Your words are fire. 🔥 If I understand correctly, it can also be translated to any number of what should be for the public good and benefit of community (i.e health care, libraries, or here in Minneapolis a mental health crisis response service et al…)

Had to go to urgent cat with the cat tonight. She's okay but $$$. Turns out it's not *that* expensive to ship my buttons across the country. So, please buy my buttons for the low cost of "Pay what you want!" @ me and I'll DM you to get info. Please and thank you!

I have been trying Murder, She Wrote to stream. I can’t seem to find it on any of the subscription platforms w/o paying more to rent/buy. Do you have a service you use?

Unfortunate probably is not the exact right word. I am sad and very disheartened by all that is happening right now, and this hits particularly hard. And I will keep showing up to support the community for as long as I am able. Thank-you for your time and aiding my learning of the current landscape.

This is very unfortunate. Cuz content and analysis is solid. I have qs as to why not being covered by more reputable/trusted sources. Present company aside, as I know you have been. (When it was shared w/ me, I wasn’t familiar w/ this outlet). AND community deserves knowledgable awareness of impacts

I’m not trying to start any fights here. I wish we could support people who have a stake and knowledge in a particular area instead of tearing them down. I can’t speak to the source here, I can attest to my knowledge and lived experience as a community member and responder. And this is spot on.

That may be AND doesn’t change depth of this particular article. TBH, I am not sure why this is not in any of more recognizable news outlets or by one of our more known local journalists as it should be. The analysis is spot on and a person with specific knowledge would’ve had to have written it.

This is a very thorough and well written article. If you care about how Minneapolis responds to mental health emergencies, I encourage you to please read and share among your networks. AND reach out to your CMs. The next meeting in regards is Oct 7th.

Absolutely worth watching committee meeting from yesterday. Spot on Qs from CMs highlighting number of concerns. Pls reach out to your CM. This choice by city is not being made for the community and council has the power to not move it forward.

The presentation is just starting so I am gonna go focus on that, but yes, very unclear why this is framed as a critique of CR. Their contract did not include follow-up services and they have pushed to do more of that. And yes, availability of those services much outside their scope.

here are some horrifying reviews of community bridges’ rehab in arizona. definitely seems like the type of carceral addiction facility you’d get with a board of majority law enforcement! and this is the organization the city of minneapolis chose to replace canopy roots for BCR?

JesstheWanderer @jessthewanderer.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
The impact to the people being served will be felt as there likely will be inevitable gaps in service… possibly longer than the city accounted for, especially given this org has no presence here.

what the hell are “livability calls” and why do we need to create an additional category for these if they aren’t committing a crime and aren’t going through a crisis that would require BCR response? feels like a new and codified way to harass people existing in public and we know it will be

Highlighting the insight here that the city is framing “concern for other people in the neighborhood not the person in crisis.”

JesstheWanderer @jessthewanderer.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
What is missing from this context is the individual’s choice and what resources are actual available for the individual to be connected to in the moment. When people wanted shelter, most of the time there were no beds available. Similar with detox, etc.

if the BCR program was created in 2021 to move away from police responding to non emergency mental health crises, why would we select community bridges whose board has 4 cops, heaviest profession represented? 3 firefighters. 2 city staff / electeds 1 addiction specialist. 1 psychotherapist 4 COPS

This is such depressing news. Canopy Roots' BCR was one of the few big innovations in public safety after 2020 that Minneapolis continued. I am skeptical that bringing in a new org from AZ is the right move.

This story is a great example of when @prisonculture.bsky.social speaks on picking something to focus on, organize around it, and keep at it! You don’t have to do it all, but what you do, could make all the difference.

This is a gutting betrayal of everyone inside and outside the city staff who worked to get this program, and of all the workers who made it run and made it into evidence that a non cop crisis response can exist in a city’s infrastructure.

It’s not too often I go days w/o thinking about Max Weber’s “the Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism.” Part of a theoretical foundation of how we got here, particularly in the role Calvinism and evangelicalism intertwines in this particular fascist social order.
