The Strib “requested records of Frey’s phone calls and texts between Oct. 23—the day Davis Moturi was shot by his neighbor—and Oct. 28, the day Frey defended the police’s handling of the case. But the mayor’s office said it had no such records. . . .”

On one hand, nationally renowned media law expert Jane Kirtley says the Frey administration's apparent efforts to circumvent open records law are astounding.

On the other hand, the city attorney appointed by Frey says it's all fine. www.startribune.com/mayor-jacob-...

Political group accuses Frey of improperly deleting texts. Some advocates and media lawyers agree.

The Minneapolis city attorney’s office says Mayor Jacob Frey is in compliance with the state transparency laws.

It's very cold, especially overnight! If you find yourself with any extra fall or winter clothes or blankets, please consider bringing them to any of our drop-off locations! ❤️

And this temp drop won't stop: the low tomorrow night is supposed to be 37°... the low was 71° just last week.

If you are in the Twin Cities & have extra blankets and cold weather clothing, consider donating to @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social - our unhoused neighbors could probably use warm things!

Is it bc you don’t like the natural color (i do!) or bc you just enjoy switching it up? Here’s a pic of me from 2015 . . . which simultaneously feels like one year ago and like 30 years ago 😩

A woman with long bangs and streaked brown-and-blond hair stands in a field of wildflowers and conifers. She is wearing a backpack, a gray tank top, and around her neck, a magenta bandana

If I’m reading Kyle right, Frey admits failing to issue 100 housing vouchers *that are funded this year because he wants to kill the program next year.* (This is not Stable Schools, but for single folks.) This is unallotment Trump-style, especially since county/MPHA are in.

This is exactly right.

While the political elite of the so called opposition party have abandoned us to fascism the population itself is rising to the occasion and fighting it back at every turn in any way they can

Including risking gnarly road rash on places road rash would be awful to get.

One thing that’s different from Nazi germany is that lots of everyday people are resisting this shit, even if politicians have abandoned us.

“Frey” rhymes with “BYE” and i cannot freaking wait to see him go. Talk to your neighbors about ranking Davis-Fateh-Hampton in their preferred order!

David Brauer @dbrauer.net · 3d

9/ That’s right — Jacob Frey wanted a “black friend” to run cover for him. Davis refused; the mayor acted like Davis owed him something for appointing him to the committee, in a cynically transactional calculation that twisted Davis’s volunteer public service into political fealty.

St. Paul & Minneapolis have virtually the same percentage of DSA-endorsed council members (30%, 28%) yet the former has many fewer homicides & encampments per capita so I’m thinking DSA isn’t the problem.

The bit about MPD being present was confirmed by three neighbors. Jacob Frey continues to lie and O’Hara continues to help ICE. Neighbors assumed at first it was a car crash based on how the squads and SUVs were parked.

Aurin: The fact of the matter there is no playing dead in this moment. Governor has said Trump could be sending national guard into Minneapolis. Feds are racially profiling people. They don't even look at status. "I am exactly the leader you need to elect in this moment."
