The Jack of Kingfield

If Hell is the Dupont Circle metro station, sign me up

$75 Billion put toward public rail would forever change dozens of US cities

That block needs a bar that is either cowboy themed or entirely based around short jean shorts

People were literally calling 911 about ICE abductions in progress and keeping it as vague as possible because MPD would not come if they said it was ICE (“my neighbor is being assaulted and abducted by 4 men”)

If you want to get away with murder, just make sure no cops are there in that moment. Who knew we had such a huge loophole

Just off the top of my head: the disabled woman who had her shoulders torn when ice pulled her out of the car, the man who had his skull smashed in by ICE, the 6 month old who was flashbanged and stopped breathing

Minneapolis remains steadfastly defiant

More neighborhood protest art

High yield daylight savings account.

They keep being shocked when people they attack don’t just roll over and accept it: Venezuela, Greenland, Minneapolis, Iran.

The fact that people have their own desires and beliefs is somehow completely foreign to them

“It funny that you wanted us to wear masks to prevent deaths in a pandemic but you don’t want us to wear masks when we kill people in the streets”

I can’t believe I have lived here for a decade and did not know about this street til this year

It looks even better in summer, courtesy of google streetview.

Can you imagine how nice this would be in the summer? Kids can run from your home to the playground without needing to fear cars.

I would like to officially propose this for the 94 redesign: Milwaukee Ave 94.

Instead of all SFM, apartment buildings and businesses could be included on this pedestrianized street, similar to Barcelona’s La Rambla

MILWAUKEE AVENUE HISTORIC DISTRICT 1970s: Rehabilitation of the Historic District By the 1960s, generations of heavy use had taken a toll on the houses. Fewer families remained. Many homes became rental properties for students and artists. As front porches were enclosed and deteriorated brick was covered with stucco, the area's architectural integrity further diminished. A 1970s urban renewal plan called for demolishing nearly 70 percent of the housing in the surrounding neighborhood, including every home along Milwaukee Avenue. A grassroots group, the Seward West Project Area Committee, fought to preserve Milwaukee Avenue and won its listing on the National Register of Historic Places. With public agency funding and their own sweat and labor, homeowners restored the houses. The narrow street became a pedestrian way. Today, Milwaukee Avenue serves as a Seward Neighborhood landmark and a unique example of Minnesota's social heritage.

Do you know about Milwaukee Ave in the Seward Neighborhood. It is 2 blocks of a completely pedestrianized street with a playground right in the middle. It is one of the coolest blocks in Minneapolis.

Yes “yay we got another one fired” followed by business as usual

Friends from outside Minnesota have asked me if there are celebrations in the street over Noem being fired. To anyone not in MN: no. people are still buying neighbors groceries and collecting for their rent and patrolling. If ice is abolished or trump dies, then mpls will celebrate

Good point!

Do they make the crop top version in mens?

I have spent many a night outside my bed, standing guard at local stores in -20 because Noem’s rough men were doing violence on trump’s behalf

A source in the Twins org told me that they are working on a response to the sick Saint’s St Paul resistance jacket.

The source said the clothing item would “blow the corduroy right off those East-of-the-Mississippi hicks’ backs”

They saw budlight, failed to realize that budlight’s issue was pissing everyone off by disavowing support for trans people + people not drinking bad light beer as much. They also failed to realize that their clientele is mostly liberal leaning women while BL’s was mostly conservative men.

Man, Target had an opportunity to come out strongly against ICE. They could have, I think, fairly easily recaptured a lot of goodwill they lost and would not have lost many customers.

I remember being impressed with their statement post George Floyd’s murder. Sad that they became cowards or worse.

Commissioner Abene, I am writing you once again to ask that you support open parkways around the uptown lakes this summer. I don't envision a near future where residents won't be scared of potentially being abducted by ICE. Please help keep our neighbors safe and allow the lakes to be enjoyed by ALL minneapolis residents opening the parkways to noncar traffic and putting more space between residents and the roving ICE vehicles in our neighborhoods.

Great minds…my follow up from a week ago

It has been a month and she has not replied

I have no idea why I started following you but now I know why I will continue to. Keep the chickens coming
