Biking is for Everyone

[Kyle Stokes @kystokes]

RIGHT NOW: The Minneapolis City Council is debating a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza & end to U.S. aid to Israel — with a huge crowd on hand, filling both the chamber and an overflow room.

The language here is incredibly sensitive, and they're making amendments now.

I’m gonna give 10 random people that repost this and follow me $25,000 for fun (the $250,000 my X video made)

I’ll pick the winners in 72 hours

[Tommi 🦖 @sentinel47]

Ok @MrBeast I’d love to be chosen 🖤

@ziibiing I just put in an order for totes and stickers. What a great idea! Love your work over the years, especially this 🩵

I have more than 2 songs? I just learned something today.

[Aaron Carr @aaronAcarr]

"Research shows it costs taxpayers $31,065 a year to criminalize a single person experiencing homelessness while the yearly cost for providing supportive housing is $10,051."

TIL that Zombie Nation song that's been played in arenas and stadiums for 20 years is based on music from a 1984 Commodore 64 game

July 24, 1978: Olivia Newton-John was the guest of honor as Olivia, Minn. celebrated its 100th birthday. Her only appearance fee was some fresh bread and two dozen ears of corn to take home. (@StarTribune File)

As a Marine Corps veteran and a gun owner, I've seen first hand the damage weapons of war can inflict. They unequivocally do not belong in the hands of civilians. To argue otherwise in the face of ongoing carnage is outrageous. #GunOwnersForSafety

God help the legislative bodies spending this much time, energy and taxpayer money to hate on trans kids. Enough already.

[Tommi 🦖 @sentinel47]

Gov Spencer's veto rationale - great ex of being data-driven and also compassionate.

56% of trans kids attempt suicide each year.

"I want them to live...the research shows that even a little acceptance and connection can reduce suicidality significantly."

[Gillian Branstetter @GBBranstetter]

Utah's Republican Governor Spencer Cox, as he vetoes a ban on trans athletes passed by the state legislature, notes 75,000 high school athletes and only four are transgender. "Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few."

[Tommi 🦖 @sentinel47]

Ugh. Apparently we really just can't have nice things. No one injured, Acadia closed indefinitely. GoFundMe link in thread.

[Mike Rez (Blue Check Mark) @mikerezradio]

Not good. My son just witnessed a U of M bus crash into Acadia. He stayed and said no injuries and the two employees inside are good.

[Tommi 🦖 @sentinel47]

Astute.

[Trista Martinson @TrisMartinson]

Thrilled to tour 603 Edmund yesterday and see the tremendous work done by the Community Stabilization Project, Ramsey County, and our partners to bring this house back from the brink and save a family from displacement. Thanks to everyone involved in making this a reality!

Yo, Melo is live tweeting his jaunt through (familiar turf) downtown St. Paul's skyway system, and I'm here for it. Engaging commentary as always @FrederickMelo!

[Frederick Melo, Reporter/Axolotl @FrederickMelo]

I declare Savannah and Christian to be the “It” couple of the downtown St. Paul skyway system this Valentine’s Day. Say what you will about students in the skyway (loud, walk in packs, etc etc) but at least they’re lively/here keeping (some) eateries afloat. Where’d everybody go?

[Sahan Journal @SahanJournal]

Starting in the next school year, Eid will be a school holiday in Minneapolis, Hopkins, and Mankato. Muslim students say the change will eliminate the need for them to choose between traditions and schoolwork, and signifies recognition and respect.

@BreeMinneapolis I quadruple like this.

[Tommi 🦖 @sentinel47]

Huh. COVID is cancelled.
Iowa Gov says so 😅

[Gov. Kim Reynolds @IAGovernor]

Today I'm announcing the end of the Public Health Disaster Proc, effective 11:59 p.m., Feb. 15. The flu and other infectious illnesses are part of our everyday lives, and coronavirus can be managed similarly.
