Resilience finance works when risk reduction is measurable, valued by the market, and tied to repayment. #FutureofFinance2026 #climateresilience

Minnesota would like a word.

Sadly, it is an appropriate time to re-up this thread. Among all the other terrible things about this war, gasoline is about to become much more expensive for families that have been give too few alternatives. Here's how state lawmakers can help.

I'm gonna go with Iranian schoolgirls not being my enemy or people who pose any particular threat to me who got killed for no reason.

Beautiful morning in Minneapolis. Ran my old bridges route. ❤️🏃‍♀️ “Our lives are not only defined by what happens, but by how we act in the face of it. Selfless actions and compassion create enduring community.” #minneapolis

Trump, you in danger, girl www.cnn.com/2026/02/23/h...

www.nytimes.com/2026/02/24/c... Rewiring America was among the GGRF grantees affected. The waste is staggering - teams dismantled and capacity burned that took years to build. I’m heartbroken for the people and communities counting on these programs. And furious at the squandered momentum.

The rent is too damn high. The commute is too damn long. Here's how to fix it.

Wow! It's seriously cold in Whitehorse! This is the worst city I've checked for heat pump suitability. Still good 90% of the year though! What's your city look like? www.natethehousewhisperer.com/how-much-of-... #energysky #heatpump #2wayAC

Good luck to all the Birkebeiner racers this weekend! The largest cross-country ski race in North America kicks off tomorrow in Wisconsin. Not the Olympics, but still epic - 50K+ of grit and pure winter joy. At risk bc of climate change (this year’s route is altered). #Birkiefever

It really sucks to see left-NIMBYs trying to sabotage Zohran’s mayoralty. they’re currently attack him because he supports a plan to rebuild crumbling NYCHA apartments in Chelsea with increased density AND ensuring every existing resident gets a brand new, permanently affordable home

You never quite know what a work trip will bring. I certainly didn’t expect to find out that 23 years ago my beloved grandmother’s ashes were scattered in the gardens where I’m staying. A disarming, beautiful surprise —

What a GOOD BOY!

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

A post so smart I'm almost afraid to share it. www.garbageday.email/p/the-only-t...

TODAY - Governor Pritzker's State of the State has several housing ideas that tackle cost + climate: 🏘️ By-right multifamily housing 🅿️ Remove parking requirements 🏡 Legalize granny flats ...Following last year's NITA Act, which boosted transport choices capitolnewsillinois.com/news/pritzke...

Authoritarian force fractures when communities stay united, nonviolent, and institution-backed. Minnesota showed us what that looks like. Worth studying, not just celebrating. Important piece from @minnesotareformer.com 👇🏼 minnesotareformer.com/2026/02/13/m...

“staggering incompetence, cold indifference, and jaded cruelty…” is a terrific description of this entire administration

I finally got what I wanted, a chart that shows how much of a given year a heat pump is suitable for a given climate. I find that I can get heat pumps to work pretty well in most houses down to 25° or so.

Just a few weeks ago, the administration cancelled all remaining department of energy grid resilience projects in Puerto Rico. All of them. www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-end...

Back in Patagonia AZ for gravel. This time tho, single-track running. What an exceptionally beautiful and special place. #trailrunningsky #arizona

“Infinite Jest,” which turns 30 today, “proposed that the compulsive, addictive character of America, not least its addiction to entertainment, could best be resisted through the engaged reading of fiction,” Hermione Hoby writes. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/tqkrZb

This is what one afternoon drop looks like for one (1) Minneapolis mutual aid distributor (read: random mom who wants to help families at her kids’ schools)

Been using yaktrax all week for tapering. Wish Moco could make them available for kids so they could get to back to school safely!! Can’t be snow days forever. #runningsky #snowdays

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad. Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️

Love seeing the pictures rides all over the U.S. and the world in honor of Alex Pretti. Our family in SF drew his name across San Francisco with their bikes.

I won't be recognizing this Catherine O'Hara news, sorry. Thanks for checking in though

The Minnesota Star Tribune, @mprnews.org @minnesotareformer.com , @spokesmanrecorder.bsky.social, @sahanjournal.bsky.social, Center for Broadcast Journalism and Minnesota Newspaper Association today released the following statement:

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

there’s something about the fixation on polling when people are being brutalized in the streets by federal agents that doesn’t sit quite right

The Trump administration has “virtually stopped enforcing the Clean Air Act,” lodging just one consent decree in a relatively small case since Trump’s inauguration, compared with 26 in the first year of Trump's first term, & 22 in Biden’s first year. peer.org/under-epas-z... 1/

Big moment for Europe: in December, fully electric cars outsold petrol-only cars in the EU for the first time. This shows that clear, consistent policy works. Which is exactly why backtracking now would be a mistake. Rolling back targets or creating uncertainty would slow investment and innovation.

"DHS has suspended Gregory Bovino’s access to his social media accounts effective immediately," CNN reports

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

On Saturday we ride for Alex Pretti 1:00pm at Washburn Fair Oaks Park From Angry Catfish: “We're asking folks to host rides and come together. Bike shops and non-profits, cycling orgs and alt cycling collectives, city and rural. We are many but we stand together as one.”

“My job asks me to direct your attention toward the horizon. But my own eyes are fixed on the acute violence happening right in front of me.” Another reason to treasure @emorwee.bsky.social — she can help us care about two things at once. open.substack.com/pub/heated/p...
