If you’re concerned about “health & safety” this isn’t it. Medical, public health, & harm reduction experts know this. If you’re concerned w/maintaining neoliberalism’s respectability politics, protecting capital, & keeping white liberals comfy, you’re nailing it. You’re also accomplice to murder.

It's neat how this happens across the US, possibly thousands of times per day, yet all of the moral outrage and concern is over ebikes, bikes on sidewalks, scooters, and pedestrians wearing headphones.

if I am mysteriously murdered I am not coming back as a ghost to impart any poignant life lessons from beyond the grave, I am coming back to scream the name and current location of my murderer to literally everyone I know. want advice from beyond the veil of shadows? earn it

hey great point asshole, unfortunately i have already cast myself as narrator of the acclaimed documentary about these events, and just stated “this smug overconfidence would prove tragically ironic in short order” as your face began fading to monochrome

To pay someone $19 an hour after they have spent two decades in an extremely difficult job taking care of developmentally disabled people is just a moral atrocity. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/less-than-...

"maybe once a year I get someone buying flowers from me and they take a bike" Yeah because you've threatened us. You've sprayed us with water. You've called us names. We still buy fresh flowers, we just go to the other shops within a mile or so. Gardenia. Fleurs de Lee. All bike friendly peeps!

At this point it’ll be quicker to list the businesses on Henn/Lyndale I *won’t* boycott bc they hate cyclists

Manny, owns the running store on Hennepin, says he owns 3 bikes but he has elderly clients who can't find parking.

The city’s own data shows 2/3 of Minneapolis resident bike for some trips each year. And literally 5 people have already messaged me in the last week asking for advice on e-bikes & e cargo bikes. We are not the 1%.

Reading the laundry list of O'Hara's bad behavior--including romantic relationships with at least three female subordinates, temper tantrums, witness tampering....and yet, Frey still nominates him for another term?!?!? The bigger story is Frey's failure as the elected solely responsible for police.

Investigations and new evidence: What led to Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara’s downfall

City officials quietly reopened a sexual misconduct investigation into O’Hara after a department whistleblower emerged with new evidence of interference.

The meanings of political labels change over time, so there's no one term that describes this in an historically useful way, but for 150 years there have been those who care about working people and want to improve their lives, but will do all they can to prevent those workers from having power.

Dude will give u this pablum but all his political arm does is vilify anyone demanding actual police accountability. (I know this from personal experience) Frey doesn’t bravely confront painful truths, he attacks painful truth tellers.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey@mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Today, we remember George Floyd, who was murdered by a former Minneapolis police officer six years ago.   That moment changed our city forever. It forced Minneapolis to confront painful truths about race, policing, inequity, and trust — and demanded hard conversations and accountability.

Today marks six years since George Floyd was murdered by the Minneapolis Police Department. A day that changed our city, our country, and the lives of so many forever. Today is a day for grief, rage, reflection, and remembrance. George Floyd should still be alive.

Minneapolis People's Pride is just over 15% of it's $20k fundraising needs in order to put on a successful event in just over one month from right now. Please consider supporting this event that many people look forward to all year as a community-led Pride event. www.mplspeoplespride.com/donate
