As a person who is pretty familiar with receiving veto letters from Mayor Frey, let me remind you: In his ~6 years as Mayor, Jacob Frey has vetoed 9 Council actions. Of these, all were authored by Councilmembers who represent Southsiders. 7 were authored by people of color.

OK geniuses, 48 years ago the minimum wage would cover rent. Pay more and you’d be fully staffed 💡
51% of small business owners say there are job openings they cannot fill. That is more than double the 48-year historical average.

Shame on the @MetOpera for locking out stagehands. @IATSE has worked for decades to secure fair wages and working conditions for @MetOpera workers. The Met would not be The Met without its workers, and to lock them out during a pandemic is despicable. iatsecares.org/2020/12/08/ia…

Every GOP Senator who refused to give Garland a vote & now agrees to vote for a Trump SCOTUS nominee will forever be remembered as a monumental hypocrite. And McConnell will live in infamy as the man who destroyed the Senate & the Court through his own lust for power.

We can’t talk about what’s happening in Minneapolis tonight without talking about what’s happened to Black Minnesotans in the last 4 months. 4 years. 400 years. HALF of Black Minnesotans are unemployed. Record numbers of ppl are experiencing homelessness, food insecurity and all

Many of us have been sickened by the codewords used to smear @IlhanMN and her commitment to her community this primary. Let’s talk about @IlhanMN’s love of this district and the people in it.

Tying healthcare to employment is wrong — before, during, and after a pandemic. Pass #MedicareForAll now.

It’s once again the first of the month and countless Americans still have no means to pay their bills or make rent. RT if you agree we need to pass my bill to provide Americans with $2,000 monthly payments throughout this pandemic.

Why is it always "people don't trust the police" and never "people grasp the oppressive historical function of the police"?

Shep posted a similar thing on Facebook, and many people were quick to disagree with him and tell them why. Instead of engaging with us, or even acknowledging our comments, he DELETED every dissenting opinion
