“You should be angry. You must not be bitter. Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. It doesn’t do anything to the object. So use that anger. You write it. You paint it. You dance it. You march it. You vote it. You do everything about it. You talk it. Never stop talking it.” Maya Angelou

My university administrators censored a student who put “environmental justice” and “communities disproportionately affected by climate change” on an Earth Day flyer. I really have no words to express my anger and disappointment anymore

0 for 2. It's almost like JD isn't a strategic genius - or even a passably effective statesman - or something. (Otoh - given what this administration is trying to accomplish, s'okay if they keep him in charge of the efforts.)

This just crossed my inbox via a public health professional association. Thought folks might be interested in their reporting. joelmalbers.substack.com/p/current-ic...

Is he going to nuke them? How and why did we reach a point where that's not an unreasonable question?

I'm going to pin this post and start sharing fund requests below. Note that in most cases, I do NOT know either the person raising funds or the folks in need personally. They are coming from trusted contacts or established organizations or I wouldn't share them, but use discretion in your choices.

Just saw a post linking to a fundraiser for 100 Minneapolis families still in need of rent assistance. We may no longer be in the headlines, but there are thousands still in that situation and locals are getting tapped out. If you see a request and can, please help.

Really lovely photo essay about the people of Minneapolis. projects.propublica.org/why-minneapo...

Dear neighbor, The City Council will be voting tomorrow to decide whether we purchase a property to build a shooting range and training facility. This project would cost over $38 million. I will be voting no. 1/

www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0... "New Wall Street Journal (!!) investigation finds the department is increasingly turning its wrath on U.S. citizens, punishing them for simply filming or observing officers." @mprnews.org interview with one of the reporters.

He’s wagging the dogs, he’s wagging the cats.

Saw some claims that this is AI. The source, Creatures of Resistance, says not. Hope that's true (but, they don't credit the artists or other images, so...). Note: I flipped the image per comments that, in the original, the loon was facing the 'wrong way'.

Wish I'd seen this sooner but think there are folks here who will be interested... Search by zip code/location to find local MN businesses. www.iceoutshoplocal.com

While a lot of this is covered elsewhere, I think it's one of the most comprehensive round ups of resources and info I've seen. www.theconsciouscitizens.org/mass-deporta...

Another opportunity for folks to help Minneapolis. Already shared the Salt Cure Fund which will help to support restaurants and service industry workers. Minneapolis foundation is launching another to support other small businesses. www.minneapolisfoundation.org/stories/gran...

@mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social - Preserve video from city cameras through the duration of ICE operations in our city. Our safety and ability to seek legal recourse should NOT depend on neighbors with phones. We paid for these systems (over our own objections) - use them to keep us safe!

Is that too much to ask??

@adamserwer.bsky.social does a great job of conveying what's happening on the ground here in Minneapolis and how it feels - while also putting it in a larger context. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Republican candidate in MN's governor's race, Chris Madel, exited the race on Jan. 26, saying he cannot support the national GOP’s “stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.” www.startribune.com/chris-madel-...

NRA and other 2nd amendment/gun rights advocacy organizations challenge federal statements on Alex Pretti's murder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Begging journalists to learn the difference between a "tragedy" and a "travesty." Alex's murder was the latter. Say it.

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

FOR FOLKS WHO SAW/REPOSTED INFO ABOUT A VIGIL TODAY - Mirac is regrouping given ongoing conflict in the area. The vigil may be relocated or postponed. Previously circulated flyer is no longer accurate.

watching @kare11.bsky.social for livestream but @guru-merc.bsky.social just showed a man who had been tackled to the ground saying he is not armed, unable to move, having trouble breathing LIFTED ONTO A PICKUP TRUCK AND TAKEN AWAY BY FEDERAL AGENTS. @kare11.bsky.social needs to cover that!
