isn’t a world that gives us that half time show so much better than whatever the worst people alive are offering as an alternative

I’m getting old. That made me cry.

I love sports commercials. Commercials for the Olympics make me FEEL SOMETHING.

Great night to talk about one of my favorite topics: how cool Michelle Wu and Katie Wilson both are.

Nothing has changed here. So you might ask - how will we know when things have changed? For me it’s all the kids back in school.

My bestie @lydamorehouse.bsky.social volunteers here. They're doing a great job feeding neighbors in St. Paul and they need financial support.

Help out if you can?

Dems talking about affordability but not structural democracy reform makes me feel like I’m going to lose my mind. We’re not going to get economic justice if we aren’t willing to reform our democracy. It feels like I wrote this ages ago, but some thoughts: open.substack.com/pub/mollycol...

Peggy Flanagan at today’s DFL Elected Officials Convocation: fighting back against ICE isn’t a marathon, it isn’t a sprint, it’s a relay.

I volunteer here! Please help out if you can.

Molly is 100% correct! ZCC & @thetcvcc.bsky.social have scaled up incredibly to meet this moment.

I know that everybody is absolutely overwhelmed by the need right now, but I want to let folks know about Zion Community Commons. They’ve been feeding our neighbors in Saint Paul and across the region for years, and right now they’re getting food to thousands of families who can’t leave their homes.

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government. But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

This is exactly what we should want from our long time local businesses. They own their site. They want to stay in business. But they recognize the site could handle much more density and they want to help make that happen. Love Abbott Paint & Carpet for this! www.twincities.com/2026/02/05/s...

Free agent guard Mike Conley Jr. plans to return to the Minnesota Timberwolves, sources tell ESPN. The sides are working on timing of him re-signing. Conley was traded twice this week – to Chicago, then to Charlotte – before being released and allowed to rejoin the Wolves.

Sharing my comments from yesterday's introduction of this legislation: For months, federal agents have terrorized our community under the color of law and the cloak of anonymity. www.twincities.com/2026/02/04/n...

My cousin Deeq!! Read about his work in the midst of this on-going nightmare and then come check out his show on February 20th. www.minnpost.com/artscape/202...

Axios had a story today about how hard Minnesota’s economy is being hit and how slow the recovery could be. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to say that if you want to support the Twin Cities, you should plan a visit for this summer, spend some money here, & see how amazing it is for yourself.

If my caucus is any indication, Democrats in the cities currently occupied by ICE want the whole damn thing abolished actually.

Same sd62.

My eyeball count was 150ish people from our precinct. I'm bad at estimating, so nobody should hold me to that, but it was a LOT.

SD64, too! (We in Ward 4-Precinct 4 stuck around and closed the place down, to boot!)

Same in SD64 -- so much energy, Minnesotans are fired up

Literal line out the door to get in over in SD65!!!

Every people pleaser you know became an alternate tonight.

Sadly, I have a personal ask: ICE kidnapped a staffer who works at my grandson’s daycare this weekend along with two other family members. Can you help the extended families with legal costs & famity support? It would mean a lot to me. I’m just sick about this. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Every time I read somebody talking about how !!moms!! are organizing right now—just a bunch of unsophisticated politically apathetic ladies!!—I want to scratch at my eyeball with a tiny fork.

Excited to join Tina Smith in caucusing for @peggyflanagan.bsky.social tomorrow! www.youtube.com/shorts/qYxv_...

Good morning, Minnesota! 💙 As the brutal ICE occupation of our cities enters yet another winter month, we've made another round donations: $5000 to the Minnesota Immigration Law Center And $1000 each to five local rent relief / mutual aid funds:

Re-upping for the morning crowd. On the news from over the weekend that a temporary restraining order isn’t coming to save us…just like the courts aren’t coming to save us. open.substack.com/pub/mollycol...

Some quick thoughts on yesterday's ruling in Minnesota v. Noem. open.substack.com/pub/mollycol...

“With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike, it is so ordered.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

ICE is quietly reshaping daily life in greater MN, too. In Willmar, more than 1,200 of 4,000 students were absent recently -- both white and BIPOC, teacher Tammy Knapper says. ICE detained a 19-year-old student for five days. Trauma takes the place of learning. Something must change. #edmnvotes

For your Friday night consideration.

One theory as to why Republicans lost 96–4 in the most recent election in Saint Paul is because they’re too racist to even tell their caucus-goers the correct address.

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution. This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American. They must be released immediately.

Along with independent journalist Georgia Fort. Don’t let her be written out of this.

Kids taken yesterday Journalists already arrested today ICE patrolling around Falwell Hall and Dinkytown this week Nothing has changed.

The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort show how far Donald Trump and his administration will go to shut down every check on their power. They’re going after journalists, and they’re distorting the legal system to make it happen.

I had a chance to talk to @theguardian.com about how nobody in Minnesota is being fooled into complacency by seemingly empty words from the president. The work doesn’t end until ICE is out and there’s true accountability for the immense harm that has been done. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

@mollycoleman.bsky.social, bringing *all* the receipts, on the myriad institutional & judicial failures that have brought us to the brink, including the plain and simple truth that "to date, the only effective check on Trump has been the power of the people."

Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino…there are evil men in the story of what’s happening in Minnesota. But there’s also a legal system that’s made this possible. I wrote for @ballsandstrikes.org about how structural change is the only true path forward. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

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.

Congrats to @megl.bsky.social on her overwhelming win! Results: electionresults.sos.mn.gov/results/Inde...

“Vance's remarks are the antithesis to the neighborism of the Twin Cities, whose people do not share the narcissism of being capable of loving only those who are exactly like them.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Today! Vote if you live in 64A!

I love my neighbors! I love the Twin Cities!!! I love Minnesota!!!!!!

This will be a fun election tomorrow because she came through a really stacked primary, defeating several highly-qualified people, and tomorrow just has to get past some guy who wishes it were 1980. If you want a labor lawyer in a state legislature you can celebrate this one.

YO! My fellow 64A residents! We get to vote on Tuesday! I think that’s a very fitting way to celebrate that little Nazi leaving MN!
