Earlier this month I joined the UMN Undergraduate Student Government for a student townhall on food insecurity with @doronclark.bsky.social and Rep Mohamud Noor.
25% of UMN students struggle to access healthy, affordable food on a regular basis. That is unacceptable.

"If the city’s goals are fewer car trips, more transit use and safer streets, winter pedestrian access is not optional. It is the point."
"Sidewalks are not a distraction from the city’s mission. They are the ground-level test of whether Minneapolis truly works for everyone...Walking is not optional. It is how people reach buses and trains, cross neighborhoods, access businesses and age in place."

Opinion | Shoveling sidewalks should be a priority for Minneapolis
If the city wants people to use public transit and age in place, they have to be able to safely get around after it snows, William Hendricks writes.

No matter where we come from, we all want to live a safe, dignified life with the people we love. Buying up warehouses for privately operated detention centers—including a proposed Woodbury, MN detention center— after ripping our immigrant neighbors from their families is vile.

Say no to Waymo.
Waymo has halted service in San Francisco after numerous videos & images showed its autonomous cars snarling traffic during the blackout.
With traffic lights down, Waymos across the city stopped dead in their tracks at intersections.

It was great to join @sorenwithward8.bsky.social and @twincitiesdsa.org for a post election townhall. Whether it's knocking doors or setting the terms of debate at City Hall, socialists are an undeniable force in Minneapolis.

Last week City Council unanimously strengthened our Separation Ordinance.
Yesterday, MPD helped ICE by doing crowd control while they kidnapped neighbors. Mayor Frey continues to let MPD use a loophole to work with ICE and only he can stop what residents witnessed yesterday.

Disheartening to see federal agents take two neighbors on 29th & Pillsbury. Chemical irritants were used on observers by them.
MPD showed up on scene, created a pathway for these federal agents to kidnap our neighbors, and assisted with controlling the space. Disappointing and heartbreaking.

MPD blew through their budget this year… and for what? Women of color like Allison Lussier and Mariah Samuels died after MPD neglected them. MPD left victims of racist violence like Davis Moturi left without answers. Amir Locke’s murderer was promoted to use-of-force training.
Amid criticism from council, Minneapolis police chief defends nearly $20 million in overspending
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said a hiring spree is a costly endeavor, while some council members decried a lack of oversight about a large overspend.

I’m horrified by the abduction of an undergraduate Augsburg student by ICE over the weekend. ICE pointed guns at students and staff and refused to produce a warrant despite being on private property.
