Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 16/09/2026You might also have to close the Albany Ave entrance, but I don't think it would be necessary. Most people use a GPS nowadays and I think a GPS would just tell you to go around rather than make four turns. 000
Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 16/09/2026You could make Humboldt Park 10x nicer and less noisy by closing this tiny stretch of Humboldt Blvd. Access to all of the existing parking lots is maintained, but you completely eliminate cut through traffic and redirect cars around the park, not straight through the center. 110
Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 14/08/2026This post has nothing to do with Tom Tiffany and everything to do with David Crowley. 210
Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Another example is Ashland county - Hong dominated in this region, receiving almost as many votes as Tiffany even though the assembly district is represented by a Republican (Chanz Green). 100
Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 12/08/20262) @mkedsa.bsky.social and other Wisconsin DSA chapters should begin looking for candidates to flip R districts where Hong performed well. This includes, for example, the suburbs of Green Bay - currently represented by Republicans, but which had similar turnout between D and R primary. 100
Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Like Abdul El-Sayed, @francescahongwi.bsky.social performed strongly in rural areas while failing to break through in big cities. This is pretty disappointing, but I think it also gives hints as to what a successful strategy might look like for DSA going forward. 100
Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 23/07/2026How it feels watching the Wisconsin governors race from Illinois 000
Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 26/05/2026This is always very funny to me because people who ride their bikes in winter are incredibly eager to tell you that they bike in winter. What's that joke about vegans? "How do you know if someone is a vegan?" "They'll tell you." It's like that. (It's me, I bike in the snow.) 021
Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Thought I was stressed, turns out I just hadn't seen the lake in a while 000
Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Judge me by my enemies. You might not think that being anti-bike lane is right wing, but the right certainly does. #bikechi 141
Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 14/05/2026me forcing my fellow leftists to read Life After Cars because they don't hate cars enough yet 000
Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 16/04/2026After losing definitively and humiliatingly on the Grand Avenue bike lanes, Roger's new plan is "go outside and yell at the sky until I get my way" 100

Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 20/12/2025Surrounding the Sturtevant Amtrak station with car dealerships and storage units is diabolical. Like I actually do not understand it. 000
Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 29/11/2025So like Is Dog Haus a ghost kitchen? I've never seen this sign before 100
Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 10/10/2025We should go back to the Betsy Ross flag. I don't have a good reason for it, I just think it has better vibes. 000
Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 09/09/2025New #divvy station right by my house 🙌 I'm convinced this was done for me in particular 000
Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 06/03/2025The real villains are the ones who chose these ten designs over the hundreds of better ones. My personal favorite: 000
Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 04/02/2025I'm partial to this one, but Christmas Village Cat is also excellent 010
Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Accidental urbanism by Brookfield, WI: I really like the new sidewalk (read: bike path) on Lisbon west of 124th It's so smooth that it feels like they built it for *me specifically* to bike to Chipotle. 100
Sam Kovnar @srkovnar.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Really good turnout at the Kinnickinnic Avenue Traffic Calming listening session. People of Milwaukee are making their voices heard: we want streets built for people, not cars. 130
