oldhead advice from an oldhead.
every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown"
and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work
gotta build for long term

What I observed today is ICE agents wildly driving through the streets, doubling the speed limit, passing cars on narrow roads. Stopping randomly in the middle of the street. ICE's goal is making mayhem.

End of the year shout out to my landlord who is raising our rent by 10% next year (aka nearly an extra month's rent a year), replaced their office assistant with an AI chatbot, and still can't figure out how to secure our packages 🫠 I'm sure the extra money will help!

MPD doesn't need another $38 million for yet another new building. Plowing sidewalks and traffic calming much better use of this money and will actually keep people safe.
🏆 Council Member Robin Wonsley has earned the Transportation Budget MVP award for amendments funding sidewalk snow clearance pilots, $2.3m for ADA ramp construction, $2.5m for traffic safety improvements, & $700k for protected bikeways.
