not a single cerebellum quantified 😭

Maybe the real future we left was the friends we made along the way

what's up, A Bar of Their Own?

never has minneapolis needed to celebrate the sun coming more than at the end of winter 2026. ICE are not gone completely, but we still won, and it was incredibly cathartic to see this ceremony at mayday about protecting our neighbors, grounding why we did this work. i love this city

inject it

My wonderfully talented wife, director of ballet co.laboratory, is putting on a show this weekend at the Ordway about the life of Freddie mercury. It is queer and joyful. I am so proud ❤️

UMN give me 15 million dollars. I will give you several better slogans for free and then disperse the 15 million to important research and educational efforts that are actually part of your mission.

What happens when you add electric guitar, high energy vocals, and upbeat percussion to your ballet? For ballet companies, they hope it adds up to a lot more people in the audience. Here's the story of two companies, Twin Cities Ballet of Minnesota and Ballet CoLaboratory. kfai.org/10000-fresh-...

Absolute Queen behavior from the Zamboni Rider today at the Minnesota Frost game. No ICE No War No Kings No Fear.

Had a lot of fun teaching the first year students about the cerebellum today! Opened with the Powerpuff girls, how the mayor was absolutely useless and horrible at his job, but his assistant was essential, ran everything, and kept the town afloat. Her name was Ms. Sara Bellum. Got audible gasps!

me every single day

Anyways I’m crying

"I don’t know that we need to take a podcast statement from Bhattacharya as settled policy. He says a lot of stuff on podcasts, only some of which is likely actionable or will be actioned. But it is well worth keeping an eye on any signals that ESI preferences will be scaled back."

The KM Lab is hiring! We're looking for both a new technician (makes a great post-bac like experience) and a post-doc. Come do fun science. Come join an amazing community. Learn more: sites.google.com/site/krookma...

“All along the way, the community has stepped up with our whistles, with our cell phones and with our bodies to defend our neighbors,” Communities United Against Police Brutality president Michelle Gross said. “But what do we see from our public officials? They have utterly failed us.”

Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

This is all due to the incredible resistance of the people of Minnesota. Their resilience - and their determination - helped enforce the Constitution in a way that political elites in Congress and the courts did not or could not. I have never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.

Operation metro surge is ending but operation “go fuck yourselves you fascist pieces of shit” will continue forever.

The gestapo (theoretically) leaving with their tails tucked between their legs is NOT the same as returning our neighbors, fixing our communities, paying serious reparations, and making sure those fuckers face justice for their crimes. But, boy does this feel (cautiously optimistically) good

things have not changed here. please, if you’re not in minnesota, do not look away. please prepare where you are. this is what they’ll do to your community next.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

This is scathing. Kash Patel and anyone else involved in this must be impeached. Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/us/renee-good-investigation-minnesota-trump.html?unlocked_article_code=1.KVA.pAnP.FE6p37Nwd1TA&smid=nytcore-ios-share

Reminder there are still 2000 active goons destroying our city and kidnapping civilians to such an extreme extent that kids cant even go to school normally

Pop singer Lorde will donate the $204,000 she made on merchandise sales from her sold-out Minneapolis shows last fall to two Minnesota immigrant rights groups.

Brewery workers, bar owners, and union organizers in MSP are setting the mark on how to actually care for their community, rather than just invoke as a buzzword. At @vinepair.com, I reported how their work doubles as a playbook for colleagues nationwide whose homes may face MAGA sieges soon enough.

Just to provide a brief respite from the horror, this week's episode of Radiolab is truly wonderful and worth a listen (even if you might not love the cerebellum as much as I do) www.wnycstudios.org/story/song-o...

YES

My first R01 has officially been submitted. I remember working on my K99 during May 2020 thinking hopefully I'll never have to write another grant during such chaotic, uncertain, and frightening conditions. January 2026 said "hold my beer."

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Ilhan Omar is an American hero. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

So for Dems, the win is: reiterating 3 things that are already law, 1 thing that is a best practice, and 1 thing that was already a rule up until 6 months ago? From the bottom of my heart: fuck off with this. And they didn't even include ICE out of hospitals, healthcare facilities and daycares.

Bovino's gone but it's not over: they're ramping up. They're going to use Fort Snelling for "parking approximately 300-500 vehicles . . . a ready room space for 500-800 CBP personnel . . . access to a magazine to store munitions."

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Three days after my grant is due? IT'S LIKE YOU KNEW AND PLANNED IT JUST FOR ME

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

for me it was the fact that the author is one of the main driving forces behind the global movement to kill my trans friends and erase their existence hope that helps

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

A very special fuck you to the 7 so-called Democrats who just voted to fund this Nazi kill squad shit.

Hundreds of people are walking towards the federal paramilitary who *just murdered a guy this morning* with their hands raised. The courage of people who live here is stunning.

Minor point here but Eat Street, where this happened, got that official nickname because it's lined with restaurants from all over the world. It's a beloved symbol of immigrant cultures and a place that showcases pluralism in a state (wrongly but frequently) stereotyped as a land of low-key Swedes

This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.

Sayre: "My background is in international humanitarian response in conflict zones in Yemen, Haiti, Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine. What I've seen here is what I've seen there. A powerful entity violently and intentionally terrorizing people."

The whole of Congress should be descending on Whipple right now.

Training is irrelevant when all you’re here to do is kill. Please, for fuck sake, grow a goddamn spine.

DO SOMETHING RESEMBLING ANYTHING, TIM

I feel sick

Paige for Governor.
