This $1b number needs a fact check. If you add up the Feeding our Future numbers and other scandals, it is a significant number. But I am not sure how it totals over $1b. The NYT also threw out this number and now it's being repeated, usually with no mention of ring leader Aimee Bock.

Hey Minneapolis, let’s boycott the hell out of Waymo and it make it known they’re not welcome here.
If you really need a car ride, call a cab or order an Uber/Lyft so the money goes to the driver and not some tech company.
And let’s pressure the MN Legislature to ban driverless taxis at minimum.

Waymo, the driverless ride-hailing company, is bringing its fleet of autonomous electric vehicles to Minneapolis.
Ridesharing without a driver? It's coming to Minneapolis
Testing will begin Thursday morning. No date has been set to start offering rides to passengers.

Absolutely not. The solution to safer streets and healthier neighborhoods is *fewer* cars, not more.
We have a lot of evidence about what works (e.g., more accessible, affordable public transit) -- let's invest in that.

Chicagoans are making, sharing, and printing designs for whistles that can warn people when ICE is in the area. The goal is to “prevent as many people from being kidnapped as possible.”

Why did Jacob Frey delete his electronic communications from the day that MPD collaborated with an ICE action on Lake St in Minneapolis?
What did he say? What did he learn? What did he direct?
Our public officials should not be destroying the official records of their actions.
