We at streets.mn are looking for new board members, ESPECIALLY those of you interested in cities/land use/transportation in Minnesota who have a lived experience different from most of our existing board (cis white men). We have 2+ social events coming up where you can chat with us and learn more!

Amazing US city ranking here... I have been telling and telling you people! (h/t @racketmn.com) zutobi.com/us/driver-gu...

Hennepin Co. neighbors: vote for CEDRICK FRAZIER aka @cedrickfrazier.bsky.social, NOT Anders Folk, who is a Republican - though he’s trying to hide it. Folk will of course support ICE in more murder and kidnapping. Cedric Frazier has promised to prosecute ICE. He’s the only choice!! Thank you.

A reminder that your business doesn’t need to do business with uline. Get your boxes elsewhere.

Anders Folk may not call himself a Republican when it’s convenient for votes, but Republicans know he’s a Republican.

It turns out punishing coup plotters actually is an effective deterrent!

Congratulations to Michele Tafoya on earning Donald Trump’s “Complete and Total Endorsement.” I’m sure you’re very proud.

For years we've been told the DSA is a menace — a threat to our very way of life — by the same Frey guys courting MAGA Republican support for their candidate for Hennepin county attorney.

“it would be really sad in this moment of minnesota did not defeat republicans up and down the ballot,” ilhan omar says minnesota is not interested in a “pedophile protection party, minnesota does not come after our refugees, we send one to congress.”

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Great thread. And a sober reminder that “centrist” Dems so often end up looking like standard-issue Republicans when they get power.

The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways. It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."

minneapolis residents can vote early today at the weisman art museum on the U of M campus, and peggy flanagan and keith ellison will also be on campus tonight for a GOTV event moderated by katie phang put on by courier luma.com/courier-6wnq...

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

between serbia, brazil, and hopefully november 3, a good reminder: voting works it’s not the end, there’s always work to be done after the vote, but if you want to beat the motherfuckers and keep them out of power: vote your asses off

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

imagine if a democratic candidate anywhere said something like this about a jewish candidate, would be a ten-alarm fire in every media outlet for days. but the literal president promoting this sort of insane bigotry against a muslim won't even merit a story

waymo representative sent to a city of minneapolis event can’t give a real answer about their vehicles utilizing bike lanes or not when this is a known PR issue for the company and we are one of the top biking cities in the country it’s talk of safety for the people inside the waymo only

Real cities kick out the cars

Important PSA!!

WhY dONt CyClIsTs JuSt UsE ThE rOaDs?? I don’t know man, why don’t CARS just use the roads?

Bike lanes

"No one bikes in Iowa"

New: Low-info voters, who put Trump in the White House, now look even more anti-Trump than high-info voters, and give Dems bigger margins on the generic ballot. 1 out of 3 Trump voters who can't name the party in charge of Congress now back Dems for 2026. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/poll-low-i...

Early voting is happening today at Powderhorn Park, 3400 15th Ave S, from 11am to 6pm.

The only thing drivers hate more than driving is the suggestion that sometimes they should not drive

Imagine if a certain mayor had bothered to do more than say the f word during a press conference and then called it a day.

@keithellison.bsky.social fights for us. Vote for him.

SOS NIMBYs will bankrupt us yet.

Look at all the failed businesses. This is the hell that you get when you remove cars.

I am very proud to have Ilhan Omar representing me in Congress.

“the auto task force thanks you for your cooperation”

This is how you do it. Frame automatic traffic cameras as a safety solution (which they are), and ignore drivers who get mad that they can no longer break the law with impunity.

people get hella mad when you suggest adult drivers should be more responsible than children walking/biking.

There’s been no bigger failure of the City of Minneapolis than its response to homelessness. It’s been abundantly clear since at least 2020 that trying to bulldoze people out of existence so you don’t have to bare the sight of them homeless in your neighborhood doesn’t solve the problem. 🧵

Jacob Frey can say all he wants about how moving buses off of Nicollet Mall will be good; but if he actually cared about transit riders and not just the Downtown Council, he'd be out on the streets listening to..................................transit riders.
