I took this platform off my phone about 6 months ago. Haven't really missed it. I enjoyed all the folks I met here over the last 17 years, and the relationships that extended into real life. Time to move on.

We don't let public works take home snow plows for their weekend side gigs. Our firefighters have to leave the fire trucks at the station once they punch out.
So why does MPD get to use city squad cars and taxpayer funded liability insurance when they pick up off-duty work?

Most Minnesota charter schools are failing to make good on their promises
"The state’s charter school students are far less likely to meet grade-level standards for math or reading than their peers in traditional public schools."

Nearly 10 years ago, I met a Congressman from rural MN who drove around for hours to help a single Veteran get a pair of hearing aids so he could hear his dying wife’s voice. Never would have guessed then that #TimWalz would be in running for VP. youtu.be/kqoqiM5VGQk?si=Rs-K…

Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it.
(Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)

The urgent need for more affordable housing! The county (yours truly) shared the stage with the legislature, the city, a land bank (LBTC), a developer (@BelieveInHome), to talk about housing. I learned from all the participants. Thank you for the invitation.

Last week, @nickconfessore published a damning piece of investigative reporting that didn't get nearly enough attention. It exposed the orchestrated racist and homophobic campaign against "DEI" that many of us knew was occurring but couldn't prove. nytimes.com/interactive/2024…

If you told me that Biden called for expanding tutoring and summer learning so that "every child learns to read by third grade," and the House Speaker DIDN'T applaud or stand up, I wouldn't believe it... so here's the video to prove it
