Quick budget question: would you be a fan of cutting funding for Minneapolis parks to pay for Minneapolis police overtime?

It was fun exploring with @engy5150.bsky.social !!!
Dan Engelhart He/Him@olsenforparks.bsky.social and I got out to look for new dog park locations- we have options and n plus 1 is goal
Fuck ICE. Fuck Trump. Fuck all Fascists. These weak intimidation tactics won't stop us.
Daniel SuitorWhat's starting in Minneapolis today is going to be just like the Broadview 6 case. A desperate attempt at a show trial pursued by dumb, vicious prosecutors performing for an audience of one. An attempt to discourage and scare people from fighting back. It's not going to work.
Thanks for your kind words!
David BrauerLike others I grieve the loss of the Mississippi River dog park but Tom puts it well, an easy decision to honor history there. Excellent, honest political communication, especially refreshing given toxic gaslighting from the White House or Haughty Indifference from the DFL gubernatorial favorite.
My email response to a constituent was turned into a Reddit thread. Happy my stance is being shared because I stand by it! I know this is painful for lots of folks, but I'm committed to a search for alternatives and ensuring the future use of the space is positive! www.reddit.com/r/Minneapoli...
Thanks to @phmelody.bsky.social for capturing my enthusiasm for our new trail connection at Ole Olson park to the 26th ave north outlook! This is how we connect North to the river and and the city to North. Next step, pedestrian bridge over to Northeast!!! www.facebook.com/100064928971...
This is honestly so embarrassing. The bus rules, stop scaring yourself with your head canon about transit.
Wedge LIVE!™Elderly yet jacked real estate mogul Bruce Dachis: "I don't take the bus because quite frankly I'm afraid to take the bus." Then what the fuck is all the HGH for, Bruce?
I mean... It also helps that our population has only gone up by 340 people over the last 5 years. Which considering everything that's happened to us, ain't too bad. (St. Paul is estimated to have lost 4,800...)
SamZohran just cited Minneapolis, Austin, and Auckland as cities that lowered housing costs via upzoning certified ball knowledge, Auckland is a deep YIMBY cut
I go about 25 mph on my ebike on Minnehaha Parkway and every single car behind me passes me. Physcology of being behind a bike definitely contributes, but still. The only way forward that keeps cars on the parkways is a plethora of speed cameras. These aren't public right of way, these are parks.
Matthew “Bike Guy”Got passed, TWICE, by drivers on W River Parkway this AM, for the crime of driving 25 mph in a 20 mph area. One of them managed to get a full 50 yards in front of me before a stop sign collected a large group of vehicles. These streets badly need to be closed to cars.
Props to Comm Garcia for getting this done not even halfway through year one! Of course not possible without @katiejonesmpls.bsky.social and Senator Scott Dibble!
