Wind and solar are the two biggest resources on the Midwest’s electric grid (MISO) right now. Never seen that before :)

“When private, app-based autonomous services compete with transit, they reinforce a two-tiered system: premium, individualized mobility for those who can afford it, and underfunded buses and trains for everyone else. Public policy should strengthen collective systems, not undermine them.”

ICE is still tearing families apart.
My friend, Daisy, who I worked with at City Hall, and her siblings had their father taken from them last week.
They are all here in Saint Paul. He is in El Paso.
Please give if you can. She is the best.

outstanding day to work on taxes. really feels amazing.
Here's how shameless Elizabeth Shaffer is. She killed a plan to build a ramp here, and cost us the million dollars in federal funding that would've paid for it. Then a year later, in one of her final acts on the park board, she took a victory lap on the adoption of a plan with no money behind it.
I love to see that multiple cities along the proposed route want this corridor studied. How nice would it be to take the the train to Northfield? Des Moines? Kansas City?

We’re still seeing ICE going in and out of the Whipple building. As long as they’re still here working to separate families, we need to make sure people are out patrolling & keeping watch.
We don’t accept their behavior happening here or anywhere else which is why all of DHS needs to be dismantled

"They disrupt seamless access around the city and reclaim space, block by block, for people to connect and build solidarity. And, from what organizers say, they seem to work."
Ending this operation is not enough.
We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.
It's corny as hell but the solution to fascism is loving thy neighbor

That critique of the government extracting resources from PR. The power poles.

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY.
There was also a 71% drop in air pollution.
