When will we get reflective paint on Minneapolis roads? I have excellent vision and as soon as the roads get wet, I can’t see one single line for shit.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

“I hope that people can see that even if you don’t have kids in our district, our well-being is connected...Having a strong public school district has incredible dividends in so many other spaces…this is a great place for us to be investing.” Thank you Becky Dernbach & @sahanjournal.bsky.social

this is decent, but we really just need to ban right turns on red lights in minneapolis entirely. they're equally unsafe for pedestrians at every intersection

Mamdani hosted Boy Throb at City Hall. I cannot stand how online this man is and how well he speaks Hindi 😭

Study: When Minneapolis clears a homeless encampment, the surrounding area experiences a sharp uptick in drug overdoses for several days afterward New research findings shared with @axios.com >> www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

shoutout to the caregiver taking a little boy for a dramatic stomp around our building to work off his grumpy mood :)

democrats will throw you under the bus and then get mad at you for not being on the bus

Looks like Emerson and Lagoon by Cub and Planned Parenthood is getting a bus shelter.

Feeling the sharp sting of needing to reengage with fellow community defenders who spent the last six months reinforcing my and my loved ones’ disposability, all while celebrating their heroism in saving us.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

The building connected to MN Chippewa Tribe office went up in flames, collapsed ceiling. Reports of fire jumping to MCT bldg. HIGHLY toxic fumes. Mask up, check on your people. Dakota archives are in the bldg. Damage is huge but unknown.

Got rear ended pretty hard yesterday on Lyndale. Everyone was okay, thankfully, but my whole body hurts today. I’ve always been a careful driver (and cyclist and pedestrian) but wow does this put into perspective the raw force that cars inflict on everyone who isn’t in a cushioned metal box.

Agreed. For too long, electeds at all levels have coasted on good intentions and vibes, thinking they suffice for a grand vision for the future, necessary public investment, or the courage to go to bat for anything but private car ownership, highways, and incoherent transit lines.

Twenty people were flown out of Minneapolis by ICE today. If you may have had a loved on board, full footage can be seen here: youtube.com/watch?v=xYA0I6s7fKw

why would this happen to him, a simple dog who merely wants to lick his wounds for 23 hours a day

How did yall get your POTS diagnosed? I’m struggling with inconsistent bouts of nearly fainting when I change positions. Last year, my primary care doctor did a half assed “test” on a good day and wrote me off.

I’m being intentionally provoked by a Midwesterner

Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire is quietly shooting a pro-ICE movie that dramatizes the Renee Good killing. We got the script. My latest False Flag for @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/daily-wire...

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

I desperately need my dog to stop trying to kill himself. Still working hard to avoid a third surgery but gosh is he making things difficult.

I’m sorry, but if you bring gypsum - or any damn mineral below 3 on the Mohs scale at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.

Dear neighbor, I wanted to let you know that I am co-authoring the Workers Drive Minneapolis ordinance with Council Members @robin4mpls.bsky.social, Osman, and @aurinmpls.bsky.social. 1/ www.startribune.com/driverless-c...

Tall people, your short friends don’t want to share an umbrella with you. I appreciate the offer to hold it vaguely above me but I’m drenched

Someone check on Jacob Frey today. Rough way to learn you’re not in the main group chat.

You can be in the right lane on an empty road and a Minnesota driver will show up to tailgate you for 15 mins, pass at 1 mph faster, then merge back in with a 10 foot gap

ben schneider going undercover to document heinous child abuse at a psychiatric incarceration facility in utah is exactly the sort of thing we need from able-bodied white men with huge platforms and media skills

if you had no children and a lot of space in a shaded backyard with way too many acorns, what would you build?

This Strib story is grotesque. It doesn't just impose their familiar landlord/property-management frame here; it reorganizes the hierarchy of harm around it. A shooting rooted in domestic violence is transformed into a "Real Estate" story about the “dangers” facing landlords and property managers.

Hi folks. Do you have any idea how isolating it is to be trapped behind bars? I know writing an anarchist prisoner is psychologically off-putting because what would you even say and it takes multiple steps (stamps, an envelope, etc) away from your computer. But PLEASE. I can make it easy for you:

shout out to everyone also having a bad tuesday

still thinking about this one

this afternoon, the line for crop art was a full hour long but it was so worth it ❣️ feeling a lot of gratitude for such heartfelt offerings

guessing the minneapolis cop andrew dubuc who was sending fist bump emojis to jake lang's crew is actually deitan dubuc, former professional canadian football player from quebec who joined police department in 2017 & is a familiar face if you spend time downtown also for his off-duty security work

Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black. Thousands have been without power for nearly two weeks. Many are without safe water. Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water. This is what oligarchy looks like. Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit seeking to compel Minnesota to provide access to its statewide voter registration data. Another victory for my firm and our clients. DOJ is now 0-23. ELG is undefeated. www.democracydocket.com/cases/minnes...

Wow. Proponents of the ICE taser gloves are openly saying that one reason they love the gloves is that they doesn’t leave any marks or proof that they were used, making it harder for people to sue when they’re shocked excessively.

niche short people issue: lever door handles constantly getting stuck in your sleeves

this is very, very bad

one of the perks of being in your 30s is that no one expects you to remember what stage of med school they’re in

good threat modeling is important because my dog currently believes he cannot poop if there are sparrows nearby
