The Mayor & police chief called #AmirLocke a suspect and he was not. The mayor said he banned no-knock warrants and he did not. Did it feel good, Minneapolis, to suspend your disbelief for a few minutes in the ballot box last fall? They’ve shown you who they are.

For non-Minnesotans, when right wingers like Loomer tell you @IlhanMN is for sharia law & anti-gay, you’re being played (can’t believe this needs to be said). Ilhan is a feminist, an ally of the LGBTQ community who took heat for supporting marriage equality. Loomer is a bigot.

What is happening in Minneapolis right now is a rebellionβ€”of the police against the city they work for. The way they get back at people-esp politicians-who criticize them is to get violent with protestors. They know electeds might be held accountable but they never will be.

There is something odd happening with reporting of crime in Minneapolis these days. First, almost every reporter relays MPD’s statements as fact, even as they have all seen as recently as in their original recounting of Floyd’s murder, that MPD has a problem with the truth.

@eugenegu @NewDay @JodiDoering I love your social media clout. You usually use it to good effect, but here you sound like a stereotypical male doctor talking down to a nurse. This is a weird, hostile take on the words of a nurse fighting disinformation and speaking from her own experience. Check yourself doc.

The best argument for keeping cops out of schools is being made by police themselves when they tell us they won’t do the job unless they can choke your kids. Did you know there is no special certification cops in schools are required to passβ€”like school nurses do?

People being depressed when literally millions of votes have not been counted in all of the key states are doing Trump’s disinformation work for him. He is not ahead. We do not know who is ahead until the votes are counted. Everyone needs to chill TF out.

Shout out to @MelisaFranzen , the DFL Senate Minority leader who led the charge to victory in that chamber. It’s bittersweet because she will no longer be in the senate due to redistricting and a male colleague whose ego was more important than caucus leadership.
