definitely here for the optimism! honestly, need more of it.

i'm a bluesky non-parent, and i think it sounds fun; and sometimes it feels like the city just clings to big ideas like this and forgets about the little basics, like more places to sit, public bathrooms, etc. So i hope they do _all_ the things.

I mean, I'd still ask my question of them if I were there.

Of course.

Something like that. Maybe that's too harsh, but agency updates are the place for agencies to share what they're doing, and understand the impact on community.

My ? would be "There was a community meeting with the MAC on 4/20; & an opportunity for the MAC to hold Delta accountable to being the airline of choice for ICE, by moving the Delta lounge item off the consent agenda for further discussion. Can you share more abt the decision to not do that?"

Which is even worse, honestly, because whoever the MAC rep is now is one of the commissioners who voted to move the lounge forward. I know they're repping the MAC at TAB, not themselves, but they should actually be able to explain why this was moved forward.

Headline sounds like a b-movie: watch out for the Killer Kars. Seriously, this is awful.

NBC News really carrying a lot of water for Queen Elizabeth this morning; whew.

And they chose not to. Why?

Their response, I'm assuming, is that they can't control what the carriers do. So this feels like an opportunity to push them on that: they had an opportunity to hold Delta accountable by just removing an agenda item for further discussion (the lounge).

Jesus.

next time the MAC rep is at TAB bragging about how awesome MSP Airport is, they should be asked about this.

this, so much :(

I saw that Strib article and that's all I could think about :(

if you see this, post something orange from your gallery.

I don't think so, but it looks like I should!

wanna know something that is more painful than a lumpectomy & re-excision? dealing with your health insurance provider!

honestly, if i were in space and saw this, "dude. no way" would be my reaction too. this is tremendous.

Someone was taken near 20th & Central tonight at 10 PM. Within 5 minutes, there were over 20 people on a call and even more people on foot in the area to respond.

Different angle; still pretty.

Minneapolis is pretty tonight.

(i will be on the slower end of the ride, lol. so if you're a slow rider, we got each other)

Widow's Plans for Her Final Years Upended as Proposed Data Center Leads to 28 Evictions in One Neighborhood (Exclusive) Residents of Meadowland Village Mobile Home Park in Kentucky, many of them elderly, disabled, retired, or on fixed incomes, are opening up to PEOPLE about being told they had roughly 90 days to vacate...

"“They just up and said you have 90 days to move,” Helphinstine, 50, tells PEOPLE. “I have no idea what I'm going to do. I bought the mobile home so I could have somewhere to live. Now, I'm going to be homeless because I'm going to lose my home.”"

I want to have something more clever to say, I really do, but jesus, if you're challenging Ilhan Omar and you use a TMZ article in your fundraising email, what are you even doing?

great news here!

Congratulations!
