If you ride A Line, you’ll want to read this Saturday’s rider alert/detour, it’s a weird one (spoiler: the A Line isn’t going to Mpls) www.metrotransit.org/route/aline

Attn Loons fans for the 4/25 home game: buses will replace Green Line trains www.metrotransit.org/buses-will-r...

Sidewalk report in 55116: freezing rain. Walked to school and back no problem (just wet), then came home and my foot slid completely off the step trying to get in the house. Be safe, take it slow.

Do you like to ride your bike with friends (new & old)? Do you also want to help our neighbors stay housed? Have I got a great event for you, organized by my friend @chrisvaughan.bsky.social :

Before and after in Ljubljana.

If you are following MnDOT's Rethinking I-94 project and are intrigued by the ideas like Twin Cities Boulevard that really reimagine this corridor, BUT you still wonder to yourself "Where will all the cars go?", then you have to read this excellent piece!

So many people still need help.

If you’re attending No Kings at the Minnesota Capitol on 3/28 and coming from the west, note that I-94 eastbound will be closed. I wonder if @metrotransitmn.bsky.social knows about this.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Oh, my doctor told me celiac disease isn’t limiting and it’s not a disability (both untrue per the ADA). She said managing it is a “new normal” for me so it’s almost like not having a lifelong disease at all…errr I shouldn’t be so surprised but she’s otherwise a very good doctor??

Open Streets but spontaneous/during snow storms & on hills that would be good for sledding

The Bay Area Considers the Unthinkable: Life Without BART - The Bay Area Rapid Transit system was once so successful, it could rely mostly on riders to sustain itself. But the pandemic dealt BART an unusually heavy blow. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u... #transit #sfbart

My grandpa was a WWII vet who worked at a candy kitchen with his brother. Long after the shop was gone, he continued to make us caramels and peanut brittle.

Our next event has been announced and you can reserve a spot on our website. It’s this Saturday at BlackStack Brewing in St Paul and we’re partnering with @mndarkclouds.bsky.social for this one! rebelloonproject.org

If anyone is intereseted in @minnesotafrost.com tix, second row behind the bench, 2 tix, face value $50 for the pair, hit me up, make me an offer, see some Olympic gold medalists, 2X Champions. #Healthcare costs hit hard early this year, trying to get cash where I can find it.

Here is the easiest way to let @governorwalz.mn.gov and your elected and appointed officials and MnDOT engineers know that you want an immediate pause in the highway project. Send a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Pause the Rethinking I-94 Project. Takes 5 minutes, max. Write one here:

Families at Adams Spanish Immersion could sure use the help!

They cleared all the sidewalks in a DAY and put money into the pockets of New Yorkers. What are we even doing in MN??

📣 Minnesotans - call to action

Working with the Adopt a Rent program on standwithminnesota.com, I’m adopting another rent. Total rent need for this Minneapolis immigrant family is $1864. Can you help them stay housed? V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please share and give if you can! Thank you! 🌷

Minnesota folks, anyone know where I could refer a family that’s looking for rent support? My IG folks are starting to get a bit tapped out.

Yesterday with your help, we paid the rent for five Minneapolis immigrant families in need. Rent’s coming up, donations are down, and there’s still so much need here. Let’s help as many as we can today! V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please share and give if you can! Thank you!

Also - we continue to raise funds to support business relief efforts. Please share and donate if you are able. www.visitlakestreet.com/donate

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Last night, I conducted an unannounced oversight visit to the Whipple detention facility in Minneapolis. The Trump Administration’s policies are putting people’s lives at risk with their incompetence, cruelty, and lawlessness.

Breaking MS NOW: The Department of Homeland Security *unsuccessfully* sought to expedite deportation proceedings against the family of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, according to a local school official. At an asylum hearing Friday, the family was granted a continuance. www.ms.now/news/dhs-rep...

Working in coordination with standwithminnesota.com, I’m raising rent funds for Minneapolis immigrant families in need. We now have a $5000 match offer (!) and are going to help as many families as we can to stay housed today. V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Thank you so much! 🌷

Kao Kalia Yang is one of Minnesota’s greatest writers. I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing her a couple of times and she is every bit as lovely and poetic and magic as her work.

Columbia Heights Public Schools says it's identified a 7th student detained by ICE. They'd lost contact with this 5th-grader for nearly a month, but a pair of elementary school brothers spotted their classmate at Dilley and told the district when they were released. sahanjournal.com/education/mi...

Precinct 10-1 unanimously (with over 130 people) passed a resolution to have the official @dfl.org position be “DHS must be dissolved,” along with resolutions to mandate an eviction moratorium, bar ICE from operating in schools, and cut all funding for ICE while they are operating in Minneapolis.

Poverty/famine (Irish), fascism (Italian), British colonial brutality and poverty (Greek), religious persecution (French/Acadian) My immigrant ancestors left dire circumstances and came to the US with no money, no family, no job. (everyone should do genealogy, guessing this is pretty common)

My friend who matched your donations to the Immigrant Law Center (you gave 4x the match!) IS BACK to match *$5,000* Bluesky gives to DHH’s food drive. (DHH is an anchor for south Minneapolis food relief.) Link here: www.dhhmn.com/operations. Reply or DM with receipts; black out identifying info.

oh hey Minnesotans, it's a good night to call or write the governor's office . . . (call and leave a message but if you aren't up for it or the voicemail is full, write in or do both.)

We are currently looking to raise $4600 for a south Minneapolis family that is two months behind on rent. Thank you for your support gofund.me/72979e94c

I imagine most local MSP people are aware of Mercado Central. For others: this business cooperative includes 30+ Latino-owned small businesses in a neighborhood central to recent federal nonsense. Businesses can’t make rent & the coop could lose the building. Donate if you can. gofund.me/c422fd07e
