Owámniyomni Okhódayapi just announced the Dakota-led design for the restoration of five acres at Owámniyomni (St. Anthony Falls), adjacent to the Upper Lock on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. Project construction is targeted to begin in spring 2026. Very exciting!

As sad as this is, I’m really grateful to live in a darker state on this map.
Still abysmal vaccination rates across the board though, so let this be my quarterly reminder: COVID isn’t over, we’ll see another wave this winter, and the 2 simplest things you can do are get 💉‘d and mask up as needed.

About 1 in 4 American adults got a covid vaccine shot during the 2024-25 virus season, a fraction health care experts warn could be smaller this year as millions wrestle with conflicting advice from the government and trusted medical orgs about the value of a shot. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Dramatic reading of this testimony when and whomst
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

I’m raising money for Groveland Emergency Food Shelf, a South Minneapolis nonprofit that provides emergency groceries for those in need. They’re currently struggling to keep up with demand, and they’re getting their first $16k in donations matched.
I’ve got $50 on it! Can anyone match me?

Barf. Here's the "Team Mpls" plan to “address climate change.” No mention of getting off fossil fuels. Nothing on electrification. Nothing on renewable energy, transit or building housing near transit. Just trees and carbon capture(?). This fluff could have been written by the Koch Bros (1/2)

"I'm a senator from Minnesota and I don't usually endorse in mayor's races, but I'm super-enthusiastic about Mamdani. The way that he has mobilized voters, the way that he is unafraid to propose big ideas and big solutions ...There's a lot for us to learn from that," says @smith.senate.gov.

Last pepper haul for the season. Had hoped to get some more color out of this batch, but will take what we can get. Just happy to have one more round of shishito pepper + red potato hash for the year. Until next summer, lil shishitos. 🫡

Massive green tomato haul today. Sadly just wasn’t time for all these puppies to ripen (weird summer for tomatoes, this was).
But not really sad at all, because all of these will become a delicious, cozy canned green tomato curry to enjoy all winter long 😍🍛

Feels like we're gonna need laws about not making ads with nonconsensual AI video of your opponent, like yesterday.
I know Cuomo doesn't understand consent, but like--anyone making an AI video of another person does not understand consent.
And given how many people are doing this, that's grim.
