Ok, here's my downtown Minneapolis fever dream fantasy: we turn City Center into our version of City Museum (non-privatized), so we have a multi-generational play space. And the 2nd floor has free public bathrooms, free showers, nap space, hang out space, and lockers. Ooh, and a kitchen or two.
This man refused to help families at risk of eviction during Metro Surge and threatened Minnesotans with his own National Guard if they didn't comply with illegal actions by the federal government.
But sure, Tim. Drinks for seniors.
Construction for Enbridge's Line 5 oil pipeline has started in northern Wisconsin.
Anishinaabe leaders are raising alarms about the threats to the water & covert police deals in the state.
A rally against Line 5 is being held today in downtown St. Paul outside the Army Corps building at 4:30 pm.
Hey, genuinely, you do not sound well. Please find a good therapist and an outlet for your rage that doesn't involve heavy machinery.
Lot to unpack here, but for a start, "if you have school age kids, you're able-bodied and fit" is complete nonsense. I urge you to develop a higher level of baseline curiosity and respect for the lives of other people.
Metro Transit: "Post-2020 transit usage patterns no longer suggest a primary ridership base of downtown commuters."
Mayor Frey: "Bus lanes at peak 9-5 commute hours only :)"
Ewww, @stpaulsaints.bsky.social announced a Harry Potter theme night. Doing business with active bigot and Epstein associate J.K. Rowling certainly sends a message about the kind of fans you want. So much for my CHS field plans.
I really hate having a Republican Mayor
The City of Minneapolis, evicting 48 of the poorest families in its care, for a total of $30,144.
Shocked to learn that cops struggle to recognize beauty in the world around them.
Folks please delete your angry posts about Ilhan Omar's recent "quote". Mediaite is not a source that can be trusted.
One step closer to getting rid of it
How on Earth would walking the Mall convince one wasting it on parking is good, actually?
Guys, remember how excited we were in 2023 when Minnesota secured “generational” dedicated funding for transit?
Turns out the governor just wants to use that funding source as an ATM to replace budget cuts elsewhere.

I love how every level of government I'm subject to is simultaneously undertaking antidemocratic campaigns to concentrate power in an executive beholden primarily to wealthy interests.
More people should be talking about how fucking destructive Jacob Frey is.
He’s not only a do-nothing smug-ass mayor, he’s also willfully destroying any mechanisms where people other than his funders and patrons get a say in how the city works, makes decisions, or prioritizes values and budgets.
The author, Matt Hemsley is CEO of Piper Heartland Healthcare Capital and previously worked at McKinsey and Goldman Sachs.
In other words, part of the class of people bankrupting our society for their own benefit.
These are the last people we should be listening too. They are vile.
A sharrow—a pictogram of a bicycle with two chevrons over it painted on a road.
An assortment of boost pads in racing games, which all have a chevron shape in common.
I just think that if sharrows are gonna look like that, they should give you a speed boost when you ride your bike over them.
Man idk how to express how demoralizing it is to see people doing joke support for the Pope as the Catholic Church implements the most draconian trans healthcare ban anywhere in the US. It's a FULL ADULT TRANS HEALTHCARE BAN!!!THEY KEEP BUYING MORE HOSPITALS!!!!!!!
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
And then we can turn around and spend all those savings on gas and car repairs after the transit cuts make our buses and trains unreliable. Instead of putting the services average Minnesotans rely on in conflict with one another, let's tax the rich a little more and make life better for everyone.

Hi yeah so uh, what the hell?
What an incredible and timely demonstration of the importance of council’s confirmation authority.
Let the Charter Commission know how you feel about them trying to take that away.

Reminder that MNDoT is subsiding a $50M interchange at Hwy 36 and Lake Elmo Ave in Grant/ Lake Elmo with no zoning reforms while the inner metro governments squabbled for $93M for transit, roads, and bridges and face a $40M transit funding cut.
And exit the bus via the back door unless you can't do so safely! People here are so bad about that for some reason and it drives me crazy.
For a minute my Milwaukee ass was trying to figure out why you would take your cat to the drinking fountain.
The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.
Children’s Minnesota has announced resuming full services of the Gender Health Program effective immediately.
So happy about this news. Thank you.
Transportation politics is about dragging people kicking and screaming into change that results fairly quickly in a widespread consensus that we can't imagine going back to the way it was before.
The empty seats with the United Healthcare logo on the Twins broadcasts represent people who can't be at the game because their care was denied.
Thanks to today's wishcasting, I have this tune stuck in my head once again.
