Reminder if you are traveling for Thanksgiving - wearing a face mask is a good public health practice and protects you from nasty things like covid, flu, and the common cold.
Also, wash your hands.

In my estimated property tax statement for next year… roughly where tax dollars go.
It’s obscene to me that we spend 25x as much on policing as we do on public housing. And the combined costs of fire department and public works is STILL less than police expenses.

Summary of AM news binge:
- UMN throws a fit because they didn't wanna negotiate, so med school docs made a deal w/ Fairview & w/AG support
- Senate gerontocracy fumbling on how to handle fascists
- Gov't re-opens, folks won't starve, but will die because they can't afford health care
- Auroras!

So we now have - officially in the Congressional record - a list of everyone opposed to Affordable Care, known as Obamacare if you’re racist.
These people have no place in governance. Vote them all out.

$2000 back to every American for health care is a lie.
We all know it.
Because if that were true - that’s what we’d pay in a nationalized system.
Fuck the GOP and their death wish for democracy

Are you represented by a Republican in Congress? Please call and ask them to return their paychecks to the people of the United States. Congress isn't a welfare program after all, and if they don't work - they don't get paid.

100% this. Proving oneself as a leader also means clearing the path for the younger, more racially, culturally, and gender diverse leaders that we need tomorrow.
You know the world you HAD, not the world they will live in.
And living in the past is what the GOP does.
Do better.

Older Dems —we need to get honest with ourselves, confront our racism and misogyny, recognize and support the young leaders and leaders of color.
Breaking the 12 year long GOP supermajority in Mississippi seems like a big deal. A bunch of Black women mayors seems like a big deal.
Can’t wait for the hot “How Democrats winning is bad news for Democrats” takes.

Voting after work today. I have hopes that after today's local elections, Minneapolis will have a mayor who does cool stuff like listening to constituents and working with the City Council.
That'd be great.

Geez. Imagine being afraid of candidate that you go after Tias, Titas, Aunties, Aunts, and think that some how makes you cool instead of an utter freak.

Remind your neighbors that the Republicans control all three branches of the legislature, and if they want to end the shut down, all they have to do is give food and tax cuts to the working class.

Frey ally and former All of Mpls board member indicted by federal grand jury.
Earlier today, Jonathan Weinhagen was charged for theft of $200,000 in 2021.
In 2022, Mayor Frey was lobbying for the City to accept free “consulting” contracts from him. Luckily, Council said no.
