A few years ago, a stranger ahead of me in the line at Subway paid for my sub without even telling me. The guy working the register said, "Yeah, he does that all the time. That's Matt Blair, by the way." Rest in peace, my friend. You were a class act. #MattBlair

The man who’s seemingly organizing the cleanup at Target in Lake. 🙏 @FOX9
A local #Minneapolis school requested 85 food kits to feed kids who can't get food because of rioting. The response? Traffic was backed up for miles in all directions and cell reception broke. Dozens of volunteers were organizing food for local food shelters when we left.

If you've seen video of George Floyd's death and want to take simple first step of positive action, call the Hennepin County Attorney’s office (612-348-5550) and leave a message demanding action. Script below if you need one (credit to bluecollarbabe1). #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
Well said, this.
To my white friends, colleagues, education leaders, politicians, law enforcers ... start acting and using your privilege for good. It is each of our jobs to abolish the injustices of past, present & future.
