I hope @dewayneforminneapolis.com doesn't mind me retelling a story he told me when we first met last winter. I kept it to myself because he wasn’t telling it publicly but he mentioned it yesterday. It’s one of the things that’s leading me to rank him first. A hope-its-ok-and-I-get-right 🧵:
Yesterday, I hosted an incredible event, "Ward 8 for a New Mayor." We talked about why we need a new mayor and then @jazzformayor.bsky.social , @omarfatehmn.com , and @dewayneforminneapolis.com laid out why they should be our next mayor. I came away excited about all of them and will rank all three!

Friendly reminder that Minneapolis changed its billing system for water payments and did a terrible job telling people, so your automatic payments might not be going through.

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.

Twin Cities! CVS has Covid vaccines. Lots of scheduling options, and I was in and out in 5 min (even with someone ahead of me). Support community health, go get your annual shots!

I’ve seen a lot of false information circulating in the weeks following the Minneapolis DFL convention. Some of it feels like reading Jan 6 voter conspiracy theories, so as the person who stepped in as head teller + audited the voting system, I’d like to set the record straight🧵

If you have an indoor cat and you're not masking, when your cat dies a death I can't describe without a dozen content warnings, you'll know you were at fault. And we're all too fragile emotionally for that trauma right now. So please, for the cats, mask.

Minneapolis Ward 8 people: can we get people who care about our houseless neighbors on this committee, which will be full of awful NIMBYism and concern trolling? The application deadline is tomorrow. (Screenshot is from today's Lyndale Neighborhood Association newsletter).

Volunteers and friends were able to distribute 18 tents and 18 sleeping bags yesterday, along with 34 hygiene kits, snacks, water, and other miscellaneous items. Since we're just neighbors helping neighbors, every dollar and item you donate goes directly to people in need:

Illegal signs up by Andrea’s campaign along Park Ave at Phelps Park. I counted 4. Called 311, directed to Park Board, who filed a service ticket for removal. Heads up for how to report for removal on public property.
I didn’t know that being a “pragmatic progressive” meant breaking the law 🤷🏼♀️
