@civilrights_lit @Joseph_Fasano_ Adore this poem. If I were to tattoo lines from “Diving into the Wreck,” I would pick “the wreck and not the story of the wreck/the thing itself and not the myth”

5 yrs ago Mayor @betsyhodges released the full Jamar Clark after-action report at a press conference w the police chief, took media questions & apologized where she could have done better. Now @MayorFrey is hiding his after-action from press & public. Don’t let him get away w it.

Our requests for the after-action report have also been rejected and I can't understand why. @mplsclerk

@AndrewMannix @MayorFrey @andreaforward8 @LineaPalmisano @mplsclerk And here it is. @AndrewMannix, think it’s coincidence they held this back long enough so you’d miss your print deadline? And why did they hide it when they could easily have done what @BetsyHodges did 5 years ago & just put the whole thing out there? lims.minneapolismn.gov/Download/RCAV2…

@AndrewMannix @MayorFrey @andreaforward8 @LineaPalmisano @mplsclerk Fair enough, but he takes direction from all of them. If they wanted him to make it public, you’d have it in a flash.

It is mind boggling that the city is continuing to hold this document from the public, even as the meeting has now started.

@mrotzie @kjellbs @YpresLove @BetsyHodges idk @mrotzie, since this story popped I’ve been double-checking for dirt: in the sock drawer, behind the fridge, under the couch cushions, even in my conscience, but no! Clean as a whistle over here 🎶 🎶 💅🏻💅🏻

@Little_Lair You don’t know me at all and are just making stuff up, just like you’re making it up about Kate. I’m not saying anything about who you are bc I don’t know you at all: I’m just calling you out for making up lies.

@RobinGarwood No, Robin. No, there is not anything Jacob won’t lie about.

Is there anything this guy won't lie about?
This particular lie is here, at mark 19:05 tpt.org/almanac/video/…

I'm sorry to have to be so blunt about this, but Jacob Frey is full of shit where it comes to stadium funding.
He actually said "I have not supported the form of corporate subsidies like [Knuth] did when she voted in favor of the Vikings stadium."
AHEM.

@shijundu @BreeMinneapolis @faaimed @kateknuth @StarTribune Good but it won’t be enough until the @StarTribune Twitter account also corrects the tweet. It’s hard to figure how you could both manage to make the same belittling, infantilizing mistake. How do you account for that?

@BreeMinneapolis @faaimed @kateknuth @StarTribune Fixing immediately and writing a correction. My apologies.

@mplsdiva And don’t let him get away with blaming the City Council, either.
English

@mplsdiva Ask him why, 17 months after the death of George Floyd and the destruction of Lake Street, 1) why he’s made no progress on rebuilding Lake Street, and 2) why voters still don’t have an after-action report on what happened so they know what went wrong and whom to hold accountable?

@mrotzie @alexschief @JCA_MN @dbrauer Google says it means Parliamentary Budget Officer, Portland Baroque Orchestra, or Prevent Blindness Ohio. You got this.

@violanorth @dbrauer The leader of healthcare Minnesota is not driven by values, he is driven by a desire to be a kingmaker. I’m so happy I can say these things publicly now because fuck that guy
