AbsintheBusinessInsider: The mayor of Minneapolis joked that remote work turns you into a 'loser' with a 'nasty cat blanket' ... "When they stay home, sitting on their couch with their nasty cat blanket, diddling on their laptop. If they do that for a few months, you become a loser. It's a study. We're not losers, are we?" <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/minneapolis-mayor-joked-remote-work-turns-you-into-a-loser-2024-2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.businessinsider.com/minneapolis-mayor-joked-remote-work-turns-you-into-a-loser-2024-2</a><a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/MN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MN</a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/Mpls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mpls</a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/RTO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RTO</a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/JacobFrey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JacobFrey</a>

benjamin melançon(I heard <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Minneapolis" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Minneapolis</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Mayor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Mayor</a> of <a href="https://social.coop/tags/lies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#lies</a>, <a href="https://social.coop/tags/police" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#police</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/killings" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#killings</a>, and <a href="https://social.coop/tags/violent" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#violent</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/gentrification" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#gentrification</a>, <a href="https://social.coop/tags/JacobFrey" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#JacobFrey</a>, was also at the <a href="https://social.coop/tags/pride" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#pride</a> parade. Remember, <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Frey" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Frey</a> rhymes with "lie" not with "gay"— the handful of people who know his persecution of <a href="https://social.coop/tags/houseless" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#houseless</a> people and saw him told him off, but it's outrageous that any place <a href="https://social.coop/tags/justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#justice</a>-minded people gather doesn't run off a <a href="https://social.coop/tags/dangerous" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#dangerous</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/grifter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#grifter</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/politician" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#politician</a> like him. He's currently thwarting <a href="https://social.coop/tags/RentControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#RentControl</a> while mercilessly punishing the victims of high <a href="https://social.coop/tags/rent" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#rent</a>.)

benjamin melançonBut far from encouraging any of the unused city land for this, that sits year after year with developers not wanting to pick up for a mere $10K and build housing on, mayor <a href="https://social.coop/tags/JacobFrey" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#JacobFrey</a> is completely opposed to truly affordable housing.

benjamin melançonOver & over & over again in <a href="https://social.coop/tags/JacobFrey" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#JacobFrey</a>'s <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Minneapolis" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Minneapolis</a> … again all this week and, to the people i've been closest to, next week:<a href="https://social.coop/@mlncn/110102070567691467" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://social.coop/@mlncn/110102070567691467</a>

benjamin melançonIs everyone in this city really OK with violent force being used against people—for any reason, let alone to deny the human right to shelter—without even a court ruling?<a href="https://social.coop/tags/Minneapolis" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Minneapolis</a> under <a href="https://social.coop/tags/JacobFrey" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#JacobFrey</a> is a cruel, harmful, violent place.

TC Workers Defense AllianceDestroying the tents or self-made structures and bicycles and all other possessions of people who have no other shelter or transportation or much anything else is now a daily occurrence.Human rights violations committed by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MPD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MPD</a>, regulatory services, public works, by human beings paid by the people of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Minneapolis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Minneapolis</a> who go home to their own houses and families in some level of denial or sadistic satisfaction for following orders passed down from human rights violator in chief <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JacobFrey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JacobFrey</a>

If it is like last time, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MNDOT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MNDOT</a> will be carrying water for mayor <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JacobFrey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JacobFrey</a> and his local propertied oligarchs by initiating this, but the notoriously murderous <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MPD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MPD</a> will be providing much of the intimidation.

AlbatrossIn <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Minneapolis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Minneapolis</a> today, four days before Christmas, the temperature is -5F/-21C and a blizzard is expected. So today is the day when Mayor Frey and the Metro Transit Police decided to destroy an under-bridge homeless encampment and confiscate their tents and propane tanks. All homeless resources in the city are full. No mainstream news covered this story.

benjamin melançonAnd if you see <a href="https://social.coop/tags/JacobFrey" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#JacobFrey</a> anywhere keep asking him why his approach to "ending homelessness" is – rather than free housing – genocidal assaults and dispersion leaving people in ever more dangerous and desperate situations.Keep swatting away his platitudes and his attempts to make government violence sound benign and asking him why he orders human rights violations until he gets some security guard or cop to guide you away.As a nerd i am ashamed people at <a href="https://social.coop/tags/TwinCitiesCon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#TwinCitiesCon</a> allowed him photo ops.
