I am over here applauding this whole thread!!! Preach!!

I love that aunt! Tell her BlueSky says hi!

I have recently been mandated to drive to work (unnecessary for my job) and like, can we have smoke days?? Where it becomes normal for unnecessary driving to be canceled? (I work for the state, so MDH and MDoT should agree, right?)

like, do WE have to move?? 😩

I am actually going to Albert Lea on Saturday and have never been more thrilled?

Never not mad again, never not heart broken again, potentially my villain origin story.

I was just at Voyageurs and Isle Royale and there was a fair bit of indigenous content (picture books, mythology, nonfiction, etc). But who knows what tomorrow brings 🤷🏻‍♀️😩

As a mom, I am in Minneapolis parks almost daily, and lemme tell you, pictured here is the scariest thing we have encountered. 🪿

Okay but clearly @engy5150.bsky.social is the pro-labor candidate for park district 1.

Decent suggestions already! I’ll add Nighthawks and Reverie.

I’ve watched this an embarrassing number of times for the endorphins

Aster Cafe patio, Peace Garden, and Lakewood Cemetery (…and Loring Park and Powderhorn Park).

“The biggest disparities were in deaths from gun violence and traffic accidents; kids in the US were 15 times more likely than their counterparts in other countries to die by firearms and more than twice as likely to die in motor vehicle crashes.”

(land of the free? land of the under-regulated 😩)

the core idea that can radicalize people is so simple:

there is enough.

there is enough food to feed everyone. enough resources to house everyone. money and technology and medicine to stop the suffering of people around the globe.

once you accept that there's only one question:

why don't we?

Here's part of what Commissioner Conley had to say:

"We face a critical moment in our city in this election – we can choose a new path forward for our city. I know that Dr. Davis has the moral leadership and experience we need to build a Minneapolis we can be proud of."

(My heart will be broken forever by our loss)

“The portrait that emerges is of an unusual politician: She merely tolerated the spotlight, happily shared credit and accepted blame, eschewed higher office, and by all accounts was motivated chiefly by an interest in public policy, its details and how it could help as many Minnesotans as possible.”

Omg Andrea same. Highlights of my week so far: Mamdani and the addition of plantar fasciitis boots to my bedtime gear!

I have a BlueSky list that is solely people who live in Minnesota and I shit you not it is 75% about NYC right now.

Thanks for pushing hard for MAPE Mark. MAPE makes Minnesota better.

After two weeks away to attend my mother’s funeral, I am returning to Minneapolis and to our campaign more determined than ever to fight for a city that cares for all of us. Thank you for giving me the grace and space to step away to tend to my family and my grief.

I want my taxpayer dollars going into addressing housing and homelessness, education, environment, and helping make people’s lives more affordable.

Not wars. Not bombs. Not weapons.

Guns kill more US children than other causes, but state policies can help, study finds • Minnesota Reformer More American children and teens die from firearms than any other cause, but there are more deaths — and wider racial disparities — in states with more permissive gun policies, according to a new stud...

Hooray! 🎉

That and the encounter with the New Hope police. They really could still be here.

I think so, based on the fence/ornamental grass

good to be in spaces today where people understand her impact

Suspect showed few signs of political extremism before lawmaker shootings Friends and associates say Vance Boelter, who was apprehended late Sunday and charged with murdering a state lawmaker and her husband, was mild-mannered and did not appear to be fixated on politics.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."
