Minneapolis did burn down and is super dangerous with the criming. Stay in your suburbs and do not come here. Also, you do not want to have to contend with all the bike lanes.

There are people who still think the cities of Minneapolis and Portland got reduced to ashes by BLM.

This was not why he won the Nobel Peace Prize and I do not understand why white people do not get it. He won it for getting elected to the presidency as a Black man in the US. They gave MLK the prize for his civil rights activism and basically treated Obama’s election as civil rights activism.

One of the only things Trump has ever been right about: Obama had no business winning the Nobel Peace Prize for what amounted to the accomplishment of being a US president who was not George W Bush. (Remember, he had been in office for eight months at the time.)

No ND, I was told it featured CB, which I had not seen before but reinforced my decision not to watch it (assuming true)

Here’s my pitch to moderates: vote for Jazz

Wedge LIVE!™ @wedge.live · 1d

Dear moderates, I'm keeping it neutral and balanced, so that we can engage in a mild conversation about your choice for mayor.

Dear Minneapolis Moderates: A 2025 Election Open Letter » The Wedge Times-Picayune

Hello, True Blue Moderates. I knew you’d come. Let’s talk about Mayor Jacob Frey, the enigma. He’s a two-term mayor with a message suggesting he’s got a zero tolerance policy on encampments. Yet he…

The MMR vaccine is one of the most stunningly effective medical therapeutics in existence. It’s also safer than most of your everyday activities. This is simply an attempt to stop people from vaccinating.

HELLody SchreiBOO @melodyschreiber.com · 1d

The acting director of the CDC called for new, separate MMR shots. That would be "remarkably complicated, time-consuming, costly, but more importantly unnecessary," @jasonlschwartz.bsky.social told me:

Alarm as CDC calls for separate MMR vaccines despite measles outbreak

Concerns that three separate shots would be more costly and time-consuming, and keep kids from being vaccinated

To be fair, our city is full of “conservatives” still resting on their Wellstone support to deny their conservatism.

Minneapolis friends, it is really disturbing to me how many signs I see iin support of Becka Thompson. She is racist, thin-skinned, allergic to nuance and deep thinking, and has proved herself to be utterly ineffective and bullheaded on the Park Board. Why would she be any different on City Council?

Pioneer Press is looking for a cargo bike family in St. Paul that’s interested in letting them take some pics/ videos of the fam doing cargo bike stuff. The writer reaching out recently had an Urban Arrow demo, but I don’t think he’s picky about what bike the fam is using. Let me know if interested.

Paul is my argument against popularism! He won well to the left of voters because he connected with people and convinced them he cared.

Watching antisocial driver behavior in the school drop-off line makes it really clear that the pandemic destroyed whatever few shreds remained of the social compact, just pathological selfishness on display every day

It’s at the top. She’s running because we need more moderate voices like Wellstone and Sabo.

Can y’all please be on the lookout for my bike? Last seen in Elliot Park. It is a black Biria bike with red pedals and stickers of local news orgs on the bottom tube. It also has a Brooks saddle and adapters for Wolf Tooth pogies on the handlebars.

Biria bike with a sign that says “300 Campground”

I think people on the broad left need to stop getting in front of themselves like this and be able to trumpet a victory for people won by beating the fuck out of the GOP until they cave *as a victory for us and for Americans* rather than as a secret GOP win.

Kevin Collins @kwcollins.bsky.social · 1d

If Dems win the standoff and get their policy demands, yes they will have substantively helped millions of Americans (a good thing, to be clear), but also they will have kept Republicans from a self-inflicted wound in upcoming elections

Im going to assume she’s too young to know better, but no, Paul Wellstone was not a moderate

It should be a massive scandal if the president is communicating with cabinet members via social media private message. Are they preserving the required materials?

Brad Heath @bradheath.bsky.social · 1d

WSJ: President Trump believed his Truth Social post demanding prosecutions of James Comey and other political foes was a private message to his attorney general, and "and was surprised to learn it was public."

You’re right (of course). Forgot she is no longer in that role.

The public works director is a career politician with no subject matter expertise

Josh Martin @joshmartinmpls.bsky.social · 1d

Commissioners in favor of limiting confirmation further noted issues such as the appointment process impacting recruitment, clear lines of authority (“14 bosses”), and dept heads serving primarily as subject matter experts.
