New Podcast - Mill City Hall

I few weeks ago an old friend and political ally, Jesse Mortenson, invited me to host a pod cast with him. I said yes and we started recording them this summer. You can find them, and learne more at
https://millcityhall.com/ After the first episode we were lucky enough to get my former Ward 2 Policy Aide and friend, Robin Garwood, to join. So far we have done 8 episodes and plan on putting out a new one every 2 weeks or so. I invite you to check it out and see what you think. Here are some more details about a recent eposodes: Dehumanizing the unhoused, from Frey to Fascism, w/ Flannery Clark and Frank In 2017, candidate Jacob Frey promised to end homelessness in five years. By 2023, he was instead crushing encampments and endorsing dehumanizing rhetoric about people experiencing homelessness and mental illness. In 2025, Donald Trump is marching the military into major cities and bragging about sweeping out unhoused people. How did we get here? We are joined by Flannery Clark, volunteer with the Sanctuary Supply Depot, and Frank, a friend who has experienced homelessness and mental illness. We talked about this rhetoric, the ignorance behind it, and the real solutions just waiting for political will and courage. Recorded 8/24/25.
