As a SoCal raised kid, Minnesota was one of the most welcoming places I’ve ever experienced. Snowmobiles, sushi, Thai food, samosas, hot dish from the neighbors, it was so much more metropolitan than what I expected. Yeah, it has its regressive parts, but the cities are the American dream.

Everyone at the yarn store in Woodbury buying red yarn for this pattern (or the knitting one) I could cry payhip.com/b/Kvzab

I don't know whether it is the #1 Catherine O'Hara accomplishment but the fact that she invented a manner of speaking that no other person in human history has ever attempted for Schitts Creek and made it seem realistic that her character would talk that way felt like a comedy miracle to me

Thinking off all the people caught up in the Dipshit Dragnets of this week, and hoping you can have a steely determination in your eyes that terrifies every LEO you see, because these charges are baseless, your community has your back and you know we are going to win.

I cannot deal with this today or ever oh my god no

love when there’s a newspaper profile of some psychopath that points out they allow themselves “a lone vice, like a single cup of black coffee in the morning.” personally I am a bundle of trash glued together by vices. they’re all load-bearing

I have been laughing at this for a solid five minutes.

Just got my first Klobuchar for Governor fundraising text so that just ruined my day Can I Stop2End her texts and her running in this election pleaseeeee

If you're from outside MN and feel weird about sending a "Hope you're okay!" text to someone here, don't. Haven't talked since high school? Ex-coworker from 6 years ago? Already sent one a week ago? Doesn't matter. Every time I get one it's a big relief that people are paying attention.

Good golly my mom had to yell at me for saying, “I hate America,” when I was still like 15 years old omfg catch up you dorks

Yall ever pull out a warm string cheese in your pocket and eat it anyway

me? oh yeah, fine. I'm doing great. just sort of left my body for a second to observe the current moment and my place in it from a high angle, sort of like what I imagine you'd see from a spy satellite? but one that can look through time? but yeah, I'll have that report done by the end of the day

a reporter asked “is mutual aid a form of resistance?” and i felt my body pulled into of a room of movement elders who have made this seem like a question i don’t have to think about to respond of course of course mutual aid is an expression of love love is an act of resistance

Related to my last reskeet, I really wish my coworkers weren’t negative 24/7 because it’s draining as hell. I need to recharge from their crap AND handle what’s happening in here. I’m gonna lose my mind.

I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it: Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

To be clear, abolish ice is a compromise position at best. I also want the DHS dismantled. And am in favor of open borders. Anyone who talks about "coming into the country the right way" probably doesn't have common ground with me.

Promise? This would really expedite making more community connections.

[On a date] you wouldn't believe how many HDMI cables I have

agree with everyone saying dems need to press this advantage and oust noem, miller, and put the screws to vance. they all lied publicly about the killing and are vulnerable now that the administration is retreating. there’s blood in the water! could be a real turning point!

Call your senators more. Any vote for ICE just makes the next Bovino. And it has never been more popular to ABOLISH ICE.

Good, but far, far from enough. Keep pushing.

May the good people of El Centro never let him know a moment’s peace and torment him with constant reminders of his atrocities til the end of days.

They are rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic thinking it'll fix the hole caused by the iceberg. But we are the iceberg.

Driving to my 9 - 5 office job, listening to punk songs about anarchy, smashing the state and nihilism.

I don’t even have that, “shoot, I think I’m forgetting something,” feeling anymore. It’s just constant static in my head

I need to know what my coworker does that requires constant bursts of typing (punctuated by slamming the enter key) for almost an entire work day. I feel like I am slowly going insane.

it's surreal to be living through events that you absolutely know are showing up in history textbooks all over the place in 20-30 years

lmao, everyone in the building trying to balance not ruining the moment of silence with the desire to be the first to yell “Fuck Ice!”

I actually think the conference championship games should be played at a frigid, possibly snowy neutral site every year. like the Rose Bowl but for Tough NFL Football

Everything going according to plan

*waving hi*

They are trying to criminalize everything we do regardless of whether we have a constitutional right to do it, so you might as well hop in.

So now two murderers were not just part of “Trump’s ICE” but also “Biden’s ICE” and for Ross, even ”Obama’s ICE”

My voter registration says: Fuck you Pam eat dirt and leave us alone you pathetic hack looking forward to when you get disbarred and you’ll never know who I voted for you unhinged weasel byeeeee

We need to find out what they're doing in those detention facilities that they won't allow members of Congress to visit

You guys are eating?

thankful that bluesky doesn’t have drafts so that there’s no evidence of shit i’ve almost posted today

Rest in peace Alex Pretti. You will be remembered as a hero. I saw my immigrant neighbors out tonight mourning. You’ve touched the hearts of our immigrant community. We will not rest until justice is served.

If it’s worth anything, Tina Smith’s voicemail is full?

Yes. Alex & I are from Green Bay. He was in my district & only a year ahead of me so people I knew at Preble could have known him from theatre or football or my friends met him when our schools had games. We both sang in choir. He’s a hero for his bravery & I’ll carry that that forward. Go Hornets💚💛

How can you help Minnesotans right now? Call your goddamn Dem Senator and tell them you will never vote for them again if they do not shut the government down over this. If you have a republican, call them and call them fucking cowards.

She never prosecuted a single case related to police brutality when she was Hennepin County attorney, but for everyone else, she pursued heavier sentencing and less favorable plea deals, and sought to bring more cases to trial. Anyways just things to think about when she tries to run for governor.

I turned 37 this month, and both victims were 37. I hope get to turn 38 for all of us.

You can't train your way out of this. You can't reform this. They have made it very clear that civilians are their enemy. The only way forward is to abolish ICE and put every single person on trial for their crimes, from top to bottom.
