It was an honor to speak at AFSCME’s joint day on the hill this morning.

I was followed an hour later by Sen. John Hoffman who repeatedly demanded that leadership play this 1979 PSA:

It is horrifying to see the media going from:

“Trump launches unconstitutional war on Iran”

to: “Will Trump’s Iran gambit pay off?”

inside of a week.

These are extraordinarily dark times.

It’s a great question. I’ve seen a number of different estimates of cost per curb mile but not much on man hours.

I’ll have to keep poking

A clean environment is a material need. So are parks, trees, trails. All of it is essential to a safe, healthy and vibrant city.

The idea that we can’t afford investments that make life better is a major part of how we get trapped in a cycle of under-investing, in my opinion.

just because it’s how things usually are doesn’t mean we should accept it!

Wow, the great David Brauer guilty of austerity mindset in the first degree. Sad.

In part because we only fully sweep twice a year, which seems crazy to me.

Not me. I’m stewing in righteous anger. We’ve got to do better.

The city is absolutely filthy and it’s a major bummer. More street cleaning would be a big public value.

Logging on to tell you that the Mayo Clinic's annual profit is equal to HCMC's entire operating revenue.

However can we find the money to save our bedrock safety net hospital? 🤔

Yes, That Mancini’s: How a Legendary St. Paul Steakhouse Raised $35K for the Resistance - Racket ‘The Gathering for Good’ brought the West 7th neighborhood together.

I've long said that Mancini's is my favorite restaurant in the Twin Cities.

Now it is my favorite in the world.

Affordability is a poisoned chalice for Dems. It had a moment (kind of) but you can't deliver it and it doesn't mean anything.

The platform that actually makes life affordable is extending human rights to things like healthcare, and that's a far more compelling vision than coupons for basic needs.

Authoritarianism is rising because our democracy was failing before Trump.

When pro-democracy forces take back power, we can’t just restore the status quo. We need to change a political system that gives oligarchs a veto over working people.

We need a new democracy.

Trump = tax cuts. Tax cuts are always bad. Anyone who disagrees is a closet Trump supporter.

I mean this literally.

They showed up to a snowball fight and acted like they were getting attacked. If they had any self-respect they would have returned fire. Might have even earned them some good will.

Instead they stomped around like a bunch of sad sacks and waited for their union to call it attempted murder.
