Lots of talk about naming heat waves and wildfires. I think we should name them after fossil fuel companies and execs: The Tillerson Heat Wave, The Exxon Wildfire...

Just can't make this stuff up

Slow down. Save the planet, your pocketbook, and maybe a life.

This is not normal. This is a climate crisis.🔥🌎 www.sierraclub.org/minnesota/bl...

Racing to work, to pick up your children from school, or go from one errand to the next not only wastes money and sends harmful emissions into the air, it barely saves you time, new research says.

I can’t bike.

Mask season is here. If you have a mask, wear one when outside. You don't want to breathe the particulate in the air. Any of the N95 masks will work. You can even use the home construction masks. Anything to help filter the air is what you want.

The fire and smoke making it unsafe to be outside is "a direct product of the greenhouse gases humans keep emitting. In Minnesota, transportation is the single largest source of those emissions, and personal automobiles are the biggest slice." www.bikemn.org/moving-under...

Read/listen all about how a "land value tax" can discourage land speculation & encourage dense building on the highest value land, ie, land near urban cores. www.volts.wtf/p/want-less-...

My CM is the funniest 😂

Yes, let’s go to Amsterdam. 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲

I 💯 agree. I’ve repeatedly asked the City about this. Public Works has not prioritized making these bike racks usable. Time for some tactical urbanism. Just need a battery electric angle grinder…

a fun thing about all this winning is how a frozen pizza now costs the same as getting a pizza delivered to your door a few years ago and how you pretty much can’t get a pizza delivered for less than like $35 after tip anymore

Joined ATU Local 1005 and other union siblings today. Transit operators & mechanics deserve decent healthcare.

Beautiful benches for bus riders. Thanks public works superhero @mplsalex.bsky.social for organizing!

Some shots from the ride home.

so these are cool but the answer is because it costs about five times as much as putting them on some dirt in the middle of nowhere, so they're not gonna be common

The old and the new. Yes, we can have nice things.

Hennepin County puts a few million into its budget to spur TOD along transit investments. More of this, please! Put a zero on the end of it. www.minnpost.com/metro/2026/0...

Get ready for @metrotransitmn.bsky.social's Renew the Blue.🚆 "Blue Line riders like @jhoudek.bsky.social will have to board replacement buses, try other bus lines or bike to their destination. Inconvenient, yes, but he said he understands the need to do the work. “Fix it before it fails."" Article👇

Let’s extend it

great piece from eric roper on lyndale reconstruction and learning from mistakes of hennepin, lowry and lake minneapolis city council allocated $900k to businesses on those streets and it was never implemented by mayor frey, just like uptown safety ambassador program strong mayor system at work!

Happy World Bicycle Day. Still at it.

What do streets have to do with climate? Sierra Club attends @nacto.bsky.social Designing Cities Conference and explains. www.sierraclub.org/minnesota/bl...

@eriknoonan.bsky.social and I lay it out.

one week ago today, brian o’hara was in front of the minneapolis city council, unable to explain to aisha chughtai why the police department was $20 million over budget this year as she went through line item by line item. and now he’s resigned as the police chief

Or, hear me out. We don't scrap all Federal gas taxes for the rest of the year. Instead we work to incentivise people to find options that don't tie your freedom to one mode of transportation. My bias is on e-bikes, but walking, rolling & public transit are wins too. globalnews.ca/news/1186458...

HBD @amtrak.com Borealis. Add newer coach cars. Add a second train each day.

I would expect nothing less.

Happy Bike to Work Day. Go green. Go happy.

High gas prices encourage commuters to look at biking, public transit www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
