Articles about how “Minneapolis has changed” since George Floyd was murdered by MPD 3 yrs ago today, are already circulating everywhere.
Many of those are fiction. MPD continues to have an increasing budget and Mayor Frey is still at the forefront of blocking progress.
Watching ATL vs Dallas and emotional hearing the announcers use them/them pronouns with @A_Hooper25. I’ve never got to experience this as a spectator before. It’s a small thing with a huge impact to feeling seen and represented. The @WNBA is so important.✨🫶🏽
The way that you end crime—the only way we actually know works— is by ensuring that people have access to resources like healthcare, housing, and food. That they're raised in safe homes, by parents who have the resources they need. That they get a good education and a good job.
Today is my 32nd birthday.
Over the last month, I asked several 90-year-olds what advice they would give to their 32-year-old selves.
Here's the life advice everyone needs to hear:
If you’re in Hennepin County please text your people and remind them to vote for Mary Moriarty for Hennepin County.
If you want any sort of justice for people here, even if you hate voting, go vote for Mary. Her opponent is reprehensible.
There’s a lot going through my mind after today’s council, but I need to make one thing clear:
City Council could have put a stop to violent encampment evictions and chose not to.
So no, playing despite the circumstances doesn’t make me feel strong or resilient. It makes me feel like a robot. Emotional trauma is constantly in my shadow. People constantly asking questions. There is no escape. There is no way to cope. You just try to survive the day.
I’m sorry but Diana Taurasi needs to just retire. She’s always been like this; now she’s simply slow enough — and enough games are on TV — that everyone can see it. She needs to be suspended for this garbage, at minimum. And to turn around and cry that SHE got fouled? Go home.
