Livid about this. tcjewfolk.com/2026/04/30/r...

the alternatives to simply redoing the same highway are so much more inspiring, functional, & represent a world I want to live in. It's sad, confusing, stupid how stuck in the past MnDOT is. They're literally the dept of transpo & they have no interest in improving how they operate or see the future

UNREAL. 😍😍😍

Important reality to think about, especially on this platform:

100%. Same goes for the judgement I get for driving a used Nissan Leaf. Not only did I want an EV, but it was literally one of the cheapest options last summer when my Prius died.

Entire downtown buildings in foreclosure, restaurants closing left and right, new projects stalled for years, but at least butter is doing well.

Spoiler alert: nothing trickled down.

This is a great example of leadership. Ramsey County is wrong about the benefits of the CP Ford Spur. Rebecca Noecker will fight to acquire this public space for people walking and biking in West 7th, and it'll pay off in spades.

Word.

I love knowing this, while also knowing that I’m probably going to spend 4-6 hours/month of my free time for the next 6 years battling MnDOT to include basic items like street trees, pedestrian infrastructure, and bike lanes in their West 7th project. Cool, cool, cool.

I’ve definitely butted heads with Sean on a few things, but overall enjoy working with him. And he’s a St. Paul guy. The new lady lives in…Shakopee? We’re going to entrust the care of our streets to someone living in the exurbs? I don’t like it.

Same.

Oof. Tough week for Melvin Carter! Bummer to see so much money and staff time wasted on a project that went nowhere. I’m so glad we have a new mayor focused on core city functions and economic development.

An absolute must watch, people! I was there in person and much of the analysis presented felt like a gut punch. The current state of the city is very sobering. But we have to understand the problem to start fixing it, I guess.

Thinking of all the critical funding requests that were rejected in this era of “austerity” while people who were voted out could walk away with massive bonuses. Thanks, Melvin. www.startribune.com/st-paul-melv...

Pisses me off that a bunch of greedy speculators “flipped” the property (while actually doing literally nothing to improve it) making a cool million or so each time, and now the community-centered land trust had to pay basically double the cost just to acquire the land.

Yeah, the weather was super nice today! ….if you’re into apocalyptic climate collapse of all life systems on which we depend.

I am so, so sick of women getting killed by males who have already been arrested multiple times. Some individuals just have no decency or respect for life. A civil society cannot exist when such individuals are allowed free with no consequences.

Great. If you read the fine print (meaning the full article), he also has two recent DWI convictions and was abusive to his girlfriend. I can almost guarantee you he murders a woman within the next five years. #femicide

So only 6 out of 500 of Minnesota’s autism service “providers” applied to for a license under the new (completely reasonable and should have been mandatory 5 years ago) requirements. That seems kind of sus, no?

Finally snagged a copy of this and now I’m ready to get super depressed.

Editor pounding the desk: Bleaker. Bleaker!

This is heartbreaking and infuriating. And even more appalling, nobody and I mean NOBODY on the left is talking about this. Vulnerable people we supposedly care about are being put onto the streets becuase of this mass theft. Democrats must start talking about this. youtu.be/eqzgF4q8tMk?...

As a conservation biologist and winter sports enthusiast, please do not come at me with: “Isn’t this weather great!” No, it isn’t great; it is beyond bleak. It’s barely mid-February and the outdoor skating rinks are closing. Don’t even get me started on the ecological ramifications of this.

Stuff like this is why I stay on Twitter. Sorry.

Well I’m glad they’ll be able to be reused! Reduce, reuse, recycle, ya’ll.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

I totally get that marches and rallies and vigils have their place, but today after coming back from the ice shanties we drove past at least three of these sorts of events before we got to the Mexican street food place on Lyndale for lunch. We were the only three customers at 1:30PM.

Jesus, that is terrifying.

Comments off, I see. It seems we’ve reached a new low in the debate. So because the folks who wanted to save the trees had a meeting at their local church (a year ago?) that has now been revealed to have an ICE staff as a pastor, this means that SOS is somehow ICE aligned. Do I have that right?

Holy shit, they took Georgia Fort.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

“What good are sports if they prompt us to feign normalcy?” Just wanna go on record here and say I’ve been asking this question since at least 2015.

Earlier this week I was elected Chair of the Saint Paul DFL. We demand the immediate release of Nekima Levy Armstrong, William Kelly, and two time St. Paul DFL endorsed Chauntyll Allen, as well as their respective charges being dropped. Full statement below:

Wait….what??? Holy shit.

Could not have said it better! Rebecca Noecker gains Sustain St. Paul’s endorsement in the Ramsey Co Commissioner race. 🙌

Found this at an estate sale many moons ago and now the ole Acme Thunderer has a purpose again.

People keep asking what it's like living in Minneapolis right now. The best description I can think of is this: imagine any dystopian movie or book, except the resistance all have day jobs, snow to shovel and kids in sports.

The unfortunate reality that is that peace prizes lose half their value the minute you drive them off the lot

Commenting turned off I see. Ah how I love Bluesky… I have no idea. Nobody does. Except I think we can be quite certain that if Walz and MSP mayors “command” state and local police to arrest ICE, there will be mass bloodshed. I don’t want this.

Not the greatest timing, but it’s nice to see this project get going again. The Transportation Museum will be a great spot to highlight the diverse and storied history this little house sheltered over the decades.

I hope Joe Thompson runs for Attorney General.

The replies are astonishing. Not a single person on this site has noted that barely a week ago Walz said Thompson was guilty of “defamation” and should be fired.

Even if this man is released at some point he’s going to have shoulder issues for the rest of his life. Probably low back and hip stuff, too. In the abundance of horrors, I’m thinking of all the soft tissue injuries that will also ruin lives.

This is very, very bad. Despite revealing some uncomfortable truths for us democrats, Joe was one of the good guys. I’m grateful for his service, questioning of the timing, and fearful of who he will be replaced with.

Shoutout to this little oddball dealie in downtown Mpls

If you're able, please go out and support your local immigrant-owned restaurants, grocery stores, and shops today. ICE enforcement is harming their business and keeping their workers and customers scared and at home.
