we've got some ICE shit going down in our little town today and it took like three minutes for a convoy of wine moms to start chasing them around town. normies hate this shit and are putting in the work

“We used to have a happy-hour group that would go out once a month,” Don, a Northstar conductor, remembers. “We either meet at Cowboy Jack’s or Tootsie’s. Some of the people were close to being family."

Mayor Mamdani said over the weekend that he wants the Department of Transportation to add daylighting before someone has been killed rather than wait to ban parking at intersections after a completely avoidable tragedy. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/05/m...

A council member who arrived to inauguration in a cybertruck voted against the council member who rides a bike year-round continuing as president? What a surprise! I'm glad @elliottpayne.org was re-elected for this role. We need more folks in leadership positions who walk/roll/take transit/bike.

"When I discovered HOURCAR’s Evie Car Share program, it completely changed my life." (includes Jarret Walker reference!) streets.mn/2026/01/05/m...

I too have become an evangelist for this program. It's super cheap and easy and could easily help a family cut a car out of their household.

Shocked to see that the most obvious thing ever has happened.

Once again, Minneapolis (& greater Twin Cities metro): check in with your neighbors. Get involved.

Multiple officials told them that the total federal presence could involve roughly 2,000 agents over the course of the month-long deployment. I condemn this federal action meant to cause fear, tear families apart, and cause pain across our community. 2/

CBS News is reporting that the Trump Administration has begun deploying hundreds of agents to Minneapolis (Minnesota). This is especially concerning with what we are feeling on the ground of increased immigration enforcement. 1/

If my recently submitted op-ed on #RethinkingI-94 is published in the @startribune.com I want this quote included. Enough planning for drivers to race through our beautiful cities when we can create a stampede of new residents simply by making a former highway an actual amenity.

Awesome to see on both counts.

lmfao hell yeah

There is a lot happening in Minnesota politics, and a lot of uncertainty. But one thing is for sure: I am RUNNING and my campaign will continue to center JOY, PEOPLE, and PUnK Rawwwk!! Join me and @maryjammusic on the 27th for a party. RSVP at the QR.

if you want to see a massive geographic gap on display in real time, read the posts on tim walz right now and compare the perspectives from minnesotans and from everyone outside the state

I, for one, want to live on the grid. I love the grid. I want to pay taxes to the grid. And I want the grid to run on Anything But Carbon energy.

Minnesota has to come first - always. Today, I’m proud of the work we’ve done to make Minnesota the best place to live and raise kids. I’ve decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work.

From my perspective, these were both campaign issues that voters made their voices clear on. But, we still need to hear your support for these critical issues. Please sign up to testify at open time, or email and call your commissioners to ask for your support! We can be a city of progress!

Huge news today! That's right, at our Park Board meeting this Wednesday at 5pm I will introduce two resolutions. The first is to restart our Open Parkways work. The second would direct staff to reopen work on following the long range plan for the Uptown Mall Park! agendasuite.org/iip/mprb/mee...

Indeed it is, but the new commissioners could use your support and encouragement. Be sure to reach out to your commissioners. Don't get complacent!

The weather advisory I saw this morning also recommended people prepare for power outages so here I am again urging people to Charge All The Things (in one sense, probably not the other).

I know it's not going to happen, but I really wish Tim Walz's announcement today will be about Minnesota succeeding to join Canada.

My favorite thing about The New York Times is not giving them any money.

Dear neighbor, Please take precautions. Our neighbors are waking up to a ton of immigration enforcement across our communities and neighborhoods. Families are being separated. Please be safe. We need folks to patrol our neighborhoods, give rides to neighbors, and to keep an eye out. 1/

If you are looking for what committees all the Minneapolis Park & Rec commissioners are on this year, boy do I have the article for you.

Melissa Hortman would have been a great governor.

The first big Lego build I've finished since my cancer journey began. Which means I should have the brain power to finish the Chinese restaurant I started before chemo (it has been half completed for almost two years).

The United States Congress has the Constitutional power and the patriotic duty to stop this insanity immediately, for the good of all Conservative and Liberal Americans’ future.

Disaster. We’ve made massive progress against cancer in recent decades, and Trump seems determined to reverse an awful lot of it.

DFL staff are now confirming this is true and tim walz will be dropping from the governor’s race tomorrow morning

seems what i heard a few hours ago is true and tim walz is dropping tomorrow. my sources also couldn’t confirm it at the time though

I’m really glad I did my major freakout before he was reelected, before the inauguration. No one is coming to save us. It’s not too late to build your mutual aid network and protect those more vulnerable than you. Keep showing up for your community.

Twin Cities: Does anyone have a spare kids’ booster carseat laying around (with a back or backless) that you’d be willing to loan or donate to support local families in need right now? Reply here or DM me! Please share - need is time sensitive.

It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.

There was a bump. Frog fell off the sled.

Statements from the children of MN House Leader Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, about a video shared by President Trump that is spreading a conspiracy theory about the lawmaker’s death.

And that's a wrap. At 3:47PM the last passenger train leaves Minneapolis for good. These particular tracks were first laid in 1867, becoming the transcontinental mainline of JJ Hill's Great Northern Railway empire and the nation's gateway to the Pacific Northwest.

A yard sign like this wouldn't even be possible in other climates.

NYC-heads: is there a good place to rent a 20-inch kid’s bike for riding on the Hudson River Greenway or Brooklyn Bridge Park? My family is going in late March/early April. Grownups can rent CitiBikes but the kid needs something smaller. Thanks!

Reminder that the mayor can veto park board actions (I meant to set up a pool for the date of the 1st veto) so it takes 6 of 9 votes to override. Commissioner Deshpande might be a critical swing vote. He’s a reasonable guy. Map of district here: www.minneapolisparks.org/wp-content/u...

Mplsfolks: Do you remember how glorious it was to have MPRB parkways closed to car traffic in 2020 to create more space for walking/biking rolling? Do you want to see more of that? On Jan 7th there'll be an amendment to the planning committee to revisit this! If you're in parks district 3...

I ❤️ you, Mpls (and beyond!) Keep going

If you can do so, riding a bike daily is a really good middle finger to the oil barons ruining the world.

Dear community, from Minneapolis and beyond- Wow! We are STUNNED that in a little less than 24 hours, our ask was shared hundreds of times on multiple platforms, generated positive discussions about mutual aid, and has raised almost SIX TIMES our original goal!
