Ann Arbor is on the cusp of launching its first non-police public safety response program! I've been working with others to make this a reality, and keeping police out of the program has been a key value of our advocacy. #a2council
Yes! I've seen @A2schools restrict parent access to the buildings. I now feel less connected to the teachers, school community, and other parents. This is a greater threat to student health and wellbeing than the very low risk of an active shooter. https://t.co/zd2gz2QqGX
Today, we begin to collectively heal from the horrific events which transpired, tomorrow we work.
My official statement regarding the Michigan State University shooting is below:
Fuck your thoughts and prayers.
@KernelEnchilada The liberal agenda shows itself again with calls for public investment in education to advance the common good. I see you, Brian, and I know what game you're playing
Disgusted by the attacks on Pete Martel. My background is interfaith organizing, so I keep going to how in Judaism, Moses had killed a gov official and fled the country to avoid a death warrant. His second chance worked out pretty well. Why not Pete? https://t.co/uZwxjxqpIw
@mi_cemi What burns me up is the MDOC spokesperson's trashing of the report. Rather than using this as a chance to celebrate the progress they made since 2021 bringing phone fees down, they decided to make baseless attacks on the report.
Bad look, MDOC, bad look
#A2Council if we have a housing crisis, maybe we should consider not forcing nonprofits providing transitional housing to jump through extra hoops like running postcard-noticed neighborhood "feedback" meetings just to put on modest additions to house more people.
@KaiPetainen “There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”
I feel like my life will be better with 1 less social media app, but if Twitter dies I'll really miss the #a2council chatter.
So, if this is my last tweet, so long and thanks for all the fish.
@danielmunro@bdimcheff Looks like you can do 2fa w/ email, but that just cues an export. You are promised an in-app notification when the download is ready. Taking bets?
@greenkate@juliablough@no_face@A2schools@learnforjustice But when I signed up to coach Science Olympiad, nobody said, "our rule is not to be in a room alone with a student." By focusing on the false security, the district is missing the opportunities to promote true security.
@greenkate@juliablough@no_face@A2schools@learnforjustice If you go into a house of worship, you'll notice the clergy offices now have windows on the doors (at least of the ones that are paying attention). They've learned to deploy behavioral strategies that reduce the risk of sexual assault.
