Every time she comes up, I remind you all that Pamela Paul killed a pro trans paragraph in a review I wrote for the New York Times, lied about it in the press, then when I confronted her with receipts, said “Let’s keep this to ourselves.”
In which a straight woman highlights a bunch of known anti trans activists and claims there's a divide in the queer community.
It's pure propaganda and gaslighting.

steve minn has said that he voted for donald trump three times, and his company lupe developmment gave safer hennepin $25k for them to send mailers calling for republicans to vote for jacob frey
the media not writing about the conservative DFL / republican alliance this year is a failure!

If Frey had to withstand a quarter of the scrutiny Fateh is facing this election, people would have marched him out of the city with pitchforks and torches. #dontrankfrey
We cannot keep anticipating a different result from Mayor Frey when he has shown us time and time again that keeping our communities safe is not his priority. Mariah Samuels deserved better. We all do.

Minneapolis woman’s killing exposes gaps in how police investigate domestic violence
In the aftermath of a brutal assault, department leaders failed to assign an investigator to Mariah Samuels’ case. That’s not uncommon.

Davis is my #1 pick and I think he should be yours, too.
And even more importantly they want to erase DeWayne Davis from your consciousness. Because Frey loses an integrity, honesty, who can you trust vote to Davis 100 times out of 100 votes. They know if YOU have an ounce of integrity, you cannot vote for Frey.

The stakes of this election couldn’t be clearer. Are we going to bring back the progressive majority on city council and finally elect a mayor who will stand with renters?
Or will Brian Fitterer and his landlord pals funnel enough money to candidates like Frey, Millard and Shaffer to get their way?
