Thank you for reminding me that I lovingly repaired this trailer’s wheel not a fortnight before it was stolen!

My beloved little campaign trailer was lifted off my bike in Standish (in broad daylight!) yesterday. Not a tragedy, but an excuse to post some pictures of the fond memories. She was a key part of the campaign 🫡🫡🫡

Spotted Tim Walz at Katie Jones’ annual Bikes & Bevs group ride. @wedge.live

Extremely proud of my friend @aishaforward10.com for taking this step to prioritize her mental health. Aisha has given so much to all of us and deserves our full support as she takes time to heal. I know she will return an even stronger champion for the people of this city. We are with you, Aisha!

How long can I stay in the public eye before it is revealed that I only own four shirts?

New York has gotten a taste of principled, effective leadership and they do not want to go back. The rest of the country should take note.

I am increasingly impatient with the use of space in this city. Too many streets for cars and not people. Narrow sidewalks with no seating. Not a bathroom in sight. And then we wonder why commercial corridors sit quiet. Look what we do with a little breathing room! This should be every day.

EHB catches a major stray in this episode courtesy of MPRB Commissioner @jasoncomix.bsky.social and I must defend my own honor: In a race for the lowest ranking and least respected office in Minneapolis, I would crush Josh Bassais.

I am in downtown Detroit for a conference and the amount of beautiful, people-centered public space is absolutely stunning.

Great for New York, great for KAT, great for Democratic Socialism, great for people who believe the world can be different and surprising in good ways 🧡💙

Zohran Mandate of Heaven confirmed

OG’s tip-in is rightfully dominating the discussion but Brunson’s three right over Wemby really shouldn’t be forgotten.

Best thing about Mamdani is that he's one of the only Democrats who understands you can just do things

Unprompted thought on healthcare reform: The conversation needs to move away from single payer and towards single provider (public health service). Insurance is a fundamentally broken model because it disincentivizes early care, which leads to worse outcomes and higher costs.

Knicks on billionaire violence we love to see it

DJ Khaled on his phone, rarely standing, awkwardly holding his jacket over his arm like he’s waiting for a valet. This man does not want it, get him out of there.

Thank you to @ourstreetsmn.org for giving us the gift of Lyndale Open Streets today. Celebrate the people who work to make good things happen.

I like the LOTI pencil sharpening because ultimately it is a ceremony about death.

A nice tax positive op-ed in the New York Times, including this comment from a remorseful retiree in Hilton Head. We love a repentant boomer!

Knicks game 2 victory is the biggest win for socialism since the WPA

That nun just said “oh my gosh”

At DFL fundraiser, Kentucky Gov Andy Beshear said we need to lead with our intentions and stop talking like stuck-up libs (‘hungry’ instead of ‘food insecure’, etc.). Not my area but good speech. …is what I would have posted before he said reform and retrain ICE. Wrong fucking crowd, buddy!

I biked to Richfield for @nathancoulter.bsky.social’s campaign launch and was treated to these gorgeous clouds on the way home.

A lot of you need to get clear on the fact that New York is our co-beacon of light in this dismal world, and start rooting for the Knicks.

I was on a bus recently, and an older lady in the front kept asking why everyone looked so glum and then started going one by one and seeing what people were up to that evening. It was very cute and she really pulled it off. Need more people like this in the world.

I have a lot of valuable work to do today and I cannot spend my time writing anti-RCV talking points for my friends. [this is a message to myself]

Most people in my political circles are not fans of our mayor, but I think it's helpful to hear him speak frankly to a substantive issue like this. Disagree as we might, there are things we agree on, and the media's constant sensationalizing of political differences across the city does not help.

So sweet I am going to kms

I am on the @wedge.live emergency ride. Half of us are named Brian but we are all soaked.

🚨🚨An emergency bike ride has been declared for tonight beginning at 7:30 pm, as O'Hara-cane recovery efforts continue across our area. Authorities will be staging at Mueller Park.

Garden’s gonna be poppin’

From what I have seen, there has been only one issue advocacy presentation at the state convention. I am very confused about how ranked choice voting advocates ended up with this lengthy presentation time. Will we be hearing from any labor unions? Racial justice orgs? Enviro groups?

I am not a delegate, but I support Zack for state Auditor. He’s been working hard on the campaign trail and has the right experience for the job. I am convinced he cares deeply about local government and the core duties of the role. He’ll make a great Auditor and I hope we endorse him today.

Et tu, Larry?

With DOO-DOO BUTT & ASS, LLC on our side, we cannot be defeated.

Excellent op-ed on challenges and opportunities in Uptown, especially these points on the need for public leadership and public space. When private actors engage in harmful behavior like keeping space vacant, the city needs to step in. Otherwise we pay the price in lower tax base and empty streets.

The Galbraith posts will continue until morale improves. Even 70 years ago, JKG noted with alarm the immiseration of the public domain despite rapid economic growth and the constant expansion of private consumer "needs". His work was pushed aside by mainstream econ and it is to our detriment.

Embrace Galbraith thought @jdcmedlock.bsky.social

John Kenneth Galbraith on the quest for infinite economic growth amidst public poverty.

How would one dispose of these items?

I know my soul is irredeemable because my Spotify discover weekly is entirely remixes and covers.

Bezos says that the US has one of the most progressive tax codes. This is true by some measures. But our tax and transfer system reduces inequality far less than countries with broader tax systems. Tax cuts can't help people who don't have an income, but a generous tax financed welfare state can.

Park goers split evenly between me, Steve, and Bob. But I carried stoners +18 points. Stoners with neck tats +35.

Down 28 in the 4th quarter. Just like the commercial tax base, we are perfectly poised for a come back.

No, not like that. I said in the hoop. Through it.

We have got to get the ball in the hoop. Only way to beat them.

Putting the funding questions aside, we must demand a police force that does better than this. MPD exists to serve city residents like Davis, and if they are not responsive when our safety is threatened, then they are failing the most basic litmus test and we must seek deeper reform.

This morning I listened Davis Moturi's full statement on his experience with MPD as he lived under constant threat of racial violence. Davis lives around the corner — literally on the same block — and although I know his story, there's nothing as gut wrenching as hearing him tell it. Please listen.

Zohran is tap dancing on all of the anti-government operatives that have ruined the Democratic party for the last several decades. It is wonderful to see (in green because I am so jealous).
