I think if they don’t rig it up so that the loon statue across the intersection blows it up with an eye laser, that’s a real missed opportunity. #IncrediblySaintPaulSpecificSkeet #Sorry #MoveHereThough

Quietly working, decade after decade, to connect Minnesota farms with urban folk in the Twin Cities—meet one of the most interesting food folk in America, because this is what steadfast community service without notice looks like in practice: mspmag.com/eat-and-drin...

Interesting, what happened in Q4 2024?

Whoa, wtf

How to win in November

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

A Saudi official saying this on Al Jazeera, a Qatari media outlet, is far more telling than any nugget of information carefully leaked to an American media outlet. This war will permanently alter the relationship of the Gulf states, the US, and Israel.

It comes down to this. You can certainly take care of your own and keep your head down to keep only them safe (btw an academy kid was taken from Madison, so it didn't protect them). But you cannot then claim unity when you did nothing to support your community. You made a choice.

Trump seems to be playing a very nasty game of F*ck, Marry, Kill.

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

Hello, the bell tolls for thee!!!! @thepwhl.com @minnesotafrost.com

Yes, they all have to wash their hair that night, I'm sure Trump has heard it before.

Hmmmmm, let's check the records of both teams, shall we?? Since 1998 (because, you know, THEY'RE GIRLS and weren't 'allowed' in until then) W: 3 Gold, 4 Silver, 1 Bronze. M: 1 Gold, 2 Silver. Should I compare the Soccer teams also for the people in the back??

HELLOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! @schumer.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @smith.senate.gov

Yesterday was in Isanti County, maybe the reddest place I’ve been during the ICE occupation & there was a church with a big ol’ trans flag & people inside full of love & resolve & lemme tell ya, there is bravery everywhere in this fine state.

After months of relentless rapid response in Minneapolis, members of Defend the 612 had a moment to breathe and reflect on the lessons they’ve learned, the grief they carry, and the citywide fellowship they hope will endure. The crisis is not over, and I’m grateful they made time to speak with me.

the Black Panthers were right

@npr.org This is a powerful fundraising tool, which I'm sure, after you exploit, you will remunerate this reporter accordingly.

I was at a campaign event yesterday & a politician friend made this very important point to me: we can talk about all the different MN elections in Nov, but none of them is as close and crucial to fighting fascism than reelecting Keith Ellison

No policy in the world can justify scarring children the way we’re doing in the name of immigration reform, writes Heidi Stevens.

Amazing! The #Minnesota #Craft & #Art community is spectacular, so talented! #TheOccupation

This visualization of daily activity of ICE is unreal.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

The numbers do speak for themselves. In fact, our neighbors know this because they feel it on the ground. They expect us to do more. How about you stop telling us behind closed doors that we shouldn’t fund immigrant legal assistance, rental assistance, or support for our small businesses!

This this a thousand times this. The foundation of almost every problem we have is a wealth inequality problem (which also ties into this country’s particular history of racism and white supremacy).

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Clearly "white foodways" is some version of Watergate Salad or really much of the 🎶"Minnesota salads that aren't really salads🎶" oeuvre 😂 www.instagram.com/reel/DHrqTmC...

something from minnesota that i would like people to learn, that i don’t think is hitting people yet: helping MN is good. people need it. but people in your community need mutual aid too. care. resources. food. outside of times of crisis. and you can help.

Lots of emotions and questions following Homan's announcement. But the thing I keep coming back to is this: We cannot go back. We must take this moment, reflect on the power we discovered, and build a city that is stronger, more caring, and more connected. A city that can do this can do anything.

If Schumer and Jeffries weren’t such weak and compliant losers, they’d insisting that extra funding, and more of DHS’ budget, go to repatriating all the people wrongly transported across the county and to repaying for all the damage ICE has casually inflicted on multiple cities.

It ain’t over til Minnesota has ICE’s battle flag

This article was on 01/25, Homan said today 7,000 were arrested. Are the other 3,000 dead or released? Hmm? www.startribune.com/10000-undocu...

You know how they were able to recover the video of intruder from Samantha Guthrie's mum's entrance from the camera? She didn't have a subscription to store that data. So how did Google have it? That should give us all pause. The #SurveillanceState is here. Who has access to it?

“This is not a marathon, and this is not a sprint. This is a relay.”

From the Star Tribune/Kare 11 69% of Minnesotans believe ICE should be reformed or abolished 66% of Minnesotans believe ICE has gone to far 67% of Minnesotans believe there should be a path for legal status for undocumented immigrants www.startribune.com/poll-trumps-...

I’m a little surprised the USA isn’t doing better in the Winter Olympics after spending the last year proving how great they are at going downhill

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

When will the MNGOP call for this occupation of our Metro and State to end? Y'all have power and agency. Time to use it. We will remember in November.

Minnesota is currently under an economic blockade. So @amyklobuchar.com what are you gonna do? How many businesses are we going to lose without a bailout?

#Minneapolis #TheOccupation

I'm a born and raised NYer, lived 3 blocks from the WTC and lived 9/11 up close and personal; I now live in Minneapolis. The strength, support and resilience of the Minnesota community is unsurpassed. MN wins hands down, everytime. Ever thankful I found this place.
