I'm excited that The Coven is coming to downtown Richfield this spring! This will be the first coworking space in Richfield proper, and they're taking over the beautiful mid-century Richfield Medical Clinic building. www.thecoven.com/richfield

We live in a metropolitan area of the United States. People who are going about their lives like other Americans are being taken away for no reason and trauma is being inflicted at schools, hospitals, neighborhoods. It’s appalling that complaints are made about their dining options being affected.

hi from Minneapolis. these folks are catastrophically overthinking it; the immediate need when agents hit a block is for people that speak *any* language to know it's not safe to go out. that need is far more pressing than whatever this infantilizing "actually it's racist to make noise" shit is.

You lying piece of shit. I chaired the Minnesota DFL for all three of your runs here. I watched you lose. Three times. Minnesota never bought your con. And now, as Chair of the DNC, I’m looking forward to ending Trumpism for good in 2028 — not with lies, but with votes. Again.

Richfield passed our legislative priorities last night, with the following addition from CM Walter Burk (approved 5-0). It is regrettable that it is a "policy position" that the federal government should follow the law and decades-long norms of law enforcement. But here we are.

Got a moment to share your ideas for Penn Avenue? Richfield could use your help! (And you're welcome to share your thoughts whether you live in Richfield or not.) This survey asks about preferences for bike lane design, on-street parking, and more. beheardhennepin.org/penn-avenue/...

Mamdani's model only works in a few places now, the most effective way for him to spread his ideas is to be a good mayor.

Was a mistake to drop the "weird" attack

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors) Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

Traffic laws are now photo-enforced in the City of Mpls. Five traffic safety cameras were placed on accident-prone streets and will now issue tickets for speeding - $40 or $80 depending on the speed. This is a step towards encouraging behavior change to slow down drivers and keep our city safe.🚦

This is St. Paul.

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin? TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

Beautiful transformation of a suburban collector route in Northfield — streets that formerly had one-side sidewalk and nothing for bikes, now have sidewalks on both sides and a generous, two-way protected bike lane.

This isn't just a political claim, it's an empirical one. If "the problem is not guns" then we shouldn't see any correlation between gun ownership and oh wait platform.vox.com/wp-content/u...

We're working on a brand and placemaking strategy for downtown Richfield. Take our survey to share your ideas: what you like today, and what you want the core of Richfield to look like in the future. www.surveymonkey.com/r/DowntownRi...

Looking around, it's hard to avoid the conclusion that everyone -- and I mean everyone -- should have worked much harder to prevent Donald Trump from being elected.

We had our first Penn Avenue open house last night! You can share your ideas after the meeting at beheardhennepin.org/penn-avenue

Again, the key fact here is that convention organizers lost 180 votes for mayor (23% of the total) and wrongfully dropped the third-place candidate. Without those errors it is difficult for there to have been a mayoral endorsement. The organizers ADMIT the errors, but argued to keep the result.

The state party’s rules committee heard scores of challenges to historic endorsement that drew national attention.

reject modernity embrace tradition

This is such a sad story but a great example of where cities (especially suburbs) go wrong in zoning rules and considering public input. Public input is invaluable when you are *writing* the rules. Public input should not dictate whether or not to *follow* the rules you passed.

“We are going to transform this city,” Aisha Chughtai said during Uptown Porchfest. “F*** Jacob Frey, f*** fascism and f*** Donald Trump.”

Yeah it's really insane how the right switched from "we have to ban masks everywhere because N95s are scary" to "actually, what if we made terrorist-style face masks the de facto uniform of armed federal thugs? wouldn't that be awesome and scary?" in like four days

the DFL CBRC challenge hearing has begun. i'll be live tweeting

Brendan's a good man, and he's been an awesome community leader in Richfield for years. Pitch in if you can:

Just heard that @mollycoleman.bsky.social won the Ward 4 election handily, proving (once again!) that the anti-street-safety 'tree truther' SARPA cranks have no juice. Congrats to Molly! I think she can be an excellent St. Paul City Council Member.

Looking like some safer routes to school! This is the 70th St project (adding an EB protected bike lane and better sidewalk) and the 73rd St project (building a new trail from Bloomington to Old Cedar).

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

The Guthrie's production of Cabaret certainly carried an extra sharpness—felt in the audience—obviously due to timing. But the performances from Jo Lampert (Emcee) and Mary Kate Moore (Sally Bowles) are so exceptional that it hardly needs the help. Second this: www.startribune.com/review-sizzl...

If you’re worried about the young people today and their mental health crisis, it’s comforting to spend 5 minutes on Nextdoor. The old people are SO much crazier!

This is Bloomington.

The Met Council's long-range forecasts project that exurbs like Rogers and Belle Plaine will add over 50% to their populations by 2050, while St. Paul will add... less than 10%. This is not some law of nature that the metro sprawls while the core stagnates! It's the result of policy choices!

I disagree. I will tell you what's wrong with his jeans. 🧵

National Night Out was a blast! I hit six parties tonight.

Over 50% of our contributors are small dollar donors — and with their support, we just broke the all-time fundraising record for a Minneapolis mayoral campaign.

What even is the street "numbering" in South Minneapolis 1st Stevens 2nd 3rd Clinton 4th 5th Portland Oakland Park Columbus Chicago Elliot 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th Bloomington 16th and then it makes sense

This is Arlen.

There were serious problems with street encampments in the commercial heart of the neighborhood, some elevated crime, some new regulations for businesses, and property taxes are up while values are down. And then the city closed the core 10-block commercial strip for TWO YEARS, for construction.

My “grievance” is that 50%+ of the businesses in my neighborhood have shut while the Minneapolis progressive twitter clique has first assured us that there’s no problem, then that it’s natural part of the business cycle, and finally that old Uptown is dead and can’t come back and that’s okay

Mandatory monument signs have gotten flak from legislators — an odd requirement for residential subdivisions that requires an HOA to maintain. Some of them are cooler looking than others, but this one in Eagan always gets me. How much did someone drop on this office park sign... $100k? More?

Fight me

Congrats to the Lind-Bohanon neighborhood on their new branding. I helped spin it into a very simple (but on-brand) WordPress block theme: lind-bohanon.org

Shortest article in MinnPost history? (Okay, okay, if you click the link there is actually a little bit more context including the real number of how much we've spent on average on bikeways over the past ten years) www.minnpost.com/fact-briefs/...
