Urging my fellow Minnesotans to do one simple thing. Step outside. Take a photo of your block. Post it on your social media with this tag: #where’stheinsurrection?

Despite skies that ranged from blue to threatening, Open Streets Uptown was a great place to meet voters, part of 8–/2 hours of campaigning todayβ€”so far!

I’ll wager that I’m the only candidate out hustling votes tonight in Mpls with two broken ribs, courtesy of yesterday’s hit-and-run encounter between my bike and an SUV. At the League of Women Voters mayoral forum at the downtown library.

Big trees falling in journo ranks. Public media’s Nancy Cassutt and Strib’s Mike Kaszuba last week, and PiPress’s Bill Salisbury last night.

Depends on whether you mean DSA-endorsed or voting with them. I think they can must as many as nine on some override votes but usually eight, which is one short for a veto override, which is why the proposed Labor Standards Board failed, as I recall.

According to one of them, neither the mayor of Mpls nor any CMs were on the target list.

Hard to realize that both of the chamber leaders who fostered the landmark 2023 sessionβ€”Melissa Hortman and Kari Dziedzicβ€”are no longer with us.

Soren Stevenson wins first-ballot endorsement in Mpls Ward 8, increasing chances of DSA increasing its margin on Council. Josh Bassais likely to continue his campaign.

Linea Palmisano DFL endorsed by acclamation in Ward 13 and Elliott Payne with an 82 % first-ballot win in Ward 1.

Spectacular cloud lightning right now just east of my corner of the South Side!

Lynda and I walked the fabulous Wood Lake Nature Center today before tree-felling and construction start on a new building. The geese are back but not the red-winged blackbirdsβ€”my personal indicator of when spring is here.

Ironically, while we were holding anti-Elon and anti-Trump signs on the freeway overpass last week, a Tesla was the middle car in a three-car chain collision.

I wish that everyone who is exclaiming about 3-14 being Pi(e) Day would tune into how easy it is to make a pie from scratch, especially since the addition of the food processor to the making of a pie crust. It’s as easy as, well, pie. Then every day would be Pie Day!

It’s only March but I managed to incur my first case of road rash of this year’s biking season yesterday.

Enough with the cheesy mayonnaise hype detracting from the Duke’s Mayo Bowl already.
