MnDot has closed the last remaining pedestrian crossing of Hiawatha between 94 and 28th street. if you are a pedestrian who wants to cross Hiawatha you will need to walk almost a mile out of your way or walk in traffic because MnDot thinks this strategy will stop encampments from forming.

ICE vehicles have been seen this morning in the Corcoran and Powderhorn neighborhoods/ South Minneapolis. It would be great to get extra support from community today. Please help out in your local area. 1/

No public money should be used for these billionaires' playgrounds. Read "Bad Sports" by Dave Zirin. The opening pages discuss infrastructure disasters that occur in cities that are building new stadiums on taxpayers dimes.

Join us at the Uptown VFW tomorrow (Monday) at 6pm to show support for bike and bus lanes on Lyndale. There are so many more of us than there are of them.

To my #DFL friends filling up the bars in Rochester, please remember the "L" is for labor and tip these servers and bartenders very generously. Someone just walked into a busy bar and asked, "do you have a party room we could use?" That's not how that works, bud. #tipyourserver #MNDFL

not as easy as you think it is to run electronic voting at a convention is it, minnesota DFL? love, minneapolis (we are all manually registering AGAIN before we can redo the first auditor ballot) @jasoncomix.bsky.social @mikeylightsit.bsky.social

Here's a picture of the DFL State Convention, and CD 5 is the section in red. Every other section has bunches of ppl holding up green strobe lights for @amyklobuchar.com CD 5 ppl are holding up "tax the rich" signs. Just goes to show how out of touch they are on so many issues.

Minneapolis police rarely responded to immigration-related emergency calls during Operation Metro Surge, even as the department spent $10 million on overtime and standby pay preparing for unrest that largely never materialized.

Unlike @amyklobuchar.com, A Bar of Their Own also vocally supports transgender rights.

They say the endorsement process is illegitimate because it's a small group of weirdro activist insiders making these decisions. But what they mean is it would've been preferable if a much tinier group of bigger weirdos decided this.

Well, supporting Peggy Flanagan was my big motivation for attending the convention, but now I'm debating staying home to garden and have fun in Mpls. I'm an alternate. Convention experts, please advise. Should I still go?

reminder as angie craig positions herself as anti establishment for dropping out of DFL endorsement process that every congressional chair endorsed her in april. out of touch party leadership & insiders backed her, newcomers turned out for peggy flanagan, motivated to try to do something about ICE

Angie Craig sucks.

BIG WIN: 8-5! We just passed a temporary data center moratorium and I was proud to be lead author alongside my colleague Jason Chavez, @jchavezmpls.bsky.social 🧵

Another stolen bike from Northop Elementary School 🫤 Keep an eye out, South Minneapolis. #BikeSky #minneapolis

The mayor of Minneapolis and his staff are defying a community survey by recommending a group to develop a site at George Floyd Square that did not receive the most support in that survey. 

On last night’s @nacto.bsky.social DJ ride with @joyfulridersclub.bsky.social a fire truck came up behind our group of 100+. We got out of the way SO quickly. The mode & infra that slows emergency response *isn’t* bikes or protected bikeways - it’s too many drivers & car dependent infra.

This kids bike and helmet were stolen from Northrop Elementary School in S Mpls school today. Please keep a lookout, #MplsBikeSky #bike #minneapolis The bike was locked up 🫤

Seems like an easier solution would be to put the stuff that people need to buy in a special building they can visit.

Ok, I didn't need another reason to not support Angie Craig, but driving an oversized Jeep when you're *not* leading a safari is ridiculous. And then complaining about the price of gas to fill up your oversized vehicle 😂 Gas is too expensive, but that vehicle is too big for just normal driving.

“Public transit isn’t safe” 40,000 people are killed in car crashes every year in the US.

The idea of banning cars feels less and less radical every day. It is truly so depressing reading about the constant destruction caused by motor vehicles, not to mention the plastic pollution from tires and air pollution from exhausts ruining our planet.

CD5 went real leftward today. I think, however, my highlight of the day was Tim Petersen suggesting we eject "members of the Communist Party" and then people responding with a motion to eject Tim.

I'm here at the CD5 Convention and people love @peggyflanagan.bsky.social and @ilhanmn.bsky.social Just amazing people fighting for us. Can't wait to send them both to Congress.

One of the busiest places in MN needs more nightlife, so instead of safer streets for biking and walking or increasing bus/transit accessibility or opening streets for people to party, the mayor is making parking free in some spots. Cool. Inspiring. 🙄

I am extremely troubled by the amount of standby pay issued to MPD officers during Operation Metro Surge. MPD data shows some officers were paid nearly 24 hours per day for 32 days straight, while dozens were paid 8-12 extra hours each day while we stood out in the cold protecting our neighbors. 1/

For decades we’ve had school shootings and seen government do nothing. I’m proud that today we passed my bill to ban assault weapons for the first time in MN history. We can never bring back Harper & Fletcher, but today we can say we did all we could to make sure no family endures this ever again.

Hi! I'm a farmer! This NYT article is sweet, saccharine bullshit. Farmers knew Trump was going to hurt our business. Because he already did a trade war in his 1st term. I even did a video on why so many farmers support Trump, WHILE knowing he'd hurt our farms.

Sad & FOMOing bc I'm sick and not attending Minneapolis May Day. But I will be honoring my May Day ancestors by taking a sick day tomorrow, something I rarely did pre-COVID. I'd tough it out to avoid judgement from coworkers and bosses, but I'm over that. I judge*them* now for coming to work sick.

$30,000 in city of minneapolis small biz recovery funds from ICE occupation are going to edina. the 50th & france business association is in edina, the plaza they will activate is in edina, and most restaurants in this business district are in edina what a waste taylordahlin.com/f/minneapoli...

@taylordahlin.com coming in with another barn burner. Minneapolis is giving $30,000 of money earmarked for Operation Metro Surge recovery to the 50th and France business association so that they can put on concerts in the plaza… in Edina. Email your councilmember. taylordahlin.com/f/minneapoli...

Some people, even some liberals, really despise poor people. Despise poor people more than they hate grifters, more than they despise cruelty and harm, more than they despise genocide even - We should unpack that before we let those people determine our public policy.

this is america. you could find yourself within 100yds of a shooting at any time, in any place. school, the grocery store, a movie theater, a block party, a public park… it happens to regular people every day. but this week we’ll get 50+ weepy op-eds because it happened to the guys who write op-eds

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Yesterday, Republicans in the Minnesota Senate tried to make it harder for 1.2 MILLION women to vote. We shot it down, and instead passed legislation to secure our elections, crack down on interference and intimidation, and ensure every vote is counted. #mn #elections

In honor of Earth Day, we took our zero emissions wagon to pick up second hand furniture.

i honestly don't even know what to say. why does the city & county hate people congregating? i know, i know--racism, classism, fear of 'other', discomfort. jesus.

Public Schools have lost students and state funding that follows each student for years to private & charter schools. Our funding has also failed to keep up with inflation. School staff, from teachers to secretaries to building engineers are doing more work with fewer staff than needed.

Minneapolis Public School District has been facing this kind of assault for two decades now. RT Rybak and his business philanthropy pals have opened more than 110 charter schools in Minneapolis! More than 110! It's a wonder the district still exists at all. www.npr.org/2026/04/19/n...

... acknowledging you're kind of redundant & demonstrating you're less organized, but then saying you won't abide & are going to keep running, thereby actively attempting to divide community bc YOU care a lot is the most egotistical & white-lady-ing shit & a quick way to lose my respect

It's another convention Saturday! I'm excited to endorse @christin-with-mpls.bsky.social and Becca Dryden for school board. I'm an MPS Mom and Education Support Professional and we need better leadership to make our schools stronger. Fingers crossed I'm home for dinner with my MPS kiddo 🤞🏻

An online rape school. Trigger warning if you read this, obviously. Fuck this. edition.cnn.com/interactive/...

The worst part of any bike ride is cars.

This may be a silly question, but, what should someone interested in urbanism, politics, education, history, green energy & climate pursue in grad school? I'm interested in MURP programs & Social Studies 5-12 Teacher licensure programs. My main concern, though, is actually getting a job.

Exposing a global 'rape academy.' A months-long CNN investigation uncovers a hidden network of men encouraging each other to drug and assault their partners, and swap tips on how to get away with it. New from CNN's Saskya Vandoorne, Niamh Kennedy and Kara Fox. edition.cnn.com/interactive/...

What is going on here. I don't know a lot of true blue super active DFL types for whom it even occurs to them to say "I'm not a Republican."

New All of MPLS/we love MPLS/isweartogodwerenotrepublicansbro/protect our platform/pragmatists against progress -anti dsa bullshit just launched

Frey arguing his job was to go on TV and do broody photo spreads in magazines is the most Jacob Frey shit imaginable

We also have a solution for this.
