Shakopee today.
A dozen vehicles. 15+ ICE agents. All to apprehend one person who wasn’t even home.
This isn’t an effective use of time or resources. This is simply terrorizing a neighborhood and our community.
ICE makes us less safe. End Operation Metro Surge.

Just got back from biking home and I have to say as someone who also drove someone's car in the snowfall for a little bit today, I felt safer and more in control on my bike then the car.
And I don't even have fat tires or studded tires. Just my regular road bike tires.

Respectfully, Congresswoman, you voted with Republicans to strip due process from immigrants and to praise Trump's ICE. This year.
Now you're upset?
Votes have consequences. Minnesotans deserve better.

ICE agents followed a Burnsville family home from the store, failed to present a warrant and entered their home with guns drawn. They detained 4 legal citizens who presented documentation, leaving a 7 year-old without parents.
A seven-year-old. Let that sink in. Trump’s ICE is out of control.

Hot take: no matter how civically engaged you are, if you don’t clear the public sidewalk in front of your property, you are not a good citizen of the city.

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back.
Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance.

Super excited to celebrate the opening of the @metrotransitmn.bsky.social E line today! We're so fortunate to have visionary leaders who have funded a strong and growing transit system! Already visited places I'd never been before in Minneapolis and Edina.

Same survey says that more than a third of Republicans believe the moon landing was faked, including more than half of Republican men under 50. Conspiracism in the GOP is a huge problem but those numbers seem *really* high and I hope they're wrong! manhattan.institute/article/the-...

It is the 4th largest by lane miles in the country.
MN is 22nd most populous.
MN is the 12th largest by area.
The state highway network was built on a false narrative of endless growth, propped up by flawed traffic models.
Will this be the year state leaders have the courage to change course?

In case you missed that this is an update: The woman has died. #SOS wants more of this. I hope @mayorher.bsky.social understands that this is why the Summit Regional plan is a critical need. Not one death is acceptable. We know how to prevent these deaths and have the ability to do so. A choice.
The 75-year-old woman and her husband were crossing the street when they were hit, according to police.

There is something so deeply, deeply Minnesotan about these sorts of posts (which I see every winter). If you're from almost anywhere else and wondering if you're missing something: this person did in fact leave their car running, unlocked, keys in the ignition.

I did not in fact need a video to show me that it's easy to walk up and drive away in a car that's running unlocked with the keys in it, but thanks 😂

This morning on my bike commute a coyote ran out in front of me on the trail and I had the pleasure of watching it bound through the snow in the creek bed below! Love special moments like these!
