we haven’t even talked yet about amy klobuchar coming onstage to a dessa song at the DFL convention 🫠 many want to forget the 2020 reckoning of abusers in the minneapolis music scene also notice them turning down the volume just before the line “but in the room of thugs and rap veterans”? lmao

vibrant lyndale: dirt bikes!!

the uptown association meeting over lyndale ave reconstruction with mayor jacob frey in attendance is going off the rails as residents are unhappy by the business owners presenting they erupted into cheers at the mention of a dedicated bike lane

the owner of knox jewelers says 30,000 drivers use lyndale daily and only a handful of cyclists do so why do we cater to the cyclists? he asks the crowd “how does that make sense?” giving an opening for the crowd to respond with complaints

saed wadi opposes adding a dedicated bike path to lyndale ave because he says the point of biking on that street is to visit businesses not travel point a to point b or you could take another street. bikers can just slow down

asked how she plans to overcome angie craig’s cash on hand advantage in a primary, peggy flanagan says paul wellstone was outspent 7 to 1 “we’re going to have enough money to win. what congresswoman craig doesn’t have is grassroots organizing,” calling her “out of step and out of touch.”

peggy flanagan shows off a hog pin from walter mondale’s 1984 presidential campaign given to her by his son ted (flanagan’s grandmother was involved in DFL and mondale wrote a eulogy for her, making this a full circle moment) “the chicken participates in breakfast but the hog is committed.”
