Public hearing dates on the Minneapolis city budget have been announced. I advise aiming for the October dates. The Dec. 15 date is usually largely a formality. The cake is pretty much baked at that point. www.minneapolismn.gov/news/2026/se...

Took me way too long to read the phenomenal reporting @mollypeonies.bsky.social did on how MPD tore through its entire annual overtime budget in the traumatic early days of Jan. *surveilling us*—not responding to harm, not protecting folks from violent federal fascism—but wow. Worse than usele$$

I cannot forget hearing mayoral candidate DeWayne Davis speak—“Who is invited to the table??”—about this event at a rally with Omar Fateh & Jazz Hampton last fall. And I’m still sad & angry that we failed to elect one of those three leaders with a vision that celebrates/includes/uplifts ALL of us

This is an example of the privatization of social problems & the burden of individualism. This is neoliberalism, creating serious problems & strapping responsibility for fixing them on individuals. This is what I wrote my new book, Personal Responsibility, Inc. about.
