In his closing speech
@keithellison
reflected on the intensity of the last four years in the country & our state. As the campaign ends, I’ve been thinking about one defining moment: the cataclysmic events Minnesotans lived firsthand as the world witnessed George Floyd’s murder.🧡

DOJ Report that after the murder of George Floyd, there was a 35% drop in MPD reporting racial data in police stops. Their reaction to the world demanding they stop hurting Black and Brown people: stop collecting data on Black and Brown people.

Minneapolis is pushing back on the Prof. Schultz report, saying his numbers are way off β€” by $100 million. Even if true, by their own calculations, police payouts in MPLS were 9X that of St. Paul from 2010 through 2020 -- and that was before George Floyd. twitter.com/CityHallScoop/

woman on IG has a story she ran by him this morning, gave him a thumbs down as they passed each other, he turned around and ran after her trying to talk, she said they were so ideologically different she didn’t want to, he asked if she was a coward and that’s why

I'll be playing this Thursday night at George Floyd Square (38th & Chicago) with some MN Orch colleagues and about 40 singers as part of the 3rd annual Rise & Remember commemoration. If you've never been, it's an indescribably wonderful event. Please come.

Medcalf: At George Floyd Square and beyond, the vow to never forget continues
The "Rise and Remember" event to mark the May 25 anniversary of Floyd's murder is a testament to a community's strength and perseverance.

They did what politics is supposed to be about: improving people’s lives. Minnesota told the world that no matter who you are, where you come from, or how you identify: you are welcome and supported here. Proud to be a Minnesotan.

It's hard to encompass in one article all of the policy wins in Minnesota over the past five months. As their legislative session ends today, @ryanlcooper does his best with a recap, including some things that look positively Nordic: prospect.org/politics/2023-

Listen, I wasn’t a β€œboycott Target” guy… but walking into a store right now is like walking through a museum of mental derangement. Every leftist dogma is just blasted in your face, every aisle. It’s worse than it’s ever been.
