wellstone was the first politician i ever got to volunteer for. people love to quote “we all do better when we all do better” but i try to live by this one: “If we don't fight hard enough for the things we stand for, at some point we have to recognize that we don't really stand for them.”

mRNA might be the most important technology ever developed. And the rubes want to kill it.

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!

I went to high school for a year in Senatobia, Miss. where 1 year old Kohen Wiley was murdered, and is now being denied justice. Nina Simone and so many others have been telling us for a long time. music.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ25...

For Fun And For Profit: CityNerd: https://streets.mn/2026/10/19/for-fun-and-for-profit-citynerd/ Today we're sitting down with Ray Delahanty to talk about his process and what gives him passion making videos as CityNerd!

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

Early voting had started in Minnesota. You know the mission.

Republicans siding with Putin--a cruel, murderous, vile dictator--over the Ukrainian people literally fighting to save their lives. This is so gross.

I proudly stand with my congresswoman, @ilhanmn.bsky.social I'm grateful for her talent, time, leadership and courage.

And join the rally on Tuesday!

No president should be weaponize the federal government against his enemies. Although Ilhan is not a DSA-endorsed candidate, she has fought for working people, supports Medicare for All, and called to abolish ICE. She has our back, and we have hers. Join us at 4PM today at Powderhorn Park!

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

When will the Trump/Epstein Files be completely released as Congress ordered? When will Trump be brought to justice for the heinous crimes he is accused of committing? When will the women--especially those he abused as children--get the justice they deserve? Why are Republicans protecting him?

Hype cannibalizes the accumulated expectations from past failures to make objects of hype appear plausible and attractive, writes Sun-ha Hong in the latest entry in The Hype Studies Series on Tech Policy Press.

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

A little man, a silly man--greedy barbarous and cruel.

I stand with our amazing Somali neighbors! Shame on that wretched, old fool.

I'm really sad to see the end of Hourcar in Minnesota. This was a really awesome service that benefited many. hourcar.org/news/sunset

Wow. Republican Congressman Pete Stauber CRASHES OUT after Trina Swanson quotes him calling Minnesota a failed state: “I’ve never said that” The only problem is he did say that. On video. Watch 👇

Woooo...

good morning moon, jupiter and minneapolis

Many companies believe that if you are completely satisfied with their service, then they are not charging enough. Give them no feedback or information with which to make those calculations or decisions.

Imagine how big of a twisted POS you have to be to sue to be able to keep abusing women by nudifying pictures of them. Tax this clown into obscurity.

This adopt a data center parody is on point. www.adoptadatacenter.org

A woman kidnapped by a group of masked men with no uniforms, no ID. Whether they are part of the fascist Republican regime or not, these little men are disgusting, cowardly criminals. This woman is not okay. There is no justice. Sent to a concentration camp? Chad's basement? Are we great yet?

BREAKING 📣 For several days, a peaceful protest took place in the morning, after a young child was killed by a car driver. The child was riding his bike to school, the father with him. The grieving community came together with hundreds of people, cyclist or not, creating a 3km long human bike lane.

Talarico: "Corrupt politicians are profiting off a corrupt war and Texans are literally paying the price ... this war in Iran is a disaster. It is killing Americans, driving up the price of gas and diesel, it is wrecking our moral standing around the world. And it must end."

Because an existential challenge for humanity is for more engineers to shift from asking "How can we?" to "Should we?" As a reminder, engineers (and I am an engineer) made every gas chamber, poison and bomb ever made. That's why engineers need to study the stories of our collective past.

I think about the generations of investments Minnesotans have made in people, education, facilities, processes and technology to have the best hospital in the world. It's extraordinary, and says a lot about the people and values of this state.

I wonder how many children go without braces, music lessons or college funds because their fathers waste hundreds of thousands of dollars on ridiculous trucks and guns to hide their frail egos

Same.

More than 2,500 library champions spoke up. Because of you, our County Commissioners saw how important our libraries are to you and your neighbors. Thanks to you, our libraries will stay strong in the year ahead, ensuring these vital spaces remain accessible for all.

These dangerous robots should never be allowed on our streets.

Would you be excited for this keynote? Showing Up When the World Is on Fire What do we treat a crisis like a crisis without living our entire lives in emergency mode? What happens when communities stop waiting for permission and start taking care of one another?

Nine ways to get the most out of your Hennepin County Library card

My argument is simple; our parks are worth it. In the last few years our park levy has been consistently under what we need to fully function. This led to rec center cuts. We are facing cuts again, while the city has been far less fiscally prudent. Gift link: www.startribune.com/mpls-green-s...

The clown-president is really afraid of the American people holding him accountable for his many crimes and failures: - at the ballot box - in court - in history

Trump destroys everything he touches. It is like the Meidas touch, but instead of gold, everything he touches turns to shit.

I hope someday soon my alma mater, Texas A&M, will learn that it is immoral and disgraceful to honor racists, murderers and fascists like Greg Abbott, Pete Hegseth and Sul Ross.

Remember the time Republicans took $1 billion in cash from oil company owners in exchange for favorable treatment. The immoral war in Iran has raised the price of oil by roughly 50%, shoveling hundreds of billions of dollars of Americans' money into profits for those same oil company owners.

Public streets are public infrastructure, not a testing ground for private technology companies that will take jobs from Minnesota workers and undercut our progress towards a more safe, accessible, and equitable transportation system.
