My bike fell, I think just off balance, & the rear tire blew. I can feasibly still get on the light rail, but I can't get from there to Wabun on my own & IDK that anybody can fix it on the spot even if they get to 46th st station

I'm going to cry. No flats all season. Loading up & about to hop on the LRT to 46th st + bike from there to wabun & my REAR tire (on my ebike) went out This usually has to be taken into a shop bc of the motor situation. I don't think I'll be able to ride today.

I'm getting bottom surgery on December 9, two months from today!!! I've started a GoFundMe to help with recovery costs (including travel costs for my girlfriend, who'll be my primary caregiver during that time, and general living costs). Please help if you can! www.gofundme.com/f/support-lu...

Don't forget your whistle and pick up shifts to observe when you can. As always, Abolish ICE. Jason Chavez 2/

Solidarity with New York City from Minneapolis. We stand with New Yorkers resisting ICE. Additionally, this afternoon, a neighbor was kidnapped by ICE on East Lake Street, so we must continue to stay vigilant here at home. 1/

abolish. abolish. abolish. we do not have to live like this.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 2d ago

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Sending love to the protesters in NYC and to everyone impacted by the ongoing violence ICE is perpetrating in our streets.

Miles’ second-place finish is the highest by a rookie since Candace Parker won the award in 2008. More: https://bringmethesports.com/lynx-rookie-olivia-miles-finishes-second-in-wnba-mvp-voting-behind-aja-wilson

My highlight of the week: I was giving blood as I do regularly. My blood tech, a young Black femme, and I were talking about my ethos of making law more accessible for communities that are often excluded. She then gets a phone call that she had to take, she comes back in “I got into med school!”

The federal governments ongoing effort to forcibly ethnically cleanse Minnesota continues We must continue to resist this and actively protect our Somali neighbors. Not on our watch. We keep us safe.

this isn’t a new sentiment from him, but genuinely, i wish he’d keep minnesota out of his fucking mouth and thoughts.

The police are defunding you.

A FRACTION of Met Council or MNDOT’s budget could fund this program. A FRACTION of either city’s police budget could bridge the gap.

All of this car sharing success being shut down because the Twin Cities can't come up with an operating subsidy? This was once my life's work, and it was the most successful operation in the country. What are we doing? Where is the vision? Who is the hero?

One time early in my time living in Cork, i was smoking weed with some of the frisbee lads and they passed the joint to the right I was told “yknow how we drive on the other side of the road? it’s like that” I believed that for too long, turns out they just didn’t want to pass me the joint first

Lookit. Deep down every Irish person wants to spin some yank a yarn that gets cited as fact in some factual text. We told an Irish American girl that when the Muppets was released in Ireland, Kermit the Frog was called Dermot the Frog because Cromwell’s son was a Kermit.

It is sadly not a surprise that only weeks before the election there is an uptick in narratives that other our Somali community here in Minnesota. Scapegoating any community is wrong. Especially when done for political gain. Let’s stand by our neighbors.

Doron has consistently run one of the most people-centered, neighbor-led political campaigns I've seen in my time in MN. These are values that I've come to know he keeps close to his heart, and are a true reflection on how leads in the Senate. This is how you politics.

To my neighbors, and the place we call home.

bipolar is weird, especially well-managed with meds most of the time life is fine and normal, and other times my bones itch, my skin feels jumpy, my brain is filled with too many thoughts to process at once, and so many urges for self destructive behaviors it’s hard to actually function

Joyous 4th anniversary to @phoenix-rights.bsky.social 💞🩶 We rode 22mi along the Mississippi River 🚲 💙🩵 & saw a • bald eagle soar + heard it call 🦅 • downright mythic white squirrel on Nicollet Island🤍 • woodchuck scurry into the underbrush🤎 & can look forward to taking many more new trails together👩🏻‍❤️‍👩🏻

We also made blueberry wild rice pancakes & sausage patties for breakfast (& froze a whole big batch of the pancakes so we have plenty for several days to come) & @phoenix-rights.bsky.social made us an INCREDIBLE batch of beef stroganoff for dinner. A full day enjoying what we have together. 💞🩶

I’m having an am I getting gaslit at city hall and the media market right now moment? Because the mayor, some colleagues, and the strib are making seem like everyone and their momma wants to see Waymo’s and cybercabs driving around Minneapolis powered by AI. Replies on this thread say otherwise.

Serious question: are y’all pro Autonomous Vehicle? I’m straining to understand why some are. Let me know - also what do you think of the workforce disruption to drivers, transit worker, and trucking?

i made too much anniversary nachos

its genuinely crazy how much this country normalizes and rewards violence against women. seeing the news cycle for what it is recently and knowing the federal government is run by pedophiles and rapists.... survivors are not doing well. check on your friends.

went to see Unshatter, the Linkin Park documentary on its opening day yesterday with one of my best friends and their for his birthday. We're both huge fans of LP, we went to the TC show last summer together The doc is really beautiful and it was cool to see with how much intentionality

it's never too late to delete your meta accounts! wife and I deleted this past January for... reasons; and while its sometimes annoying to not be on IG, I really don't miss it at all It was hard severing the connection to some old friends, but its not like we were talking often anyway

“More than any other digital service, my email is a window into my brain. Now Meta has it. If that's not enough, Muse also suggested I give it my bank accounts. No thanks. I didn't let the AI run wild on my computer hard drive, either.”

Renee Good should be alive today. She was our neighbor, out observing federal agents & looking out for the people around her. I'm holding her family close as they file suit seeking the accountability that federal officials have refused to give them. 1/

Minnesota Star Tribune@startribune.com · last wk.

The family of Renee Good, the Minneapolis woman who was fatally shot by a federal immigration enforcement agent near her home in January, filed two federal lawsuits Thursday alleging wrongful death, among other contentions.

Her killing shook every corner of the Southside, especially the immigrant families who already knew this fear too well. We won't forget her, and we won't stop fighting for her. Caring for your immigrant neighbors should never cost you your life. Abolish ICE. 2/
