Here's the quiet part that some folks are worried about being said out loud:
There are City Council Members who want to want to have the power to keep Mpls police officers from killing, blinding, maiming, and otherwise harming members of our community.
Abigail Cerra watched incredulously Wednesday as Police Chief Medaria Arradondo, in his blues, stepped in front of a wall plastered with Minneapolis Police Department logos and explained his opposition to Question 2. 🧵https://t.co/Ap2RUlHJRF via @mnreformer
RENTER STORIES: Like the majority of Minneapolis residents, Troy Bowman is a renter. A huge amount of us are cost-burdened, paying more than 30% of our income for rent.
Please QT/RT to SHARE this video & Vote YES on Question 3 before November 2nd for rent stabilization. #YesOn3
@WedgeLIVE What a great conversation! I’ve been waiting a long time for CP Bender to be able to be frank about what’s happened at city hall. Knock those doors, y’all! It can get better.
Listen to my conversation with Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender as she enters the twilight of her Council career.

What is this nonsense? Isn’t the message below completely contradicting the message above? It’s almost like if your campaign is based on lies it’s hard to keep track of the truth!
@DanielDenvir@thedigradio @adamjohnsonNYC @EricLevitz I’ve noticed for years (after finding democracy now) how bad media coverage of foreign policy on mainstream outlets is, and I’ve never understood why it’s so much worse than coverage of other topics! So good to get some insight!!
"State Troopers engaged in a massive "purge" of emails and text messages shortly after the agency was accused of using excessive force during protests and riots over the death of George Floyd last summer, according to court testimony filed late Friday." https://t.co/2Bm07KzIRV
And if you believe that the Mayor and Chief are working to "reform" this awful status quo, I would respectfully urge you to think again. They have consistently trotted out policy "changes" that are clearly not changes at all.

Very good explanation of what the public safety charter amendment does, what it doesn't do, and how "All of Mpls" (the Frey PAC) is lying to you. https://t.co/BxyQNWqS01
@jessemortenxon@WedgeLIVE@dbrauer I was frustrated mostly by the stop sign placement and the hills on the route, especially considering how flat and wide 38th is. When my kid starts biking I’ll definitely use it for safety!
The Mayor was elected by mpls voters who voted in 2017. The average age and demographic: 58 years old, white. My ward (9) did not vote for him. Crippling the councils ability to pass a legislative agenda takes away our voice. And makes passing policy for renters harder.
Yesterday, someone commented to me that the Minneapolis City Government is in ineffective and slow, more so than other municipalities. I agree, but a strong major charter amendment won’t fix the problem. @IX_Unidxs has worked for years on policy, and I’ve noticed a few things.
We started talking to supportive council members over 3 years ago about a Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Policy. The policy gives tenants a say when their buildings are up for sale.
