You don’t say

All electeds and state governments should get off Twitter Subsidizing a platform that undermines civil society and democracy is not neutrality -- it’s complicity

I left fully in Jan 2025 — except the weekend of June 14th — and am never going back. When I left, I had close to 30,000 followers, so it wasn’t *easy*. But when people send me links to tweets and I’m back on Twitter for a minute, it’s so Nazi forward. I’m shocked anyone real is still there.

Standing outside at 39th and Chicago. Across the street, kids are screaming as they zip down a sledding hill. Down the street, I hear Brass Solidarity playing live outdoor music. This is the Minneapolis I love.

When I was a Republican, they said they cared about states rights. It was all bullshit.

Brings some clarity around the anti-hemp law brought by Senator McConnell (R-Kentucky) last month.

What if we posted these at all the MPD precincts?

The holidays can be a tough time for Minnesotans trying to make ends meet. Bills don’t stop just because it’s December, but neither do I. I’m fighting to make sure families can afford their lives, their medicine, and the basics they need to live with dignity.

perhaps one of the larger issues with AI is the utter lack of guardrails around it as it is being essentially forced into everything we use & no way for opting in or out to consent to any of this and then shit like this happens again, despite it being a constant concern for years

Y’all, we elected a pretty good one.

Let’s keep helping our neighbors! Whether you are informing people and businesses of their rights or shopping on Central Avenue or in Cedar Riverside, you are helping. Thanks for stepping up and making Minnesota proud.

From now on, we should refer to burying a story as "Bari-ing" a story.

I did a successful chargeback, and then the company charged me again. Unbelievable. This is Snow and Lawn Care Services LLC DBA Andrew's Lawn and Snow. Wish I'd read their reviews before I contacted them. Won't make that mistake again!

My goodness

I might be on DK's side. The "fan" sounds like an attention-seeking, litigious a-hole looking for a payday. "Metcalf reported the same fan to team security last year... the man “called Metcalf’s mother a derogatory word and called Metcalf ‘something that we both know you don’t call a Black man.'”

doomers and futility junkies: please do not do that. Don‘t just say things will never work. if you’re doing to do that, also propose something that will work

Raquelle Lenior and Jason Larson with the Aliveness Project discuss the HIV/AIDS education and expanded resources that the organization provides.

O’Hara/Frey’s copaganda campaign also exposes the media’s failure. No one has asked the most basic question: "When officers observe conduct that may constitute felony assault, what is the required process for opening an investigation—and why wasn’t it initiated here?" www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

“Just being able to be that safe spot for them to land at the end of their life is one of the best things,” said Bambi Holloway, who has fostered for Grey Face for the last six years and now serves as the organization’s hospice coordinator.

Tabled crossings at every non-arterial quarter mile crossing through St Paul (e.g. Jefferson Griggs or Charles) would do a great deal to reduce speeding and, I would hope, increase driver attention

I have this exact experience on Lex all the time. My dream would be that traffic speed cams would be able to deter some of this, but without specific high visibility enforcement of pedestrian crossings, I don't know how people's behavior will change.

We can narrow our roads. About 45 minutes ago on Lexington, I was waiting to cross the street and had one car stop for me. One car in the other lane blew right past the stopped car, and the one after had to stop short. Drivers do not pay attention to others. We need better streets.

Oh no

Oh man, it’s bad. Almost nobody stops for pedestrians. I’ve even had drivers accelerate towards me when I’ve crossed the street. It’s also bad when I’m driving and try to stop for pedestrians — I’ve had a number of drivers attempt to pass and almost hit someone.

Sadly, my sense is that years of work with the "stop for me" efforts in St. Paul (which I've written about more than once) have made zero difference on the streets. If anything, drivers have gotten worse. www.startribune.com/after-uptick...

Yeah, I had one that accelerated towards me, then made it a big point to swerve around me while leaning on his horn... oh and he had a fucking stop sign. Just blew right through it because he was so angry that I dared cross the street in front of him.

"So if it's expensive, not working, and actually over time making our communities less safe, what is compelling us to hold on to this is a really interesting question" Episode 9 of our podcast features renowned professor Dr. Robert Kinscherff Tune in: youtu.be/aZqT3rWgoik?...

🚨 Congress is heading into the holidays without extending ACA’s COVID-era premium subsidies, which are set to expire at year’s end, a move that could drive up costs for millions of Americans buying health care plans. https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/19/politics/congress-obamacare-subsidies-expiring

* Other countries, including other common law countries, do enforcement on a much larger scale precisely by making it non-criminal. * It’s also easier to do widespread enforcement if consequences are predictable and automatic (demerit points) * Camera-based enforcement is feasible for crosswalks

Many different things are true about this area * Many drivers in Minnesota do not obey the law. * Minnesota drivers are better than in some states, worse than others * Compared to similar countries like Canada, Australia, the UK, MN drivers are rampant law breakers. * Enforcement changes behavior

Central in northeast also contains major bus lines that go downtown and a library and an Ecuadorian consulate and a bunch of of other services people might need to get to safely. No one feels safe.

Liam is right—people on central are really scared. Go eat at Maya and El Taco Riendo and please please be kind and caring with our neighbors. I adore living off central and I can’t stand how this is going.

there are simply not enough Indigenous people on this website to deal with what y’all need us to hear us say

It's important to note for the consultant people: Kat is tied for first place, she's raised more money in this race than anyone else, and she hasn't used Twitter in months. It's a website filled with racist AI snuff films and it's rigged against you specifically. There's no good reason to use it.
