New study finds 'cycling rather than driving is positively associated with political participation, social participation in organizations, neighbourhood solidarity, and neighbourly helpfulness (i.e. the common good).' 📕: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We ran this full-page ad in @nytimes and several local papers today. Human drivers aren't good enough. America can do better, and it is time we fully embrace AVs.

This is a terrific explanatory thread about the predatory behavior of dollar stores, but it's the predatory pricing element that may seem counter-intuitive. We PROTECT consumers by preventing big corps from getting sweetheart supplier deals.

1. Hello. Dollar stores are an invasive species - multiplying out of control and suffocating local ecosystems. In a new report, we show how they harm communities, the tactics they use to crush small shops - and how policymakers can help. A big thread. cdn.ilsr.org/wp-content/upl…

When Amara Strande was just 16, a 15-pound tumor was found embedded in her liver. Nearly the size of a volleyball. She was one of many students at Tartan High School in Oakdale who got cancer. Students joked about the water fountains, saying, “Don’t drink the 3M cancer water.” 🧵

Jim Schultz, Keith Ellison’s opponent for Attorney General has spent his time protecting corporations and joining anti-abortion groups. But he doesn’t have any courtroom experience. What he does have though is this sick beat and music video we made for him.

Rep. Aisha Gomez is a fantastic legislator. Connected to community and goes deep on policy. Get out and vote for her in 62a.

Hey Minneapolis, the primary is THIS Tuesday, so here is your reminder that @RepAishaGomez has a primary challenger and needs you to show up and vote! And if you are on the left, anywhere in Minnesota, you should get out the word to people in 62A to vote for Aisha, too.

The more people that choose to walk, bike and take public transit to get around, the better cities work for EVERYONE, including DRIVERS. Anyone still claiming this is a “war on the car” doesn’t understand how cities work. HT @fietsprofessor for graphic.

Some Minnesotans, especially those with low incomes, pay up to 30% of their income on utility and energy bills. Households often must choose between buying food, paying healthcare costs, or safely heating their houses. Energy burden &housing (in)stability are intricately linked.
