I’m in MPLS.

For work I manage software products; for music I like electronics, hip hop, etc; I watch tv and movies; complain about politics; and I have a cat.
Y’all would come see a ground of middle age dudes play Baby Metal covers, right?

My favorite feature in Slack is /collapse. I’m so happy that they finally added support for it in threads.

The anarchy of boarding a Southwest plane is entirely uncomfortable for me.

I have to double check the measurements, but I don’t think that this new cubic steam deck is going to fit in my carry on.

Maybe the reason no one is liking your posts is just because they’re bad

Omg wait, I only just realized that these weren’t the midterms. We have a whole other year of this.

Because my assumption, just like the rest of y’all’s, is that Frey’s coalition is primarily built up of GOP voters and the moderate centrists who are islamophobic.

I have to assume any of the votes who went to Frey from the dropped candidates mostly into that last category.
November 5, 2025 at 6:03 PM
Is there any way to compare voting records for MPLS mayor with presidential votes? I’m curious how much of Frey’s itty bitty majority (0.03%) are republican.

The final big win of the night is secure.

A complete rout of MAGA, from coast to coast, with an unbelievable variety of candidates and constituencies.

A reminder that we outnumber them. When we vote, we win.

So vote.

Sit tight Minneapolis, we’ll know more tomorrow.
Because Frey didn't get more than 50% of the first round votes, no winner was declared yet and won't be until tomorrow at the earliest.

Ok so how does RC work? Do they re-run the results if someone doesn’t get a big majority or something?

I (not so secretly) love going to the polls on actual Election Day. It’s so special to go into a building you may never visit otherwise, interact in a non commercial way with people in your community, all without the pressure of small talk or networking! Let’s do more of this.

Turns out, the polls are open.

Even if I didn’t have any of the knowledge that I do from working at City Hall, I couldn’t support the Mayor because he is supporting candidates like Brian Strahan and Becka Thompson. They are people who have repeatedly lied about residing in their Wards.

I have experienced this many times. Need help with traffic calming on a road shared with the County? Silence. Adopting for a community-lead redevelopment of the Roof Depot? No reply.
So for those of us who try to help people on a daily basis, this makes our jobs so hard because you have a culture being driven from the top to not take action and to not work with Council Members who are the ones most directly connected to actual city residents.

It’s this simple. Do you think MPLS is doing well? Frey has had complete control. Current state of the city is on his shoulders. If we re-elect him, we cannot expect ANYTHING to change.
Jacob Frey has been Mayor for 8 years, and has had complete power and control over the City for the last 4 years. All City departments other than the legislative department report to him and he’s in charge of implementation of all policies and budgets.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.
