One of my favorite things about kids is how they love to make adults laugh. If something gets a laugh once, they will say it or do it again and again and again to try to get another laugh. It works every time on me.

One thing that’s interesting about Behavioral Crisis Response in Minneapolis, as it’s currently run, is that one of the external seeds that led to it was during the 2018 budget season (so this time of year, deciding on the city budget for 2019). That year Frey wanted to hire some new cops

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

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

Bike theft is not just a Minneapolis problem. Every city I’ve lived in with 100,000+ people, every apartment or house with a locked garage, has got broken into by bike thieves.

This is a nice sentiment, but I need bike people to understand how pervasive bike theft is in any city of 100,000+ people. I would have to store an e-bike (or really any bike) inside of my tiny house. Garages in my neighborhood get broken into all the time.

To all the “good liberal white” Ed Reformers “speaking up for Black families” in response to the Transformation Plan…Please stop. 😐 It’s not a good look. Black people invented resistance to institutional oppression in this country. We don’t need you speaking on what you think you know.

My hot take is that white people should not be making a movie about the very real terror and trauma that Black and Brown people experienced PERIOD, but they should especially not release it LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER IT HAPPENED. My god.

“solutions like closing schools are not really meaningful solutions,” says christin crabtree, running for minneapolis school board. “what that does is it shrinks the number of kids, it shrinks the level of stability in our district, and we end up responding to disinvestment with disinvestment.”

I just got done speaking to 500 minneapolis families from across the city on why I support delaying the MPS closure plan. After COVID, the CDD, and Operation Metro Surge our students need stability. This plan is rushed & still leaves many questions about the district’s financial future unanswered.

a new study shows that closing schools does not save money in the end, as students withdraw from the district entirely to attend school elsewhere www.edweek.org/leadership/c...

Closing a School? Don't Expect to Save Money, a New Study Warns
The hope is that closing schools can reduce fixed costs. A new study looks into whether that happens.

True in June 2025, even truer after Operation Metro Surge. Trans comrades were central to grocery delivery operations, rent funds, patrol, giving rides…. If trans people belong to a cult (cf. Will Stancil), that cult is mutual aid and solidarity. Where politicians fail, trans people prevailed.

call me crazy,,,, but I think if a park is one of the crown jewels of Minneapolis' beloved park system it should have at least one (1) single bathroom facility open on a Saturday morning, or at least a portapotty, so kids on any of the five playgrounds don't pee themselves for lack of a place to go

Every time we hear "The homeless people didn't use the resources we offered," the next questions should be "What specific resources did you offer? Were they actually meant to be helpful to people you claim to want to help? Did you offer actual shelter? Did it accommodate couples? Pets? Wet or dry?"

If you object to public-funded housing of homeless people, in the end the objection cannot be the cost, because we pay a premium to be cruel to homeless people. At the bottom of the objection will always sit dehumanizing cruelty and a desire for eradication.

Did you know that the HCAO does not use truancy court and instead connects youth and their families with the support they need to get kids back in school? The program is called Be at School and you can hear about it in the latest episode of our podcast, “We Don’t Have to Choose.”

My point is that we have a very bad system and, even when an eviction is justified for the protection of others, there are still downsides and a combination of a terrible social safety net and rampant gun ownership create horrifying outcomes like this.

I have long told my clients facing displacement that evictions are a form of violence. An eviction is never the first bad thing to happen to someone, and is often the tipping point that kicks off full-blown crisis and a rapid downward spiral. The shootings today were a tragedy beget by tragedy.
