🚆🚨 The Metro Transit Green Line Extension 313A test train is currently moving between Royalston and Bryn Mawr Stations. 😍 Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Republican Gubernatorial nominee Lisa Demuth is the person who brought Metro Surge down on us. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...
Demuth: GOP caucus directed YouTuber to Minnesota. A professor explains why it went viral
University of Minnesota media law professor Jane Kirtley says the new viral video is flashy but absent of facts to back up its claims.

Maybe this is well known but the Home Depot is St Louis Park has Flock cameras all over their parking lot
No reason the fair couldn’t start here where The Mall intersects Hennepin Ave. The best of both worlds bring people to the businesses in Uptown and still line a portion of Lake of the Isles
The Uptown Association continues their tradition of holding events as far away from uptown businesses as they can.
“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs are savings.
Obligatory... "The future will not belong to those who sit at the sidelines. The future will not belong to the cynics. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams - Paul Wellstone" (Circa early 2000s Loring Park Lunalux letterpress postcard)
When you #VoteEarlyForPeggy at 980 E Hennepin, where *all Minneapolis voters* can fill out their ballots, staff will guide you in the parking lot, at the door, and at a long bank of tables. It’s on the 4, 25, and 61 bus routes. Open 8-6. You vote just like on Election Day, and feed your ballot in.
got my dork sticker — the whole early voting in person operation is impressively well-organized
"Fox News has not seen the evidence yet and is not in a position to evaluate the accuracy of the president's statement and claims"
Next time someone tries arguing that it’s “social engineering” (cue ominous music) to give people more CHOICE to walk, bike & take public transit in their city, tell them that designing our current car DEPENDENCY has been the largest and most damaging social engineering experiment in human history.
I’m happy to announce that the City Council voted to approve the County’s plan for the Lyndale Reconstruction Project! This protects the $9M from the Federal Gov for the project.
Our National Parks are a treasure to all Americans. DJT is steeling funds from the parks budget to pay for his pet gliding projects at the White House. Park projects like replacing safety railings are not getting funded. This is shameful. spread the word open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Observers are noting that the reflecting pool fiasco, in which Trump created the idea there was an emergency, ignored experts, bypassed normal procedures to give a wildly inflated contract to a crony,...

Michele Garnett McKenzie said federal authorities used "extrajudicial executions, enforced disappearance, arbitrary detention, some of the most chilling & potent human rights violations there are, to terrorize Minnesota's immigrant & refugee communities." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Report authors say feds violated Minnesotans' human rights during ICE surge
The 186-page report from Human Rights Watch in part highlights how federal agents stopped or detained thousands of people and alleges that many of the arrests were arbitrary and race-based.

Yes 👇🏽 and it’s happening at facets of society
The conservative movement explicitly, no-shit, no-other-explanation believes that an educated populace is directly opposed to their vision of a peasant class having 15 kids and building wealth for the Chosen Few Elites forever and want to repeal the 20th and the 19th century to achieve that goal
Large banner referring to Renee Good, who was killed in January by federal agents, hangs from the side of a building on Lake Street at Lyndale Avenue. The other side of the building reads "ICE OUT". Minneapolis, May 2026
This is the conversation I’m most interested in, personally, now that I believe team streets for people has been successful. I’d really love to see a group of Both Sides come together with a support small business group/plan in the coming years, taking wins & lessons from Hennepin
Leaning Tower owner striking a more conciliatory tone than last time. Urging assistance for businesses to get through reconstruction.
Can Minneapolis do this? I’d love to see a pilot school street
“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”
People and things that hadn't yet been brought into existence at the time (1934) of the last full reconstruction of Lyndale Avenue (from Franklin to Lake): Elvis, Julie Andrews, Robert Redford, Velcro, the microwave, ballpoint pens, World War 2.
