She/They #Minnesota now. Whole decades in #OrangeCountyCA, #WheatonIL, & #OmahaNE. Invested in people, community, data, the scientific method, history, & the future. Real justice is distributive not punitive. Born in St Paul, but love Minneapolis too.

The key to sanity — whether in difficult times or in easy times — is to keep your eyes on your best path forward, keep taking your own next indicated step, and keep taking the hands of those willing to walk that path together

This is me after being pepper sprayed by SPPD. The crowd was noisy but completely nonviolent. There was a lot of anger but no violence from the crowd- SPPD escalated.

Your constituents are begging you to take a public stand against this. I was literally kidnapped off the streets for doing nothing but filming their criminal behavior. DO SOMETHING.

These “law enforcement officers” are truly monsters. Subhuman. It is our DUTY and our MORAL OBLIGATION to stand up against unjust laws.

Whatever relative goodwill the SPPD had banked up was absolutely torched today by their actions on the East Side.
Truly shameful.
@melvincarter.bsky.social @mayorher.bsky.social I genuinely hope you understand how enraged and disgusted the people of our city are right now.

For those people who were never taught how to get rid of grease;
Rinse out a glass jar, pour your grease into it. Once it's solid it's good for the trash.

My sister died unexpectedly "around this week" 8 years ago now. I do not remember the exact day. I can remember so many things, so many dates, so many numbers. But I can never remember the *exact date.* Maybe because it was around Thanksgiving, and Thanksgiving always falls on different dates.

If messaging out of Minnesota’s GOP to Congresspeople is any indication, our state is going to spend 2026 drowning in messages targeting Somali community, immigrants, and trans folks.
These aren’t “distractions” they’re active attempts to scapegoat anyone seen as “other.”
We must stand together.

Minneapolis and Minnesota need to regulate robotaxis, now.
Waymo privatized another public street:
Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco
Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.
The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.
