I wrote about my frustrations with the police chief pretending he hasn't been given a blank check. And how we seem to have forgotten that we changed the government structure to draw clear lines of authority from the mayor to almost everything.

With Connolly's death, six House Democrats have died in office in the past 13 months. Democrats die in office at twice the rate of Republicans: of the 45 members of Congress who have died in office since the year 2000, 30 have been Democrats. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

I am beyond frustrated by the undoing of all of the great transportation policies that were passed in 2023. That this is even on the table for negotiation is devastating. @senatedfl.bsky.social @epmurphymn.bsky.social www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

I cannot fucking believe we have to say this but no Democrat should be voting for a free pass for the crypto industry while Donald Trump is collecting literally billions in crypto bribes

Can anyone tell me what #mnleg is doing this session that is a positive? They are continually undoing all the good things they accomplished in 2023. www.trains.com/trn/news-rev...

there is a contingent of Hogg haters on here who repeatedly refer to him as "elite and entitled" and I just want to ask which school shooting they survived the people he's trying to get rid of are the very ones who value their own power over Democrats winning elections (and vice versa, now)

these fuckers continue to cling to the Carville and Axelrod electoral worldview and serve corporate overlords (while ignoring a genocide and betraying trans people) -- absolutely revolting but not a bit surprising. White boomer centrist dems are the death of us all

100% feeling this. And it’s been seeping into my non-“online” life. For example, i’ve been trying to take daily walks and I end up just getting pissed at all the people in their cars. I genuinely do not know how to end this cycle but life is just way too heavy right now.

NYC’s congestion pricing is a policy miracle: Less traffic, less noise, faster transit, more business sales, more transit revenue. And it hasn’t produced the negative effects outside the cordon zone we were afraid of. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

We gotta ban cars on the parkway. So many bikers and pedestrians crammed up onto the side on this beautiful day just so rich bastards can joy ride in their convertibles. Parkways are for people!

We are not under invasion. There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights. Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.

Considering that "who's the boss??" was the political diversion in the city election of 2021, and we changed our whole government structure because of it, I can't believe this has to be said in 2025. A story about an executive branch scandal should identify the mayor as the boss!

If you donate to Republican candidates… And almost a third of your donors are Republicans… And you’re anti-labor and pro-criminalizing marijuana… Should you be running for the DFL endorsement? These are good questions for Elizabeth Shaffer ahead of Saturday’s Ward 7 convention.

I had such a great time with the kids on the bike bus this morning but after this “full rack, full heart” moment, I am gutted to hear about multiple accidents today on Bike to School Day. I need y’all to show up and demand protected infrastructure for kids wherever you are. It’s past time to start

It's walk/bike/roll to school day. I just heard from a friend that a middle schooler on a bike was hit by a driver at 41st Ave & 42nd St on their ride to school this morning - no updates yet on the kids' condition. Neighbors have been asking the city for traffic calming there for years. 1/2
