I am proud to share that we won the @MinneapolisDFL Convention! We were able to earn the support of 53% of delegates with a double digit lead over the incumbent. 60% support was required to be endorsed. It is clear that I am The People’s top challenger to Mayor Frey.

I'm pleased to announce that in academic year 2021/2022 I will be choosing violence at every turn. I'm thoroughly grateful to precarity, the prestige economy, and the academic job market for the opportunity to choose violence and look forward to the chaos to come.

Our old strategy wasn’t working. We have a working group which has created a new strategy where no one does anything different. Change and results are imminent!

EDITORIAL: Students have been crying out on social media for Macalester to respond appropriately to the police murder of Daunte Wright. Those cries have been met with little response. The college has once again failed its Black students.

macalester won't cancel classes because they only care about their black students in terms of props and fake diversity

Thread: We need to get a few things straight, people. Those advocating for the return of the SAT in admissions because "other things seem to favor wealthy students" seem to be missing something. Something kind of big.

This year, @fatiya_kedir did an oral storytelling project on mothers and daughters. For the final part of her project, she sat down to interview her mom. 🎧 Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts or at: anchor.fm/herewearepod

Macalester's students of color tell their classmates, the world, how they want to be seen via @HereWeArePod. “Do you try to change things, or do you try to change the experiences of the people who are closest to you?” -@korisuzuk1 @bzosiad @SahanJournal bit.ly/3eCOpFb

Through a new simple tool from the MN Dept. of Health, you can sign up for vaccine updates as more information and supply becomes available. It's fast and easy, and I just signed up myself. Get yourself signed up here: vaccineconnector.mn.gov/ @mnhealth

UPDATE from @profkphillips: Mac students arrested/processed can call Public Safety (651-696-6555) for a ride once they're released. Mac can't bail anyone out, but they'll reimburse fines. @themacweekly – at Minneapolis, MN
