Vote YES on the school amendment, Minnesota! Skipping the question is the same as a No vote. Yes for school funding that doesn’t affect your tax dollars whatsoever!

#weekwithoutdriving Transit is essential, but it only really works with micromobility: bikes, trikes, cargo bikes, e-bikes, scooters. People often need to be able to autonomously get to/from places transit doesn’t go (and where transit shouldn’t be expected to go).

What’s something minor that TV/movies always get wrong in a way that completely takes you out of it? Safe deposit boxes. They are so heavily regulated. You can’t just show up at a bank with a key and get access. You have to know the box number and your name has to be on the account.

I was told Zohran Mamdani would instantly turn New York into a crime-ridden hellscape. Yet murders are down almost 20%, year over year. 203 people have been slain, about 22.5 per month. In 1990, that average was *251 per month.* NYC has never been this safe.

The majority of Minnesotans ride bikes. The majority of Minnesotans also say they'd bike more if there was better and safer infrastructure to do so. @mndot.mn.gov's update to the Statewide Bicycle+ System Plan is good, but does it go far enough?

MnDOT’s Draft of the Statewide Bicycle+ System Plan is a Big Update - Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota
It's a huge improvement over the last version. But does it fall short of the clear public desire to make biking, walking, and rolling safer in Minnesota?

Abolish ICE not only because of the obvious reasons but also because of this. If there's going to be immigration enforcement it's got to be rebuilt from the ground up.

A tree sitter has returned to the remaining cottonwood in Lochiel, which has its roots to the south of the old wall but overhangs the route of the new one
we see a large and beautiful cottonwood, hung with homemade banners decrying the border wall and with a canopy high up in the branches.

I'm always struck by how biking and route planning has made me a better navigator overall, including when driving. I spend a lot of time both poring over maps and exploring while on my bike, which has helped hone my sense of direction, but also my ability to interpret maps.

I think people would be less likely to buy large vehicles if it was a huge pain in the ass to drive them here, especially in cities. Higher gas prices are part of it. But there should be extra fees and taxes based on weight. Parking your giant Suburban should be incredibly difficult. etc.

Our built infrastructure robs kids of their freedom of independent mobility. Streets are dominated by oversized vehicles, piloted by aggressive and distracted drivers where one mistake can turn lethal. We sacrificed child development to subsidize the auto industry.

Abolish ICE. Fire them all. Prosecute their crimes. Start with prosecuting the crimes first and work your way backward if that makes you more comfortable. But we cannot live in a country with this level of elite impunity.

Why does St. Paul not tow cars from the bike lanes very fast? 10 hours and counting. They were on top of it for the marathon but nothing for Cleveland Ave at Portland Ave today. Another reason we need protected bike lanes on Summit and other arterials.

One line of argument I don’t understand is “I suffered XYZ thing back in my day, therefore you should suffer it too.” Less suffering is actually a good thing. It’s good if the people who come after you don’t suffer like you did.
