A BETTER FUTURE IS POSSIBLE IF YOU SHOW UP FOR IT Rally with us and @twincitiesdsa.org at the second of two public meetings hosted by @mndot.mn.gov to oppose the removal of the the at-grade/boulevard compatible options.

"social profit"... there's an idea

NEW: In Minneapolis, Soren Stevenson lost an eye from a police officer throwing a projectile during the BLM protests. Now he's running for a seat on the city council. And what's interesting is how he says he intends to keep police violence in the spotlight—and not let it go into backseat.

Frey's actual record: encampment shootings, fires, and explosions. Now thinks he can pin that record on his mayoral opponents.

The people in my neighborhood that currently have @mayorfrey.com yard signs are the same people that had Trump signs last year

Don’t buy or support the @startribune.bsky.social. Feels like ignoring these massive protests across MN is a definite choice - likely guided by its owner Glen Taylor, a Republican and richest person in the state. But if it’s just a “mistake” that’s equally pathetic. Either way, they’re worthless.

Such a great thread about the $$$ rot at the core of Mpls politics

Despite the CFB findings, MPR News and the Star Tribune didn't report on these campaign violations or the $ from the Minnesota Multi Housing Association and the Downtown Council to Thrive Mpls. The only reference appears in Strib's coverage of Rick Kupchella’s propaganda film “Precarious State.”

mid september was not the first time they campaigned together. they’ve been doing this for months at public events as a unified front saying rank all 3 of us bsky.app/profile/tayl...

I'll start a bidding war for the Disc Trucker if it's in my size

Ugh. Mayor Frey trying to get bonus points by recording a video (about gun violence) on bike. Feels very performative, given his actual track record on active transportation, including CLOSING the Stevens/Greenway bike/ped ramp due to gun violence. Don’t trust Frey.

IPG owner brian fitterer, whose tenants describe unsafe conditions and unresponsive managements, also maxed out to elizabeth shaffer in ward 7 in addition to donating half a million dollars to donald trump

Whyyyyyyy is this separated bike path next to the @metrotransitmn.bsky.social Blue Line closed while the Blue Line is also under maintenance? The “bike detour” just spits you out on Cedar Ave by the highway ramp 🥴

E-bike companies should hand out coupons at the top of this hill on West River Parkway

A bit harder for me to do #WeekWithoutDriving with @metrotransitmn.bsky.social Blue Line out of service. Lots of biking ahead for me this week!

But I thought it wasn't an ICE raid on #LakeStreet in #Minneapolis. www.startribune.com/owner-of-lak...

Last week, we published a report outlining three roadway design concepts to consider for the future of the Olson Memorial Highway. www.ourstreetsmn.org/2025/09/17/n...

Now through the end of October, we're giving out Our Streets merch for new sustaining donors, starting at just $3 a month! There's no better time to commit to a monthly giving. www.ourstreetsmn.org/get-involved...

I wrote about the new proposed Lyndale Avenue reconstruction design, one of the most confusing things Hennepin County Public Works has done in years. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

“The response to this week's mass shooting at an encampment highlights the lack of empathy, imagination and leadership that mark Frey's tenure. His administration seems to only know how to pull two levers: eviction and fencing.” Shoutout to @beukema.bsky.social for his letter in today’s Strib

If you're wondering, the indignant tone of the strong mayor's press release is because he's sick and tired of people holding him responsible for his multiple mayoral terms of failed encampment response. Mr Mayor, no one has the power to stop you from implementing your solutions.

Would you like to take a train from St Paul to Albert Lea? What about from Faribault to Des Moines? The re-establishment of train service between the Twin Cities ⇆ Des Moines ⇆ Kansas City is possible. allaboardmn.org/site/assets/...

June polling showed Mayor Frey’s challengers with a combined one point lead. 3 months later and that lead has grown. A lot. New polling shows @omarfatehmn.com, @dewayneforminneapolis.com and @jazzformayor.bsky.social now lead by 10 points. In a city with ranked choice voting, this is a big deal!

A huge congratulations to @teamsters.bsky.social Local 320, who have reached a tentative agreement with the University of Minnesota after 5 days on the picket line! As an UMN alum, I’m proud to have stood alongside University service workers demanding a fair wage increase. 〽️ When we fight, we win!

I guess I’d be a defensive bully,too, if my challenger had more legislative wins under her belt despite not holding office than I did for my entire career in multiple elected positions of office.

the downtown council last week tried to kill the bike lanes on 9th and 10th that are supported in their own long range plan if the downtown council wants more people experiencing downtown, why make it harder for everyone not in a vehicle? they fight transit and bikes

We're excited to see our friends at @allaboardmn.bsky.social are on here! If you want to see more car free long distance journeys in MN, give them a follow!

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country… Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year. And America shrugged and moved on.

Come to the Lyndale Ave Open House tomorrow to talk to the project team and WEAR ORANGE to show your support for the Orange option that we want the County to bring back! Wednesday, September 10, 4-6pm at SpringHouse Ministry Center.

He owns/leases 2,000 apartment units, has a lot of money at stake in this election, so you can understand why he might pretend to live in Minneapolis and actively participate in the disenfranchisement of 80 actual residents at the Ward 2 DFL convention. taylordahlin.com/f/robin-wons...

Mayor Frey a no show at tonight's candidate forum.

I think a lot about how I was 10 years old when Columbine happened. Republicans let the assault weapon ban expire 5 years later. 10 years after that, the number of school shootings had increased by over 1000%.

On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable

"How 35th and 36th streets’ State Aid designation plays out is critical: It can either be part of the problem or part of the solution, hindering or helping realize the corridor’s potential as a pair of vibrant, neighborhood-oriented streets."

Want a happy city? Build for bikes. So pleased to see Minneapolis continuing to be on this list & can personally confirm: I am happier here than anywhere I've ever lived. And a huge factor in that is my ability to live a less car dependent life with my family.

In case the CVP wasn't clear, Fuck you Frey.

Hardly anything could be dirtier & grimier than a relatively small group, hundreds of city residents, gathering in an auditorium to decide a local DFL endorsement. Except a committee of outstate bigwigs overturning that endorsement bc their guy needed it bad. That seems dirtier.

coordination between the Frey campaign, Frey PACs and the failure/corruption of local journalism

Want to direct everyone to Taylor’s thread on the millionaire All of Mpls pro-Frey PAC if you want to learn how the electorate and media is influenced at the big-donor level. Will throw some comments in her 🧵. (Hey other journalists this is a great story!)
