Hey I did this little thing that I'm proud of

I don't know who needs to hear this but if you're only "fine" when everyone in your life walks on eggshells around you you're not fine.

The top notch organizing in Minneapolis and the Twin Cities Metro to defend our neighbors has shown to be effective at derailing abduction attempts. It has also shown that some of you didn't have neighborhood group texts before now. I'm sure your potluck attendance will improve after we win.

Before I came, I asked a local friend if the cold (it's going to be -20 or so in the coming days) would stop people from coming out. "No, we'll be there. It's ICE who can't handle it."

A lot of non-Minnesotans are asking how they can help people in the Twin Cities. Here's a very easy way that will cost you absolutely nothing. Do not vent in the replies to videos or other posts from Minnesotans. We're all on edge, and your rageposting and doomposting isn't what we need right now.

Taking a break from all this and going to church

I was genuinely dismayed that this very good dig on St Paul didn't get the round of applause it deserved

If you lost your Silverado I found it.

Thanks to Rep. Koegel, Sen. Dibble and Rep. Jones for speaking the truth that the budget is being unfairly balanced on the backs of transit riders (and the future transit system we should be building), while road funding is protected. #mnleg (1/2)

i saw so much leadership from the mayoral candidates on site. @omarfatehmn.com talking to an upset woman who saw agents take people away. @jazzformayor.bsky.social running around trying to deescalate. @dewayneforminneapolis.com checking on the person who was injured no mayor frey

After a powerful day of organizing, the Ward 10 Convention ended with us in first place with 52% of the delegates. This win is a testament to our transformative work together over the last 4 years and the power of our vision of a city where everyone has what they need to thrive.

Having served on a Community Advisory Committee, I think a lot about how we need parks to be a third space for everyone in the community. Too many want parks to be an extension or their backyard and not something for visitors outside the city or even the neighborhood to enjoy.

If you see a good girl on the train no you didn't

Nothing brings me more joy than people-watching on a bike corridor.

It’s important to have at least one mug that, when you drink out of it, everyone knows you are absolutely not okay.

I know we all love to hate Robert Moses but just imagine a world without Escape From Manhattan

Yes Dispatch? I would like to report a murder.

Hello from "I ate your Valentine chocolates" Why do we like these expensive stinky beasts

He thinks Drake beef is a McDonald's order

Drake's gonna be the first person to ever lose a Super Bowl halftime show.

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs. Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

This is a good time to tell your elected members of the domestic opposition that when they ask the hard questions you've got their back

The years between 2020 and now feel like a long sleep from which I'm just now waking up. I can't say I want those years back, but I have so much to do. My life is fine, but I'm impatient.

Srsly can everyone just stop complying in advance or

Fine, I will reset the “Earth” simulation 🙄 What a waste of time this was.

Hi this dog is cancer free

There’s going to be a lot of knives in a lot of backs in the next four years and Elon is not cut out for this shit

Being parentalized at an early age is just preparation for managing up in the corporate quagmire

Instead of being suspicious of a joint Jacob-Ilhan endorsement, maybe consider the political wizardry it took to make that happen, because y’all know those two don’t like each other AT ALL.

Calling in from the vet office where it seems that every person who has a pet only brings them to the vet to complain about the last person who came in to the vet office (It's me, I came here to complain)

Here are 6 tips and tricks for increasing your civic engagement, courtesy of one civically engaged Minneapolis attorney. racketmn.com/get-involved...

It was insane four years ago too. And I worried about every little thing he did. Some of it happened, yes, but some of it didn’t. We can’t keep doing this again or we are not going to make it outta here with our sanity.

I have a different take on DoorDash discourse. Because DoorDash strangled my beloved TacoCat’s business model, I should be allowed to throw members of their CSuite into the River.

“Hi, most annoying person you’ve ever encountered here! I noticed this post you wrote in 3 seconds doesn’t line up with every experience I’ve ever had. This is extremely harmful to me, the main character of the universe.”

Best $100 I ever spent.

A thought that's probably best kept in my head, why are people so bad at catching dogs?

ELI5 rich people and their obsession with eye art

The subtext here is if you abuse a privilege and lose a privilege, the consequences must include someone sustains life altering injuries or worse, doesn't make it.

Just an FYI when talking about city/town budgets:

Nazis: I need you to send me untraceable currency so that I don't starve to death Also Nazis: our worldview is sustainable for at least a thousand years

How are we going to fight world war 3 while we’re having a civil war at home?

It's crazy that Ridley Scott is responsible for this movie and Alien (1979), my single favorite film, but also the flaming POS that is Gladiator II. 🤷🏻

There is something extremely satisfying about shitty employees leaving, when you knew they were shitty the entire time and management was too dense to see it.

just imagine how rough even the finest cloth was in 1800 these people were CHAFING

Poor Marion Savage. His great dream was to build a fancy electric railway to Chicago via the Mayo Clinic. Then the love of his life died and he died of a broken heart 2 days later. Now there's not even an Office Max to honor him.

Let’s be clear: cycling is the tool, not the goal. By changing how we move, we can change how cities work; allowing everyone to use public space on their own terms, without feeling excluded. Whether they're an 8-year-old or an 80-year-old, we can make them feel welcome. WATCH: vimeo.com/1029701639
