I suspect she got into office for the precise purpose of attending to the whims and comforts of homeowners from Kenwood, Isles and Cedar-Dean neighborhoods---and making sure the city remains hard-wired for their needs above anyone else's. It's her mission. She'll love it.

Make it over age 60.

💯plus Facebook + Strib + Hill and Press or whatever the Kenwood paper is called + Minneapolis Times + All of Minneapolis fear-mongering emails. People over here are in a local version of the Fox News bubble.

But Evan!! The other three candidates were all various hues of Blackity-Black!!!And at least two were more progressive than Frey. I suspect this was the unspoken (and perhaps subconscious) logic in a lot of Ward 13.

Pretty sure AmyK was one of the behind-the-scenes organizer for Senate Democrats Caving Yet Again. She’s also savvy enough to keep her name off the vote tally.

#2: I'd bet good money that, behind the scenes, Amy Klobuchar was orchestrating & approving this cave-in. Like Chuck Schumer, she didn't vote for it, (They only needed 8 votes and had them.) but she was part of the group that had been planning this for a few weeks. Amy acts centrist; votes rightward

Re: #3: city is actually really racist, it’s just expressed more covertly and with “niceness” which makes it even yuckier.

100 percent Swedish and Danish stock here. Can concur! My God, this sounds hellish. I can also feel the revulsion of the ancestors.

Narrator: Everything was in service to her personal ambitions, now and forever, world without end. Amen. The gospel according to Amy K.

Love, love, love this song. Always makes me get up and dance.

I also want to invite anyone who's interested in working to organize these voters---join us at Southwest Action for Equity, @https://bsky.app/profile/swaempls.bsky.social. And the under new progressive leadership Minneapolis Area DFL Senior Caucus is doing good work too.

I agree with Betsy's analysis of appealing to White voters in SW Minneapolis in order to win. But after eight years of Frey/All of Minneapolis fear-mongering, DSA-Red Baiting, older White people in Ward 13 act a lot like Fox News viewers---really primed for Rage and Fear bait.

This is why---after 35+ years of subscribing--I no longer subscribe or read the NYT. If I occasionally want to read something, I copy the link and read it at Removepaywall.com. It's funny--the NYT was a morning ritual and now I don't miss it at all.

White women.😡

Narrator: The answer was both. Plus a dollop of anti-Blackness that got even more freaked out at Fateh being Extra Black, aided by all Frey's smears about cheating and fraud. None of it is pretty, is it?

It is all about race and class. Middle-class and affluent White boomers--who always talk about how they voted for Obama and their uncle "marched with MLK" are the big issue. Frey promotes division on race, class and generation and they eat it up. (Speaking as affluent White Boomer here.)🤮
