Heard from a lot of different people regarding my bike ride with MN Rep. @WalterHudson and have been reflecting on that feedback.

I don’t think conversations with people you disagree with are a bad thing, but I see now how the way I framed it could be viewed as problematic.

🧵 The interaction started as a reply to Walter after he mocked the Star Tribune “puff piece” on my tweets about Minneapolis a couple of weeks ago.

I invited him to come to Minneapolis and ride bikes with me and see for himself, and he took me up on the offer.

Briana probably shouldn’t have said what she said, but she’s also a wonderful human being and deserves some grace.

Mpls DFL Chair is a thankless volunteer position and Briana works tirelessly for what she believes in.

Even when we disagree, I’m proud to call her a friend.

🧵 Briana’s had to deal with threats, harassment, doxxing, violence at Ward conventions, restraining orders, blatant fraudulent delegates, + a million other layers of bullshit this year while she manages an antiquated endorsement process with almost no support from the state party.

As someone with #aspergers (#ActuallyAutistic), I think it’s really cool that Elon Musk acknowledged he has Asperger’s on SNL.

I know people have mixed feelings about about Elon, but sharing something like this could help a lot of people.

“Asperger’s” is really just a name given to a small section along the autism spectrum, and has been classified by the DSM-5 as Autism Spectrum Disorder for almost a decade now.

For me, once I started understanding I had ASD it became a lot easier to interact with other people.
