Everyone deserves the freedom to be themselves and get the healthcare they need. I joined @rohnkat.bsky.social from OUTFRONT Minnesota to talk about how Minnesota has chosen to protect our LGBTQ+ neighbors. I'm proud to have OUTFRONT's endorsement, and we'll keep standing up for every Minnesotan.

The cat tour has better militarized headwear and a larger army.

Happy #PrideMonth! Enjoy a Tesla getting smashed by a light rail train with a pride flag.

Today, I resigned all my DFL positions. I can no longer in good conscience support Amy Klobuchar for Governor, due to her votes for bills restricting trans healthcare and trans rights, and due to her making no effort to apologize for or atone for that. I can't go into Pride weekend supporting her.

We need help keeping our immigrant communities afloat. 💔 These are the consequences of Frey’s inaction.

I mean… yeah.

We are sick and tired of our healthcare system putting profits before people. We need to create a future where every single person can get the care they need regardless of their ability to pay. We need Medicare for All. My op-ed with @publiccitizen.bsky.social: truthout.org/articles/our...

Happy first day of early voting for the primary election, Minnesota! If you live in Minneapolis like me, you can check early vote hours and locations here:

That was full of empty promises, one sided rhetoric, and straight up lies. I’m not surprised that Shaffer and Rainville’s “community conversation” on data centers didn’t live up to its name…

This is the correct answer.

“if you can go and enjoy a drag show at gay 90s or the saloon or wherever, you also should be able to stand up for the policies that makes those spaces possible,” said city council member robin wonsley in voting to repeal minneapolis’ ban on bathhouses an important message for pride month!

The Minneapolis Pride in Policy package led by @jchavezmpls.bsky.social passed *unanimously* strengthening protections and support for 2SLGBTQIA+ residents and making the city one of only a handful of places to explicitly protect & support intersex folks! Big shoutout to @tigerrsmm.bsky.social!

Beautiful day for a test ride. See everyone at the Queermunity Pride Ride on Saturday! 🚲🏳️‍🌈

I’m now the proud parent of @metrotransitmn.bsky.social Lake and Hennepin Station. ❤️🚌

very disappointing that elizabeth shaffer voted no on repealing the bathhouse ban in minneapolis as she is the council member representing loring park, the historic LGBTQ neighborhood of the city, as we head into pride weekend

Minneapolis has moved to end its decades-old bathhouse ban after a 9–2 council vote. It now heads to Mayor Jacob Frey for approval.

Huge surprise! Palmisano and Rainville flip to pass the Adult Bathhouse Ban Repeal. Vetaw also voted yes. Huge congrats to CM @jchavezmpls.bsky.social

I love living in a place that finds so much love for animals and joy around community. ❤️ South MPLS

“Today, we celebrate our cat dependence day!” @wedge.live

Child overheard at the @wedge.live cat tour: “Festivals in Minnesota are so weird”

Car tour photo dump incoming. 🐈📸

Tonight reaffirmed my belief that I live in the best neighborhood in America. 🐈

I appreciate all the work @wedge.live does to bring this event to the Wedge & esp. Mueller Park every year. @marymoriarty.bsky.social is such a great choice for grand marshal! I should also point out that every restaurant I passed on Lyndale walking home was PACKED! Thanks for visiting, everyone!

Some of these cats are using performance enhancing drugs. #catTour

Don’t drive — take the (f)E Line! 🐱🚍

😂

Buckle up Hakeem.

If you plan to attend today's Wedge LIVE Cat Tour, please read these final pre-tour instructions. You are a cat tourist. Respect the culture and heritage of the Wedge at all times.

The energy at the DSA election night party feels like an earthquake just ripped through the democratic party in a way that cannot be undone. I said yesterday that there was a movement and a political renaissance happening in NYC and here we see the heart of it. Also Chelsea Manning is DJing.

Much like terrorism is in the eye of the beholder, so is which version of "park and walk little bit" shocks the conscience.

Who the fuk are you vaguebooking about because in my neck of the woods, the DSA and sewer socialists pretty much form the core of the DFL time & energy investors. I don‘t really give a shit if they send the DFL a valentine.

what’s happening tonight in NY is how we win the infrastructure is there, you don’t have to build it from scratch, it’s called the Democratic Party you just need to go and wrest the controls from the people who aren’t serious about doing what needs to be done, and as tonight shows, that’s doable

Surprise @dbrauer.net leading a training. Thanks for all you do to serve and protect our democracy. ❤️

NEW EPISODE: Is the way we think about criminal consequences for drivers who harm pedestrians and cyclists another form of motonormativity? A study from Professor Ian Loader of the University of Oxford challenges how the law sees driving and offers solutions. podcasts.apple.com/lu/podcast/r...

Opie, welcome to the war on cars.

I’ll always prefer the kid over the car. I doubt the number of kids biking recklessly would do that if biking were taken more seriously as transportation and with education to ride safely. The car, on the other hand, will always be a threat to ped/bikes…

more white cis-gender men were nominated for feminist caucus directors than women & nonbinary folks. it wasn’t going terribly but they really cannot help themselves.

Such a stunning evening to bike to Nokomis Beach. Feels like everyone was out enjoying the summer. Also was treated to the cranes on the Greenway at Pillsbury framing the sky so perfectly. 🚲❤️

NEW EPISODE: Hopefully you've consumed no Minnehaha Dog Park news coverage since last Wednesday, and you're ready to listen to the definitive podcast episode on the saga.

For my newsletter I wrote about how Kier Starmer should serve as a warning for centrist Democrats in the US. It's a real crystal ball moment. www.burnsnotice.com/its-the-cent...

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!

Human Rights Watch came to Minneapolis last week to release their report, “A Manufactured Crisis.” It documents human rights violations committed by the federal government during metro surge. It’s a must read to understand the long term trauma inflicted on the community. www.hrw.org/report/2026/...

So, Thursday is my Birthday…?! As much as I don’t love being the center of attention, I would love for you to join us at Waite Park to talk about your wishes for Minneapolis Public schools while we all enjoy cake and lemonade. Join us from 6-7:00 RSVP at bit.ly/Christin-BDay

Hard agree.

Yeah, that’s the America I grew up in. When I say the anti-trans playbook now is the same playbook as they ran in the 90s against gay people, I mean the SAME

It was so much fun riding Minnehaha and Nine Mile Creek with @lonegraywolf2000mn.bsky.social yesterday! NMC Broadwalk is so pretty in the summer.

There is no good reason to not expand the Minneapolis auto enforcement camera system to being bus based. And Commercial areas and dense multifamily areas need dedicated short term drop off and pickup zones. And those can't just be carveouts from the bike/bus ways.
