Just watched a traffic control agent get out of their car, and take photos of an empty bike lane with a tablet. I guess there must be some sort of internal push for accountability happening - probably thanks to @taylordahlin.com!

Imagine that a decade ago someone had told you that in 2025 Americans would be torrenting a handheld video of a Canadian television screen to see a 60 minutes broadcast about Trump‘s torture prisons.

Missed the 38 for the first time ever because it was early, I didn’t even think that was possible for the 38.

Joined thousands of my neighbors on Lake Street yesterday— to say ICE you are not welcome here. We love all our immigrant neighbors. In Minneapolis we stand against the authoritarian attacks by this Trump administration. We will prevail. The people united will never be defeated.

Ope turns out I need a variance to rebuild my fence as-is.

This thread is a great read!

Today, with the windchill struggling to reach 0°F at times, thousands marched down Lake Street in South Minneapolis protesting the actions of ICE. “ICE Out of Minnesota!” "MINNESOTANS KNOW ICE IS SLIPPERY AND DANGEROUS - IT'S TIME TO DE-ICE!" "Immigrants are not the problem"

The community is out strong on Lake Street in support of getting ICE out of Minnesota. Strong solidarity between our Latino, East-African, and Immigrant communities. ❤️ With @zaynabmmohamed.bsky.social

Someone give me a new show I should watch

I want bicycle infrastructure that’s safe enough to do this

Spending the evening showing my kid all the KPop Demon Hunters metal song covers.

Motion for all the neighborhood orgs to get a little sidewalk plow and pay people $25/hour to drive around clearing all the sidewalks

Important follow up:

I guess the uhaul crash has become publicly available info - I received 3 letters from attorneys and 2 injury pain relief massage letters today.

Everything is iced over right now!

Support the local, small businesses that make our community the vibrant and incredible place it is! @visitlakestreet.com has some great guides online if you’re not sure where or how to start!

Speeding unknown, there’s just no way we could know if speed was a factor here.

Just got my crash report, and have to laugh at this vehicle damage description they included.

Man I have STRUGGLED my way through over 200 pages of this book, the third in a series I generally enjoyed up until now - and I think it’s time to admit defeat and move on.

It’s easy to swing by the grocery stores on Lake Street to pick up produce—it’s usually better and cheaper than what you’ll get at Cub We’ve been going to La Mexicana Supermercado on Lake & Bloomington ever since June 3, when they opened their doors to shelter people suffocating from pepper spray

White people in Minneapolis: we can also step up with our dollars, here. Order from these small businesses on Lake. We need to step up for our neighbors in a multitude of ways here.

Bad day to leave my bungee cords at home, I suppose.

First one in line baby let’s go

It’s fun how they decided to just pile all the Government Center LRT stop snow into a giant mountain in the bike lane. Riding downtown is already so fun as is.

Look I love my cats, but it is a bit wild that every time I look up why they do something (bitey or cute!) the answer inevitably is “Cats are natures perfect killing machines, and sometimes millennia of instinctual bloodlust kick in”. Glad they’re (generally) on our side here!

Every time I fly into MSP and see the Cities from above:

Very weird to see multiple people filming content in public.

Orange Line on Lake Street looking pretty different.

Man O’Hare really doesn’t want you to easily find the CTA.

From earlier this week… Multi lane highway cutting through the city: perfectly clear City street: well cleared Sidewalk: covered in snow (w/ many footprints) We need more investment in clearing our sidewalks so everyone (not just drivers) can get around in winter. #PlowMPLSsidewalks

Good luck to whoever lost their parking ticket in this jetway bridge at MSP.

If only the many, many people drinking heavily at the airport at 6am had dressed more nicely, air travel would be so back.

Tomorrow is the last day of this!!! Shop local, and get rewarded!

I think you could pick like one person one each block to pay $50/week in winter to keep the block clear and that’s all you’d really need for municipal snow shoveling. Honestly just buy me a nice 2 stage electric snowblower and I’ll do my whole block for free every time it snows.

They could have made 100 of these movies.

It’s amazing how much more heat the heat pump makes the second it gets above -14 outside.

Seems bad

The @minneapolismn.gov is actively making the sidewalks worse. Not only do they neglect to clear the sidewalks, but they also take snow and ice chunks *from the street* and put it onto the sidewalks.

The busiest bus line in the most populous county in Minnesota is the D Line. These photos were taken within a block of it on either side. Even if sidewalk clearing occurred, parking clearing took precedent. Municipal sidewalk clearing is a moral obligation. Frey opposes it, Schaffer opposes it.

I'm pretty abled and I struggled here. Why are car users so much more important than pedestrians and transit users?

I think Dredd needs to explain where all these cars on the massive highways at the intro are being parked.

I think the best gift you can get for someone you don’t know what to gift is a tape measure. I don’t think anyone ever has enough of those, and they’re never around when you need them so another one is great.

I think one of the craziest pasts of living in the US is that basically every single person you interact with on a daily basis could be carrying a concealed gun.

No surprises here.

Together we lift each other up. Make a plan to visit Karmel Mall and support our neighbors.

By the same token if there is anything you can do to help support our unhoused neighbors, today is a good day for it. Donate to @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social hand out warmers, whatever is within your abilities. Tonight's supposed to be even colder.

My considerably lighter wallet tells me that hockey season has begun.

Today! I hope folks can join to support these small businesses, and get some holiday shopping done!
