I endorse Omar Fateh because I've been impressed with the drive & energy he brings to the campaign &, more importantly, to fighting for & with working people as a public official. At this moment we need leaders aligned with regular folks not wealthy interests, and Sen. Fateh is that kind of leader.

Gassing protesters in the U.S. is a fully bipartisan project and this has been true for a long time...

This is something to send to anyone on the fence or in any way part of the “he isn’t that bad” camp. Fernando has clearly *had it*.

Today I write with a heavy heart because I have arrived at the conclusion that City of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey lacks the intrinsic leadership, effective due diligence, and moral resolve to pursue community safety for all Minneapolis residents - especially as it relates to domestic, intimate partner, and gun violence.
I arrive at this conclusion because on October
22, I had a deeply troubling and unproductive meeting with Mayor Frey and City of Minneapolis executive leaders. Later that evening, my worst fears were validated: City of Minneapolis Auditor reported that MPD has not cooperated and has delayed the long overdue After-Action reports for two murders last year.

At some point in the last couple hours, Jonathan Weinhagen deleted his twitter account. Here's some of the posts I saved before he did 🧵

Smart move by CMs Wonsley, Payne, and Chavez back in 2022 to block a “gift” from the chamber to have a staffer work in Frey’s office for free. Imagine Weinhagen having that type of influence over the office given what’s come out about his embezzlement.

Oct 14th - #Hackers of the world united to overload the Gibson, and prevent the Da Vinci virus from capsizing an oil fleet, designed to distract from "The Plague's" worm stealing $25m.

📽️📅 Hackers (1995)

3 Screenshots from the movie "Hackers" (1995): First, a group of young people is gathered in a subway car, with one reading a paper as another looks on, while a subtitle reads, "Wait a minute. The 14th... that's the same day the worm ends its run." Second, a person with a striking hairstyle and colorful clothing stands in front of a vibrant, patterned backdrop, saying, "Hackers of the world, unite." Third, a person leans out of a car window, passionately shouting, "Hack the planet!"

Linea Palmisano can’t answer this so that in case Jacob loses she doesn’t want to be left on the council holding his bag for the term.
And then she’ll be the obvious benefactor of his donor class to run for mayor next cycle.

One part about the Harry Potter books that always sucked (fuck jkr) is that the wizard news paper is constantly getting people’s names wrong, and that is supposed to be an insult to them and signal how unimportant they are, not how bad the journalists are.

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 12d

apparently “bari weiss doesn’t actually know what journalism is” extends to getting basic facts like the name of a subject right

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.

Oct 13th - The #hackers discover that the Da Vinci virus was a distraction for a hidden worm designed to steal $25m, and the virus is going to capsize an oil fleet the next day as a distraction for the theft.

📽️📅 Hackers (1995)

3 Screenshots from the movie "Hackers" (1995): First, a character with braided hair and a sleeveless vest reads a memo on a subway, with the subtitle "Check this out. It's a memo about how they're gonna deal." Second, the same character stands in the subway with a group, one person wearing a bright blue shirt and shiny black pants, while another sits, all with the subtitle "Whoa, whoa. Yo, brain-dead, today is the 13th." Third, the group continues their discussion in the subway, one character is seated and another is standing, with the subtitle "Well, this hasn't happened yet."

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 🧵:

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!
