The MPD recently published clearance rates. I think Minneapolis residents deserve to see these numbers every quarter or year. MPD closes far fewer cases in every category other than homicide than the national average.

I have in my hands definitive evidence that my opponent has committed a world-historic evil. Evidence that, were it to be released to the public, would cause his supporters to abandon him and his entire world to crumble to dust. I therefore have no choice but to give in to every one of his demands

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

My entire life has been an exercise in Republicans making things worse, democrats getting elected to fix the bad things, republicans stopping them from fixing the bad things and then republicans getting voted in to make things worse. It’s incredible to think republicans may have broken that cycle.
The Trump administration is making peoples lives worse and an almost fractal away, from the petty to the genocidal. My best hope is to make sure that when something happens to an individual and their life gets worse, whether in tiny or big ways, they correctly blame Republicans for it.

At Josh Ritter with my fiance who loves Pride and Prejudice and the group behind us is talking about how awful the book is. I’m laughing so hard I felt the need to turn around and explain that she’s had me watch at least 2 versions.

I’ve been thinking about rent control a lot lately.
The thing is, the wealthiest already have it effectively. Mortgages don’t get readjusted every year. It’s only the people who can’t afford to buy that we raise housing cost on every year.

There is a still time for a BIG WIN in Minneapolis. Settling the contract w/ enforceable class sizes would be such a bright spot in this city and we can do it!!!

My daughter asked for a hunger games themed birthday party. So I got to spend my afternoon hunting children as a mutated bunny as they tried to murder each other with cardboard weapons. It was immensely satisfying.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Jeff Sherman “I’m tired of politicians standing next to families, but when push comes to shove they want no real accountability” city attorneys have appealed all the way to the Supreme Court to avoid discovery in the Amir Locke murder case. Those attorney’s work for the mayor.
