hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics. It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

this admin is profoundly and absolutely detached from reality, in a directly internet and slop-enabled way that I do think is genuinely unique in history.

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot. That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

"We need SUVs because we have winter."

Do people know that there are almost 1 million Muslims in NYC? Where are the stories about how Muslims are feeling about the first Muslim Mayor in NYC?

Snow, welcome to The War on ICE.

Minnesotans when a Metro Transit bus is stuck: Let’s get to work! Minnesotans when an ICE vehicle is stuck: 🍿

Big congrats to my new Park Board Commissioner! I'm extremely excited for all the good they're going to do in this role.

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.

“I’ve read every study and report I could find that looked specifically at the economics of bike lanes since 1984.” “The results show that making streets friendlier for bikes, and sidewalks friendlier for pedestrians, is actually good for business.“

Rich history of Highway 36 in Ramsey and Washington Counties; digging into freeway history, you realize how arbitrary it all is. streets.mn/2025/12/31/t...

"E-bikes and scooters displace 4x as much demand for oil as all of the EVs in the world" And still no plans or incentives from our federal and provincial governments to help people choose bikes instead of cars. Quite the opposite, actually. arstechnica.com/cars/2023/11...

New in PN: The blame for alleged fraud in Minnesota belongs to conservatives "Republican policies have created a perfect vicious cycle: Privatize services, let private companies run amok, then declare that the government is the problem. And the Trump administration is turbo-charging it."

“We will take all your jobs and destroy humanity and the Earth! Also we’re going to force this into everything now, and you have to use it to train your replacement or you’re fired. Oh, and it kills kids and makes CSAM and revenge porn, as a treat” Why don’t people like this? A mystery for the ages

Mamdani has only been Mayor for a day & criminals are already fleeing New York

The issue is that parked cars make it impossible to clear the snow well and it seems like no one is following snow emergency parking rules. Plows aren't effective if cars are parked where they shouldn't be.

THIS. Did you know sickle cell is curable, now? FULLY curable. If you're feeling down or despairing about what FEELS like technology/advancement/science "standing still" or being fully malicious, I have great news: You're not paying attention to actual science. Just tech industry marketing.

meanwhile.... medicine has taken INSANE leaps and bounds in the last 2 years. we're out here curing HIV and leukemia and creating 100% efficacy vaccines against all sorts of cancers, and now this?? between this and renewable energy outstripping fossil fuels in efficiency, the future is bright

Ok transit users of Minneapolis and St Paul, what can you tell me about the 61 bus (outside of the basics on metro transit dot org)? I've never taken it before but it may work for me as a bike-bus-bike commute to work.

I should probably expect this from Roseville, but this is just embarrassing. It was even difficult for me to walk through here as an able-bodied person. This is just east of Rosedale along County Road B2. Do better, Roseville!

Spread the word to all the Minnesota business owners you know (with up to 500 employees) about applying for free money to purchase e-bikes, including electric cargo bikes. This grant covers 75% of the cost! Deadline for the application is January 15.

Yo! Open to any business or group in MN (including non-profits!). For-profits must have 500 or fewer FTEs. www.pca.state.mn.us/grants-and-l...

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)

Bike people are the best, really, and this thread reinforces that. Whatever you ride and for whatever reason, we see the world at a pace which lends itself to connections to other people and the environment.

please visit albi kitchen in loring park. they're dealt with steady stream of gawkers, some threatening phone calls, and youtubers coming in to harass them about the daycare that right wing youtuber featured because they're in the same building. i walked up and there's a line of cars and KARE 11 too

I get that I can be pretty insufferable about how much cars suck and bike rule. I’m right though

I generally don't like to post screenshots of text, but someone posted this in our local Strong Towns group and it was too good not to share here.

I’m so excited to see more grants supporting cargo bikes! This one is for businesses and awards are $3k-$24,500. 😍

Bicyclists are tough but getting around by bike shouldn't be. If we can clear the interstate and state highway system within a day, we should be able to create and maintain safe sidewalks, bus stops, and bikeways.

Some of the most bike-friendly cities in North America, like Montreal and Minneapolis, also happen to be the snowiest! Check out these winter biking tips from Montreal!

Minneapolis has become a popular destination to move to if you want to live a car-free or car-lite lifestyle but can't afford or don't want to live in a big city like NY.

Evie is great! I use it as a backup to my backup, so I’m not a heavy user. But when it’s come in clutch it has come in CLUTCH. If you haven’t tried it, give it a shot! The commitment over decades of this local non profit to HourCar and now the Evie flavor of car sharing is admirable.

Drivers are never asked to justify their infrastructure, but bicyclists (and pedestrians) are constantly forced to defend why their infrastructure is "necessary"

The roads are slick, friends. Don't drive if you can help it, and wear yak trax if you got em.

Roads: clear and easy to navigate Sidewalks and bike lanes: haha good luck Yeah that checks out.

"Annoying 8 year olds keep wanting to walk and bike to school despite city's best efforts to make it too dangerous." creativebyrovelo.com/therovelorecord

Yo. We’re gonna do happy hour and free pool & darts all day. Walk or train or bus on over and spend your blizzard with us

This morning I walked home over 35W. There was only ~1 inch of snow on the ground, but plows were already out doing their thing on the highway. Meanwhile, the sidewalk I was on will likely not get cleared for hours or days. We *all* need clear sidewalks in winter. #PlowMPLSsidewalks

Safe travels on this snowy Sunday, everyone! ❄️🚌❄️

Imagine these wait times in Minneapolis 😭

If you're a nondriver, especially one who is disabled, you regulary have to deal with inaccessible infrastructure like this. I regularly encourage people to navigate their communities through the lens of someone who might use a mobility device or have trouble walking. Because it will be eye-opening.

Lavish socialism for the entitled motorists, and "rugged individualism" for the transit riders. ​We use public funds to clear the path for private machines, but tell other people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps through a three-foot snowbank.

Shoutout to @jebrach.com on organizing this celebratory last ride of the Northstar. Gone before being completed. Defunded in favor of doubling down on car dependency. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1... @streets.mn @allaboardmn.org

This happens every time I go back to my parents house in the suburb where I went to school.

This is one of the most essential things to understand about the economics of public transit

Mobility freedom means being able to use the right tool for the job. Oftentimes that's a bike! www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

So much of the issues related to transit governance is downstream from the fact that both the boards of these agencies and many of advocates in this space believe that transit is a welfare program that acts as “transportation of last resort” as opposed to a viable, affordable alternative to cars.

"If the city’s goals are fewer car trips, more transit use and safer streets, winter pedestrian access is not optional. It is the point."
