you can see the new franklin ave street design with a dedicated bike path coming together east of 35, to match and link up to what exists currently on franklin west of lyndale ave. another piece of great bike infrastructure and safer streets coming to minneapolis!

Ari, a friend of my daughter has been missing since Monday. Please amplify.

I am honored to be your DFL endorsed candidate for Hennepin County Attorney.

A man of fair judgment, even temperament, seeker of justice, and just all around wonderful human, @cedrickfrazier.bsky.social is the person we need for the next Hennepin County Attorney! And I'm not the only person saying so... www.cedrickfrazier.org/endorsements

Reason #1,000,000,000,000 why we should tax the rich.

At some point I simply cannot believe that this metropolitan area has four million people in it when all I do is run into my relatives.

I love that they are broadcasting the opening World Cup match in Spanish on Nicollet Mall

www.nytimes.com/2026/06/06/o... Soon as I saw the headline I knew Minnesota was #1 🏆 “a major new study finds that the No. 1 state in terms of its residents’ quality of life is Minnesota. Yes, just-a-bit-boring Minnesota. Freezing Minnesota. Calm, pragmatic, not-very-ideological Minnesota.”

Bari Weiss tried to get “60 Minutes” to make Minneapolis protestors look more violent, AFTER the Feds killed two of us. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/m... (Gift link)

County and City public works teams put years of thoughtful planning into the design of the Lyndale Ave reconstruction. Come out to the VFW tonight to support bus and bike lanes on Lyndale. 🚲🚌 We will only shift to healthier and safer transportation systems if we make those modes possible!

Aubree Derksen, a Pine Island resident who opposes the data center, said she’s “incredibly relieved” about the judge’s order. “This means I can finally breathe for at least a little bit,” she said.

Waymo plans to launch in Minneapolis this fall. What do Autonomous Vehicles mean for our economy? What's needed to protect workers? Join us next week to discuss these questions and many more! AVs in Minneapolis? A Panel Discussion June 3 | 5:30-7:30pm Register for location: tinyurl.com/AVsinMpls

I agree that the people obsessed with pushing poor people out of Uptown are making the place unwelcoming to all of us.

A Minneapolis neighborhood school created a @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social registry of books to send home with kids for the summer, and Moon Palace is selling them at a 20 percent discount! Order the books for local students at this link by May 29 moonpalacebooks.com/gift-registr...

So… Trump sues himself. Settles with himself. And gives himself a $1.8B slush fund that he controls to hand out to his allies and convicted Jan 6 rioters? And we’re supposed to think the GOP takes fraud and fiscal responsibility seriously?

Map in progress as more stands expected to come up throughout the Summer.

If I can't live in, eat at, work in or be entertained by a data center why would I want it in my vibrant downtown?

Beyond corrupt.

What did pass the Minnesota Legislature this session: • $205 million to HCMC hospital • social media age verification • 1-year reversal of tab fee hike • new anti-fraud measures • safety measures for lawmakers • limits on HOAs • $40 million in rent relief

What failed to pass at the Minnesota Legislature this session • assault weapons ban • school security funding • relief for businesses affected by Operation Metro Surge • zoning reform

Minneapolis is magnificent. I hope everyone had a marvelous mothers’ day.

Both of these policies were passed by the City Council last week. This week, in denial of the city’s struggles, Mayor Frey vetoed both of them.

They wore Donte’s jersey at the postgame 🥹 love this team so much

Minnesotans don’t need candidates whose platform is “I’m a safe bet to beat republicans.” If this winter showed us anything it’s that we believe a better world is possible, we know we deserve it, we‘ll show up to bring it into being. We want candidates who fight for us, not strive for just enough.

HCMC is too important to close. Sign our petition now and call on Minnesota lawmakers to create a dedicated revenue source to Save HCMC! www.careforhcmc.com

The Charter Commission is meeting Thursday, April 9 at 4 PM, in Room 350 of the Public Service Center. The meeting is being held to finalize the language of an amendment relating to government structure, including which department heads are subject to council confirmation. (1/5)

www.metrotransit.org/plans-to-bri... Great news for Nicollet Ave! Nicollet has been a strong candidate for a BRT line due to the ridership potential and connectivity. The city has enabled housing density along this stretch allowing more people to live here and now we’ll get high speed transit! Yay

A dispute before the Public Utilities Commission could decide if tribal nations have the right to generate their own electricity and reduce what they buy from the local utility. The case raises questions of state law and tribal sovereignty.

Many people thought switching to a strong mayor form of government was a bad idea, that people actually prefer that their council member has leverage to address their concerns. Those people were right.

If you have a problem with the provision of city services, the way a city department operates, a lack of coordination with other levels of government, the first thing to incorporate into your activism is the knowledge that Minneapolis has a strong mayor.

House Elections Finance and Gov Ops session underway! There are 8 bills on the docket today, including the Starter Homes Act (HF3895). We will be live posting here!

I love how the moderates are always able to tell us what we can’t spend money on. But they seem to consistently find a few million in the couch cushions for their agenda.

this is a must-read piece from rod adams of the new justice project on anders folk's career history as he runs for hennepin county attorney. meticulously researched, just a laundry list of reasons he can't be elected to succeed mary moriarty. it would set us back racketmn.com/dont-fall-fo...

“A city’s creativity doesn’t depend on cars. That’s the 20th century. We’re in the 21st.”— Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo. Here’s the truth — when it comes to smart city-building, @annehidalgo.bsky.social has been the most influential & inspiring Mayor in the world. Thank you Mayor Hidalgo. #UrbanTruth

The New York Times published an extraordinary study of the role of billionaires in politics earlier this week, that naturally got lost in everything that is going on, including in Iran. Here is a gift link to the article, and a few select quotes: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...

A day after Frey vetoed pre-eviction notice, two ICE vehicles are parked in MPD parking outside City Hall. My assumption would be that they’re here to meet with the mayor’s administration. We’re still under occupation.

This becoming almost a local government constitutional crisis where the law enforcement agencies think they have unlimited budgets and laws don’t apply to them.

Who keeps us safer, Dawanna Witt’s Sheriff’s Dept or Hennepin County Medical Center? I say HCMC hands down

The same day Frey vetoed a temporary extension of the pre-eviction notice, the MN Senate passed rental assistance and… a temporary extension of the state’s pre-eviction notice. Jim Abeler voted for it so Frey & some CMs are to the right of some MN republicans. www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/94/202...

bsky.app/profile/wash... We need @ilhanmn.bsky.social in congress. Not an ICE attorney.

We need to get big money out of politics. 💸 That’s why I proudly testified in support of Sen Boldon’s bill to limit corporate election spending. www.youtube.com/live/ZFbozwO...

Incredible testimony from @katiecashman.bsky.social in the Senate Elections committee today about corporate PACs influencing Minneapolis municipal elections.

Put this in your article about uptown please and thanks

South Minneapolis people - do you know where a girl can go to recycle plastic bags?? I know the Wedge does but it’s so far from my new house ♻️🙏

Pretty wild to be watching the Minneapolis City Council meeting and see the officer who killed Amir Locke presenting about “officer wellness”. Truly no shame. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

A community member's father was recently taken into ICE custody and is now awaiting deportation. Daisy’s family is raising funds to help cover legal fees and asking community to share their story and support them during this difficult time. gofund.me/2167c987f

Join us at Minneapolis City Hall tomorrow at 9:30am to testify in support of a 60-day pause on evictions. Families impacted by Operation Metro Surge and ongoing ICE presence need time to catch up on rent. Evictions don’t make us safer -housing stability does.

ICE is still tearing families apart. My friend, Daisy, who I worked with at City Hall, and her siblings had their father taken from them last week. They are all here in Saint Paul. He is in El Paso. Please give if you can. She is the best. Share widely. gofund.me/bedd2fa30

BBC's homepage is dystopian. War all over. Once again, narcissistic world leaders wreak havoc while we foot the bill-- with our health, our safety, our taxes, our energy bills. There is no such thing as bombing for peace. Let's not allow their war propaganda machine to justify this horror.
