A photo of Sen Hoffman watching his daughter Hope speak at Disability Visibility Day at the Capitol. You can see the love between them on his face. Hope is the reason more people were not gunned down yesterday. She’s a force in the disability community and a hero to our state.

This is a GoFundMe to support the recovery of Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette after the shooting yesterday. It was created by the PTO at the school where Yvette works. Please share and give if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/support-yv...

There is national news here and they are all shouting over each other. Locally, we usually quietly wait for each other.

It’s like the first Wednesday of the month. I’m clicking like to everything. I’m very relieved and hoping a lot of people can rest tonight.

i have friends in the legislature and this is what I keep thinking about. That man had plans, and my friends may have been among them.

I foolishly told myself for awhile that I didn't really need a cargo bike because I don't have kids. But I finally realized that wasn't true at all and use mine so much for so many different situations, even just riding for fun because the Bullitt is a completely awesome bike.

Cargo bikes are for everyone! At an event today someone asked “what would people who don’t have kids even use a cargo bike for?” For hauling stuff &/or people, just like parents do! We originally got a cargo bike to haul our kids, but we use it to transport other stuff every single week. 1/2

This median sign (between a general traffic lane & protected bikelane) has been hit *at least* a dozen times since it was installed 2.5 years ago. What does that tell you about the safety of this intersection - for peds, bicyclists and drivers?

You know you're doing work to be proud of when you spend mountains of money on a new PAC over a couple months; trash it like a disposable wrapper; start a new PAC with the same purpose, same people, same cancer causing ingredients, but with a fresh new name.

It’s been 28 hours since the assassin was photographed in Minneapolis. It’s been 24 hours since a Bearcat punched into a N Mpls house connected to this man. Nothing from the mayor in 22 hours. Nothing from the Chief, or Public Safety Commissioner. WHERE IS OUR CITY LEADERSHIP?

There’s going to be so much spent on this municipal election. The wealthiest people in Minneapolis and the suburbs will be financing it because they can’t control the City Council. We can combat this if we’re organized. We need help calling, knocking, and talking to neighbors around the city.

I am a little obsessed with our new key management solution, courtesy of @nissamitchell.com . 5/6 of these carabiners are for bikes, 1/6 is for our car.

I keep thinking about why big newsworthy things keep happening here and I do think that our status as a trans refuge state and an abortion rights state has a lot to do with it. That historic session that improved things for so many is why they hate us.

This person clearly thought Mormon missionaries are cooler than they are—I was wearing a low cut top and a pleather jacket. @lauragmitchell.com was wearing black Ripton overalls.

Last night @nissamitchell.com & I were riding matching e-bikes on our date, headed to dinner. Someone we passed shouted “Are ya’ll Mormons?” I laughed & said “definitely not.” Like… we’re the exact opposite of Mormons on bikes.

Adding: Hoffman entered public service because he could not get health insurance for Holly, now in her 20s, who was born with a disability and is now an amputee. He’s a relentless advocate. This morning his wife threw herself on Holly and was shot in her stead. MN disability community in shock.
