  • Every second of coverage that Jacob Frey gets is a centrist distraction from a sincere conversation about what’s happening in Minneapolis. He is uninterested in doing anything that helps anyone vulnerable in this city. He bumbled his way through the uprising in 2020 (on the side of “restoring order”), he constantly had homeless communities bulldozed, and now again he’s distracting people with stern-sounding rhetoric while doing nothing to support the community.

    The precinct map for the 2025 mayoral election (which Frey won) overlays neatly with the city map of ICE activity this month. That is, the parts of the city that supported Frey are being less affected by ICE raids and kidnappings. He doesn’t care about protecting immigrants and BIPOC community members because they’re not “his people.”
















  • I really appreciate you writing this up! All valid points. I recently learned what exposition means (I’m a native English speaker, but it was new to me.) It sounds like a lot of what you didn’t like is exposition in dialogue, and I agree - when I notice it, I instantly think less of the writing.

    Also, great points about the characters being unfamiliar with these unique childless-world experiences even though it’s been their reality for 18 years.

    Thanks again for taking the time.
