A Minneapolis Ward 7 candidate looked at America in the Year 2025 & said, “What harm can there be putting a criminal citation for marijuana on someone’s record?” Parks commish Elizabeth Shaffer! I hope @katiecashman.bsky.social notes this relentlessly on her lit. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

Excellent! If you don’t want it to be the Minneapolis Parking and Recreation Board please support @michaelforparks.bsky.social (who I now realize I know) for at-large!

Shit. And I will add that it’s looking bleak for the good guys on the Park Board this election. Need a 5-person majority, but I only see 2 at-large & at best 2 of 6 districts with solid progressives (need more info on District 3). Find someone to take on Menz in District 1 (NE/SE) at least. 1/

Last week on Fox 9, Chief O’Hara claimed that he had been receiving updates on the Davis Moturi case every day for a period of two weeks. If that’s the case, why did he send an email the day after Moturi was shot asking simply, “Who is this guy?”

Hey Minneapolis Park district 1 in NE Minneapolis: Please ask your Commissioner Billy Menz to stick with the adopted long range plan for the Mall Park in Uptown. And anyone who is able, show up at tonight's 5pm park board meeting for public comment. www.minneapolisparks.org/about-us/lea...

YOU, Bluesky, have a chance to add greeenspace near Isles/Maka Ska by asking Commissioner Menz to withdraw his resolution. De-paving 2 blocks of Lagoon Mall’s north side is NOT a fire code issue. If you live in his NE/SE district you have OUTSIZED influence: vote.minneapolismn.gov/media/-www-c...

I’m only a solar homeowner, so I’ll leave it to renewable experts on whether zero net metering will die in Minnesota - but utilities are coming after it harder. California got rid of full retail-price reimbursement. This is a big reason I got a battery. www.startribune.com/minnesota-is...

I swear to God this happened tonight. I was surrounded by mets fans, and one of them said after the Jackie Robinson Day narration “wait, then who was Babe Ruth? I bet a lot of people get them mixed up”. THAT is why we need Jackie Robinson Day.

Please ignore the cat, I have to feed him in 15 minutes. I’m doing this because @cjzero.bsky.social can’t get the Mets feed.
