No one knows for sure where we'll go from here. One thing we do know is the last time things were at this level, ICE shot and killed an immigrant behind the wheel of his car. Every pointing incident is a breath away from becoming another death.

Light rail tracks over 35W and the colorful Riverside Plaza near Downtown Minneapolis. Have always loved this spot!

WOW. The New Jersey AG has charged an Essex County Prosecutor’s Office sergeant for allegedly stealing a photojournalist’s camera equipment while the journo was at a hospital being treated for injuries she suffered outside Delaney Hall. The bag had an air tag and was tracked to the cop's house.

this is how i feel every time i see a katherine heigl diaper ad

🎶 Moving wicked and bad, put the money in the bag 🎶

the things the delaney hall photos and vids are making me feel in my body WHEW

MN History Center gift shop is too good. get me outta here

low-key stressed about the number of engagements, parties, fêtes, meetings, and hangs I have this weekend with all my friends I met fighting ICE

a wish sandwich (bread and mayonnaise and you wish there was something else)

I’m an elder millennial who retrained my side part AMA

finished Steinbeck’s East of Eden yesterday and this quote exactly describes what it’s like to meet another minnesotan while you’re on vacation. “Rabbit greeted Cal effusively, as a country man always greets an acquaintance in a strange place.”

my 7yo won’t stop talking about how the Traverse City airport is so much cleaner, nicer, and better than MSP

texas roadhouse meal prep

another beautiful day of looking at screens ahead of us

this is so crazy lol

when I’m working in the yard I like to put all the japanese beetle grubs I find in my bird feeder and eventually it looks like a fucking horror movie and then the next morning they’re gone truly one of my warm weather joys

Note, this chocolate milk mix should not be confused with "Milk Mates", an ad campaign from the 1960's by the Dairy Farmers of Canada, promoting a variety of foods that could be paired with milk at parties (what?), such as a "Cheese n Frank Loaf"

if, like me, one of your favorite warm weather activities is standing on the corner like a dumbass watching something be demolished, 31st and Hennepin is the spot

Name a song with "girl" in the title but replace girl with squirrel if you'd like: Anthems for a Seventeen Year‐Old Squirrel

there’s a commercial that shows a woman using amazon health to diagnose herself with mastitis and the whole commercial, tip to tail, is fucking disgusting. everything about it makes my skin crawl.

the cheeseburger in paradise at the mall of america margaritaville is better than it should be

I hate this dumb mushmouthed motherfucker. Like really, really hate. He makes my skin crawl.

“Critics on social media have bemoaned the consistently high level of executive pay while travelers are being squeezed on prices, with CEO Ed Bastian’s most recent pay packet worth just over $27 million in 2024.” and now you can’t get a coke on a flight from MSP to escanaba pfft

excoriation culver’s

marijuana growing subreddits are full of people who fucked up their grows because they asked ChatGPT what to do. more LLM casualties 😔

people who live like this are infinitely happier than any billionaire

Luden’s Super Nut (1972-circa 1986): Chocolate-covered peanuts, with a superhero peanut mascot named, well...Super Nut. They were made by the same folks who gave use those ubiquitous cough drops and 5th Avenue Bars

this is so good, funny, and interesting. really captures how weird it is to be a kid

someone let my dumbass constituents know it’s actually my job to go on podcasts and getting pepper sprayed detracts from the mission

Wanna Be A Baller samples Prince’s “Little Red Corvette” making it the perfect anthem for my two hometowns: Houston and Minneapolis. “‘Prince gave us the OK, he loved how we did it. We ain't paid Prince a dime. He gave us props, he liked how we did it,’ Lil Troy explained.”

the visitor center at Gooseberry Falls has a lot of info about the Civilian Conservation Corps camp there during the great depression and it seems so cool! they built a bobsled track!

gotta hand it to Whole Grain Milling, their tortilla chips have been $5 for the past 15 years.

part of the key to @benoney.bsky.social’s professional success. I tell him tales of being a woman in a predominantly male environment and he’s always so horrified lol

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

“all’s well that ends well” mmm no i don’t think that’s true

For the last 6 months we have watched ordinary people put their lives at risk for their neighbors while the powerful retreat in cowardice. Just regular folks pummeled with chemical weapons and shot dead in the streets fighting for what's right and good. There are heroes all around you. Find them

“One striking aspect of the last few years, especially since Trump returned to office, is that elites are often more timid and willing to surrender, despite all their power and protection, than a lot of the rest of us.”

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

I love this framing. Refusal works. We have agency when we refuse and it’s empowering to refuse. We strengthened our refusal muscles in MN against ICE and I’m going to keep using them. “And what’s particularly interesting to me is how the politics appear to be moving from rejection to refusal.”

I love this sooooooo much. Infinitely lucky to have grown up in Houston, specifically the Montrose. I think much of the good in me comes from having been raised in Houston. It’s easy to love humanity when you’re raised around a mass of interesting and interested people.

how has a Minnesotan never told me this quote was said at the Minnesota State Fair?

HCSO and Freshwater covered the “Ice-Out” on their whiteboard that accompanies their annual post about ice out on Lake Minnetonka.

is this cuckoo forward-face baby wearing a one month old

what’s striking about this piece to me is what fucking losers these agents are and how fucking badass and brave civilians are

It's hilarious because the premise of America is literally "fuck Europe" but all these people suddenly care what the Europeans are doing. I don't. Long live the United States.

fun fact: a kitkat bar or chocolate covered pretzel are not candy as Wisconsin defines it! it’s stupid as fuck to try to legislate stuff like this. what’s this difference between a muffin and cake? gatorade and Sprite? agave and corn syrup? who cares!!! it’s most efficient to mind your business

Trump’s department of ed trying desperately to get me to leave the SAVE plan is so funny to me. lmao come and take it, losers

if you own a Wagoneer in the state of Minnesota, you are no longer allowed to be a shitty driver! I don’t make the rules!!!
