Love to see the New Nicollet nearing completion. (Former K Mart site). Best part is definitely going to be how the 18 bus route will speed up without having to detour.

We are at City Hall to call out @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social for his disgraceful steal of climate funding to fill his budget gap. That money comes from our utility bills and is funding home energy retro fits for low-income residents.. SHAME on Mayor Frey! We need City Council to fix his mistake.

2026 was a huge year for expansion of our transit system and next year is going to be even bigger! Gold line, Green line, G line and more. So lucky to be in a city where our public transit system is being invested in.

feeling unexpectedly emotional as we visit saerbeck, a town of just 7200 in central germany that formed a climate municipality. they produce 4.5x the electricity they need, and have developed a whole array of climate solutions. one of them? a climate action curriculum that starts in kindergarten.

Climate funding is < 1% of the city’s $1.6b budget. And yet, Frey wants to divert utility franchise fees to the general fund to offset his bloated property tax problem. Tell Mayor Frey: Stop sacrificing the life saving programs making our energy cleaner and more affordable. Fund our futures!

Bari Weiss tried to get “60 Minutes” to make Minneapolis protestors look more violent, AFTER the Feds killed two of us. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/m... (Gift link)
From the NY Times interview with Scott Pelley: You've now accused Weiss of injecting "falsehoods and bias" into at least one of your politically sensitive stories. What did she specifically ask for? What story? That's February, and my team and I are doing a story about the protests in Minneapolis against the ICE crackdown there. We've interviewed Senator Rand Paul, Republican, because he's going to hold hearings into this, and the
fact that a Republican was going to do that was quite newsworthy. So, we interviewed Senator Paul and then built out a story about what had happened — the killing of Renee Good, the killing of Alex Pretti, the protests. I felt it was very important to identify that the protesters themselves were being very aggressive and that they were half of these confrontations, and so I instructed my producers
to find images in which we see the protesters acting aggressively. We found a picture of a protester chest-bumping an officer. We
found a picture of an officer being hit in the head with a snowball. We culled together a lot of video of protesters screaming in the faces of officers because we were going to talk about the killing of Pretti and the killing of Good, and it seemed to me important to tell the audience about the entire context. I thought we'd done a really good job with this. We also included a picture of Alex Pretti before he was killed kicking out a taillight on a police car and made a point
of saying, this is Alex Pretti and this is what he did.So, the story goes through screenings. It's very well received. There are notes as always and we do rewrites as always. But this is on a very tight deadline. It's Sunday; we're going on the air that night. And in the case of stories that are, as we say, crashing, our deadline on Sunday is noon. So, we work on all of these things. We get the piece approved by everyone. And about four hours after our deadline, Bari Weiss sends an email to my boss, Tanya Simon. Two of the things in the email include, can we make the protesters look more violent? Now, I'm paraphrasing. I don't have the quote, but that's what was communicated to me. And the other thing, Renee
Good's car. You need to describe her as driving toward the officer. This is not what you see on the video. On the video, you see the officer standing slightly off the front of the car. And you clearly see Ms. Good's wheels turned completely as far as they will go, away from the officer. But he shoots her in the head, kills her, and says
something about her that I can't repeat in polite company. We have gone out of our way in our plan from the very beginning to show the protesters for the responsibility that they had. We had
already scrubbed the video archives, looking for those scenes. Somehow that wasn't enough for Ms. Weiss. The video showed that the officer wasn't standing in front of the car and she wasn't driving toward him, but that's what the president said about that,
and that's the way she wanted it described.
