The Alex Pretti Memorial Bike Ride pedaled past our house this afternoon. Thousands of bikers. We stood outside for over a half hour chanting with and waving to the seemingly never-ending procession. At one point our dog started barking and howling and, you guys, THE BIKERS HOWLED BACK❤️🥹

If history has taught us anything, it's don't invade a place, brutalize and murder their neighbors, and expect to put any part of your body into their mouths without them chomping down.

It’s important that people:

1. Don’t let them bury their lies about Renee. Make them own that forever.

2. Focus on the administration’s lies about Alex, even if they aren’t being said by Vance and Trump.

I cried about boxes yesterday.

We needed 125 boxes for mutual aid work with less than 24 hours' notice & no budget.

We put an ask out to some neighbors and a caravan of helpers brought 125+ boxes to us yesterday (this is only a fraction of them).

Holy crap I’m glad you guys are okay!

Minneapolis City Council President Elliott Payne said he was assaulted by ICE on Central Avenue as he observed an arrest. An agent pushed him from behind, he said.

“This recklessness needs to stop,” he said. bit.ly/4jJcPfC

My partner @jasoncapsaicin.bsky.social made a step by step guide on how to break up ice in your neighborhood in Minnesota. Enjoy!

Kristi Noem must be impeached.

Regardless of who you are or what agency you work for, if you shoot or kill people in Minneapolis you need to be arrested immediately and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Full stop.

Brian and friend crouch with the keg in front of a bus shelter

Yesterday, I picked up an 8-gal keg and transported it via the bus! Our last bus driver was quite supportive of us 😆 Happy New Year!

They’d be pretty mobile in the skyways too ngl

My Home Depot keeps moving their bike rack eliminate it seasonally and I’m like wtf so I just roll it in.

That’s called multi-modal

sidewalk plowing in action in downtown minneapolis… let me drive it

An image by Alfred Twu comparing a variety of homes, up to 75' as studied by DLI for single egress to the MN state capitol, Duluth Old Central High School, the State Tree - the Red Pine, and other home types with a quote from Rep. Kozlowski which says "We thing about height (for more homes), 75 feet. That's a pine tree" coming from the state capitol. `

In 2024 we helped to pass a legislative study to prove what we already knew.
That 75' single egress buildings are safe, and the #MNleg should legalize them.
Today that report is now live! dli.mn.gov/sites/defaul...

Stats from the E Line opening event. First time Metro Transit has added three bus rapid transit lines in one year. They're ending 2025 with 15% more transit service than this time last year.

The president will be drawn and quartered in an Olive Garden parking lot by angry Americans.

ALSO: Cannabis should be legalized federally too.

Rock beats flex post.

I was talking with a city planner about this, and I totally agree with them that we need a car plan. We have the TAP, but not a plan for where the cars go. We need to tell car users, hey to visit downtown you go to ramps A/B/C to park and then walk or take transit. It’d be less stressful for all

Plus de 300 « rues aux écoles » dans Paris Expérimentées dans le cadre du déconfinement pour lutter contre la pollution, améliorer la qualité de l'air et végétaliser la ville, les « rues aux écoles » se multiplient à Paris. Ces piétonnisations...

Paris has achieved the goal of more than 300 “school streets”.

Lots of before & after pictures in this latest October 2025 update.

French toast and mimosas

Rainville cares more about valet zones than bike lanes and it really shows

Evidently @mayorfrey.com and @mndot.mn.gov have decided that permanent fencing will be installed early next week.

This is an attack on our active and public transit system and the citizens who rely on these connections. Curious what @metrotransitmn.bsky.social has to say about this...

Thank you to Jonathan's mom (not her real name) for staking out a position on Minnehaha Creek to capture today's Wedge LIVE Float Fest. It lived up to the hype. If you missed it, we're hoping to do another one in a few weeks.

Two photos of the Midtown Greenway. One is while it was still abandoned rail lines running under bridges, the image is bleak grays and browns. The other photo is of the greenway as a bike and pedestrian trail. The trail is crowded by bikers and walkers. The foliage around the trail is lush green.

Visionary changes can shift the course of what's possible in short order.

The Midtown Greenway pre-2000 vs modern day.

Car buyers will now be allowed write off up to $10,000/ year in interest paid on qualifying auto loans

Car drivers can still get over $3,500 in parking tax benefits too

But, bike commuters got their $240/year benefit cut

It's not about the budget, it's a preference & subsidy for people who drive

No like seriously it's the Tern front rack is a great table

🚨The North Carolina Legislature voted unanimously (107 to 0) to ban minimum parking requirements in new developments statewide.
