Minnesota yearns for a train to Thunder Bay.

This story is fucking crazy. With $3 million we could rent 220 studio apartments at market rate for an entire year in Minneapolis. Even if we aren’t going to do the morally correct thing by abolishing them, we have to at least defund these clowns.

Does Lego make a southside battle train? Asking for myself.

Happy mayday!

Just preparing for my first Mayday in nearly a decade.

What a day for Minnesota sports, and therefore the world!

People yearn for neighborhood bars while living in a car-brained society.

@bcmerchant.bsky.social’s Blood in the Machine is a pretty fantastic starting point.

I’ve thought for years that one of the biggest problem with living in Minneapolis or St. Paul is the existence of the other. That they’re treated as one city for things like concerts and events (also things like Amtrak) but in order to partake you practically need a car or a lot of excess time.

Twin cities feed mood

Neighborhood traffic circles that are just concrete slabs should all have a big sculpture. I need a giant Field Mouse or statue of a Rubber Duck or something at 48th and 3rd.

What happens when they lose the mayoral race? Does Frey realize he’ll actually have to be accountable if he holds all of the power? The hate he receives won’t be reduced because he’ll have nobody to blame. No star trib defense pointing at everyone else.

Every Lynx fan right now.

If your dog barks every 15 seconds and you leave them outside for 2 hours, you are a bad person.

It’s crazy how badly all of the corporate dems want to be dictators themselves. Maybe i should be less surprised when they’ve wholly accepted the “run government like a business.”

Minneapolis bikesky: is the construction on 1st Ave between lake to Franklin completed? It’s been since the middle of last summer since I even attempted to ride that way.

My No Kings hot take: I’m happy millions showed up because they are angry, but No Kings is a centralized org that only wants to activate you to vote. They don’t want to talk about what made MN great during metro surge: Decentralized hyper-local groups because those actually scare centralized power

Today is the last day for public comment for rethinking 94. You are a member of the public with opinions, you should share them. talk.dot.state.mn.us/rethinking-i94

Slay the Spire 2 in less than 20 hours! I haven’t been as excited for a video game to release in probably a decade.

How is it legal for delta to tack on $550 in fuel fees each direction to a ticket that they claim is going cost about the same amount? Are they a company that operates in Minnesota? Do they not have to comply with Minn. Stat. 325D.44? Genuinely asking because this shit seems actually illegal to me.

“When Democracy is under attack, what do we do? Sit down, write back!” “When our immigrant neighbors are under attack, what do we do? Sit down write back!” — Chuck Schumer

People keep saying ‘we’re living in unprecedented times’ and then look to the past leaders and wish they were in office still. These times are a result of those politicians, why are they authorities on how to get us out? Maybe it’s time to stop voting for precedented politicians [read: centrists]

Really wasn’t expecting to during a video about solar panels today.

As caucuses loom ever closer, I just keep thinking after all of this organization to protect our friends/family/neighbors. We’re going to get rewarded with Amy fucking Klobuchar, who seems perfectly happy compromising on everything we are fighting for. Walz has done nothing, Amy will be worse.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Great @governorwalz.mn.gov, your pen works. How about signing an eviction moratorium?

We’ve studied what they did in Chicago and we were prepared.

My neighborhood, Field, is not a bastion of radical politics by any stretch. Nearly 100 people showed up tonight to hold candles and sing “together we will abolish ice”. I can’t imagine that happening even a month ago.

If the facists could just skip to the part where they shoot themselves in the head, I think we’d all appreciate it.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Fuck Ice.

All the talk about exploding trees has me nervous about the sounds coming from my house right now.

Shout out to photojournalists working in Minneapolis right now who are doing truly incredible work here. The articles that go along with the photos might be tepid, and unable to take choose a side, but these photographs are not neutral.

Friday.

Doing the thing…

I just found out that nearly everyone that I follow on this platform is a Russian bot, which is quite frankly pretty surprising to me. Then again a consultant from DC said it, so it *must* be true. They’ve been famously right about so much recently.

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

Has anyone tried to tell Jacob Frey to get the fuck out of our city. Maybe it’d work on him?

I really hope that the DFL understands that this is the median Minnesota voter right now.

If the executive branch can unilaterally cut off federal funding to specific states the union has already been dissolved.

There’s big “We’ve tried nothing and are all out of ideas” energy from elected dems across the country today.

The events of the last year have really made me come around to the French revolutionary’s perspective.

After being radicalized by @wedge.live’s reporting of private encroachment to park land this summer, and @streets.mn recent Open Street Maps podcast, I’m making it my mission to correctly draw the parks boundaries in OSM based on Minneapolis’ GIS data.

It annoys me how much the trope of a teen/young adult in movies/tv is routinely brushed off for caring about the environment. It’s all over media written for center left audiences, and those characters are universally written off as annoying/self-righteous and dismissed.

i'm so fucking sick and tired of jacob frey

I mostly think about posting, write up a reply, make sure it fits in the character limits and then discard. It would entice me to be more online than I already am. If I like your post, I swear I’m a real person that would prefer to not post, usually in anger, about cruelties of the world.
