I wish I had asked public works about this statistic that 75% of Minneapolis bike thefts are from indoor spaces like bike rooms and garages. I know it's more common than people realize, but 75% is shockingly high.

Radicalizing experience listening to these real estate weasels talk about being afraid of Uptown. I'm about to post something outrageous like "I'd rather live in a failed neighborhood than have people like you want to come here."

Put another way: the City could cover the full funding gap with nine days worth of MPD overtime pay.

$625,000 is such a hilariously small number. It's exactly how you'd expect we'd let a great public service die. To put that amount in perspective, it's only twice what we spend to make sure Lisa Goodman has a job at city hall in recognition for her years of service as best friend to the mayor.

Dear neighbors,

The City Council is preparing to amend and adopt a City Budget for 2027. The 2027 Budget proposed by Mayor Frey in August includes cuts to many programs that our communities rely on while increasing the budget for the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) by more than $20 million.

We can recognize that the City is facing real fiscal challenges while rejecting false austerity. These narratives are being used as a pretext for cuts to programs communities rely on, all while allowing MPD to have an ever ballooning budget that goes unchecked year after year.

Fiscal responsibility doesn’t look like just cutting across the board. It means examining every major area of city spending, identifying inefficiencies and measurable outcomes, and ensuring every tax dollar the City spends actually improves residents’ lives or enhances a public good.

MPD has gone $20 million over budget two years in a row, and MPD leaders have publicly admitted that there has been mismanagement of overtime. Earlier this year, both the Commissioner of Community Safety and the Chief Operating Officer both publicly stated they were unaware of this overspending for nearly all of 2025. Earlier this year, when ICE invaded our city, our communities stepped up to protect our neighbors while the MPD did little to nothing to keep us safe yet still got millions in overtime compensation. It is not fiscally responsible to increase MPD’s budget by $20 million when it is widely known that mismanagement of MPD is fueling unnecessary costs that are not meaningfully improving public safety.

The budget is funded by working people, and they deserve accountability and oversight of how their money is spent. This year, the Board of Estimate and Taxation, the body that sets the maximum tax levy, made it clear that unchecked police overspending needed to be meaningfully addressed. The City Council has…

I'm genuinely very sad about this. #Hourcar was such a cool thing. I didn't own a car for years, but I used Hourcar to get myself to hockey games and to go for occasional Costco runs. #minneapolis

The Soo Elevator was built in 1916 to handle grain coming in from the Northern Plains on the Soo Line Railroad, back when Minneapolis was the milling capital of the world. After several ownership changes it's now a General Mills oat-receiving facility served by CPKC Rail.

Listen: I don’t want to minimize the danger of high e-bike speeds. But if the problem here is that stores sell e-bikes that can drive faster than legal limits, then where’s the story about how literally *every car dealership has been doing the same thing for decades*?!?

A new hidden camera investigation by Marketplace shows how some stores are selling e-scooters and e-bikes with top speeds much higher than provincial speed limits and with recommended rider ages young...

One if the nice things about the Bend app, and a lot of meditation apps I've used, is that it means I can short circuit some of the "I need to stretch!! But I don't have TIME!!" not everything has to be 45-60 min, it can be 5 min of neck stretches and I still feel way better.
