It bears repeating that the #Minneapolis city council president is a #Black #trans woman who in her first campaign for council specifically ran on a housing justice platform. In the meantime, she navigated the political turmoil after the #MPD murdered #GeorgeFloyd by joining the reactionary backlash against the #Defund movement (such as it was) because it had hurt her feelings by challenging her commitment to racial justice. She ran for re-election in 2021 on a cop- and capital-friendly law-and-order platform (and is doing so again this year).

Fuck #AndreaJenkins. This is the liberal weaponization of identity at its finest, and she made a choice to participate. Absolutely cynical and an utter embarrassment.

She could have stopped this vote but she didn't.
