All this convenience is built on the backs, and the lungs, and the ears and the pocketbooks of the residents of the East Side, Frogtown, Midway, Seward and beyond. Sure they can bike and walk near their homes, but they can hardly get anywhere else without driving through someone else's community.

They are not supposed to look like that. But a quick replacement and the cooling has restarted.

Y'all if you think that the reason we don't have universal healthcare is that it costs too much, I don't know what to say to you. We would get better healthcare for less money with universal healthcare. The cost is not the issue. There are many reasons we don't have universal healthcare.

Minnesota HF 5077 that would reduce state aid to cities that fly the old state flag is a *horrible* idea. I am sorry to see my rep as one of the authors and have asked them to withdraw their support. www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/94/202...

Omgggggg!

Three months after Ottawa removed its automatic safety cameras, the share of drivers following the speed limit plunged from 87% to 41%(!). "High-end speeding" is up 10x. Automatic enforcement saves lives. If you remove it, people will die.

I love this idea, but shared bikes and scooters are still way to expensive in the Twin Cities. $5 will get you only 11 minutes or so of riding here... CTA, Pace Suburban Bus to offer $5 Divvy credit with 30-day pass purchase

Wow! The Minneapolis speed cameras actually work... Now 👏 can 👏 we 👏 please 👏 do 👏 this 👏 everywhere!! lims.minneapolismn.gov/file/2026-00...

Saint Paul faces real challenges, but I’m still optimistic. I’ve seen the momentum firsthand at @sustainstpaul.bsky.social, with community members, partners, and local leaders all stepping up. Every gift this month is matched up to $1,500. Help us get there: www.sustainstpaul.org/donate

This cannot be stated enough. As the world burns, and people keep getting run over by cars and trucks, and gasoline is starting to cost what it should but for the wrong reasons, well hey @mayorher.bsky.social despite what SOS says I can't wait for the Summit Avenue protected bicycle lanes 💥👍💯🚲

Universal health care when?

Please, I am begging people: never again repeat the claim that only two people were killed in the occupation of Minnesota.

“With each day”??? Heck no!! This was clear from the very start. Stop normalizing this completely corrupt regime.

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!

This event is TOMORROW/THURSDAY EVENING! I highly recommend it. What Saint Paul, and Minneapolis and the rest of the core of our region, needs is MORE DEVELOPMENT to drive Lower Taxes AND More Services. Come hear how this works...

I'm know I'm probably just too old and too dry, but I am getting tired of almost every organization holding their public events at brew pubs. And equally tired how many have so few options besides alcohol. Do we really have no other third spaces for fundraisers and celebrations?

Just getting to chapters 8 and 9 now. I feel like I've heard this story recently...

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Looking for resolutions to propose at your caucus tonight... here are some more great idea for making our communities stronger and more sustainable. And of course don't forget to ABOLISH ICE.

Do it! You know you want to...

Thank you @metrotransitmn.bsky.social employees for getting us to and from the rally today. We ❤️ you! 🚊 🚌

A Saint Paul Public Works employee has been detained by ICE and taken to Texas Public works director @seankershaw.bsky.social - "This is someone who should be here, had every right to be here, was helping to take care of Saint Paul Streets, and was illegally detained" www.fox9.com/news/st-paul...

Now the actual military has to dress like it’s not the military cuz federal law enforcement agencies dress too much like the military

Just sayin'...

@transit.app wrapped is here!! I don’t always use the GO feature so that’s not the best reflection of my transit rides. But the number of times I opened the app is great. “I thought about using transit on 186 days this year”

Walking one block from the Mpls Franklin Ave LRT Station to the Mpls Franklin Station LRT Station renovation open house. 🚷🚊 Sound off here: www.surveymonkey.com/r/76Q3G9B

LOCAL HYPERLOCAL JOURNALIST ICON NEEDS THEIR BIKE BACK

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Trump, Carr, Sinclair, Nexstar, MAGA and the GOP badly don’t want you to be able to watch this. Sinclair and Nexstar are still banning it (I couldn’t watch it last night via Seattle). So it seems like every single one of us should watch it and share it on YouTube if they haven’t already. #Kimmel

This is the part of "Abundance" that I think we urgently need: our bureaucratic agencies/systems are not up to the task. They end up being small c conservative. And I think progressive mayors/govs/etc seem unwilling to think about what it would be like to explicitly reshape bureaucracy.

Yes! to this. I find the name “administrative citations” to be a bit wonky. I like to think of it as “let the City fine those who break the rules” instead of just looking at them sternly and hoping they will do better!

Really bad decision @dfl.org

As always @naomikritzer.bsky.social is clear, thoughtful, and spot on! There are clear differences in this election and pieces like this help everyone decide which candidates align with their values.

Harriet Island is a lovely event venue: grassy fields on the river with spectacular views of downtown. What it does not have is good transit access. If one is genuinely concerned about folks getting to Harriet Island by transit, maybe start with that goal in mind. 1/2

Last ride….

Just leaving this here... www.transittalent.com/articles/ind...

Calling all transit information sleuths: Dear friends gifted me this bus stop sign from a rummage sale in western Wisconsin and I can’t figure out where it’s from. Ideas?

An annual tradition!

Thinking about a sign to make for the rally tomorrow. Maybe I have an old one around here I can use. Ah yes... NO MORE GUNS, NO MORE WAR U.S. OUT OF EL SALVADOR

Twin Cities bicycle folks: Can anyone direct me to resources for local bike stores with public shops (i.e. public can pay for time to use the space and tools) and/or a good place/person to teach me to true a wheel.... I'm just not good at it...

So glad to finally see this rolling out (again). Speeding is a scourge that kills people and generally makes living in the city worse. The arguments about privacy have always been bullsh*t. Let's do this now. And let's do it in Saint Paul, too.

From time to time, I meet someone new to Minneapolis or St. Paul who intends to try out the transit system. I tell them that transit is great, but using it can be harder than they think. Without a few tips and tricks, the experience can quickly sour. buff.ly/TiXQ9av

This is so dangerous. It’s going to kill people. It HAS killed people. It’s killing people right now. I cannot believe this

Good morning to everyone but especially the METRO Green Line

Heading to Dakota County on MVTA Route 446. Dope seats!!

If cities put half as much effort into restricting cars as they do into criminalizing people who rely on sustainable transit, we might actually have safe, livable streets. Instead, fare evasion is treated like a crisis while car dependency gets a free pass.

Found when sorting an old drive. I still, very occasionally, say 'not many badgers in the House of Lords' and this is why:

I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academic—curious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course these past few years has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.
