This week has sucked in so many ways, but as a small bright spot, I received my new @metrotransitmn.bsky.social adopt-a-stop Go-To card in the mail today and it is AMAZING!

This implies that some people are under the impression that ai has the creativity to do the things our wonderful Minneapolis community does and I find that disrespectful

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Good’s last words to the ICE agent: “That’s fine. I’m not mad at you.” His to her, after shooting her in the face: “Fuckin’ bitch.”

As is often the case, the Beastie Boys offer us indelible wisdom for the current situation: Tough guy, your shit is weak Tough guy, you fucking freak Tough guy, I'll stick your shit Tough guy

"Siri, show me why the United States is such an unhealthy country."

A US rep is suggesting that impeding actions by gov't goons who have no jurisdiction over you and are trying to unjustly kidnap your neighbors deserves the death penalty. No charges, no judge, no jury, just instantly killed by said goons. These are extremely dangerous, treasonous people.

You know who's awesome? Canadians. I've gotten so many DMs and donations to our school neighborhood fundraiser from our amazing neighbors to the north. I see you, friends, and I wish we could be part of your country instead of this one. ❤️

School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.

ICE came to terrorize us. Minneapolis is not having it.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

It is properly moral degeneracy that our political elites spend all day soaking their brains in the Literal Nazi Sex Crimes Factory, which is still the predominant communications outlet for Dem politicians. I don't have a political strategy lecture about that. It's just viscerally disgusting.

Here is a small taste of the misinformation and fearmongering we have to deal with when pushing for a relatively minor pedestrianization effort. No, this project will not permanently close west river parkway to cars. No, it will not inhibit emergency vehicle response times. No to all of these lies.

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

Tires cause up to 90% of road microplastics, with the average tire losing 6- 9 pounds of rubber in a lifetime. Just how bad is the toxicity?

Every single Minnesota news outlet should be shoving microphones into the faces of Demuth, Robbins, Lindell, everyone else running for governor, and every MNGOPer licking trumps ass to ask if they agree with this shit. It’s time we know.

You can introduce articles of impeachment at any time, Zoe. You can also work to convince your Republican colleagues that illegal wars aren't good for their electoral prospects. Stop acting like you have no agency here.

Starting a war without legal authority and abducting foreign leaders is a dangerous abuse of power. Congress needs to wake up before another generation of young Americans is sent to die in a fool's war over oil.

🎵🎵 Riding in a winter wonderland 🎵🎵

Not a single bike rack anywhere in sight, despite a huge surface parking lot. So once again, I have to resort to the St Paul special, this time locking directly to the gas line next to the downspout dripping all over. But apparently I'm supposed to be a sycophant and only say nice things.

We are living in a society, people, and many of you need to be reminded your actions impact everyone around you, especially when your phone is out.

remember when the democrats decided to tactically stop pointing out that these people are weird freaks no one likes

Christmas Eve. Fresh snow. Cargo trike. I don’t bike in winter because I’m tough. I bike because it's the most fun you can have. #yegbike

To all friends, supporters, and both people shown this randomly by the algorithm: Merry Christmas! Here’s to ongoing adventures on two (or any other number of) wheels. From all at Diagram HQ (me).

It’s remarkable how shamelessly Bari Weiss is turning CBS News into state media. by Viktor Orban

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.

Amid plenty of bad vibes, I'm always happy to see gems like this pop up and truly brighten the holidays. Love to see the positive energy for @metrotransitmn.bsky.social www.instagram.com/reel/DSdtN9Y...

when AI tech is mature next year, i will create a video of a white blonde woman getting fired from her job for refusing to apologize for being white. video will go viral. next, i will start a gofundme, which will earn me $2M in tax free income, allowing me to buy a home in a walkable neighborhood

Saturdays are for sewers! Or… where else does my poop go? This week I spent a morning under 10th St., working with our @cityofsaintpaul.bsky.social Public Works crews to clean one of our old sanitary sewer tunnels. It was really rewarding work. And really tiring. Highlights:🧵 1/

For top paid Oakland city staff in 2024 you have to go 109 people deep before reaching someone who isn’t police or fire. That’s the City Administrator w a salary of $308k & total comp of $506k. They’re the only non police/fire staff staff w total comp >$500k.

There are so many elements in our culture where you have to cope with people who don't even understand their own prejudices. People hate cyclists and they haven't put any effort into thinking about why or how it makes them think or say very stupid shit.

Saw both of these within less than a quarter mile of each other. Cars just aren’t practical here. We have winter.

Imagine being this powerful, thinking someone was insane, and not even trying to do anything about it but complain online like a corrupt loser.

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

I've made sure to request both Life After Cars from @thewaroncars.bsky.social and Killed by a Traffic Engineer by @wesmars.bsky.social in the past from @stpaulpublibrary.bsky.social Was glad to see waitlists for both!

I wish I lived in a country where human lives were valued more than "gun rights".

This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants

Some great gray owl action recently near Hinton.

<< First reading dies, then knowledge, and then science. It is the “Dis-enlightenment” >> t.co/JHjbJ0cfpk

It's clear from the article that ICE is *miserable* here. They're freezing their asses off and being harassed everywhere they go. Property managers aren't allowing them access to rental properties and people know their rights and aren't letting them in. KEEP IT UP.

DOTs expanding lanes and yelling they can quit anytime they want. It's an addiction.

Look at the central city riverfront of Portland. It's just so shocking and embarrassing that we tolerate this.

Trump objects to reports about his obvious aging, saying “it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean ‘THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.’“ It isn’t. And the reports aren’t fake.

People in Woodbury complaining they can't get to work because their car is stuck are the same people complaining we don't need the Gold Line.

I also made sure to clear the corner house next to mine because the owner does a crap job keeping their sidewalk cleared. It takes a village to help keep things accessible!

Shakopee today. A dozen vehicles. 15+ ICE agents. All to apprehend one person who wasn’t even home. This isn’t an effective use of time or resources. This is simply terrorizing a neighborhood and our community. ICE makes us less safe. End Operation Metro Surge.

Just got back from biking home and I have to say as someone who also drove someone's car in the snowfall for a little bit today, I felt safer and more in control on my bike then the car. And I don't even have fat tires or studded tires. Just my regular road bike tires.

Respectfully, Congresswoman, you voted with Republicans to strip due process from immigrants and to praise Trump's ICE. This year. Now you're upset? Votes have consequences. Minnesotans deserve better.
