I regret not being on Facebook more frequently. I would have loved to call out the complete bullshit from the now-councilmember Elizabeth Schaffer. Thank you for taking credit for the relationship that my former board had with MNDoT and Public Works. You did not connect us. A complete lie.

Scones are #RecipeOfTheDay – not just any old scones, but Lily’s Scones! I know you all have strong views on whether they’re topped first with cream then jam, or jam first and then cream, and you must eat them as you like. But I do feel there’s no point in debating it www.nigella.com/recipes/lily...

AOC represents EVERY WOMAN in America right now who is sick and tired of misogyny & misinformation. She represents us and the rage we feel.

Smoke map and source fire in Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge, the cause of today's bad air quality.

"Benches aren’t just disappearing from large railroad stations, but also from subways, parks, plazas, sidewalks, and esplanades." This is a huge problem, but it's weird to write such a long piece w/o mentioning William Whyte, author of Social Lives of Small Urban Spaces, who first raised the issue.

New homelessness village opens in South Lanarkshire featuring 15 Nest Houses made by Matt Stevenson’s Ecosystems Technologies. Social Bite founder Josh Littlejohn said: “If you create an environment where people grow in confidence, build relationships it’s the first step in tackling homelessness.”

A brief story: This morning a child went missing on the way to school in my neighborhood. Law enforcement and search and rescue were called, and also the networks we built for ICE Rapid Response. 1/2

You know what would bring more families to want to spend more time downtown? PUBLIC FUCKING BATHROOMS AND PLACES TO SIT

lmao rare to see someone so easily baited in a congressional hearing, but RFK jr is a sucker

Interesting photo choice here. 😬 Just before this was taken, MPD pushed to the ground a woman bringing pizza for those protesting the killing of Winston Smith the day prior. The city settled a lawsuit for hundreds of thousands of dollars after she sued stating she suffered brain injuries.

The Uptown safety ambassadors were funded by the council in 2023. Chughtai & Cashman were banging their heads against the wall as the Frey admin refused to implement. Last month Barnette told Shaffer (Cashman successor) there's no money, it's not happening. Now it's happening.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting has hailed a ‘historic moment for the nation’s health’ after the Tobacco and Vapes Bill cleared Parliament

The City of Minneapolis, evicting 48 of the poorest families in its care, for a total of $30,144.

there is such a magic to sitting on a tiny island in the boundary waters, seeing more stars than you could have imagined were up there, hearing the loons i hope we do not rob future generations of experiencing it

"Police say a man has been arrested after a gun he was holding killed..." thats what this sounds like. wtf

Your passive voice here is evil. If you can't write "Drunk Driver Kills Cyclist" then GTFO.

The sooner the better. www.bbc.com/news/article...

We were very excited to unanimously approve the lease for Arch and River starting this summer, in the Water Works building. I hope this becomes a neighborhood staple- be sure to try it out when they open! Best wishes and thanks to our outgoing tenant, Owamni! bringmethenews.com/minnesota-li...

Disabled veterans arrested by Capitol police protesting the war on Iran. "Not another nickel, not another dime, no more for Trump's war crimes/the cost of war is too damn high."

As Trump's war on Iran continues, reminder that his own son-in-law Jared Kushner — who is leading negotiations with Iran — stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals. War gives dictators like Trump (and his family) more power and more wealth.

ICE gassed my neighborhood so much that I just found two more spent munitions on my block FROM JANUARY

Happy Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden Opening Day to all who celebrate 😊 Several spring ephemerals should be blooming after the last week of warm weather. I'm hoping to see bloodroots when I visit later today. #NativePlants

Spinach, Avocado and Pumpkin Seed Salad is #RecipeOfTheDay! I just hope you can avocados that aren’t as hard as billiard balls. www.nigella.com/recipes/spin...

A new art exhibit in Phoenix features some of the world's prickliest plants. It could also help save them. n.pr/486lQLi

No surprise DOE Secretary Chris Wright couldn’t give a straight answer when being pressed about illegally cutting #cleanenergy funding to blue states this week. These actions aren’t saving us money; they’re stunting our chances at affordability, job growth, and healthier communities.

“A political committee President Donald Trump uses to pay legal bills is in debt — and owes $1.6 million to a roster of law firms, according to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission. Trump’s Save America PAC is nearly $500,000 in the red, according to FEC data published Wednesday.”

@mayor.nyc.gov: "If you are a Mario Kart fan, government is Yoshi and philanthropy is the Golden Mushroom, that edge we need to beat Bowser on the Rainbow Road. To belabor this metaphor even further, Bowser is corporate greed in this scenario."

In January, Aliya Rahman was on her way to a doctor’s appointment when ICE agents smashed the glass out of her car windows, pulled her out of her car, and hauled her down the street by her arms and legs. Now, Rahman plans to ensure her ordeal comes at a cost to the agency that harmed her.

The answer is, Yes.

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...

This gorgeous Green Tahini Sauce, seen here anointing some roast sweet potatoes, is #RecipeOfTheDay! Given the time of year, I feel I should tell you that you can replace some or all of the herbs with wild garlic. This bold, creamy (vegan) sauce is great with so much! www.nigella.com/recipes/gree...

The North remembers. We will see you back here for court.

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

The news that Mandelson failed security service vetting is NOT NEW. The story broke 7 MONTHS AGO. See story below. Keir Starmer and No.10 claim they only found out this week. But the Independent told No.10 that it had two sources confirming he failed vetting - in September 2025. A web of deceit.

Some large storms forming along a strong cold front that'll impact the twin cities later this morning (mid-morning we'll call it). Temperatures plummet later today after a warm start. #mnwx

Every single day, Trump does something that would have ended any other presidency. Every. Single. Fucking. Day.

There is a lot of talk about re-appointment of city officials, so I wanted to talk about it. I voted against re-appointing Public Safety Commissioner Barnette because I take my role of oversight seriously, and we deserve leaders who are tracking and being responsible with taxpayer dollars.

The Senate just weaponized an arcane law called the Congressional Review Act to strip protections away from Minnesota's Boundary Waters. The move puts one of the country’s most visited Wilderness Areas in danger of permanent pollution from a proposed sulfide-ore copper-nickel mine.​

Extraordinarily long commentary piece to give the one sentence argument that the city council should merely ensure that mayoral nominees meet minimal qualifications. In which case, why give the council a role that could be done by entry-level HR workers? www.startribune.com/todd-barnett...

Jesus Fucking Christ. Trump is such a pathetic piece of shit, but his lackeys and grifting cult followers are so much worse.

The Senate took a reckless action. This hurts. 225,000 acres impacted 650,000 public comments ignored A foreign mining company now has a clear path forward We’re angry. Not done. A $150,000 match is live. Every dollar is doubled to power the fight ahead. https://www.friends-bwca.org/openwater/

mother fucking POS.

A federal audit has shown that Minnesota’s Medicaid fraud control unit punches above its weight and recommended adding more staff in order to prosecute more fraud. MN House Republicans are arguing against prosecuting more fraud for Minnesotans because they hate the current AG. Party over the people.

Allbirds was a shoe company whose business was declining. Eventually, the company sold off its assets for less than 1% of its previous valuation. But when it announced it would rebrand from shoes to AI, its market value jumped more than 500%. Wondering if AI is a bubble? Watch this.
