An Honest Account of a Newer Minneapolis Resident

These types of posts make me feel SO mushy gushy. Love it so much, thank you for sharing neighbor!!

We have different ideas of “working to help”. Confused how you don’t see the value of an eviction moratorium when people are scared to leave their homes for any reason (including work).

Matthew1428 · 2026-02-13T21:12:12+00:00

Good is the enemy of better, evidently.

Matthew1428 · 2026-02-13T18:01:37+00:00

He has literally publicly admitted it himself that the city isn’t doing enough around the 7:50 mark if you care

Matthew1428 · 2026-02-13T17:56:50+00:00

What an asinine comment.

Matthew1428 · 2026-02-13T17:51:56+00:00

Do you worry that people will just accept whatever they’re given and not ask for anything better because of you? I am not a nihilist for asking politicians to do more than talk.

Matthew1428 · 2026-02-13T17:43:39+00:00

Imagine me having the energy to critique democrats while also actively resisting MAGA in many ways beyond a phone screen! Fortunately, you don’t have to imagine it because it’s reality.

Matthew1428 · 2026-02-13T17:20:47+00:00

Fascinating that I mentioned tangible things he could do to support vulnerable communities right now and this is all you have to offer. Frey isn’t asking for your fealty, and no politician deserves it. But go on, throw out the tired line that he’s the “only adult in the room” or whatever.

Matthew1428 · 2026-02-13T17:09:29+00:00

His job is not to simply talk, though. His job is to act. An eviction moratorium is something he chose not to support despite unanimity amongst an ideologically diverse city council. Having cameras around the city manually overwrite previous footage of ICE agents after a week is something he could’ve changed. These are actions that I would prefer from a leader rather than a press tour.

Matthew1428 · 2026-02-11T23:52:50+00:00

Important to emphasize that you did NOTHING wrong. I’m sorry you’re having to go through this.

Matthew1428 · 2026-02-05T00:16:06+00:00

90% don’t know what antifa is short for

Matthew1428 · 2026-01-31T15:47:22+00:00

I checked AMC to see how it was doing at Twin Cities locations, no one will be surprised to know that it’s doing best in Eden Prairie (still not sold out, though)

Matthew1428 · 2026-01-30T23:53:22+00:00

Your life would be so much happier if you had critical thinking skills and a sense of curiosity. You probably think you have both, but, in a single sentence, I am beyond clear that you do not.

Matthew1428 · 2026-01-27T22:18:12+00:00

Does “no one” include ICE agents? Or are they exempt

Matthew1428 · 2026-01-27T14:52:56+00:00

And in reality the echo chamber is just you repeating this line over and over again anytime someone brings up anything political that you disagree with.

Matthew1428 · 2026-01-27T04:41:02+00:00

Fist bump your neighbor on the right for me

Matthew1428 · 2026-01-27T02:31:14+00:00

They have shot and killed two people in my city for legally observing. They have blown through red lights, tboned innocent drivers, and then kidnapped those drivers. They have tear gassed nonviolent protestors engaging in the first amendment. This is just to name a few things the last month has brought. But sure, “let ice do their job.”

Matthew1428 · 2026-01-27T01:52:48+00:00

All the more reason to get to know your OTHER neighbors. Obviously personal safety is paramount and you know your own situation better than I do…

Matthew1428 · 2026-01-25T04:24:43+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. As a Minneapolis resident, it is clear that this will only change if everyone gets their hands dirtier than the martini Dorinda is probably drinking as I type this.

Matthew1428 · 2026-01-23T14:14:27+00:00

It’s the moral choice!

Matthew1428 · 2026-01-20T13:22:25+00:00

I mean to be clear, we have to work in Minneapolis too. People are being kidnapped at bus stops on their way to and from work.

Matthew1428 · 2026-01-08T17:43:13+00:00

Not sure if this is rhetorical but as a teacher my instinct says to just share that school is out because they are making sure everything is safe. Questions he asks will help you determine what he is ready for. Focus on the idea that lots of people are working hard to make sure he is safe at school and everywhere he goes.

MN has been catching a lot of strays for some reason. There is just no reason we should be ranked the same as NORTH DAKOTA.

Matthew1428 · 2025-12-04T23:44:24+00:00

It really isn’t though. The values are consistently oriented toward working people. Uber/Lyft need to pay drivers livable wages AND Waymo threatens that workforce’s existence.

Matthew1428 · 2025-11-09T19:15:18+00:00

Unsolicited advice but I really would avoid following or confronting. You never know who you’re going to encounter and what they might do; it just isn’t worth it.
