Am I elected official enough to tell people “I don’t drive on Sundays” and get away with it?

Temps tonight will reach the high 40s. These are the dwindling days of easily rideable weather for which the emergency ride system was designed.
🚨 An emergency bike ride has been declared. We depart Mueller Park tonight at 7:30 pm.

Cleaning up my house and now very concerned about Soren Stevenson’s election.
It says here he’s going to institute policies that will raise rents and property taxes, driving out residents and small businesses. Why would he do that??

Coming down the home stretch and I am doing everything I can to throw this election.
Arguing publicly against RCV and picking aggressive fights with voters who criticize my endorsements. It might be too late but if I only had another 10 days, I think I could lose by double digits.

It’s so rewarding to inform folks about important at-large down ballot races that greatly affect residents’ standard of living. My favorite conversation was with a retired MPS teacher!

When Chet Wedgely and I came together to form this partnership, we asked “how can we create a fun community environment, while also raising awareness of Eric’s stolen 2006 Chevy Suburban?”
That was the inspiration for my sponsorship of the Wedge LIVE’s first annual Float Fest.

My beloved 2006 Chevy Suburban was seemingly stolen (???) from 35th & Grand in South Minneapolis. Please keep an eye out! Description in pics.
P.S. Yes, I own a massive SUV but I don’t drive it very much!

Good thoughts on outsourcing public safety.
Instead of asking our experts to study, design, and implement good policies, we outsource to avoid liability. But you can't really avoid responsibility because we still live with the consequences. And then we never learn how to do things.

I don’t know whether this is warranted or not. And I get the value of external review.
But here is always the problem with hiring fucking consultants:

This is a helluva metaphor.
the thing about the “team mpls / jacob frey” design is that it works for shirts or signs in a lawn where people can see both sides to connect them, but in a window or against a wall, you’re forced to choose between displaying “team mpls” or “jacob frey”
congrats to charles rucker, @jazzformayor.bsky.social, team mpls and @omarfatehmn.com for figuring out this spot, where their signs were visible from the street

I’d like a functional, trustworthy police force.
But reality is police don’t solve crimes, won’t provide behavioral response, and won’t even save you amidst the violent emergencies they’re ostensibly geared for. Plus millions in fraudulent overtime?
If you’re not for deep reform you’re a fool.

Will gets 25 likes in four minutes on this nitpicky thread about the city convention but *I’m* the one rolling with “you guys.”
The nerve!
The nerve!
I mean it’s true that the winner doesn’t want to throw out the result. And the others don’t want to get swarmed by you guys. But ultimately I’m going to stand by the idea that losing 20% of the votes, and dramatically changing the rules at the eleventh hour, makes for a bad and illegitimate process.
I’m a Stancil apologist in the sense that I think he’s smart and makes some good points.
But this is the thing he does I object to most. The “Minneapolis left” isn’t saying it’s harmless to throw out votes; Fateh, Jazz, and Davis are saying that throwing out the whole convention is worse.
