Every year in early July I engage in an existential battle in our yard. I either sacrifice copious blood to the black raspberry canes, or wear enough protective gear that I think I’m going to faint from the heat while picking.

I live in Minnesota so yes of course.

You don’t get to say ‘ICE Out’ during the height of the occupation by the federal government and then support policy that hands ICE more people to deport. Pick one.

Hennepin County has cancelled the monthly outdoor warning siren test today due to the potential for severe weather. If you hear sirens today, assume it is a real alert and seek shelter immediately.

Parents, schools, and sports leagues should not be able to ban trans youth from sports because that is what they think their community wants. Trans youth should not have to hope they are born in the right place at the right time in order to be able to play sports.

Less online spouse got a phone poll in the Hennepin County Attorney race today, and I am begging pollsters who poll Minnesotans to teach their callers to pronounce Nguyen.

The First Aquatennial Was A Blood Bath. On this day 90 years ago Minneapolis police opened fire on striking truck drivers killing 2 & injuring 67. A reported 100,000 people took to the streets for their funeral. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_...

Update on embroidery progress after many hours at the convention yesterday.

Upgraded! Here starts my convention live skeets

Hanging out in the alternate section at Hennepin County Convention with a new embroidery project.

Because the World Cup is about celebrating the beauty of immigrants, we’re donating 10% of our sales today to support the victims of Belfast racist violence. The world supported Minnesota when we were occupied, it’s our turn to return the favor.

Minnesotans- the world stepped up for us. Let’s step up for Belfast. (Payment link in thread)

My loves, please stay doing your business on Signal

Come testify regarding the "Law Enforcement Agency Agreements Accountability Ordinance" on June 3rd at 1:30pm at City Hall (350 South 5th Street).

Shout out to @cedrickfrazier.bsky.social for personally door knocking delegates for the Hennepin County Convention. It was a pleasure to get to talk this afternoon!

Y'all, we did it! Thank you!

We are so close to the goal! 100 books left! This neighborhood school had more than 70% of kids in hiding during the ICE occupation, and many families are still struggling. Thanks to Moon Palace for making this possible.

This benefits a neighborhood school where more than 70% of kids were in hiding at the height of the ICE occupation.

Hard to imagine Sen Klobuchar doing this. Her absence as Minnesotans protected our communities and risked lives for our neighbors spoke volumes.

This benefits a neighborhood school where more than 70% of kids were in hiding at the height of the ICE occupation.

Chief, it’s your job to know. Or to bring a finance person who knows the answers to the meeting. I would never walk into a budget meeting without an understanding and explanation of any overages in my departmental budget.

o’hara says “i don’t know” when asked about MPD supplies being over budget “wonderful,” says chugthai “you can ask me literally every single one and i won’t know,” says o’hara chughtai says the legislative directive was for them to explain why they went over budget

Looked up last night to see this enormous raccoon watching over our backyard. Trash pandas are not so secretly my favorites.

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office has filed charges against Christian Castro, an ICE agent, in the shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis in north Minneapolis on Jan. 14, 2026. He has been charged with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime.

If you guys remember my friend Kyra - she has her kids back!!! She's also #1 on the housing list on her rez but is facing eviction from her current place if she can't make rent by Monday. This is not the first time that housing has threatened to keep her from her kids. $layannajean paypal kkeezer21

I just got a folding bike thanks to a different post of Laura's (!), bu I previously have test ridden this model, and it is very fun!

Amy, this isn’t it.

That’s my Senator! Thank you.

23 Million. OVER. For what?!

This thread is essential reading if you’re confused about all the Minneapolis May Day posts….

ICE never stood a chance against a people that do Mad Max: Fury Road on the regular. Southside ❤️

May Day in Minneapolis always feels like a reward for surviving a Minnesota winter. This year is different. We survived a winter when the federal government sent an occupying force, kidnapped our neighbors, and spent months trying to destroy our community. We’re still here. ❤️

Happy May Day! They didn’t think the Southside could make it and they wanted to break us down but they must not know us. We are still here and we aren’t going anywhere. ¡Adelante!

While Mayor Frey travels the country accepting awards on the backs of immigrants, he’s back in Minneapolis vetoing the very policies meant to protect them. 1/ www.startribune.com/frey-again-v...

Please see our statement on today's actions. While some seek to divide us, our sites are squarely set on a universal childcare system for all of us. #ChildcareForAllMN

Twin Cities BikeSky- Anyone got a couple of lollipop bike racks they’re ready to pass on to a new home? Looking for 2 or 3 of them for a project. Salvaged is fine as long as they’re structurally functional!

i honestly don't even know what to say. why does the city & county hate people congregating? i know, i know--racism, classism, fear of 'other', discomfort. jesus.

Read this whole thread. The community we’ve built together through this is so beautiful.

A brief story: This morning a child went missing on the way to school in my neighborhood. Law enforcement and search and rescue were called, and also the networks we built for ICE Rapid Response. 1/2

Snacks for 40 for a meeting? The cargo bike can handle that. #30DaysOfBiking

Minneapolis Delegates!! It is a profound honor to earn your endorsement!

city convention today was the third DFL convention i've been at in 2026 where cops are called after sd39 and sd63 to deal with two separate men who were known to people at conventions and who were there in bad faith and/or to harass people i wish we could do more to address these threats

Proud that all three earned DFL endorsement today, alongside Collin Beachy and Abdul Abdi. And the city convention ended early and with great rejoicing!

THANK YOU MINNEAPOLIS! ON TO NOVEMBER!!!

Working alongside MFE to advance shared priorities has expanded my vision of what’s possible when people come together. We strengthen our community through connection and commitment to collective well‑being. A thriving Minneapolis depends on thriving public schools, and thriving public schools...

I’ve spent much of this school year organizing with the amazing caregivers of Minneapolis Families for Public Schools- and I’m delighted that three of our members are running for School Board! City convention is tomorrow, and I couldn’t be more excited. 1/3

Delta Air Lines had no trouble endorsing the Big Beautiful Bill, which gave ICE a blank check to terrorize Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge. They flew Liam to an ICE concentration camp. Now they want a million dollars to build a new lounge at MSP. Join us on Monday to demand accountability.

Love living in a neighborhood where when it’s time for bed, I find my kid 4 doors down the block, playing fetch with a neighbor’s dog, and chatting animatedly with the neighbors. 1/2
