I hate to keep writing about All of Mpls, Jacob Frey's attack PAC, but they are increasingly unhinged in advance of the 2025 elections, so you might want to see what rhetoric the fancy & mad people in Minneapolis are swimming in. The email (thread below) is a wonderment of hyperbolic spin. 1/

All of Mpls email: Supporting a strong shelter system for the homeless is part of Minneapolis' responsible plan to limit the proliferation of dangerous encampments. However, the extreme, DSA- aligned City Council majority's recent rash decision to provide $1.5m in "emergency" funding to Agate, a homeless shelter in Elliot Park slated to close in two weeks, was counterproductive, irresponsible and had signs of political
favoritism.

Even for Jacob, he’s being remarkably pouty about the Agate funding.

They tip their hand in the FIRST SENTENCE. A "plan to limit the proliferation of dangerous encampments" is not the same thing as "a plan to reduce and prevent Minneapolis residents from becoming unhoused or unsheltered."

#NinnyBoyMayor just has his knickers in a twist because his cronies at Kraus Anderson who built a few new buildings in Elliot Park don't want a shelter as their neighbors, they wanted to gentrify the whole neighbourhood & want the so-called strong mayor to do their bidding.

2/ All of Mpls brands anyone voting against them "DSA-aligned" -- 9/13 Council Members here, not all DSA or close (Emily Koski!). Repairing a key l facility with dozens of beds - as the mayor sweeps encampments & lies about available beds (Strib-documented) - is only controversial to the mansion set
