We call our porch gatherings “stoops” & have hosted them since we moved into our house. It’s one of the best things about Mpls homes.
A front porch or an apartment balcony is like the open arms of a home welcoming interaction between residents and neighbors. www.startribune.com/mn-front-por...

All regional offices are being shut down and the research program destroyed.
It's beyond offensive.
An arm of the federal government - ICE - created fear in our communities. As a state government, we should step up to help in ways that we can. The MNLeg cannot stop ICE, but we can and should pass increased rental assistance to help people stay in their homes.
I ran for the House to create a more resilient MN.
A big part of that is building more homes, esp. w/i walking/biking/transit distance of everyday destinations.
Given this unjustified & destabilizing Iran war, building that resilience is even more important.

It was funny to hear the after interview commentary.
I can definitively say: No, a potential GOP reaction did not for one second figure in our decision to make this trip via e-bike.
The ride was about living our values. Plus, biking is just fun!

Shout out to @ktbriggs.bsky.social for being the BEST legislative assistant! He raised the bar for the role, esp as we got to nerd out on transit. I thanked him for his work w/ a cake featuring @metrotransitmn.bsky.social metro lines. I wish him the best @ his next stop as a MNDOT transpo planner!
It’s happening!

A middle ground between private homes and public streets, front porches have made a steady comeback in new home construction.
House DFL Leader Zack Stephenson blasts GOP leadership for suggesting people 'chose to stay home’ while ICE was terrorizing Minnesota:
“When you’re forced to stay home from work because you could be arrested based on the color of your skin or the accent you speak with, that’s not a choice."
