Let's try it again, it'll work this time! 🫠🫠🫠 I have a 2nd grader and won't be personally impacted much, but my sister with 2 high schoolers will see her kids lose a bunch of friends and staff connections *again* bc of the district's great idea.

The district proposal to further fracture community right now is heartless. Imagine thinking that school closures and boundary shifts (moving thousands of students) is a good plan for a district struggling to keep and attract families.

A rushed and reckless plan to close 17 schools is the last thing our district needs right now. Our children are our everything, and they deserve a district that takes its time, engages with families, and builds a plan actually rooted in the needs of our community: not this.

Just last year, the MPS finance dept announced huge mistakes that caused schools to miss out on millions of dollars of funding. Fixing problems like this wasn't mentioned in the Transformation Plan.

MPS loses money every time a student enrolls in another district. They didn't mention trying to attract the thousands of kids who live in Mpls and attend charter schools.

Tonight MPS announced their "Transformation Plan" which will close schools and move school boundaries, uprooting thousands of students. The *students* will suffer, lose friends, lose connections. Kids were just shuffled around during the CDD, just 6 years ago.

Tonight’s presentation of the MPS Transformation Plan made one thing clear: we cannot move forward with these options. Rushing to close at least a dozen schools is irresponsible.

There is a parent (robot?) advocating for more tech based homework for elementary school students and they're getting eaten alive in the comments section. Parents/caregivers of 5-11 year olds overwhelmingly don't want mandatory screen time homework for their kids... This should be obvious

It genuinely blows my mind the degree to which people in power do not grasp (or just refuse to acknowledge) that encampments are preferable to shelters for a whole lot of people, for a long list of reasons.

The way the news media escalates the shooting of police officers over any other kind of people is really revolting. They do not have a higher status. They signed up for the job.

The one secretary is enrolling new students, onboarding new staff, dealing with supply, key, room, tech, etc questions from 30 teachers, scheduling the principal's meetings, balancing the school budget and so much more!! Those jobs are so undervalued, understaffed and underpaid. Give them grace!!!

Former school secretary here, asking my fellow parents/caregivers to stop calling the school office with every tiny little question you have. Yes, we all want to know who our kid's teacher is, but it's not an emergency. Poke around on the school portal for 5 minutes and you can figure it out!

Today at the fair I asked a volunteer at Amy Klobuchar's booth what Amy thinks about ICE and she stumbled through a non-answer before saying "I just don't want to tell you the wrong thing." IDK y'all I think not having any kind of platform is kinda bad! Her lawn signs don't even say she's a DFL'r!

Asked why the WNBA continues to experience these heightened distractions, Cloud said, "Men."
"The men now that are like 'Oh, we need to protect the WNBA,’ y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't be paid," Cloud continued. "Y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't have been invested in, saying we're a joke, the same ones that don't respect Black women. So, if you're going to protect women, that means all women. That includes Black women, trans women and the list goes on."

I thought this was an annoyance unique to walking past the "Karen the Camera" house. Then, while doorknocking, a ring camera announced, "you are being recorded"- I was on the public sidewalk, and several cameras from houses I knocked asked me to leave a video message. They are creepy cameras.

I also strongly endorse e-bikes. I rode 12 miles yesterday, lots of stopping and starting, and the pedal assist is so nice to have. It's also great when I have a 50 lb kid and 20 lbs of groceries/beach equipment/school supplies in the cargo areas. #bikempls #ebike

Sometimes I just sit around stewing about how ride or die so many Minnesotans have been, how they showed up through sacrifice big and small. They made the bad guys push through them at every step. Gave up nothing for free. And the best governor we’re being offered is Klob. It’s embarrassing.

Overall, a great day in South Minneapolis filled with biking, community, music and great food. #Minneapolis #BikeSky

Finished off the day at Arbeiter Brewing, where Lake Street Council is hosting a free, family friendly music festival. If you listen closely, you can hear "Misbehaving" playing in between bands 😂

This was followed by a trip to the Midtown Farmers Market, where students at a local music school were playing violin, and I got eggrolls and fresh, local veggies (no poop lettuce here).
