The landlord class couldn’t be bothered to help DFL conventions run. But once a brown person was endorsed who doesn’t align with their class interest they suddenly had all the money, energy, and lawyers in the world to “fix” the result. But this is a new era, and @omarfatehmn.com wont be stopped.
28 party insiders met privately and voted to overturn our endorsement.
Let me be clear, we’re still in this fight. And we’re going to win.

"When the donors don't get the outcome that they want through the party process, they go to a super party process outside of the norm to try to reverse the decision of the delegates," Payne said. "It's an extremely short-sighted thing to do, not just tactically but philosophically," he added.

For months, people across the city volunteered, organized and talked to their neighbors before endorsing Omar Fateh at the DFL convention.
In the last month, the wealthiest people in the city, led by All of Mpls, have been “working tirelessly” to overturn a democratic vote in a smoke-filled room.

I am incredibly honored to be the DFL endorsed candidate for Minneapolis Mayor. This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us. fatehformayor.com/donate

On the exact same day that Frey claimed there were 27 homeless people in Minneapolis. I, personally, interacted with 30 homeless people as part of my work as a homeless outreach worker. We need a new mayor that loves the truth more than he loves power
When Jacob Frey first ran for mayor in 2017, he infamously promised to end homelessness in 5 years.
Eight years later, homelessness in Minneapolis is no better than when he first ran.
And since Mayor Frey can’t rely on actual data, he started making up his own.

In light of Mamdani's performance, is astonishing there aren't more insurgent primary campaigns. Democratic establishment is discredited. Power is just sitting there like a mountain of gold but instead of being guarded by a fire-breathing dragon, it's fossils like Chuck Schumer

When you look at the recent stock plunge, and the prospect of dramatically higher prices for all manner of consumer goods, it's hard not to diagnose the problem as the Uptown parking shortage. People want a spot out front. It's as simple as that.
