I’m not taking any f*ing chances. We need to campaign hard and get out every voter we can. We all remember what happened last time the quants told us not to worry because it was statistically improbable.

Historians will study this era. A whole crop of PhDs will try to explain why we thought putting ground, granulated rice or rice crispies on roasted vegetables made them fancy. I may not see this damage undone in my lifetime.

I get steamed about this kind of crap. These bridges and sidewalks are bare minimum mobility for people screwed by freeway infrastructure. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

minnpost.comUsing fencing to curb homelessness in the Twin Cities is an insultAgencies and governments turn to fencing instead of actual solutions for problems related to people experiencing homelessness.

Prediction: having closed the 24th St bridge some of the homeless people will move down to the Sabo bridge, which is an even more important link (I'll be happy to be wrong, and there's no easy answers to this problem)

Portland bar and club managers talk about "It" happening like medieval Europeans talked about Prester John. Times are bleak now, lads, but one elderly man's failing organs are all that stand between us and 150 million Americans launching a drinking binge.

Imma go to the office tomorrow, wear gradient shades all day, and suggest I don’t value human life. We’ll see how it goes.

Dear neighbor, I am frustrated, though unsurprised, to hear that an unelected, undemocratic body—unaccountable to voters—is considering a charter amendment to strip the public of an important role they hold in their government. 1/

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

I’m excited to speak at the South by Southwest (SXSW) conference tomorrow in Austin, Texas. This session will be called “Defending Democracy: How Cities Rise Up When Feds Push Down."

I’m always pleasantly surprised when I get a like or follow on Bluesky. I spend some time on Instagram and it’s all bots. But here it’s like “oh, that’s a real person. And they seem pretty cool.”

Interesting.

Chavez: in last 3 months since your comments, MPD hasn't witnessed a single unlawful use of force against anyone in Minneapolis? O'Hara: There is no incident where it would've been possible for an officer to intervene. If there's any incident specifically we're happy to review that.

I see a spaceship with faster than light capabilities and extensive bike parking. I like it.

Beneath Berlin's Potsdamer Platz, an overlooked retail strip has been reborn as a bicycle parking facility and public passage connecting users to the S-Bahn station. Modest in scale but rich in possibilities, it integrates seamlessly into the revitalised entertainment, commercial and office centre.🧵

We know that 4more children from Liam's school are still in ICE custody in TX. But we still do not know how many children from MN in total have been detained by ICE.

👇 This was posted in response to USA Today’s lousy headline that said that Gov Walz was criticized for comparing the situation some Minnesota children are facing to Ann Frank’s.

Every day, but especially on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we're reminded of the systemic racism that plagues every part of the U.S. criminal legal system – from arrest to sentencing and even reentry. Here's what the data shows 🧵

This is important.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
