If anything the mayor who should resign is St Paul's. Frey isn't good and I don't like him, but it's regular old bad at your job not good, not did something so bad he should be forced out. St Paul's mayor on the other hand, probably (w/o me knowing all the details) crossed the resign threshold.

Door knocked by the Anders Folk Campaign, always a positive sign for you as a candidate when your door knockers say "I don't agree with everything he does, or all his policies." Sure... but then why are you door knocking for him?

MPD still can’t answer questions about where all the money went. And now, Frey is directing them not to testify before the Council. What are they covering up? What don’t they want the public to know?

Every time one of these stories comes out, it's shown that the parents were actually abusive. There is an asymmetry where the parents are given a platform by Christian nationalist orgs and Fox News while the state cannot discuss any details due to privacy. So the narrative is set by the parents.

I'm digging into some historical Freeway planning reports, and it is wild to see what people thought freeways would do before they built them. A study in Minneapolis 1957 said that freeways in Minneapolis would both immediately increase Minneapolis property values and might stop suburbanization.

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.

Got in an article at the UMN Econ department: cla.umn.edu/economics/ne... I think partnerships like this are great and should be done more often. The structure sometimes takes some ironing out, especially with a new class, but it's a useful program to both students and the Met Council.

I still think me favorite reform idea is 2 Supreme Court nominations per presidency. Doesn't allow for unlimited back and forth packing, and gives a better structure to the court that reduces the McConnell-esque gamesmanship. Still not perfect, but better than now and better than packing.

Seeing a lot of "here's how I'd optimize the State Fair experience" on the tl. At some point, you have to accept that the State Fair is not built for convenience. Like Disneyland or a professional sports game. If you want to revel in how the Fair is a big, monocultural thing, this is the tradeoff.

It's a really bad trend to start locking down things on campuses because once you start, you typically don't stop. It's also not a slippery slope to say an entire University campus could be entirely closed off to non students/professors... because Columbia literally already is.
