Just a reminder that LAST time Mpls was the center of a reckoning around police violence, we ended shoveling more money to police and less to social services. Minneapolis still feels the wounds of the last time, with an even richer police force.
This is what we need to guard against, yet again.
You're surprisingly funny

Hey MN when are we joining this? @governorwalz.mn.gov
Where are the best breakfast burritos in Minneapolis? I'm assuming somewhere on Lake Street?
Love to start my day off by being refused service by a company's call center because I use a different name than my legal name and "that name doesn't make sense as a nickname" 😡
Welp, I'm officially the target demographic for the grocery store and the airport restaurant based on the music they play.

I say Lynx come back and avenge their teammate and coach. #LosLynx
If MN counties accept federal funds for ICE detention facilities they should be ineligible to receive state transportation funding.
Not only is it possible to believe that political violence is bad AND Nazis are bad (and not to be mourned as part of public life), it’s… a very consistent worldview
The thing about investing in public transit is that it *scales* — the more people use it, the better it gets. For everyone.
Whereas the more cars there are, the *worse* everything about driving gets. Traffic. Parking.
[Ever noticed that in just about every car ad it’s alone on the road? Yeah.]
Mascot dodgeball at the Lynx game
Me watching all of the backed up traffic on the interstate to get into downtown while I pass them on the bus:
On a Friday?! I bet it was a ghost town.
If you’re sick right now, please test for Covid. Stay home if it’s at all possible, and wear a mask. Ideally an N95.
It’s not over. It was never over.
No one is coming to save us so we must save each other.
One of the best ways to do that is to commit to breaking chains of transmission!
Target has a giant billboard ad up in NE (Broadway/Central) for fluoride free toothpaste 😡
I’m just saying, what if we blocked off streets from traffic so neighbors could chat and kids could play more often?
Is that too much to ask for?
I saw someone post photos of their dogs this morning wearing dog respirators!
I hope Prowl is taking notes.
During pride month?!
Franco and Associates in St Paul. They require masks for patients and staff.
They kept me informed of what they were doing and what to expect, gave me options for how to proceed, and asked for my consent every step of the way (and made it clear how to revoke it).
I feel like we don’t talk enough about how Metro Transit has a mascot named Skip Traffic.
I had a colleague that would wear his when working from home, because it was part of his routine of getting ready for work.
You can tell it's a new pick when the bus driver misses their turn and the regular riders coach them back onto the route
I'm the woman that does a shit ton of work but didn't get included in the video.
