Lives in Minneapolis, does Math and spoon carving He/him/his
I have money and my job is as secure as anyones, but my neighbors getting kidnapped sure doesn't put me in the holiday spending spirit.

It is okay to feel sad, scared, or upset when bad bills move forward. But don't let yourself get lost in grief. Find community. Lean on care. Stay organized. Keep pushing forward. Our people need hope. Our youth need hope. But everything about our history (and present) tells me to stay hopeful.

Parent-teacher groups shouldn't have to be organizing food drives and delivery so that students families don't get kidnapped by the government.

I never know how to react to the latest news, so let me just say one more time: immigration is good. It helps immigrants and it helps native-born people. It makes the world richer, culturally and financially.

To clarify, the ancient Greeks were very concerned about making money, and were mostly rational interest-maximizers in the way that modern people are; but the point of making money was to live well, not to continue accumulating money.

I read a book on making money in ancient Athens recently (by Michael Leese, it's great), and the Greeks absolutely believed that the endless pursuit of wealth was a serious moral defect and personality issue no different than being a drunk or sexual deviant.

Our son needing more milk than my wife made was *extremely* traumatic. We still have frozen breastmilk in the freezer and he's 9 (she can't bear throwing it and I'm not going to)

Anyone who has paid a moment of attention to spouses or friends who have gone through nursing and lactation knows how very fucked up it is to shame people for "choosing" formula.

Biggest overspender for 2025: MPD is projected to be 19.5 million over budget. Boosted from $226m to $246m. Biggest underspender: The department of Neighborhood Safety will be nearly $11 million under budget. Over half their $17m budget.

Aurin Chowdhury rebutting Michael Rainville on his "defund the police" accusation. MPD has done nothing but ramp their budget off the chart. And then overspent that budget by $20 million. "That's the opposite of defunding the police. So let's give it a break."

When my son was a baby he was sick - we had finally gotten him comfortable and asleep. Amazon was piloting its food delivery business (sorry, didn't know the downsides at the time) and delivery was free. My wife and I ate Hola Arepa on our bed. Perhaps the best tasting food in our entire lives.

Jon Collins is always right in the thick of things. He was there in 2020 and heās there today. One of the main reasons I tune in to MPR. Anyway, these anti-ICE tactics are working, even in the dead of winter.

This is why it is also all pointless. The racists are too late, they aren't going to win. They are just going to cause a lot of suffering in the meantime.

95% of MN Somalis are US citizens. 58% were born in the US. The only reason to target this community with immigration agents is for the sake of racial profiling and harassment - which the US supreme court says is legal now.

Of the 80,000 Somalis who live in the twin cities, only 4000 are non-citizens. And the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of those 4000 non-citizens are NOT undocumentedāthey are here legally. There is no immigration issue to enforce here. I know racists don't care about this, but these facts do matter

We did a lot of stuff outside, particularly with a group of 4 boys all the same age as my son. We still do get together that same group but not as often. Life tends to get in the way - the advantage of that time was life was basically paused in other ways

The only antidote - and I do mean the ONLY one - to Trump and Miller's xenophobia is a full-throated defense of immigration and a full-throated attack on the racism and xenophobia currently guiding immigration policy. You can't half-ass this one, you can't Very Reasonable Limits this one.

I like and drink alcohol. My husband works at a place that is primarily a bar. I'm not against alcohol! But in general, consumption of alcohol being down is a positive for society, not a negative.

I'm inclined to agree with people that find Turkey/pie/etc discourse boring. Until I get sucked in... It did occur to me that food arguments are a standard type of small talk in person too.
