In Sikh culture, when the racists started attacking us because they thought we were Muslims, we didn’t correct them and say we were Sikhs because the point is it shouldn’t happen to anyone. As a cis woman, I do not correct someone attacking me because they think I am trans for the same reason.

Peggy Flanagan “Donald Trump and his MAGA republicans don’t give a damn about you. But we got here because too many democrats have been weak.” Standing ovation. “We can’t just be the lesser of two evils. We will never win as the pale shadow of our opponents.”

Minnesota GOP convention just voted to stand for and hold a moment of silence for… killer cop Derek Chauvin. Can’t make this up.

Did Ken Paxton write this?

Here’s where my heart is. Nothing but solidarity to these protesters. Sometimes the only thing that kept me going this winter was seeing messages from other states; I hope one little New Jersian sees this and knows Minneapolis is watching and that our hearts are with you.

Waiting to hear a more disqualifying datapoint about the Ferguson Fall man than that he owned a restaurant called TÖAST

Strib finally publishes the story on MPD wildly overspending to do nothing during the ICE siege: www.startribune.com/minneapolis-... You can compare this version to the one that was pulled: www.msn.com/en-us/news/u... (ht @roblevine82.bsky.social)

Reading the laundry list of O'Hara's bad behavior--including romantic relationships with at least three female subordinates, temper tantrums, witness tampering....and yet, Frey still nominates him for another term?!?!? The bigger story is Frey's failure as the elected solely responsible for police.

6 years ago tonight Calvin Horton Jr was killed at Cadillac Pawn on Lake Street by the shop owner. The shop owner was booked/released and never charged. He sold the shop shortly after. The shop now has the unfortunate sign outside that reads "ICE GUYS".

Well, I'd like to see ol jakey frey wriggle his way out of THIS jam! *Frey wriggles his way out of the jam easily Ah! Well. Nevertheless,

Over on Reddit, Minnesota has taken over the entire nation www.reddit.com/r/geographym...

It’s been a long time since I was vegan but this is the sort of shit that makes me think about it again.

The Ministry of Love was originally conceived in the interest of unity and harmony, and the phrase “Big Brother is watching you” was originally meant to be reassuring.

Not nostalgic at all, but they used to at least pretend to be giving you what you want and now it’s just “this is inevitable,” which among other things, is the language of abusers.

When we fight, we win!

Just experienced the bus only lane going south on Hennepin during rush hour on the 114. Crikey we made good time it was shocking.

This NPR On Point episode about how maybe US universities were too woke and went too far is so bleak and cursed. Utterly upside down land. Students yelling at a professor is treated as censorship and not speech. Not a peep about the brutal crackdown on anti-Gaza genocide protests.

Just saw a Demuth campaign ad on the TV at the Y. Every single accomplishment she touted as to why she’s a great alternative to the dems was just this session’s bipartisan legislation, signed by Walz.

Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

A common comment on my videos about LLM "hallucinations" is that this isn't as much of a problem because LLMs "cite their sources" now. This is a category error. Citing a source implies it was consulted. LLMs do not consult, even with RAG. A citation might be *included* but it's not *consulted*.

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

The federal government is seeking to revoke the citizenship of a Minnesota man who became a U.S. citizen nearly two decades ago.

Minneapolis bike friends: The Midtown Greenway will be detoured at 10th Ave from May 19-22nd for bridge work. Be VERY careful if you have to take this detour on 28th St westbound as I already know of at least 2 people who've been hit by drivers not looking for Westbound bike/scooter traffic.

This morning, a resident was stopped and kidnapped by ICE near 28th and Oakland Ave South. Yesterday, a resident was kidnapped by ICE near Lake and Stevens Ave South. There is also increased activity at the Whipple building this morning compared to the last couple of weeks. 1/

ICE creeping around in South Minneapolis. Keep your eyes out and your whistles ready, neighbors

Nuremberg 2 is a necessity.

amazing piece by @jearica.bsky.social

“The name of [an ICE] officer accused of strangling a man in Fitchburg during an immigration arrest has been revealed in court, despite the federal government’s attempts to keep his identity a secret. The officer’s name is David Jackson, an acting supervisory detention and deportation officer.”

To misquote someone from about 10 years ago on Twitter—this fucker thinks she has better genes than Idris Elba.

A well-reported update on the 15 South American people ICE sent to DR Congo two weeks ago. Trapped in a rat-infested hotel by the airport with no options but going back to the countries they fled. This is what we're doing to legal asylum-seekers who "followed the rules." www.npr.org/2026/04/28/n...

UMN now putting signs up in front of some buildings saying you cannot even bring bicycles inside buildings or store them there or they will be impounded. Incredibly effective way to encourage bike commuting.

ICE has locked away members of our community that have committed no crime without bond. At the South Texas Immigration Processing Center, I met many folks who have called America home for decades and have done nothing wrong while here—and yet they are kept in ICE prisons.

I understand it’s so far from the worst thing our shitty mayor has done but I am just irrationally livid that that joker went to the fucking Trump Party/press bullshit spectacle in DC. FUCK. CORPORATE. DEMS. And their consultants and media pimps. Frey is absolutely angling to become a TV pundit.

Remember how less than three weeks ago the president threatened to kill an entire civilization

The true shocking news of the evening is the welcomed return of the MSP feed. Thank you to the volunteers who run this!

RFK Jr. just said HHS is "cleaning up the risk pool" (i.e., people who are unhealthy) to bring down healthcare costs.

RIGHT NOW -- Veterans are being arrested in #washingtondc after peacefully demanding an end to the War on Iran. @vetsaboutface

Newly released records on the police response to the assassination of Melissa Hortman show officers knew a woman was lying motionless on the top of the stairs inside the Hortman home but waited 30 minutes to physically check on her.

Whatever you do,

In both cases, let’s slop em up

Last term, Council President Payne led the most productive council in recent history. We aren’t stopping this term either. Progressives are delivering. I don’t want to hear about a lack of “priorities” when progressives are the only ones bringing policy and solutions forward. 2/

the idea that vance is anti-war and was a skeptic seems really to come exclusively from vance and is not borne out by anything else in his record as vice president so far

more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out

I guess Orbán can get a gig for the Washington Post editorial board.

Eight Latino New Yorkers and a Syracuse workers' center say DHS agents are stopping and arresting people without warrants or probable cause — targeting brown skin, not criminal conduct. migrantinsider.com/p/arrests-tr...

Today 27 shackled detainees were flown from Minnesota to Louisiana. Every ICE Air flight at MSP is observed by MN50501 volunteers - ICE hasn't stopped, neither have we. Data: ottergoose.net/ice-flights-msp/data/
