Glad to be discussing chronic absenteeism and student mental health at the NAMI-MN conference this morning. Always happy to lift the good work of my colleagues at Minnesota Alliance With Youth.

We’re getting close to election day in Minneapolis, and I’ve figured out who I plan to vote for. I endorse Dr. DeWayne Davis and Sen. Omar Fateh. I also plan to rank Jazz Hampton.

no one reported on the we love mpls training slideshow i leaked. no one reported on the entire 1 hour long all of mpls call i recorded that i know media got. they don’t care, they won’t cover it, we have to do it instead
Not a single mainstream media outlet reported the campaign violations and conflicts surrounding All of Mpls, We Love Mpls, and Thrive Mpls.
They're not just "missing the story." They're protecting the system--and themselves.

Didn't Jacob Frey run his first mayoral race based on ending homelessness? All of us deserve better.
Right now, the City's homelessness response team consists of just four positions – and they work in a department that manages parking enforcement and animal control.
Our unhoused neighbors deserve dignity. We need to do better – and with the right leadership, we can.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'?

Glad I wasn't the only one who read it that way. Who has started the countdown clock for when she starts walking it back like she did the melanin comment earlier this year?
I didn’t think this saga could get worse. But here we have a candidate running for a city council seat in South Minneapolis claiming her initial motivation in running for the Southside seat was to be a voice for North Minneapolis.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

I feel like resurrecting $347,932 in taxpayer payments to a favored Frey homophobe who called a gay council member a “girl,” threatened violence in the city council chamber, and whose contractors shot up the north side should earn the sort of media coverage reserved for what cars candidates drive …
It sure does pay to be a Frey political patronage supporter - you can be as abusive and loud and toxic and homophobic as you want to be, and still pull up to the gravy train. The good Reverend McAfee back on the docket. They dont call it Salem Inc. for nothing lims.minneapolismn.gov/File/2025-00...

My longtime office away from the office. Great coffeehouse, great mission made real. Hit them up.
Wildflyer is looking at a significant funding gap. They support both Avenues for Homeless Youth/ the ConneQT program AND provide direct support to unhoused youth. If you can, try to find some ways to support them (Mpls & St Paul) so that we can retain their critical community work. 🧡🩵

If you read the executive summary on the right, you can see Mayor Frey’s absolute & ongoing failure to include the City Council in actions & engagement led to this. It’s not an exoneration of Frey, it’s an indictment of leadership that hoards info for power & then claims they’re the victims.
If you’re curious why the media is so often biased towards Frey, just look at his press release VS the actual executive summary of the audit. Often media will just regurgitate press releases instead of actually doing the work.

Back in May, we conducted polling that shows only 30% of Minneapolis voters approve of Mayor Frey.
On the first ballot at Saturday’s convention, Frey secured 31.54% of the votes.
Now Frey wants to discredit the results, but they were exactly what should have been expected.
