That’s why I’m yelling so loudly about what’s happening inside Minneapolis Public Schools headquarters.
“It’s like they don’t want students to come back!”
Well, if growth doesn’t actually change the balance sheet, then why would they?

i've been warning about this since the late 2000s when it became clear that venture capital was not only not concerned with growing functional businesses, but that they actually refused to invest in anything that was actually profitable
businesses used to need to be useful & make money

Like many things in tech, what tech “disruption” has actually disrupted are the reality-correction mechanisms that cause other kinds of productive activities to fail and need to be corrected, and that applies to everything from information security, to infra reliability, to harmful business models.

A comrade has just lost a sister to domestic violence and houseless relatives have just suffered mass shootings in two separate encampments. So I’m in the Square thinking of this day 5 years ago. Found family, finding community, founding a place of resistance: George Floyd Square

Knowing that the Epstein files will be released soon gives me hope that the U.S. will at least be united in our disgust with folks who hurt children. 🙏🏾❤️

People scoff at the idea of free public transit. What about free books that you can borrow for weeks at a time? Is that ridiculous, too?

Felt some kind of way giving kudos for appointing Mark Hanneman as a MPD Use of Force trainer during a press conference. But I just think it’s a brilliant way to show that the progressive Jewish Southerner steeped in civil rights tradition tat I voted for isn’t beholden to libs and pesky leftists. 🦅

Funny how the mayor was parlaying with 38th Street businesses on June 3rd as ICE was raiding Lake and Bloomington and MPD came to my union trying to pull surveillance tape to catch the Boom Island killers. A Hill-Turnipseed, you say?

Y’all do know that when they said that we “had no rights which the White man was bound to respect”— they weren’t just talking about Black folks right? 👀🇺🇸

“Maybe Boelter’s wife was headed north with passports, cash, and weapons to finally escape her husband…hear her out!”
Boelter spent half the month over North at his failson camp. His wife could have driven to Canada any given weekend, bub.
Some folks finna hurt their own feelings.

In case you’re wondering who’s side they’re on, and who they protect.
LAPD is now joining the fray. They are firing rounds of less lethals

Winston “Boogie” Smith, was assassinated in Uptown 6/3/21 the day George Floyd Square was reopened, I believe, to lure us to protest in Uptown. Developers have long used civil or gang violence to terraform a city for plans already in the works. So, what’s up for Lake and Bloomington after June 3rd?

Found this book in The People’s Library in George Floyd Square.
I figured I’d go read this on a quiet bench this evening with only the sounds of children playing as we’ve fortunately avoided the storm.
