We went to Hayward to get some groceries and a stop at because we had left Jess birth control at home. As Jess was checking out, cashier John told her he couldn’t sell her the condoms. “Oh I got them from over there.” “We can, but I won’t because of my faith.” 1/x

Jess, “it is none of your business.” “I can get a manager here, do you want me to finish checking out these things”. Jess: “Not from you!” 2/x

I expect about 400 kids to stop by our North Mpls house on Victory. If we were on Xerxes Ave N it would be 1500+. Stop this fear mongering.

It’s a sad day in Minnesota when I hear from countless parents who are too concerned for their children’s safety to let them go trick-or-treating in their own neighborhoods. We are losing the state we know and love. That all changes next Tuesday.

Whoever did the lines on the Victory walking and biking path should probably be given a new assignment at the Park Board.

1) food open past 10pm 2) transit network running every 8-10 min. 3) embrace river life- hardly any food or drink spots along the river. Totally bonkers

I have lived in North Minneapolis for 8 1/2 years and have never felt the need to wear a bullet proof vest. I have biked all over North and never felt unsafe. I have shown clients homes in every part of North and never once felt the unsafe. These folks are racist fear mongers.

Susan Rose, 63, says at Minneapolis budget hearing that she wears body armor every day to leave her Northside home, and that people like her will soon “return fire” to “teenage gangs.” She then posted online that Council Member @CunninghamMPLS “smirked like a gang shooter.”

There is something deeply insulting when folks just paint the entire area of a city (North Minneaplis for example) as a hell scape. People live in these areas ffs. And for a majority folks, we choose to live here. You are talking about where folks live as hell. What the fuck.

Arizona & California have reached end of the line and have to solve water crisis immediately. Lake Superior — largest freshwater lake in the world — runneth over. Can’t we use existing pipes to rush water to Colorado River? #ActNow Cut methane ASAP! 👇 gallantgoldhillreporter.com/2022/07/18/mus

Mary won every precinct in North Mpls.
Quote
If I’m reading my results right, @MaryMoriarty is gonna be our next Hennepin County Attorney. Up 57.7% to Holton Dimick’s 41.72% with 354 of 397 precincts in. Big win for beleaguered progressives if it holds.

Jamie Lee Curtis wonders why artists don’t have concerts during the day rather than night: “Why are there no matinees? I'm not gonna go see Coldplay if they start their show at 9 and there's an opening act. I want to hear Coldplay at 1 PM.”

Does the Try that in a Small Town song mention a family moving into a rural town, to a farm and attempting to have the local government service the road their property sits on while a neighbor attempts to make it hard for them as possible to live there?

The Minnesota Promise 2.0
They’re betting that a Scandinavian model, in which we pay higher taxes but are guaranteed benefits like education, health care, transit and paid leave, will nudge people to be healthier, better educated, more productive. The programs will lead to human flourishing: People will want to move here and stay here and have babies. Minnesota forever.  

It’s a big bet. And even if properly conceived, it can go very wrong. 

If we’re pouring $1 billion into housing, and more than $2 billion of new money into schools, and raising sales taxes for roads, it all needs to work. We should have more affordable housing, more children should be proficient in reading and math, and fewer potholes. 

In other words: The work has just begun.

I was picking up dinner from Reverie last night and drove around Powderhorn Park. The park was full of people of all ages using the park. This was at 6:30pm. The narrative that the park is not safe for people and kids to go and play is simply not true.

In every old house there are two sets of temperatures: the 2nd floor with a bedroom with poor air flow and the basemant where it's 30° cooler.

Monday nights does a live stream with one of his travel shows, pauses it every 5-6 min to talk about what we just watched all while he drinks wine and peels cheese. It is a delight.

A vote for is a vote for this: “More than a year after the protests, no officers have been disciplined — except for an officer who violated MPD policy by speaking to a reporter anonymously — and multiple class action lawsuits against the city are pending.”
Quote
New bodycam videos show how MPD became increasingly militaristic in their attempt to clamp down on Floyd protests. A sergeant punctured protesters' car tires, a lieutenant made a racist remark, and a commander praised a SWAT team for "hunting" civilians: minnesotareformer.com/2021/10/05/bod

Well, this is interesting: In NYC, a new bill would invite residents to submit photos of cars blocking bike lanes, schools, and sidewalks -- and then receive 25% of each $175 ticket. bloomberg.com/news/articles/

You've got to be kidding me @StarTribune. "perceptions that the area is unsafe"? That area is a no-go zone. The vibrancy comes from not knowing whether you will be robbed, carjacked, shot, assaulted or just harassed on any given day. Don't believe me? Just follow @CrimeWatchMpls twitter.com/StarTribune/st…

Crime is going to come down in 2022 in Mpls (it already is compared to 2020) and folks will point to the results tonight as to why but that won’t be the case.

"The officer added that police sometimes deliberately take a longer route than necessary to respond to calls – mostly in the hope that whatever the problem was, it will be resolved by the time they arrive."

NEW: After George Floyd's death sparked calls to overhaul Minneapolis' police force, officers abruptly adopted a hands-off approach to everyday lawbreaking in the city, even as killings surged. "It's self-preservation," one said. reuters.com/investigates/s

It’s weird when folks cheer for big cities to be doing poorly? I mean the burbs and exurbs and rural areas need thriving hubs and vice versa.

Something needs to be said about this culture of neighborhood social networking groups, where people are whipped up to be afraid of anyone and everything in their own neighborhood.

I love how in MSP we have a city called Saint Anthony, a neighborhood called Saint Anthony Park (in Saint Paul) and a street called Saint Anthony Main (in Minneapolis).
