No joke I think Minneapolis should keep their flag & folks need to just fully lean into its weirdness. Come up with funny alternate items for the quartered circle. Make up a Pride version. Stuff like that. Embracing a (non-offensive) weird flag is better than coming up with too slick of a new one

Families at Adams Spanish Immersion could sure use the help!

Even for those who have no empathy for those affected by the federal terror campaign against the state, spending a short-term state surplus on the economic damage it’s done, like food and rent and medical care, will make the longer-term outlook better.

Hey y'all, is there a minnesota group that helps trans folks moving to Minnesota with relocation funds, etc?

Currently tearing my hair out because I adopted an urgent rent need for a family that needs to pay $3050 RIGHT MEOW to stay out of eviction court and then I got an urgent request from another rent fund and there’s $320 left in my Venmo account. So much need and I wish I could be everywhere at once 😭

How do you do, fellow Saint Paul dad patrol dads?

Thrilled to announce a new partnership between Minnesota Aurora FC and @artsmia.bsky.social! For our 5th season, Mia is designing a new kit in celebration of Minnesota and community. Official kit reveal April 2. Plus, artful activations all season. Learn more at mnaurora.com.

@printrunpodcast.bsky.social slash @headwaterlit.bsky.social (aka me and Erik) are doing a query drive to raise money for Open Market's shelter-in-place program, located at Zion Community Commons in STP. They're in the middle of an urgent fundraiser for $43K to just stay open. We want them to grow.

This is absolutely heinous. Everyone who has cared has been saying for a decade that bathrooms and middle school soccer were just the way in, just the beginning. That’s why you fight. I am so sad and so sorry. Praying for wisdom and speed for the lawyers.

idea: what if the people with the most power just *helped* other people instead of hurting them i think that one weird trick could fix a lot of things and we should try it for a few months or even centuries

I'm never not angry. I spent a decade meditating to (successfully) handle my own internally manifesting anger and it feels so unbalancing to feel anger all the time again. I have to constantly remind myself that "no, it's OK, it's actually super reasonable, you aren't regressing, the world is"

HCMC is the trauma center where Renee Good and Alex Pretti and the children from the Annunciation shooting were cared for. They have the 24/7 hyperbaric service other hospitals send pts to. They house the regional poison center. They are our safety net hospital. We need them! We have to support them

Join neighbors across the Twin Cities hosting a week of action starting today to get ICE out of Minnesota. This includes trainings, protests, eviction defense, art activities and more. Learn more here: melttheicemn.com Jason Chavez 1/

they essentially promised him needed accommodations (editing, no mic) for his condition, and not only didn't follow through, but instead did the opposite. BBC stole the dignity of so many people that night and turned what should have been a celebration for everyone into hurt, shame, and pain

This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

this stuff doesn’t even phase me anymore. at least once a year i get a letter that amounts to “hello, it’s FuelCorp - in 2017 you used one of our gas pumps. your social security number is now on the dark web.”

Governor Walz (651) 201-3400 MnDOT Commissioner Nancy Daubenberger (651) 296-3000 We have been in the streets for months. Nobody has commented on the Rethinking I-94 project, how could they? Extend the comment period until June and then pause the project. Let's see some safe, reparative designs.

This is truly cruel. Tourette's is difficult to begin with, this must have been enraging. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/fe...

We’re looking at generations of harm done. Abolishing ICE should be the conservative position at this point. Take their budget and use it to start trying to make amends.

I didn't watch the SOTU, but did see the clip where Ilhan Omar sticks up for herself. In this world of so much fakery and posturing, it was a rare real moment to see a member if congress fighting back authentic tears and setting the record straight. Trump ordered the killings of her constituents.

ACLU MN reported yesterday that the federal government filed sworn statements that there are 970 agents in Minnesota for Operation Metro Surge & that 407 agents will remain here in March. It’s important to note this is on top of the 190 agents that were already assigned before this surge started.

Headlines declare it over and donations are down, but people are in crisis. The people I know, *my neighbors*, everyday people, are working around the clock to make their community stays housed and fed, utility bills paid, bus stops checked, lawyers found, kids’ birthday cakes delivered.

Minnesota thanks you @ziibiing.com! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I will never forget this man’s name and he shouldn’t get to teach future lawyers anywhere. In a just world, he’d have faced actual accountability for what he wrote justifications for.

Heard today there’s a severe translator shortage for regular immigration appearances at Whipple. Does anyone know if there‘s a community effort (à la Haven for released folks) to supply translators for these hearings? If not it sounds like we desperately need one.

Raiders of the Lost Jorts

Here is one suggestion: CUT THE POLICE BUDGET! We've proved that we don't need them, they don't need all their fancy military weapons. They CERTAINLY don't need overtime unmonitored. Just say no to ovpaying police in cities!! Also cut the Public Safety Comissioner position - worthless role

if you want to help you can donate to rent funds at standwithminnesota.com and you can help shout

i am so tired of screaming from the rooftops that we have a looming, avoidable crisis of evictions brewing. everyone knows it, but yet government and philanthropy have no solutions. unpaid volunteers of rent funds are doing the work that the people who control the purse strings refuse to do

“I have a work permit. I'm doing things correctly. Even so, l am trapped here. Not because I'm running from the law, but because I've seen how the system often doesn't even respect its own laws, deporting people who are in active legal processes and keeping entire families living in fear.”

dropkick murphys are playing like four blocks from my house

BALL IS IN YOUR COURT, @mndot.mn.gov

Hey, Twin Cities...I can't make it to this but you should go

Germans are allowed to do something about this and would be completely morally absolved for doing so.

St. Paul Public Schools parents group needs about $63k more to keep 174 families housed. March is soon, rent will be due. Can you chip in? Can you share?

So, ok, you have the bravery to stand up to a line of tanks, to risk your physical body. But do you have the bravery to stand up to social media pressure? To risk your reputation as a savvy insider? To stand up for unpopular groups? To *care* when caring is cringe?

The most gauche country in the world. why the fuck is the FBI director in Italy drinking with the hockey team when there are millions more Epstein Files? Does he have this much time between private flights and obstructing MN justice? oh wait, I know why

#uglydogs especially. This goes to the Senate for a vote this week. The BWCA is a precious wilderness. Minnesotans and the visitors who come from all over the world to spend time here deserve to have this resource protected. Please call your reps! www.savetheboundarywaters.org/action-center

This doesn't seem worth having a Discord account

This is what they do to retiree English puzzle enthusiast ladies. Imagine what they do to others. There is no option other than abolishing DHS & ICE. End it entirely and prosecute prosecute prosecute. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Texan shot dead by ICE agent months before killings in Minneapolis, records show - The Texas Tribune ICE/CBP killed Ruben Ray Martinez months before Good. The lies they spout to hide the murder are eerily similar apple.news/AEGNNjXUYS_2...

This is intentionally choosing to expose Black babies in one of the poorest countries in the world to a very transmissible virus that can cause long term liver damage for no reason, but to appease a cohort of white anti-vaxxers.

Does anyone have any recommendations for history books about the Roman Empire? I’ve been thinking a lot lately about America as an empire and would love some historical insight that’s not gonna poison my brain.

They are in downtown St Paul at this very moment casing restaurants that close soon and the 3 hospitals. Observer friend was followed home into downtown by 2 confirmed ICE plates this morning. Took her pic and drove away, didn't hide it. This ain't over at all.

I need to buy a new record player cause mine broke. Anyone on here have strong opinions about what I should look for regarding a new one? Would hope to get something that lasts a decade minimum, hopefully longer with basic maintenance.
