25 years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people, including 2,753 New Yorkers. As we remember that terrible day, let us also remember the first responders, office workers and strangers who ran toward danger to help each other.

My dad yesterday, noticing our key storage for the first time: “Laura, this is a lot of keys for a family that only has one car…” Me: “Yes, we have a lot of bike locks.”

6 sets of keys on carabiners hang from a key storage thing on the wall. The wall is teal.

I was on a call with someone w/ a major bike brand (for @mcbl.bike stuff) today.They asked me what Minneapolis’ bike culture is like. My best friend had just texted me this story about her 4yo who recently switched from balance bike to pedal bike & IME it’s representative of Mpls’ bike culture:

Screenshot of a text message:

I've leveled up on parenting. doesn't have school today
and I had to bring
to OT
this mornina, so I missed my run. But
and I just went
together! She rode her bike, I ran, and she made it the whole way!!
I think one of my favorite parts of living where we do is that whenever our kids are out on their little bike so many strangers who are also out biking and walking cheer them on.
A caravan of old men on road bikes passed us and they were cheering and ringing their bells for her.

Bachelors was in political science and I’m in tech now but have followed these developments closely. I’d vote for climate change. Fascism will reward the oil companies and that alone will just drive in the proverbial nail in the coffin. Larger impacts in CC. Fascism can be beaten back - quicker

Yeah. I mean, props to your group for even having that discussion. 10 years ago (before Trump was running at least) - it wasn’t really on my radar at all for American Fascism. It makes sense now but, just incomprehensible then. I’ve been more than aware of climate change in different ways for 20

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control. “It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

This is Minneapolis: Thousands of families are at risk of eviction bc they haven't been able to work in weeks & don't have $ for rent. I heard about a family where "the son, who had access to the online account to pay rent, was abducted recently" so they don't have access to their account now. 💔

This is happening across my neighborhood (& further). 7 weeks in to this federal occupation, many neighbors are out of food & at risk of eviction. I don’t know how else to sound the alarm. Things are dire. NOW. We need ICE out & eviction moratorium and more support to keep folks fed & housed.
