I should have mentioned that my office is Minneapolis Elections & Voter Services. The Mayor's budget eliminates seven staff members less than two weeks before an anxiety-inducing midterm. No more high school election judge program. No more voter outreach.

Hello everyone, I am here to tell you that @christin-with-mpls.bsky.social has incredible financial skills, comes from a science/med tech background, and is great with budgets.

I worked one shift at the University Dining Hall at the U of MN freshman year and never went back (never went back to work, did go back to eat every day for the rest of the school year). The older kid, maybe a sophomore or junior, working there bet I wouldn't come back and he was right 🫠😂 it sucked

Yes, I AM a fair weather fan, thank you. But my Dad has been spamming my Dad + 5 sisters group chat with all the @milwaukeebrewers.bsky.social wins, so I'm jumping back on the bandwagon. Love my hometown Milwaukee 💛💙💛💙

Council Member Aisha Chughtai says, in terms of safety, autonomous vehicles do not solve what is fundamentally a street infrastructure problem.

Radical centrists will talk all day long about (disputably!) high teacher pay bankrupting MPS but will never talk about giant MPD raises bankrupting Mpls …

Calling all MPS Caregivers! Please take three minutes to complete this survey, available in English, Spanish and Somali.

A rushed and reckless plan to close 17 schools is the last thing our district needs right now. Our children are our everything, and they deserve a district that takes its time, engages with families, and builds a plan actually rooted in the needs of our community: not this.

Tonight’s presentation of the MPS Transformation Plan made one thing clear: we cannot move forward with these options. Rushing to close at least a dozen schools is irresponsible.

It genuinely blows my mind the degree to which people in power do not grasp (or just refuse to acknowledge) that encampments are preferable to shelters for a whole lot of people, for a long list of reasons.

Today at the fair I asked a volunteer at Amy Klobuchar's booth what Amy thinks about ICE and she stumbled through a non-answer before saying "I just don't want to tell you the wrong thing." IDK y'all I think not having any kind of platform is kinda bad! Her lawn signs don't even say she's a DFL'r!

Bucky's Super Video in Bay View, Milwaukee, WI. They had a little plastic playhouse right in the middle of the store that my sisters and I loved to play in.

Minneapolis, you can see the start of the Lunar Eclipse right now! #lunareclipse

A MN Legislator ask ppl to "make this a positive thing economically for Appleton, even if you don't agree with what's happening there." Is this not the epitome of selling one's soul? Absolutely abhorrent.

It’s a good day to get back on the train! As of this morning, Blue Line trains are again serving all stations. Thank you for your patience while we worked to Renew the Blue! 🚉

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

This guy explaining that the budget reflects our values and we value the cops 20 million dollars extra this year, but parks (who serve youth in many capacities) will lose millions. Who does he really value?

Many kids do not want to have a conversation with a stranger or acquaintance. Stop insisting on small talk with my kid/student, they aren't interested. Don't take it personally, it's good for kids to have boundaries.

Progressives: Make big wins or get really close in primary elections Moderate Dem Influencers: "You lefties don't know anything and here's why you need to listen to us" Can we just celebrate without the patronizing Moderates speaking down to us, just for like a few days?

Spouse on the DFL Senate primary results: “Angie Craig voted to open the door and let the bad guys in, and no matter how sorry she was, we weren’t gonna give her the keys again.”

You love to see it. Flanagan with 334k votes and Craig with 225k 🎉 I've been refreshing this page for an hour, and it's been a consistent difference of about 10,000 votes. I happily cackled to myself and my sleeping dog when I saw this. Congrats, @peggyflanagan.bsky.social

Senate primary here in MN tomorrow. Peggy Flanagan wants to dismantle ICE. Angie Craig supported a resolution thanking ICE for their service. Wants to reform ICE. Voted yes on Laken Riley Act, then said whoops. Given what’s happened here in 2026, it’s not all that complicated a choice.

The kids have nowhere else to go. Let them ride around on scooters for god's sake.
