This is great! I know everyone’s putting their back into mutual aid, but Mercado Central‘s could still use some love: www.gofundme.com/f/help-save-...

Two breadmakers at rival bakeries who secretly pine for each other. Kneaded Rivalry

The video of Jake Lang kicking over the ice sculpture is one of the most hilariously embarrassing things I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen toddlers have more dignified temper tantrums.

Where’s the eviction moratorium, @governorwalz.mn.gov?

It’s fun having a guy who can just say “I’m not letting us lose tonight” sometimes

A lovely piece of flash fiction by one of my favorite former writing teachers @eliseblackwell.bsky.social

If you only listen to one ep. Of TBL let it be the one. We spend a chunk of time discussing what’s happening in our state and country (in our own little way) and I think it’s really important. We also get into the Mike trade and of course housewives chatter but we love MN and had to speak on it.

Maybe the million and oneth study will be the one that convinces people

Why do we have to be surrounded by shameless liars?

MAGA Man tries to beat up high school kids. Emphasis on *tries*. :)

I’m too old to care about meeting professional athletes in real life, but I really think Mike Conley and I would be great friends.

Mike Conley has been one of my favorite NBA players since the Grit n Grind Grizzlies, and I feel really lucky that I got to root for him on my favorite team. I’m going to miss that.

Given the times we are currently living in, I’m not sure I should even admit this, but I hate potlucks.

If you're not in Minnesota and have bought into the drawdown talk....it's all B.S. The only difference since Tom Homan showed it is they haven't murdered another Minnesotan....yet. We're still be terrorized by the Federal Government and the majority of elected officials seem unable to protect us.

Thank you for your work, @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social. Take some notes, @klobuchar.senate.gov @governorwalz.mn.gov

This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/

Tom Emmer lies about his own constituents: "If you go to my state, the pictures you're seeing of these mobs in Minneapolis, these are paid agitators and protesters. Yeah, you got some Minnesotan anarchists that are in there, but they are people coming from outside our state."

Art has been a balm and a flame through this siege. My friend Greg Larson wrote a poem that hit me in the soul. (3 images)

To anyone who criticizes me for being furious at third-party and non-voters and thinking that means I’m not blindingly aware that mainstream Democrats have at best done nothing and the ultra-wealthy have pushed us here: I can do both.

reminder: Jeffrey Epstein invoked the Fifth when asked about Trump and underage girls

I found the first investigative file from the first complainant against Epstein in 2005. There are descriptions from the officer, over several interviews of the girl, of her pulling her knees up on the chair, drawing doodles, & the officer high-fiving her to keep her calm as she speaks of horror.

And Allison has seen it and shared it!!!Absolutely iconic

How do other Wolves fans feel about a Giannis trade? I love Giannis but I’m not at all excited about trading for him (setting aside the fact that I highly doubt the Wolves can put the best package together to get him)

If Graham can hold up this bill for venal and treasonous reasons, then @amyklobuchar.com & @smith.senate.gov can block the whole spending package until Dems get the GOP to agree to clawback ICE detention funds.

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota. people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights. Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

I’m rooting for Seattle anyway because who the hell roots for the Patriots, but I’ll root harder if they wear their throwbacks.

I’m laughing my ass off at this exchange. Such a perfect encapsulation of the MAGA mindset

Democrats go into every negotiation already giving up the loaf of bread and then asking for crumbs.

Following the Kent State massacre in May 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans thought the shootings were justified. The night *before* the killings, Ohio's GOP governor described the student protesters this way: "They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America."

oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove. people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

STATEMENT FROM THE NATIONAL BASKETBALL PLAYERS ASSOCIATION (NBPA) AND ITS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ON THE FATAL SHOOTING IN MINNEAPOLIS BY ICE

The media should cover sport the way they cover the state murder of civilians: ‘Jannik Sinner appeared to win the French Open yesterday after what supporters say was a comeback from being two sets down.’

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit. They're trying to milk this story for all it's worth.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

This quite literally should be all over the news‼️

🚨BREAKING: Hours after federal immigration officers shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids across the state.

Never thought I'd be fighting side by side with a Bill Kristol, but here he is again saying what too many Democrats in office are afraid to say.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

A Minnesota high school student was nabbed by ICE agents as she was trying to pick up food for her family after work. She was violently dragged from her car and lost her shoes. So, barefoot in the middle of winter, she was put into the back of an unmarked car in a small town (Willmar).

The combination of the image and headline

Does anyone have suggestions for volunteering in Minneapolis on Friday during the strike?

National media covering MAGA event: "Look at this normal person who is mad" (10 seconds of googling shows they're chair of the local GOP) National media covering Twin Cities community members who have never been politically active but now stand watch outside a preschool: "Look at this activist"
