The heaviest load is the daily burden of living in a place that doesn't prioritize making it safe and comfortable for anyone outside of a car!

I've seen some people with profile pictures of the new Minnesota flag, but most appear to be incorrectly cropped and pixelated. I made some flag-accurate options, so feel free to download and use! #NewMNFlag

Talk about a bird's eye view! Our 511mn.org cam recently caught a hawk overseeing traffic on I-94 near Portland Ave in Minneapolis.

I amplify this message with unwavering support for the civil service and love for government.
I can only assume that's the perspective of this commenter as well.

Today is the 19th anniversary of the day that the Blackhawk I was co-piloting was shot down by an RPG in Iraq.
The day I should've died but didn't because my buddies refused to leave me behind.

Donald Trump got 5 military deferments during the Vietnam war. He demeaned John McCain for being a POW, attacked a Gold Star family, insulted a military widow, he tried to defund the VA, stole & then shared with regular civilians, top secret military documents, he told his Chief of Staff that he didn’t want wounded veterans at a military parade because “no one wanted to see them”, before telling that same man, John Kelly (the father of a fallen soldier) that he “didn’t get it”, that he didn’t understand “what was in for them”, he called the 1,800 Marines killed during the bloody Battle of Belleau Wood “suckers” for dying in action, didn’t want to visit the graves of American soldiers buried outside Paris because they were ‘losers’, he has repeatedly belittled, insulted, name called and attacked just about every single member of the military who served during his time in office, or any other military leader who so much as even dared to criticize him, and as recently as this year, he called for the execution of our Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for “treason.”
But sure, he’ll never forget the sacrifices our Vets have made, because he “appreciates” them.
BULLFUCKINGSHIT.

My Rondo STP sis won. We were here a year ago saying let’s get the WINS for the St Paula!!! We did. Yes!!! @AnikaBowieSTP – at St Paul, MN
@foleymo.bsky.social retweeted
In her speech when results officially declared, @AnikaBowieSTP centered her roots in Rondo, her family’s experiences w/ displacement and incarceration, and her determination to lead with a vision for healing and restoration of our communities.
Just incredible. Congratulations.

When your bike parking sucks, this is what you get. Despite having parking for hundreds of cars, @BlackStackBrew has one of the worst bike racks ever that's almost impossible to lock to securely. You almost always find bikes locked to the railing here instead.

Bilal is the kind of guy who has actually done a journeymap of SF's hiring process to understand why it takes over 215 days to fill a role in city govt. SF needs Bilal. Badly.
I'm running for office.
I'm running because San Francisco has become a Party of No. Politicians tell us no to housing, no to safe streets, no to small business.
I'm running to be elected to the SF Democratic Party and return it to a Party of Yes.
Here's how.
The politicians in this city are fixated on ideology and tribal politics, leaving them completely out-of-touch with the people they are elected to serve. We used to be focused on big ideas. We used to collaborate. But we lost our way in San Francisco.
As the child of immigrants who currently rents and resides in the Tenderloin, I have seen the promise of what our city and community can offer. I have worked in the public and private sectors, and have seen how innovation can bring progress. It's time we apply that same progress to San Francisco's government.
Running for, and being elected as, a member of the Democratic Party gives us an opportunity to ensure that progress. We will advocate for legislation and partner with elected officials to usher in new and bolder ideas.
That’s why I am releasing a first of its kind visual political platform - representing a bold new vision for how we can create a safe and vibrant San Francisco.
Our plan, represented in four beautiful illustrations designed by @VladSF, focuses on bold ideas to reform San Francisco. Academic villages to recover our downtown, centralized government services as mobile hubs to address homelessness, night markets to bolster our small business, and a green mile to reshape our transit infrastructure.

But we have to not only think bigger to realize this vision. We have to work together.
No longer can we reflexively say no to any idea. It's time to end the excuse-making and ideological battles of the past. I am running to present a better path. One where we not only think bigger, but also collaborate and build consensus.
Because only together can we build bridges across San Francisco's political lines, and get the results we so desperately need to turn our city around.
I hope you'll join me in this journey.

The @cityofsaintpaul Fence of Shame is coming down! Watch out for the contractor though - he just stared at me, asked what the problem was, to which I said, "no problem, I'm thrilled to see the fence come down, thank you!".
No response, just stared & held power tool menacingly.

ALT Venn diagram. One circle says "Traffic cone" and is marked with a traffic cone. Additional text says: "Reflective. Directs traffic and zipper merges. Helps keep us all safe."

Traditionally, October is a deadly month for pedestrians. As of Sept. 30, 30 people have died and 568 have been injured while crossing the street in Minnesota—that's one person injured every 12 hours. Slow down and watch for each other. Learn more: bit.ly/3F2NIQ9

McAuley got his subs right tonight. If that was Heath, he would’ve subbed on extra defensive minded players (like Arriaga, Taylor, Bristow) to hold a lead. McAuley’s was more like-for-like swaps & brought fresh energy to the game. They made an impression too, like ITS and Fraga.
