Watching Angie Craig + Peggy Flanagan debate on MPR right now. Interviewer has brought up AI, Social Security, Iran War so far. No mention of Craig's weekend dustup (so far?) with MN state senator.

🙃

Was it the same clip/quote in the TV segment? Yes, that was at my request! Afterwards I was thinking I should have just done it normally, but I obvs wasn't expecting to be interviewed for the news that day so was reluctant to do it until they offered that option.

P.S., They took video too, so let me know if anyone has seen video of my interview! I can't find it online. Would be very curious to see the exact clip they used.

I told him that, being raised as a woman, I was taught not to walk alone at night *anywhere*, but I don't feel any more or less safe doing it in Uptown than anywhere else. So if you're curious how much KSTP selects their quotes to fit the slant of their story, here's one data point! 🙃 5/5

I cited that several shootings in the past few years have happened despite police (or a whole precinct) being within a few blocks of the shooting, so they don't tend to prevent shootings. The specific quote he chose was in response to him asking whether I felt safe walking alone at night. 4/5

...because pedestrian-only areas are generally safer than areas with cars. I told him my partner and I live on the B-line and took the bus there, so a closure to cars wouldn't affect us too much. 2. I would not support an increase in police, because police don't personally make me feel safe. 3/5

The reporter explained who he was, and that the city is considering both closing the street to traffic and increasing MPD patrols of the area in response to the Reign shooting and asked my thoughts. My response was: 1. I would support at least a temporary/pilot closure of the street... 2/5

So, this quote is from me and, after we both sensed the reporter didn't like my full answer, I literally joked with my partner that this would be the only part he'd use! 😂 The reporter was stopping folks walking down Hennepin in front of Reign Saturday. The full context of my statement: 1/5

Interesting: There’s now an anonymous, moderated list of companies that stop responding after you interviewed with them

Reminder to check your car cabin filter. Tbh I suggest you upgrade to HEPA filter If this is our new normal for summer, you'll wanna protect yourself from harmful air quality whenever you can. It adds up I thought few weeks of smoke last year was bad but this will be worse
