They now ask us, too, and we practice that it’s okay to be disappointed and also FINE if we ever say no. This is about Cornell. 662082

Annie loves Mpls @anniekp.bsky.social · 21/09/2026When someone closed a call today and said they were going to reference words that brought us together this winter, I really thought they were going to close it with “Fuck ICE” they chose something else. Anyway. FUCK ICE. 4200

Annie loves Mpls @anniekp.bsky.social · 16/09/2026No decisions have been made.

It's week 2 of school. Way to kick off the school year. Hugs to all of you. 170
Annie loves Mpls @anniekp.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I want an answer: MPS enrollment is poor. 53% of student age Minneapolis residents is ridiculously low. HOW does this plan address that? When schools close, families LEAVE. When people ask "where should I send my kid?" and they hear "MPS is closing schools", they look elsewhere. 191
Annie loves Mpls @anniekp.bsky.social · 16/09/2026If you are a Minneapolis resident, and especially if you are a parent of a school aged child (or like me, children who will soon be school aged) it is time to LOCK IN. The district wants to close schools. Many. They're giving us about 2 months to "engage" and "comment". Get loud about this NOW. 2204
Annie loves Mpls @anniekp.bsky.social · 16/09/2026The district did not build in an accountability mechanism if their assumptions about enrollment were wrong. Minneapolis, get on the horn and talk to the district about this. This plan will drive people from the district. How do they plan to account for that? What will they do? 010
Annie loves Mpls @anniekp.bsky.social · 16/09/2026yes, Greta's a good speaker, AND she is making points worth arguing with the district about How will this plan drive more people from the district?
