Gamer, knitter,🐈‍⬛ mom, general specialist, sometimes I take pictures of stuff, and I work with computers. Not afraid of the block button. You mess with my peace, you're not worth my attention. I practice kindness, not niceness. Moss is the best plant 🌈

This is Minneapolis: Message from our superintendent

MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Minneapolis Public Schools
MPS Community,
As a social studies teacher, I remember teaching my students about some of the darkest moments in history to try and understand how they could have happened in order to prevent them from repeating. We studied the constitution, civil rights movements, government checks and balances, and the rule of law. I never imagined we would experience what is happening now in our own community, a moment that will itself be taught in future social studies classes.
While I know history will ultimately remember that our community united and was resilient, the trauma, pain, and loss that our students are enduring will have a dire and lasting impact. As educators and leaders, it is our responsibility to protect our students. We are called to act and speak the truth on their behalf.
The truth is that it is unsafe for our students and staff to live their lives as normal right now.
Students are being detained, families separated, and lives are being taken and disrupted in our city. Our students are witnessing all of this and they are afraid. Each day, I hear about heartbreaking and infuriating first-hand experiences from students and staff that nobody should ever have to live through.For our children, this must stop now. Our students need and deserve safety, stability, and calm for their well-being and to ensure they can learn. I call on federal officials to immediately restore the policy that designates schools as sensitive locations where immigration enforcement does not take place.
Our teachers and staff have once again shown why public education is the foundation of our community as we have supported our students in incredible ways. In a short time, we have created online learning opportunities, developed food supports with community partners, provided alternative transportation options, and connected families with other needed resources and supports. I am so grateful for our staff and honored to be your Superintendent. I am also sorry you're being asked to do more while also navigating this personally.
Our community's response has been incredible and humbling. I've seen the many ways in which neighbors have wrapped our schools in support from safety patrols to food support to advocacy. Thank you for everything you are doing and for showing the world that Minneapolis is a place that will stop at nothing to support our students.
Our students continue to inspire me with the care they show to their friends and community and by the leadership they are demonstrating.
It's a collective failure of adults when students must stand up for justice like this. They are rightfully demanding that leaders take action to keep them and their communities safe.Our students continue to inspire me with the care they show to their friends and community and by the leadership they are demonstrating.
It's a collective failure of adults when students must stand up for justice like this. They are rightfully demanding that leaders take action to keep them and their communities safe.
No matter what, MPS will always be here for our students and community. If you need support, please contact your school or visit this website to learn more about our response to increased immigration enforcement.
History will remember how we respond in these moments. I am proud of how MPS and Minneapolis have shown up. I encourage everyone to consider how you want to be remembered for this moment, because now is the time.
Superintendent Dr. Lisa Sayles-Adams

If you have facial unlock on your phone, consider turning it off. At the very least, most devices will still require a pass code to unlock after a restart. Is it much? No. But it's better than nothing.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

“[We] came up with an idea on pornography to make it so that the porn companies [must implement age verification, and] what happens is the porn company then says, were not going to do business in your state, which of course is entirely what we were after.
So we are doing it from the back door, we're starting with the kids, and then we'd have a national ban on pornography if we could.”
