“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.

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.

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.

The Museum of Anthropology is an absolute must-visit if you are ever in Vancouver. I have never seen so much indigenous art in one place, and especially not presented in a way that tries to center indigenous voices & history like this museum does. Also: the architecture is stunning.
The exterior building. It alone is absolutely stunning architecture, looking out at the bay and mountainsAn artwork by Bill Reid, an indigenous Haida artist. The sculpture depicts a raven and the "first men". It is absolutely massive in person. A dome-shaped skylight illuminates it. It was the first major sculpture by a Pacific NW indigenous artist to be made in a more contemporary European style, albeit with many many strong parallels to Pacific NW art.The main hall of the museum, showing a large collection of totem poles. All poles after 1958 were commissioned by the museum, prior ones from e.g. the potlatch ban days do not necessarily have such a positive history of acquisition. The room is huge, bright, and open.An artwork and jug from an exhibit on peoples of the Andes (in modern-day Peru) that's dated at around ~2000 years old. It has many depictions of hummingbirds yet in a blocky, modern style by European art history standards. The exhibit is full of many more examples of incredible artistry from the region.

It's beyond offensive. An arm of the federal government - ICE - created fear in our communities. As a state government, we should step up to help in ways that we can. The MNLeg cannot stop ICE, but we can and should pass increased rental assistance to help people stay in their homes.
