Hi there, I'm not actually new here! My account was hacked, taken over, and then abandoned. So I'm reclaiming my name, and slowly rebuilding my interesting "following" list - emphasis on politics, transit and urban planning, immigration, food trucks, and cute animals.
Info still emerging re federal agent killing of civilian at 26th & Nicollet.
My heart is w/ family, friends, loved ones, all of us. This happened b/c we are under federal occupation.
MPD Chief O’Hara working to secure scene. I’ll share more when more known. This is a tragedy.
Proud to endorse Tom Olsen’s reelection campaign (Mpls park Board). He’s a thoughtful steward for our cherished public spaces, and he really lives partnership.
I'm running for reelection for Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board to continue to serve as your At-Large Commissioner! I'm ready to use my experience to advance our common goal of a park system that serves everyone equally.

#NationalCatDay was yesterday, but with a pic like this one I know the kitties will forgive me for being a day late! Happy National Cat Day to those who celebrate!

A must-read for people in the Twin Cities. Do we want to be a region that reflects our greatest aspirations, or do we resign ourselves to mediocrity? Please read: Ignore bad-faith arguments against important transit projects https://t.co/Mcm5feru8n via @MNReformer
@deenafaywinter I’m so glad he did not ignore you! This list that JPC sent of stories you broke is a “best of” compilation. Thanks for your great reporting. Keep it up. Don’t let the Strib dim your light — we need you.
I touched base with @HennepinSheriff who described the law enforcement partners each playing a role. It sounds like @slppolice is handling the overall investigation. Many thanks especially to each of them, those first to respond, and those caring for the three people injured.
My heart goes out to the loved ones of the two people killed at Park Tavern in St. Louis Park, to the three people grievously injured and their loved ones, and to everyone who was there last night. The reverberations are felt across the Park, across the region.
There's an excessive heat warning in the Twin Cities until 8 p.m. today. If you need a break from the heat, find a cooling option near you using our interactive map. All are welcome. https://t.co/WQziWLcT70
Thank u @Ilhan@SenTinaSmith@SenAmyKlobuchar 4 visiting Whittier Clinic, & for support of @HennepinHC — a crucial part of MN’s health care community, Level 1 trauma ctr, training of MN’s medical professionals, etc etc. You ensure MN gets the federal support we need. Cc: @IlhanMN
How exciting to be present for the opening of the Mpls branch of Red Lake Nation College (#RLNC), the nation’s first urban college focused on serving the Native community. A beautiful and inspiring space. Massive congratulations to Chief Dan King and all the leaders involved.
I’m deeply saddened by the killing of Ofcr Jamal Mitchell yest in Whittier, and the violence that hurt an officer, firefighter, and bystander. I hope for their full recoveries. Ofcr Mitchell and his loved ones are in my thoughts, with all those affected by this senseless tragedy.
