Not worth backing for more than the 20 minutes he was there, though!

The goal is to have no encampments. But until the city funds housing-first solutions, they're inevitable. Frey's encampment sweeps don't work. He isn't solving homelessness, he's wasting valuable resources. Everyone deserves a dignified path to housing, not a fenced off sidewalk.

Opinion | We should be listening to the kids on gun control Two teachers share why some of their students participated in school walkouts for gun reform after the Annunciation Catholic Church shooting in Minneapolis.

Great op-ed from my colleagues about JPS students walking out on Friday.

And the girl to the left on him was in my bike group from this summer and was one of the ones I quoted in the thread I kept throughout the summer!

At noon today, Charli, front and center, joined 12 of his 7th grade classmates and walked out of my classroom to march for change. So proud of this kid and all the other hundreds of our students with him. <3

116 rifle casings were found at Annunciation. 116!

Weapons designed for war don’t belong in our communities.

The choice b/t kids’ lives & weapons of war is clear. It’s time to ban automatic weapons and high capacity magazines.

A friend just texted me this 😂. This was 9 years ago! Still remember that night, though. It was a great night!

I love riding by your place and seeing that Fateh sign!

Campaign literature for CM Aurin Chowdhury and Omar Fateh. They're both endorsed by SEIU, Take Action MN, Sunrise Twin Cities and a bunch of great elected officials!

Door-knocking in S Mpls!! My husband @justkozz.bsky.social and I strongly endorse @aurinmpls.bsky.social for City Council and @omarfatehmn.com for Mayor of Minneapolis! We're working class parents who want safe streets, great public schools & robust public transportation.

Well this very cool sign was delivered to school today!

Maybe it really is time for that MPLS DFL Behind the Bastards podcast

Hardly anything could be dirtier & grimier than a relatively small group, hundreds of city residents, gathering in an auditorium to decide a local DFL endorsement. Except a committee of outstate bigwigs overturning that endorsement bc their guy needed it bad. That seems dirtier.

This is the first time I’ve ever questioned my party affiliation. Hmm.

Hope to swing by for a bit!

The hearing today was the culmination of a 4.5 assault on the connective tissue of the DFL in Mpls, to prevent exactly the eventuality that happened, Frey losing the DFL endorsement.

It was full spectrum domination aimed at eliminating any avenue of power building against downtown money.

Has mpls done any studies yet?

Hennepin County’s proposed layout for Lyndale Avenue S. falls short.

It’s not a people-first design. It’s a decorated, street-level parking lot, dusted with the occasional confetti of mode shift virtue signals.

No protected bikeways, 24/7 bus lanes, or green space throughout the entire corridor.

always snow removal, whether it makes sense or not

has anyone ever addressed why we've never used the double curb model (no idea if it has an actual name) that we see in many european cities? where there's a curb between the sidewalk and bike path as well as the bike path and the street?I feel like that would have been better for Bryant

Very curious about what bikelash looks like and what its influence looks like in the Netherlands vs. over here

When did ed reformers first start covering schools for them?

Yeah! Super summer at JPS

The summer ended and was a fantastic one at that. My next goal is to not miss doing something for the next walk, bike, and roll to school event (October 8) as I have every year of my 15 years in MPS.

This is gold. "Trumpian in nature" is piggybacking off decades of rightwing red-baiting now used tenfold by Trump. This is a total embrace of Trumpian tactics. Wealthy dems are moving further and further to the right every day. Demonizing and scapegoating as the primary path to victory IS Trump

what rock has Zach Wefel been hiding under all these years

8. Stopped at light on Bryant, driver passing us stops at intersection, rolls window down and says "thank you for stopping. 99% of people riding there bikes here don't stop". I bit my tongue and just said "Okay". After the driver drove away the kid behind me goes "Thanks, Karen" 🙂🙃

7. 12 yo qotd - "Ahhh, back on Bryant. So smooth. So chill."

Said kid also said she will go from her home on Lyndale to Bryant then backtrack to cross over Lyndale on her way to school. Awesome points for Byrant, but also, what can we do to make her ride to school safe without having to backtrack?

YES. I don’t know this family personally (yet) but I love them and what they do for our community and am pumped to teach their kids when they get to middle school. Thanks for advocating for our awesome public schools!

Blaming people who blame other people is just blaming other people. This post just describes what you do with half of your life. Trying to win petty political feuds.
