That’s a lot of places on strike. Very telling that the resistance is overwhelmingly being put up by the service industry. Where are the white collar workers?

when she brought up Kennywood on ep 2 I lost consciousness

this is what I mean when I bang my drum that the rest of the country's perpetual underestimation of Minneapolis has real-world consequences, and it's why I've never had much patience for the "indignant Minnesotan" stereotype

Not to sound like kind of an angry person at the moment, but all of the Philly folks being like we would do this differently. What exactly are we Minnesotans supposed to be doing differently? People are putting their bodies on the line against the full force of the federal government.

This is Minneapolis: You go to get takeout at one of the local immigrant owned restaurants. You lock and unlock the door for people going in and out because they are understaffed. When you get home with your order, you find two desserts you didn’t order in the bag with the rest of your order.

Today's good cause is the Cedar Riverside Protection Alliance. Their Venmo ID is CRwork26. Let the donating begin.

I MISS MY CITY

americans love replying to this post with their regionalisms and it makes me a little maudlin because it's such a display of americans loving being american in a time when america is not loving them back

Very happy to amplify this message, but this bothers me every time I see it: The city population is irrelevant. ICE is not operating solely within the city limits of Minneapolis. Minneapolis-St. Paul is the 16th largest urban area in the US. Roughly the same size as Seattle and bigger than Denver.

Folks on the ground are asking me to lift this up because the need is still growing, all around Minnesota. If you can give, please do, and if you can't, please amplify!

Pow Wow Grounds coffee shop, which regularly becomes a community hub when Minneapolis is in need, are still in need. People doing ICE watch/rapid response are using it to organize, rest, and refuel. Often for free when people donate food and coffee, for those who can't afford to buy from the shop

they just have got to face real consequences and it needs to be soon and the consequences need to be devastating for each of them personally

i am the supreme dumbass: I just walked my dog to the pharmacy to pick up my Vyvanse, and on the way home completely absent-mindedly I truly threw that Vyvanse right into the first trash can I passed, and didn't even realize I wasn't still carrying it until I got home

another good reminder that frey sucks and has always sucked and no amount of press conferences with cusses can change what his actual actions are

I will never forget showing up at the 3rd precinct in Minneapolis the night after the grand jury let Darren Wilson off for the murder of Mike Brown in 2014. Mike Brown should be 29 now. god...

Minneapolis is so fucking beautiful

too many people seemed to learn the wrong lesson about minneapolis from the George Floyd uprising–— that it is just a bad, place with racist cops. the real lesson should have been that people in minneapolis actually care about their neighbors and are willing to do something about injustice.

Chicago 🤝 Minneapolis Having to defend our city from both snobs and rednecks simultaneously

I just don't know how to even fucking think about this anymore. I'm so proud of the relentless, unwavering fight Minneapolis always shows up with to defend our people, but I'm sick of Minneapolis having to be resilient.

You all already know what I think about municipal plowing so I’ll just add: we don’t get be “Bold North” or Winterapolis, or get cold place bragging rights if it’s only for people who drive cars. That’s it. Montreal and Quebec and Winnipeg are showing us how it can be done, we have not even tried.

Urbanists will talk about how cars are a machine that makes you selfish and crazy, and I know it’s easy to roll your eyes at that but if you give drivers the ability to comment they will say “yes I am selfish and crazy”
