Mayor Jacob Frey, Governor Tim Walz, Public Safety Commissioner Bob Jacobson, and MN lawmakers preparing for the next legislative session in February must can and must act immediately to protect civil liberties and community safety at a moment of intensified federal operations on our city.

ICE killed a member of our community today. ICE showed up at my kid’s daycare today. ICE is bragging about the number of families they’ve torn apart in a matter of days, and promising that their campaign of terror isn’t done.

Important note for folks in leadership:
"Hate speech" is not the same thing as "Speech that *I* hate".
"Hate speech" is not the same thing as "Speech that *I* hate".
Just for an example to drive this home:
The Feminist Caucus is insisting in social media posts and in official emails that I am "mean."

Yesterday, the Attorney General asserted that "hate speech" is not free speech.
Today, the President asserted that speech that is "mean" or "unfair' to him is "hate speech".
Water funparks have slopes that are less slippery than this.

Real talk? EVs are already some of the "sportiest" cars on the market right now.
Case in point: my family recently bought a car with excellent acceleration and handling (classic "sporty" characteristics).
That car? A used 2017 Chevy Bolt.

#OnThisDay July 22 1850: The riverboat "Yankee" leaves St Paul on a record setting trip 150 miles up the Minnesota River far into Blue Earth County, proving the River navigable for large steamships. At that point the captain turned back only because "swarms of mosquitos were proving too much."
