It seems a lot of people think they know Minneapolis now. Our flaws. Our faults.
I hope my neighbors join me in reclaiming the narrative.
Minneapolis, through the eyes of someone who actually lives here:
A group of 6 comfort dogs from @K9ComfortDogs arrived in Minneapolis yesterday in the wake of a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School that left 2 children dead and 18 others injured, including 3 adults. The organization deploys comfort dogs from around the country following tragic events. Unfortunately, you’ve probably seen their incredible work before. When the dogs arrived, they took their place outside the school, wearing their "please pet me" vests, and offered love and support to anyone who needed it. 15/10 for all
According to Gun Violence Archive, this is the 285th mass shooting in the U.S. this year, and the 3,391st mass shooting since 2020. A mass shooting is defined as an event where four or more people are shot—either injured or killed—not including the shooter.
1) This is the executive order that establishes Trump as dictator. It’s also how Trump is going to get around the court orders and defy them. By forcing federal employees to do it or be fired. So now the president alone interprets law. There’s a lot to cover, so let’s begin⬇️
So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere.
And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time.
When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime.
What then?
Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden?
You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy.
You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military.
You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda.
You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy.
You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy.
You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for.
You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming.
You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation.
You just made women less safe and less free.
You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now.
You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket!
You just ushered in Fascism.
Because your cereal costs more.
Congratulations.

Remember when DeSantis was adamant that his “don’t say gay” law was about “protecting” kindergarteners? Now he doesn’t think the smartest high schoolers taking college-level courses can handle the existence of LGBTQ people.
One of these Governors signed a bill to provide universal school meals for the state and the other signed a bill to encourage child labor. Look at the kids, they tell a story.
