Big praise for @taylordahlin.com for coming to the Schultz hearing and helping people understand how wonderful Robert was and what he meant to the community. She also came to my press conference and documented the process thoroughly so people could understand what was happening. She is a treasure.

i feel like there's a lot of benefit of the doubt being given to the nicollet mall events and i just want to remind people that transit being removed for these is not disruptive to the city, it's not an inconvenience, it's the entire point to the events and they told us this already. it's all public

Gun violence is pervasive in American culture. You don't tune in until it impacts your neighborhood and even then, it has become so common you become desensitized to it. What happened in Loring Park, my neighborhood, is part of this culture. [1]

This is where the overlay district for data centers could potentially be. I strongly oppose this. Our city should not give up its future land use to Big tech’s shareholders. There is a lack of political will for a data center ban, so downtown was carved out- no more should be added.
