There is a reason you can’t go to the grocery store, get gas, or go to a high school football game in the west metro without being afraid… For about 1/4 of these assailants lives there has been literally ZERO consequences for criminal behavior… Why is anyone surprised?
Let us be very clear: there are no "roving Somali gangs terrorizing people." The Trump administration is, once again, using a campaign of hatred and fear to try and divide us. It will not work.

PJ Fleck was asked after the game how he's able shut out the haters and continue being himself despite the heat he takes publicly. His message, per usual, is worth a listen no matter what you think of the Minnesota Gophers' head coach. "We will never ever, ever, ever take winning for granted... I don't think there's any reason for anybody in this world, no matter who you are, to apologize for who you are. As long as you are being the best, most authentic, most real version of yourself every day, and you're changing your best, and you're doing good in the world. You do that, don't you ever change... Be yourself."

Let’s be honest after two decades of the Vera Institutes influence on “Public Safety Policy” in MN we have all learned this has been an absolute disaster. Soft on crime/ no consequences for Juvenile Offenders has created the worst crime environment in Hennepin Cty in generations.
The Vera Institute of Justice brought national leaders to Minnesota this past June for conversations around innovation, research, and more effective approaches to justice. Tune in to this video to learn more about key takeaways from our time together: youtube.com/watch?v=RKzd4isV…

HILARIOUS: When #Bills quarterback Case Keenum went UNDERCOVER at training camp to see how many autographs he could get from his teammates without them recognizing him. 💀💀💀 One of the greatest football undercover videos ever.

Great day to have “accidentally” drafted Second QB
#BREAKING: Patriots sources fear AJ Brown has torn his Achilles after initial testing The team will get a second opinion tomorrow
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While A.J. Brown did leave the game with an injury, official reports and X-rays confirmed it was an ankle injury, not a torn Achilles. nfl.com/news/patriots-… espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

Colin Kaepernick praises New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani as a politician he finds inspiring, 10 years after the former quarterback famously said he wouldn’t vote in the presidential election because he didn’t want to support “the system of oppression.” nbcnews.com/sports/nfl/colin…

Is there a 9/11 as it happened 25 years ago program scheduled? It’s time for my oldest to watch, and feel, and experience the horror that changed the course of the modern world.

We are entering a time with the 25 year anniversary of 9/11 coming upthat has really surprised me. I have found myself profoundly more upset than I could have predicted. 9/11 changed nearly every aspect of my life, the classmates I lost over seas, the everyday freedoms we lost

It’s just so much. Anyone that tries to diminish or minimize the impact of that day… is either too removed (young) to fully understand, or honest to God EVIL. No person that was there… that lived it, experienced it, had the classmates never came home… It changed everything

To be clear “The Cult of Hard Work” is how all of America was built. This is just pathetic.
Abdul El-Sayed: Being poor is not a failure. We need to push back against the cult of hard work.

Actions have consequences… Even taking NO ACTION has consequences… Until Minneapolis and Hennepin County understand people deserve to be safe in their communities and some individuals just cannot be allowed to remain apart of society, the death and destruction will continue.
