I was genuinely dismayed that this very good dig on St Paul didn't get the round of applause it deserved
“on saturday i went downtown and thought i was in DC because there were so many cops then i thought it was in st. paul because nothing was open.” people laugh
“you’re laughing at a veteran,” says peterson. more silence

Thanks to Rep. Koegel, Sen. Dibble and Rep. Jones for speaking the truth that the budget is being unfairly balanced on the backs of transit riders (and the future transit system we should be building), while road funding is protected. #mnleg (1/2)

After a powerful day of organizing, the Ward 10 Convention ended with us in first place with 52% of the delegates. This win is a testament to our transformative work together over the last 4 years and the power of our vision of a city where everyone has what they need to thrive.

Having served on a Community Advisory Committee, I think a lot about how we need parks to be a third space for everyone in the community.
Too many want parks to be an extension or their backyard and not something for visitors outside the city or even the neighborhood to enjoy.

It’s important to have at least one mug that, when you drink out of it, everyone knows you are absolutely not okay.

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs.
Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

This is a good time to tell your elected members of the domestic opposition that when they ask the hard questions you've got their back
we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.

The years between 2020 and now feel like a long sleep from which I'm just now waking up.
I can't say I want those years back, but I have so much to do.
My life is fine, but I'm impatient.
