I don't know if the Epstein vote is a one-off or not, but I've been thinkin of that very thin, translucent sticker film that comes when you order, say, a new monitor. It's devilishly hard to get the first little bit of the corner to separate but once you do, the entire thing pulls off very easily.

Right now, Minneapolis can choose a different story than the one people are telling about us – we can choose to believe in the power of us.

Voting is open now until November 4. I hope you'll rank me first on your ballot because Minneapolis deserves better.

Is it the humiliating clip of Trump that actually got him canceled.
This is the clip. I still can't believe this is all he said.

"Jacob Frey is a deeply performative empty suit who literally runs away from hard questions. He’s also genuinely terrible at working with the City Council, terrible at collective problem solving, and terrible at overseeing the Minneapolis police"

The political assassination of the Speaker of the Minnesota House was a terrible harbinger for our democracy. The profound silence from Republicans afterwards was worse.

The political assassination of Charlie Kirk is a terrible harbinger for our democracy. Again, the response is antidemocratic.

What would happen if in the midst of an authoritarian consolidation people started celebrating the authoritarian’s demise, (regardless of whether it was true). Not just an online frenzy and rumors but joyous celebrations in the street. Such a thing could be quite destabilizing. And also fun!

Powerful honest words here…
We deserve a city government that works for all of us—where decisions are made based on what’s right for the people of our city, not based on who is most loyal to the mayor.

We deserve better.

Elections 101: If you lose big in an endorsement contest that will not determine the election, you should remind people constantly of your loss with baseless accusations of fraud, have your power broker pals overturn the result, then announce "See, I'm not a loser. All the donors tell me so."

Our unsheltered neighbors need compassion and resources, not to be pushed to margins so they remain out of sight.

We deserve a Mayor who will be honest with us about the scope of this crisis and will treat our unhoused neighbors with respect and dignity.

Powerful work assembling the facts and voices and making the case--that Trump indeed has a great deal to hide.
The actual conspiracy theory is that multiple women independently lied, with apparently nothing to gain, and much to lose, about Trump’s entanglement with Epstein. katemanne.substack.com/p/the-actual...

What's this? A clear-headed analysis of the convention from a candidate? One that honors the results, the work of the candidate who won, AND the work of the delegates. One that moves us forward into the work of doorknocking and campaigning? Here for it, & I am here for @dewayneforminneapolis.com.
Since Saturday’s convention, many people have reached out to ask if I will be challenging the DFL endorsement. I want to be clear: I will not challenge the endorsement and will not collaborate with those who are challenging the endorsement.
