mayor Frey they don’t do shit so they probably won’t.

Insane number of people in the replies saying it would be a good thing if Trump initiated federal control of Minneapolis law enforcement. Doesn’t seem like people understand the greater context of what this would mean for individual liberty and America as we know it.
People in Minneapolis should be prepared for Trump to do some crazy shit like putting the Minnepaolis police department under federal control like he just did with DC Police. Mayor Frey wouldn’t be able to do anything to stop it other than issue a strongly worded instagram post.

All the people saying “Trump wont do it in Minneapolis, DC isn’t a state” should check out the Minnesota State Rep in my replies saying he’s cool with federal control of local law enforcement. And fuck off with this “Walz will save us” bullshit, he won’t do shit about it.
@NortonMpls Good forbid we had safe streets.

Trump announces he's placing the DC police department "under direct federal control" and deploying the National Guard in the city

Stone arch bridge just reopened in Minneapolis and it appears bicycle gangs are already using it to commit crimes.

If there was really a directive from Mayor Frey to not allow Minneapolis police officers to respond to calls at 38th and Chicago (as this lawsuit states) then it’s really going to fuck up his whole law and order candidate bullshit with his base.

When the Mad Libs would come back with something like “then he ate a poop sandwich” the room would go fucking wild.

Unfiltered Mary is the Mary Moriarty I wish people knew all along. With no fucks left to give, I’m excited for her last 18 months in office.
Just as I’ve been appreciating this wonderfully insightful thread by @ControverChel I’m being dissected by the strib in yet another way - I’m too academic. I wonder how I’d be received using the “bare knuckle” approach? 🤔😂

The Democrat endorsed candidates for mayor in New York and Minneapolis are both democratic socialists and their creepy and unlikable challengers both don’t seem to understand that doesn’t mean they’re Soviet era communists and are allowed to have nice things

Love that the bulk of Mayor Frey’s comms strategy the past month has been reminding people he lost the DFL endorsement because the election was rigged and that his car is shitty
