call that KC barbecue, cuz she’s got sauce and it ends burnt

In our modern information environment it's often hard to know what's true but a shortcut that will never fail you is: this government is lying until proven otherwise. An accusation against them of corruption, sadism, criminality, is probably true

I have a Stand with Minnesota volunteer opportunity for people who speak Spanish and want to help get folks home from detention. If you are interested, please DM me for details!

If Barron isn’t subsisting on ramen and forced to wear off-the-rack suits, we will have failed as a society.

The foremost task of the next Democratic administration needs to involve seizing every red cent these fuckers have to their name and putting it toward reparations for the lives they’ve destroyed.

Shop owner in a Minnesota town of 14,000 people 3 hours from Minneapolis: "You can feel it, the sadness from town. There’s no people walking around. You go to the stores, and they lock the doors now. You’ve got to wait until they open the door for you. It’s not normal."

This is the Minnesota version of Punxsutawney Phil

*If* the federal government actually retreats in Minnesota, I will never, ever let anybody forget that it was the people, not the courts, that made them do it.

i can’t stop thinking about someone who was following an ICE vehicle in norwood young america. brave as hell to be doing it in an area like that

ICE out of Minnesota is just not enough.

The ICE surge must ramp down as quickly as possible so we can get on with important recovery efforts, such as purging from public life anyone seeking statewide office who thought the federal government brutalizing Minnesota was a fine idea and just what we deserved.

In honor of our new state motto…

“Taking slavery seriously in American history is not anti-American. The story of slavery in the U.S. is about an ancient institution that…thrived here, and [then was destroyed]...The destruction of slavery is one of the great American achievements,” says Sean Wilentz, a historian at Princeton

Damn. Granted, I have no idea how this business model works, however, I think physical model still have a place. I’m kinda 1/2 convinced that a lot of NIMBYs are they way they are because they can’t visualize projects in their mind and maybe a physical model would help them be less hostile

Be careful, folks. ICE is still out there, circling the schools this morning. Even if this withdrawal is happening over the next week, some of the agents want to get their last bit of being shitheads in.

Wife was able to stop by for some free banana bread and sent me these pics 😢

MSNOW can't get enough of our heartthrob mayor. Which means we are the spouse watching our man be delightful at a party while thinking, if you like him so much, take him home with you.

In “the biz” using multiple drills like this as the same time is called gang drilling. The fact that ancient Egyptians were doing it is phenomenal!

When did humans start using drills? “A new study reveals that Egyptians were using a mechanically sophisticated drilling tool far earlier than previously suggested” (about 3250 BCE). It’s the oldest known rotary drill 🔩 you guys! www.austriaca.at?arp=0x0041300e

The bathrobe ICE news photo from Saint Paul reminds me of the Visby Window at the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis, depicting the Battle of Visby, Sweden in the year 1361

I'm pretty proud of this poem I made out of the euphemisms that companies used to describe the ICE occupation in corporate communications. Also read the whole story: racketmn.com/corporate-co...

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

Ok, Wonder Man is a surprisingly good series!

Kids frantically pushing aside the new Pokemon and Mandalorian LEGO sets in Target to purchase the ANE MÆRSK container vessel

It’s a beautiful night to talk about why we need to #BuildTheTunnel

Kind of think that locally we’re entering into a political moment where the idea that someone in public office credibly claiming they are a more complex or pragmatic thinker than the average citizen has become untenable. The only question will be what did you do.

Society does not make it easy, but I *highly* recommend making friends with people both older and younger than you. Like, not a few years but full decade +. The opportunities to learn from and support each other are so much better when we're not all IN IT in the same way at the same time. 1/2

Story time (and a request for jokes): a couple weeks ago a guy, clearly on intentional daily walks, started passing me every day. He seemed like he was walking angry, like walking to relieve his urge to burn the world down, so I left him alone at first. Then a few days ago I said “hi”, and he

Just going to note again, because somehow we've all completely retconned this and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, that pound-for-pound Biden had one of the most draconian border security regimes of any U.S. president ever, second only to Trump, *many of whose policies he inherited and kept*

I am wary of any politicians doing a victory lap today before we’ve seen on the ground that ICE has left. Their surety makes me think that they negotiated something and I think they owe it to us to be as transparent as possible about what that is.

i'm a fan of "ice out of mn" because i think the right of the people to reject the fascist occupying force is very important but yeah it's not "go terrorize someone else" it's "ice is illegitimate everywhere it operates"

The War isn’t over & we’re not done protecting our neighbors. But tonight? We’re throwing an impromptu party. Come dance. We’ll buy your first round. Fuck ICE.

SMALL MEN OF BITTER DISPOSITION HAVE FROM TIME TO TIME DARED TREAD THE HALLOWED GROUND OF THE GREAT LOON BUT IN THEIR FOLLY NONE MAY MATCH THE GREAT FURY OF THE DARK AND RED EYED SPIRIT THAT SPREADS ITS WINGS IN JEALOUS CARE OVER THOSE WHO DWELL HERE. BLESS THE LOON. FEAR THE LOON.

MNDoT is going to regret not letting us name a plow "Abolish ICE" from here on out, that's the moderate snowplow name. We have moved on to "Fuck ICE."

ICE invasion made an epic use case for anarchists and abolition.

UPDATE: He was just released. This shows that just indiscriminately took someone because they were Latino. Their illegal tactics continue so we still need neighbors to patrol, observe, and support our immigrant community.

We have a inter-agency team working to estimate the rental assistance need across the state due to metro surge, but I'm curious from a qualitative perspectice how folks are dealing with this. Are landlords threatening eviction action (either formal or informal)? Are some even willing to negotiate?

Buddy, you’re gonna be as well remembered as Neville Chamberlain

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Ending this operation is not enough. We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

Cannot believe how far the bar has been lowered but this somehow feels legitimately useful to hear out loud. Because what virtually every single Minnesotan is doing is simply recording, saying words, and possibly using a whistle. That is virtually ALL anyone is doing as the feds claim "escalation".

I’m absolutely gutted. Groundswell was genuinely the heart of Hamline-Midway. I will miss having the literal best banana bread and the literal best biscuits and gravy I have ever had.
