President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came from behind to win Brazil’s runoff election, halting a right-wing wave sweeping Latin America and defying predictions that the 80-year-old political veteran had finally reached the end of his extraordinary career. bloom.bg/4BsvV24 📷: Maira Erlich/Bloomberg

You may have heard about some undelivered ballots that were recently found in a dumpster. Here’s a thread of what you need to know.

City Skylines was released in 2015. The American YIMBY movement began making serious gains in the mid 2010s. In this essay I will....

Literally where has she been these last couple years while Trump's goons have been in the streets? She wants to lead this country but can't even lead a rally.

President Xi my country, Minnesota, yearns for freedom! For real tho, fuck these dirty fascists. You have wasted your only life on hate and lonliness

If your country needs an election to put the most powerful people in jail then I have news for you, you don't live in a democracy.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'll believe that fuel is too expensive when I don't routinely see people parked up in their cars with the engine running.

If people are already thinking this team reps Atlantic City, you've done bad branding. Also, stop trying to make Atlanta happen, it sucks

Your regular reminder that the bloated police budget takes money away from habitat restoration, tree planting, new park construction, stormwater mgmt, new bike lanes, transit, libraries, creation of a transformative green youth corps, schools, sidewalks, rental assistance, EDI and on and on forever

I have criticisms of Mayor Wilson and think we should abolish SPD. But this proposed budget is not a cop budget, if anything it fulfills our legal obligations per SPOG contract and stagnates funding. The City Council will be the ones to increase SPD funding

Such a massive win

I remember before Woke, you could ride 18mph+ on a Lime Scooter. Now you can barely hit 15mph. Cuz of Woke

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art

Until our neighborhoods are detached from car-dependance, I will not complain about kids using ebikes, motos, or scooters

Good. This is normal. Stop clutching pearls over a fucking scooter

Would absolutely change my everyday life in a positive way

We should have this on a Welcome to Ballard sign

"'A bicycle?' Amos leaned on the breakfast bar. 'Sure. They don't need fuel, they don't get sick. Most of the repairs, you can handle on your own. You're looking for post-apocalyptic transportation, bikes are the way to go.'" -The Expanse, by S.A. Corey

I'm halfway through The Fountainhead as a challenge to my worldview. But yeah, Ayn Rand is psychotic and her worldview is uninspiring. These "heroes" are sociopaths

Looks like Aurora is getting light rail before Ballard :(

From the very beginning, she’s been part of the Minnesota Aurora family! Now, she’s taking the next step. 🇷🇸✨ Congratulations on signing your first professional contract in Serbia! We couldn’t be prouder. Go make your mark! 🌟

The BRT network in the Twin Cities is one of the better systems I've ridden. Metro Transit punches far above it's weight

FIFA president Gianni Infantino's leadership has become "radioactive" and his 10-year reign as head of world football "is over", says a former head of IOC marketing u.afp.com/SHoJ

Your local park is lacking tree coverage and your home's road is potholed because SPD takes everything and gives nothing in return.

States should continue asserting their sovereignty

I can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.

The political double standard from U.S. media that Mayor Wilson can delay a press conference and face a week+ of severe backlash questioning her competency while Trump actively blames a U.S. state for civic infrastructure cyberattacks and it’ll be old news in 8 hours… it’ll make your head spin.

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Huge news coming from Seattle. Environmental laws have been weaponized against the environment for too long

And look at that star ⭐️ ‼️ #SalmonBayFC | #FeelTheCurrent

Incredible news. Progress over stagnation!

When the devil defies odds, do not celebrate. The magnitude of malice may be awe inspiring, but all it serves is to entrance. Lucifer, in his beauty, is as alluring as he is deadly. Do not trust in his benevolence, fear his conquest.

Alright, nobody asked, and this has the potential to be offensive but here it is: you've got to create and stoke deeply partisan rivalries based on identity, all the things American soccer wants to avoid.

Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of my dear friend Satan, the Prince of Lies. Though we often disagreed about matters such as the appropriate role of torture in the afterlife, I will most remember how his quick wit and affable nature made our weekly golf outings a ritual. He will be missed.

Reffing was wack, but otherwise an incredible game between two giants. Congrats to @mnaurorafc.bsky.social for continuing their 5 year unbeaten record in the regular season and to @salmonbayfc.bsky.social for moving onto the Finals. Up the Bridges!

As a @mnaurorafc.bsky.social community owner and a @salmonbayfc.bsky.social local supporter, I just hope both teams have fun :)

It is insane how many people bike in Seattle in spite of our backwards policies and barebones infrastructure

Urbanists, do I still get car-free lifestyle cred if I get a 49cc scooter?

Mainer, first, foremost, and forever. But I also take pride my former Minneapolitan and current Seattleite identities.

Good. Alabama should influence my civil liberties as much as Papua New Guinea

Tourists are spending time, making memories, and appreciating "hellhole Demonrat" cities. They're not waiting in a drive-through for processed food

The Ballard Town Square must be made permanent

Bus emission concern is the absolute biggest waste of time

Ballard neighborhood watch party checking in! #Fifaworldcup #seattlesports
