eCargo bikes are car replacers, and like when shopping for a car, test drives are key, which is why the @mplscargobikelibrary.com and other similar programs are so great…Mpls residents can borrow an eCargo bike for up to a week to see how it works for you and your specific lifestyle/needs.

Seven years of inaction is long enough. Mayor Frey promised to end homelessness by 2022. It's 2025, and there are still not enough shelter beds or resources for our unhoused neighbors. All we've seen under him is more displacement, more destruction, and more preventable tragedies.

Evidently @mayorfrey.com and @mndot.mn.gov have decided that permanent fencing will be installed early next week. This is an attack on our active and public transit system and the citizens who rely on these connections. Curious what @metrotransitmn.bsky.social has to say about this...

new press release from hamoudi sabri, who is unable to attend today's TRO hearing. he addresses mayor frey's claim that people "want" encampments, and shares a heartbreaking story from yesterday's eviction - the ashes of a woman's daughter were disposed of in the sweep

The bully mayor @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social approach to the encampments is the equivalent to Donald Dump’s use of the National Guard for fighting crime. @dewayneforminneapolis.com is giving strength through compassion, and this is how we need to navigate the storms ahead.

When we stand up for farmers and labor, we win.

If only they had a world class secure bike parking program, eh @shabazzstuart.bsky.social

Huge props to @farmaid.org for standing strong. Lynn and I are celebrating our 20th anniversary by going to this show…we’d be sad if it’s canceled, but if there was ever a time to take a stand, it’s right fucking now. www.startribune.com/farm-aid-40-...

Communist regimes tend to "cripple opposition parties, suppress information, constrict civil liberties, crush local autonomy, commandeer industry, and use police to control the population.” “Mamdani hasn’t done those things. But Trump has.” More rank hypocrisy from the thug in the White House.

How cute is this lil graphic made by Bill over at 365 Things to Do In the Twin Cities! This is our most important fundraising ride of the year. Help make sure we are able to cover the matching funds for our grants that make MN one of the best states for biking in the nation! Bikemn.org/tcbt

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

A government shutdown would probably mean I wouldn't get paid for a long time, but going along with this shit is unconscionable. Stand firm and let them pull some other unconstitutional thing to get a budget

With a September 30 deadline looming, over 80 New York Indivisible groups are urging Senators @schumer.senate.gov and @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social to hold the line on healthcare and reject any government funding deal that fuels Trump’s chaos. It’s time to fight like our democracy is on the line.

STOP ACTING LIKE THIS IS NORMAL! Why Democrats should not bail out the Republicans to avoid a government shutdown. @ezraklein.bsky.social makes a compelling case that we are, NOW, living under an authoritarian regime. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/o...

@schumer.senate.gov your reasons for avoiding a government shutdown last time were sound in some ways…none of them are relevant now. Your only position of power now is to threaten a shutdown unless certain conditions are met. This is your moment. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/o...

Look at the variety of bikes parked outside Northern Coffeeworks today. 😍 Which one do you want to ride?

DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt admitted that the government will "redact every republican" and "leave all the liberal, democratic people” on the Epstein client list. He also said Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a minimum securithy prison as "a benefit to keep her mouth shut."

Today a @mplscargobikelibrary.com member texted to let me know how borrowing a bike impacted them this week. They don’t own a bike & hadn’t ridden one in 10 years. We spent extra time at check out answering their questions to set them up for success in using the bike with their young kids. 1/2

Who gives a fuck about motives…it’s the guns. Ban assault weapons now.

If this driver is caught, anything less than permanent license suspension and jail time would be a disgusting failure of Minnesota’s legal system to protect all road users.

The hopefully power of an @indigogirlsmusic.bsky.social show in these times can’t be underestimated.

More @crockett.house.gov Less @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

The @dfl.org could’ve embraced their progressive siblings in the @twincitiesdsa.org and started a new era of big tent progressive politics in Minnesota. But their leadership is so shortsighted, narrow minded and owned by suburban millionaires that they’d rather shit the bed than stay relevant.

No matter what the DFL tries to say, remember that this happened. Multiple progressive campaigns spent months organizing and beat Frey so bad he staged a failed walk out and subsequently had to manipulate the state party into overturning the clear result. This can happen again in November.

big $$ flows to AOM, which runs polls on negative messaging, then stories are planted based on poll results with the media, who apparently just run with what they’re given this makes media like axios and the reformer another propaganda arm of the all of mpls machine trying to re-elect jacob frey

The @dfl.org (Developer Financier Landlord) party is taking their ball and going home…😂 byeeeeeeee 💋

With so many easy options to get to the "Great Minnesota Get Together" why would anyone choose to sit in traffic and pay for expensive car parking? Unsurprisingly, we'll be biking. Those FREE secure+staffed bike racks are pretty great! #MNStateFair #PedalsPoweredbySweetMarthas

This has been a problem intersection (speeding & cars don’t stop) adjacent to Brackett Park for over a decade. The community has asked many times for permanent traffic calming infrastructure but Mpls Public Works has declined to help. So, ppl painted crosswalks and set up cones #tacticalurbanism

Our state is renowned not only for the natural beauty but also for being among the healthiest and happiest of any in the nation! This is in no small part due to the robust biking culture that can be found in every community and every corner of Minnesota! www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adve...

Dear Nina and Patrick, I hope you’re okay. Welcome to the #waroncars

Democrat Senator endorses GOP funded mayor. Who’s gonna primary her?

“Putin would eat you for lunch.” Today, exactly that happened.

When President Trump announced his crackdown on crime in Washington, D.C., the local U.S. attorney said she wanted to focus on juveniles. But experts say harsher punishments don't deter criminals.

In 2024, 59% of bicycle thefts in North America occurred in a residential area. Secure bike parking is a critical part of the active transportation ecosystem. www.bicycleretailer.com/sites/defaul...

Minneapolis luminary @lauragmitchell.com getting some well deserved props for her work starting the @mplscargobikelibrary.com, chairing the board of @ourstreetsmn.org all while being married to the awesome @nissamitchell.com and raising two kids (and holding down a full-time).

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Attention anyone who has registered your bike with the Minneapolis database. Support is being ended for this service and we encourage you to make sure your bike is registered with bikeindex.org Please help spread this for awareness!

Our website got a little refresh and a new PROMO VIDEO thanks to our partners at @cyclehoop.bsky.social ! Go take a peek: mplscargobikelibrary.com

Rode an e-trike (rented from @mplscargobikelibrary.com) to Mayorpalooza last night. I don't know how to ride a bike, so this was my first ride EVER. I loved it! Can't wait to try it again! Grateful to live in such a bikeable city and to the bike library for helping me discover the joys of cycling.

Weeks after making racist remarks against @aurinmpls.bsky.social, All of Mpls-endorsed candidate Becka Thompson made racist remarks about Council Vice President @aishaforward10.com. To make matters worse, neither All of Mpls nor their endorsed candidates have called out the remarks.
