I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

I do gotta say that if anyone had told teenage me that someday I would be prepared to personally bail out an entire high school but the woman who made The Matrix did it instead I would definitely have been like β€œok somebody needs their meds adjusted”

What an absolute real one. Thank you, Lilly 😭

The 6th St facing side of Treasure Island Center in St. Paul has to be up there. Bonus points for possibly the oddest bike rack placement in the whole city.

What Elon Has Done Elon Musk's destruction of USAID has faded from public consciousness in America, despite leaving death and destruction in its wake.

"the largest act of mass murder of this decade, and of this century so far, was not perpetrated by militaries or militias, but by the world's richest man in Washington D.C.'s Eisenhower Executive Office Building."

I think the Minneapolis version of the corduroy jacket should just say in big, bold letters, "Public Works is my alley captain".

We used to be a proper country that hosted dog sled races in the middle of city streets. Now we just have gross car sewers.

a quote from a person who thinks Minnesota is "too woke", but swears they are a "democrat"

Interesting quote from @axios.com Minnesota this morning from Warren who abandoned Minnesota. I'm curious to know just how much social security income this person gets if they claim to be saving $15,000/yr in taxes compared to a *partial* exemption, given that our top tax bracket is less than 10%.

I spent a bunch of the Olympics trying to convince myself it's ok if Americans win things because the athletes aren't the politicians but then Kash Patel parties in the locker room and the White House does this

This has always been one of my thoughts about the benefits of bike commuting and my personal brand of stoicism. Basically, you're microdosing discomfort, helping to inoculate yourself from the bigger challenges and discomforts you might face in other parts of life. Sweat a bit now, succeed later.

Any car that hasn't moved in the period between the last storm ending and the next storm beginning should immediately be towed, stripped of hazardous materials, and dumped into the Atlantic Ocean to become artificial reefs like they do with old subway cars.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

The level of anger normal Minnesota people have at their elected representatives is palpable. It's not about party, but the perceived failure of local/state electeds to do anything of substance to protect residents who pay their taxes and get left facing off alone against masked, armed men.

Pritzker demands a $1,700 refund per family for the people of Illinois after Trump's tariffs were ruled unconstitutional.

Dems, pay attention. This is your midterms message.
