#ChauvinTrial is anyone following this bizarre theory from the defense? Floyd might have died from carbon monoxide poisoning from inhaling fumes from the car?! But the only reason he was down on the ground inhaling anything was because Chauvin HAD HIS KNEES ON HIM FOR 9+ mins
We’ve entered the throw-shit-against-the-wall-to-see-what-sticks phase of the #ChauvinTrial #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
some background on this “expert witness” washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/04…

The Intercept’s original reporting on the lawsuit faced by #ChauvinTrial defense “expert” David Fowler theintercept.com/2021/04/04/der…
Fowler is a professional expert witness testifier on behalf of police in use of force cases. Shockingly, he’s never found fault with anything police have done anywhere.

What are these multi-agency operations if not an opportunity for everyone to abdicate responsibility and point the finger at someone else. Who’s telling the truth? Who knows. || Brooklyn Center’s Request for Mutual Aid scribd.com/document/50305…
The mayor says Sheriff Hutchison is ignoring his pleas to not use tear gas. The Sheriff cites a letter from the mayor he says specifically exempts the multi-agency operation from the city’s ban on gas and flash bombs. Everyone is pointing fingers at everyone else.
We are being told the choice is stark—we either accept chaos and 1k buildings burning or we accept military occupations. The cops need to stop killing Black people and until such a time, we cannot criminalize protest, rage and grief. There has to be a better way

Saint Paul has had encampments go up and go down. I’ve seen this & wondered why we haven’t had scenes like this. Turns out, the mayor’s office has taken charge, gotten folks housed, and encampments have gone down with police at a distance. The Deputy Mayor has even been present.
There actually is a humane way to deal with the unhoused. You just need a city that leads with competence and compassion. This has been my St Paul Tourism Ted Talk. #RedRoverRedRover
Minneapolis has approached encampments as a policing issue; Saint Paul has approached them as a human services issue, working with different levels of government and advocates to find solutions for people.

It’s easy to mix conspiracy theory whackiness with real issues in order to attack the unassailable truth that Trump’s attempts overthrow the results of this election, and Republican senators’ willingness to go along with it, is unprecedented. But fine, I’ll play. Image
Bush didn’t steal the election. The Supreme Court did it for him. After they stopped the counting, an analysis done by the NYTimes showed that, had all voted been counted, Gore would have narrowly won FL. Also worth repeating Dems have won popular vote 7 of to last 8 elections
The Taliban perpetrated 9/11, Bush didn’t. He was just warned and didn’t take the warning seriously.

Today Senate Republicans fired the commissioner charged with worker safety during a pandemic. And let’s be clear, the health crisis is *exactly* why they did this. Today they implied they will fire another commissioner every 30 days. There’s your tell.
Every 30 days the legislature must be in session to have an opportunity to remove the governor’s emergency powers. The GOP is, in the words of @kurtDaudt, holding all commissioners as hostages, lining them up for “execution” until the governor gives up emergency powers.
This is just another extension of the Party of Trump’s Covid Denialism. Remember when @paulgazelka told us the emergency part of the pandemic was over? That was July 13. By that day, 127,677 Americans had died from #COVID19: medicaleconomics.com/view/coronavir…

There is something odd happening with reporting of crime in Minneapolis these days. First, almost every reporter relays MPD’s statements as fact, even as they have all seen as recently as in their original recounting of Floyd’s murder, that MPD has a problem with the truth.
For example, take this from @WCCO (the station, btw, that employs Bob Kroll’s wife Liz Collins as a reporter and whose national network (coincidentally, I’m sure!) landed the only interview with that police union head. google.com/amp/s/minnesot…
WCCO, like others, report on crime as if it were somehow being caused by recent efforts to reimagine community safety in Minneapolis. But wait, MPD hasn’t been defunded or reimagined yet. If something is failing it’s the department in its current form.

Tired of Republican Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka protecting Bob Kroll & the police union? There are ten senate seats held by MNGOP that Walz-Flanagan won in 2018. If we flip them, Gazelka is no longer majority leader. Starting a thread to post info about DFL challengers.
