Zitat des Tages von Betsy Hodges:
In Minneapolis, we believe in connection, not alienation. We believe in compassion, not indifference. We believe in love, but we are not timid.
I journal at the end of every day and just keep track of how things are going.
I will never, ever forget the electricity I felt the first time I listened to the 'Purple Rain' soundtrack - and many times since.
As mayor in an executive position, I have to dress more like an executive, which has been delightful.
I find that if I don't have enough physical activity in life, I don't do as well with anything else in my life. It's stress relief; it's good health. It's fun. It's alone time, for the most part.
Done right, precision can help clarify, plus it's fun.
We stand with our Muslim community as President Trump singles them out for attack and unfairly-targeted policy.
Being deliberate in decisionmaking isn't always flashy, but it does get results.
Professional people build relationships by doing the work together.
When Trump's cronies are the people attacking you, you know you've done something right.
What I like to do is have an opportunity to talk with people in neighborhoods and answer their questions one-on-one. I think it's one of the places I have greatest strength.
Transit builds a city that people choose to live in.
People work hard for their money, and they expect services for the dollars they put into the city.
Since I'm a Minnesotan, that bragging thing is a little hard.
When Donald Trump comes after any part of our community, he'll find 419,000 Minneapolitans and me standing squarely in his way. That's the kind of wall I can support.
Physical development fosters learning.
Together we are bigger than the sum of our parts.
I know there are those in the community who, rather than have us invest more in policing, even for community policing, instead want us to disinvest in the police department. We need a police department. We are going to have a police department.
How we live our lives in the Western world has impacts on the rest of the world.
Prince was a child of our city, and his love of his hometown permeated many of his songs. Our pride in his accomplishments permeates our love of Minneapolis.
When we are all together, we will have a future that is far greater than whatever we could do separate from one another.
I'm a Democrat.
What's not fascinating about 'Wonder Woman?' She's powerful. She's strong. She gets her strength from other women. She kicks butt in the world. You know, she's bulletproof, which is appealing. But she also has the Lasso of Truth. That's the thing I would want most, that Lasso of Truth. Because in politics, it would be very handy.
If Donald Trump wants to harm cities and the people who call them home, he'll have to come through me.
I pray and meditate first thing in the morning.
Prince was unapologetically different, and he made it okay for his fans to be different and to celebrate their individuality. His social conscience challenged us to look deeper than the skin color of our neighbors.
I don't have cable. I don't have a DVR.
