Is anyone else having the kind of Monday where you add things to your to-do list that are already complete so you can cross them off?

deeply disturbed and just... in pain hearing about the attack on a trans woman at a mpls light rail station. further hurt to see how young the perpetrators were.
violence against trans women starts long before a fist is ever thrown. what we teach kids about gender, matters.

72 priests were added to the list of chicago clergy accused of sexual abuse yesterday and the “protect your kids from drag queens” crowd has been notably quiet
This morning as I was hustling to leave the house I walked to our deck to put some strawberry tops and fruit peels in the compost and there was a live possum in the bottom of the bin. I screamed so loud, I’m surprised no one in my neighborhood stopped over to check on me.
Such a good episode and SUCH an important conversation. Thank you @noraborealis and @dylanmarron ! @ttfapodcast podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

This city is exhausting. More police do not keep Us safe. A bigger police budget does not keep Us safe. We can't even sleep. Heartbroken for Amir Locke and his family. #JusticeForAmirLocke

The police charter amendment is good & you should vote for it. Walz's poorly informed statement on it is really frustrating. If you're on the fence on the amendment, you should read CM Andrew Johnson's statement on it, he made a strong case for voting Yes: andrewmpls.com/yes4minneapol…

Idea: what if Black and Brown Minnesotans didn’t need to pay city taxes until the police in their city could go a full year without killing them? Since their taxes pay the salaries of these people who are supposed to protect them?
