one of the tragedies of sloganeering Frey as some hero of affordable housing only to promote a certain kind of politic, it flattens the whole honest discussion we should be having about how to build housing for all and make dignified affordable housing a right in this country

Why has the government been closed at all if Senate Dems cave now? Didn't they say that they could not go along with throwing millions of people off health care?
What's materially changed? A *promise* is not action. ALSO fascists lie and I've been told by some Senate Dems that the GOP is fascist.

Democrats ran the table on Tuesday at state and local levels, getting not just its base excited but “normies” fed up over the last 10mo, so of course national Democrats want to do everything to pop the air in the balloon.
At this point, it’s clear that the Hamburglar, Dr Evil, and Sideshow Bob are advising Chuck Schumer.

DA’s 🧵 is worth reading & I would only note that Davis spent a good part of the campaign with ZERO paid staff. The Minneapolis “middle” (center-left, whatever you want to call it) doesn’t have any sort of durable campaign infrastructure. Frey does & DSA does. You need 2+ years to win mayor‘s race.
this analysis is strange in that it doesnt answer the fundamental question about Minneapolis voters - if Frey's multiple lies and polarizing ways were truly against their values and they were tired of it, why did they not choose Davis? www.startribune.com/jacob-frey-r...
Roper: Jacob Frey can thank the far left for handing him another term
Frey was a vulnerable incumbent. But progressives banked on the wrong guy to beat him.

And then after Locke was executed in his own home, Frey tried to pressure DeWayne Davis to come home & stand with him at a presser for political cover! Appreciate Brauer for sharing that part bc we still probably wouldn’t know about it. Honestly one of the most repugnant things I’ve heard in ages

Jacob Frey voters should be asked one abiding honest question, what thing would you hold him accountable for?

If George Floyd's life and death kinda sorta mattered, Amir Locke's life sure the fuck did not matter to the voters of this city. That is abysmal when you think of it.

Davis voters: 23% Frey, 62% Omar, 15% blank
Jazz is about what I expected, surprised at how many DeWayne votes went to Frey
Question I'll be wrestling w/ - why my fellow DeWayne folks trusted him enough to be Mayor but not enough to buy into his strategy

Thank you District 4, and the supporters who carried this victory! Once I’m a bit more healed up, we will definitely be celebrating this win- the vision of parks for everyone is something we can all share and bring to fruition.

Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.

New episode! We try to tell the story of Jacob Frey, from candidate to city councilmember to mayor to successful disaster: millcityhall.com
Come for the analysis, stay for the stories about bloody nipples, the BAC, and “why is IF capitalized?”
This is part 1 - expect part 2 next week

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.
ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.
SEN. RON JOHNSON: That program needs to be dramatically reformed.
