Does someone have a resource about air quality? It makes my eyes itchy and gives me a little ol WHEEZE but no one else seems to care when it’s bad?

In summer 2025, then MPD-Chief O’Hara signed a federal Joint Terrorism Task Force Agreement that placed MPD deeper inside an FBI-controlled system where federal officials could deputize local police, direct investigations, control information, and pull MPD capacity toward federal priorities.

Missing the simple days when someone would’ve already made a Twitter account for the pigeon on the court at the French open.

I’m like a little mad at how good his comms team is…still!

This afternoon, an ICE vehicle parked in the Powderhorn Park neighborhood near George Floyd Square. I appreciate how quick our neighbors continue to respond to these agents that keep showing up to our neighborhoods in South Minneapolis. Don’t forget your whistles! Jason Chavez 1/

I am rooting for the Spurs because I like Wemby so much but I also just love to watch Jalen Brunson play basketball. Read: I am SO glad The Thunder aren’t in these finals.

I told a firefighter he was in the Free State of Phillips today and he laughed and said he’s from The Almost Free State of Uptown I can’t stop LOLing about it.

38 people were loaded at onto today's ICE Air flight at MSP, the highest number we've seen since the end of Metro Surge. All of today's detainees were men, mostly Hispanic, quite a few were construction workers. Stats for ICE Air operations in Minnesota: ottergoose.net/ice-flights-msp/stats

If someone came and told me the place where my dog likes to run around and poop and pee was a cemetery and they’d like it if I didn’t let my dog do that there anymore, I’d be like “yeah word, sorry about that. Didn’t know it was a cemetery! We’ll go somewhere else. Sorry again.”

Jalen Brunson has now scored more points in the NBA finals than Joel Embiid.

Heads up Minneapolis folks who may be thinking of going for a swim or a paddle at Lake Nokomis - there's a blue green algae advisory that can be especially risky for kids and pets. I also am once again asserting that the chain of lakes area would benefit from more rewilding and less golf course.

Go Spurs (Taco Bell crowd)

I can’t stop listening to “my way” by Frank Sinatra am I ok?

I’m hyperfixated on getting B and I some e-bikes due to all the @wedge.live bike propaganda. I have not ridden a bike in years. Don’t know how much to budget. Where does one procure an e-bike (500lb or higher) and e-tricycle (450lb or higher) respectively? Needs to have the weight limits listed.

Was that so hard? newrepublic.com/post/211199/...

Anyway!! Happy Pride, queers. You kept so many safe this winter, like you always do, and always will. I love you so much. 💕💓🌈

If someone tries to explain to me the reasoning behind this I will scream. I wish it was in their face.

I hate it when emergency vehicles don’t turn their sirens off when they drive down our residential street past midnight when there is NO one around. WEEOWWWW SRY IF UR BABY IS SLEEPING. Like I get it, you gotta alert the ppl, but the ppl are inside and asleep.

Jalen Brunson climbing Wemby's body to defeat him like it's Shadow of the Colossus

To my #DFL friends filling up the bars in Rochester, please remember the "L" is for labor and tip these servers and bartenders very generously. Someone just walked into a busy bar and asked, "do you have a party room we could use?" That's not how that works, bud. #tipyourserver #MNDFL

Heading out to a DFL party!

@jchavezmpls.bsky.social Ran into Yvonne at the MN Immigrant Movement thank you dinner tonight and she said I should tell you this: I'm doing a conference talk in London this week in which I speak about you as an example of what leadership that takes care of your people looks like. Here is the slide

Watching a sobbing Wemby is healing. Go Spurs!

eat shit okc!

Yesterday was 2026's 102nd ICE flight at MSP. 25 people, in shackles, were flown off to Louisiana or Texas. This isn't unique to Minnesota - scenes like this play out every day across the country - ICE Air regularly flies to every city/airport on the map below.

Should I go to a party tonight with B or should I stay in the hotel and watch the spurs?

Absolutely same. I’m a ride or die for Steve Simon.

Reporting from the DFL convention: I had dinner with my friend from high school during the auditor endorsement and am pleased with the result.

DFL ENDORSED PEGGY FLANAGAN!!!

Peggy is nominated by her husband, who choked up midway through. Peggy is endorsed by acclamation to loud and intense cheers and chants of "peggy peggy peggy." I'm crying a lot more at this convention than I expected to be.

The delegates of SD<redacted> have been fed their yummies for lunch. ☺️

AND IT WAS AN UNDERSTATEMENT

Sunrise on this day in 2020. Lake Street & Park Avenue, I-35W and Nicollet Avenue. Minneapolis May 30, 2020

I would absolutely hate being a delegate but I love to be a Part of Things. I am delighting in my role as gopher and woman who will be having dinner with a friend.

The People’s Girlfriend hath been summoned.

You cannot silence the People’s Republic of CD5!

marvina haynes, vice chair of sd59, is here at the DFL convention her brother marvin haynes was prosecuted by amy klobuchar when she was hennepin county attorney in a wrongful conviction for a murder that was vacated in 2023. he was awarded $4.5 million after spending 2 decades in prison

At his best, a man who made a TERRIBLE mistake that cost someone their life. Yeah let’s pour one out…..🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

The delegate’s girlfriend is also up.

The delegate is up!

Oh also a guy saw me picking my nose while I was driving and it was very embarrassing. I was trying to pop a tiny nostril zit. I know that actually makes it worse.

Ok DFLers. Take a little shower, crawl into the hotel sheets, & get some rest. You’ve got continental breakfasts & party business to attend to in only a few hours. The girlfriend of democracy has decreed it! Good job today. I am very impressed and grateful for what you are willing to endure!

So far my experience of this is: 1. Spending more than I was expecting on the hotel 2. The hotel not having enough spots in the garage and not saying anything until after I paid for parking lol 3. Waiting for my disabled partner to let me know what he needs which I figured would be: …

What you won’t hear from the reporting is that it was apparently VERY WARM in the civic center.

I have banished the delegate to the shower. He is sweating like a lil piggy.

Reporting convention hotel: delegate has returned, drenched in sweat, and is very crabby. Duh!
