I’m begging some people to touch grass. Big number make brain go brrrrrrrrr and break

Afternoon, Minneapolis. Today the sun will set after 5 p.m. in the Twin Cities.

Pulling a bottle out of my desk drawer at the detective agency, knocking back a slug of the good stuff

I’m going to the Will to Live store does anyone want anything?

Midwesterners when they hang out be like

A 36-year-old man arrested by ICE agents in Minneapolis on Jan. 6 died in a Texas detention facility, the agency said Sunday. According to the El Paso Times, Diaz is the third detainee to die while facing deportation at Camp East Montana, which opened last August.

I am thrilled to have a full day off work tomorrow because I have had to read way too many racist comments for my liking this past week

Because these international grocers need your support now more than ever, especially during these times, here’s a guide to the international grocers of the Twin Cities that I wrote for @racketmn.com: racketmn.com/guide-intern...

Doug Flicker was so kind and welcoming and sent me home with a butt ton of homemade ranch when I came in to shoot social video and I’m now a Bull’s Horn stan for LIFE

🛷🎨 The organizers say that the Powderhorn Art Sled Rally is in its 12th or 15th year…they don’t really keep count 😆 It was a cold, icy art sled rally and these were just some of the cardboard creations that made it down the hill today at Powderhorn Park. 🎥: Anthony Soufflé

Lately I’ve been doing You’re Beautiful by James Blunt at karaoke and it really makes people laugh in a way I just love

Imagine thinking you can throw your money at any problem and fix it. Pea brain behavior.

this sucks, Albi is wonderful

At Albi Kitchen on the edge of downtown Minneapolis, owner Fardowsa Abdul Ali said her colorful cafe with Somali sweets and sambusas is struggling, ever since a viral video about a nearby daycare showed images of her business and ICE raids began. 🎥: @abbysliva.bsky.social 📝: Sharyn Jackson

As Manny González of "Tortas" fame talked to @nickhalter.bsky.social from his kitchen, the sound of whistles could be heard just outside Midtown Global Market's doors as ICE agents walked by. "They just abducted another person," a market staff person said. www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

Ok for a bit of joy I went to the too fancy weed store in north loop yesterday and look at the packaging!!! Minnesota is the greatest and I won’t be hearing otherwise

People are addicted to threatening businesses they never patronized in the first place as if their theoretical dollar means more than real, actual dollars. Social media makes people have weird power trips.

Can Gmail please explain why the only emails I actually want to read from things I actually subscribe to ALL GO TO SPAM???????

I reached out to the most well-known Minnesota-based companies, multiple times, for comment on what's happening in the Twin Cities right now. None of them responded. Here's my attempt at unpacking why.

It’s a big deal! (no paywall) 🐈

i can't believe they did the "interview day drinkers in rural mn" story www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u...

Good info about the Insurrection Act and what it does and does not allow in here www.startribune.com/insurrection...

Tear gas and smoke filling north and northeast Minneapolis tonight on is a perfectly clear winter night in the city. Keep your windows closed.

There are reports of a shooting involving federal law enforcement in north Minneapolis. We will be updating our live blog at the MN Star Tribune as we get more info. Please consider following local sources during breaking news situations, we are familiar with the area in a way national media isn't.

Witnesses in north Minneapolis reported a series of gunshots that followed a car chase involving federal agents Wednesday night.

Here is a lovely story about Renee Good by @kimvhyatt.bsky.social and @cvondracek.bsky.social : www.startribune.com/renee-good-f...

“millions of people are being radicalized through widely available snuff films of people that— depending on the viewer—they might profoundly identify with, or dismiss as ungrievable.“ This essay unpacks what it does to a society to watch people die on social media.

This is how I’m responding to people who ask “how I’m doing” this month

Gourmet is back and now worker owned?! Hell yeah!

I am going to be participating in Owned by Immigrants Lunch. Get some immigrant made lunch today and let's post our photos at noon CST.

Jaden McDaniels cooks in cream city - a headline I would write if I was in charge of writing headlines

Roughly 80% of immigrant-owned businesses along key corridors in Minneapolis and St. Paul have closed in the past week as employees and customers stay home in fear of ICE agents detaining them.

If 3,000 federal agents land in Minnesota, their footprint will be bigger than the 10 largest metro police departments combined.

God Cream City is too good

he’s reading heated rivalry (no one fact check this)

Immigration agents are choking people in America's streets & using tactics against their own policy/training. Many LEO agencies have banned their use A Colombian TikToker. An ICU nurse. A father holding his child. A 16-year-old citizen DHS calls this "utmost professionalism" w/ @mckenziefunk.com

Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul sue Department of Homeland Security over ICE surge www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Same goes w our videos at the Strib.

I don't think we need the few journalists we have left to retweet videos without substantiating and adding important context. Instead, I think we have a responsibility before we publish something to verify that it's real and that it's true. Every video we publish is backed up by reporting etc.

“A raucous confrontation between hundreds of residents and dozens of ICE agents unfolded midday Monday, in the parking lot of a St. Cloud strip mall that’s home to a number of Somali-owned businesses.” St. Cloud is about an hour + some change drive from Minneapolis (for those not from here).

One thing I stay doing is commenting on Hannah Einbinder’s Instagram posts like she’s my close personal friend

I never want to hear Julius Randle slander again. That’s my Skechers basketball shoe ambassador.

living in a world where the only two jobs are “gambling” and “murder” isn’t nearly as cool as Cowboy Bebop made it out to be

I for one have never been more excited to see negative temperatures forecasted in my life

And this is why I love watching videos @nebula.tv. No youtube censorship!
