At the #CEEM Legislative Preview this morning Rep Murphy expressed concern that solar was using farmland.
We use 615x more land for ethanol and it produces 73x less vehicles miles per acre than solar.
We could "gain" another 8.4 million acres for food by replacing ethanol with solar.

@mayorcarter.bsky.social Watching your press conference today and you talked about SPPD being a peaceful and stabilizing presence. They were most definitely not that last week when they gassed peaceful protesters. If you want to stand with immigrants stop attacking those of us who are showing up.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

This is so disgusting. Neighbors and community members came out to protect our community. I spent 3 hours there. It was not a violent mob. They were gassing people repeatedly. If this is their idea of a separation ordinance we need something different, real sanctuary.

I feel this in my bones every day. I am so lucky in life, wonderful kids, amazing fiance’, bounced back from a divorce, meaningful job that I love and kick ass at. And every day I am exhausted and barely able to focus and just bone weary. And it’s not remotely directly attacking me.

My partner just owns the complete recipes from every single ATK episode, and she’s the supposedly neurotypical person in the household. Why own a subscription when you can just have it all on paper. Next we’ll just print out all of Wikipedia.

SPD pepper sprayed us over and over today, claiming they were making way for an ambulance on a road that was entirely blocked by several federal vehicles. The crowd would have made room for either a stretcher or ambulance as they have done at many protests.

Local police (SPD) are again doing ICE’s dirty work. Tear-gassing those of us trying to protect our neighbors.

Looking at Chief O’Hara’s disciplinary decisions published in the last few weeks I was really happy to see that out of 16 allegations in 9 cases he sustained 14 of the CCPO recommendations. The two he overturned, one he lowered and one he decided that there was merit despite CCPO recommendations.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Dr Katie Remington Cunningham said the police were skeptical at first but everyone she interviewed in the public safety ecosystem that had any interactions with BCR wanted more of it. Law enforcement wanted more support from BCR. It frees them up to do the calls only they can do.

Michelle Phillips, sociology prof at UMN who wrote “The Minneapolis Reckoning” said “the folks who interact with the behavioral crisis response team have glowing things to say”. BCR are emergency mental health response in leu of police response.
Think about how powerful that is.

At the MN Justice Research Center conference today.
Arlinda Westbrook of ELEFA (consent decree overseer) just asked “how much is the police taking on that is not required?”
In my experience on the CCPO, very very little. They keep telling us they are out of compliance due to lack of resources.

How do you think Chief O'Hara is doing? Want to share those thoughts in his official job review? Please reach out to me.

The MPD recently published clearance rates. I think Minneapolis residents deserve to see these numbers every quarter or year. MPD closes far fewer cases in every category other than homicide than the national average.
