If you’re concerned about “health & safety” this isn’t it. Medical, public health, & harm reduction experts know this. If you’re concerned w/maintaining neoliberalism’s respectability politics, protecting capital, & keeping white liberals comfy, you’re nailing it. You’re also accomplice to murder.

It's neat how this happens across the US, possibly thousands of times per day, yet all of the moral outrage and concern is over ebikes, bikes on sidewalks, scooters, and pedestrians wearing headphones.

I’ve been to enough of these meetings to see how even basic fact-checking is discouraged as being too “combative and divisive,” especially when pointed at those defending the status quo Push back even the tiniest amount and they’ll flop like pro soccer players, then plead for civility and respect

"Generally speaking, I think it takes a special kind of gall to assume that what a desperate world needs is your particular spin on giving up." organizingmythoughts.org/declining-in...
“We need more people highlighting solutions, practicing care, bracing for impacts together, and naming the openings we might push through—which is why the public broadcast of doom and despair deserves scrutiny right now. Pessimism is not foresight, and despair is not a synonym for political clarity. Not because people are obligated to be cheerful, but because resignation, transmitted as a factual conclusion, becomes an invitation to surrender.” - Kelly Hayes

Reading the laundry list of O'Hara's bad behavior--including romantic relationships with at least three female subordinates, temper tantrums, witness tampering....and yet, Frey still nominates him for another term?!?!? The bigger story is Frey's failure as the elected solely responsible for police.

The meanings of political labels change over time, so there's no one term that describes this in an historically useful way, but for 150 years there have been those who care about working people and want to improve their lives, but will do all they can to prevent those workers from having power.

Dude will give u this pablum but all his political arm does is vilify anyone demanding actual police accountability. (I know this from personal experience) Frey doesn’t bravely confront painful truths, he attacks painful truth tellers.

Minneapolis People's Pride is just over 15% of it's $20k fundraising needs in order to put on a successful event in just over one month from right now. Please consider supporting this event that many people look forward to all year as a community-led Pride event. www.mplspeoplespride.com/donate
 I want to thank you again for being a People's Pride supporter. Since we launched our 2026 fundraiser last week, we've received an outpouring of support from our community, and are already past 15% of our goal!
Now is a great time to support our people-powered event. Our team is in the process of selecting vendors, performers, and more to get ready for the big day.
Consider making a gift today to ensure that our celebration is a success!Help People's Pride
Raise $20,000
Deadline: June 27th!2026 will likely go down as one of the hardest winters in our city's history. To those of us who spent the last few months caring for our neighbors: patrolling neighborhoods, keeping people fed and housed, committing small and large acts of bravery in the face of fascism, our team is so grateful to be in community with you.
Slowly but surely, our city is warming up again. The excitement, hopes, and dreams of summer are right around the corner, and the Minneapolis People's Pride team is looking forward to celebrating our community's history and culture of resilience & resistance with you.
Planning for People's Pride has been underway for several months. As always we have a full day of celebrations planned for the queer community. We're reaching out today because we need your help to make our June 27th event a success!Organizing a large event like People's Pride comes with a lot of expenses to ensure a fun, safe, and accessible Pride event. Your generous gift will help support the following:
• Covering event permit fees
• Paying performers at our two music stages
• Providing free food to People's Pride attendees
• Purchasing masks and hiring Deaf
Interpreters so that our event is accessible
• Covering a portion of the fees for tablers and vendors
As a community-based event, we can't make this happen alone. We remain committed to not taking sponsorships so that our event can celebrate the true political nature of the LGBTQIA+ community. That means we're counting on the support of our friends, neighbors, and allies to make this day possible.
After finalizing our budget, we need your help to raise $20,000 to make this year's event a success, so that we can continue to bring you a people-powered pride that celebrates our community's values in these difficult times.

Describing someone having any type of moral or political standard you don’t personally have a ‘purity test’ has done more to undercut movements than any so-called purity testing has ever done. Spreading that talking point is embarrassing & insidious.
