After ICE did this in Illinois, the Secretary of State revoked the plates, sent a cease and desist to ICE, threatened to suspend rental car licenses for allowing ICE to swap plates and set up a tip hotline to report plate tampering. MN deserves the same action. www.ilsos.gov/news/2025/de...

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills - can someone explain where these attacks are taking place in the “eastern Pacific Ocean”? This is an AP headline! The article refers to Venezuela, but the fricking AP is using this term, so I have to be missing something…right…?

Legal observers at the Whipple Federal Building witnessed ICE agents swapping out license plates in the ICE staging location. Masked agents who already routinely refuse to identify themselves are now swapping license plates at whim to kidnap our neighbors and tear apart families.

10 years of Bob Dylan's Christmas lights as documented by Merrill Markoe. I have never seen a light strand interpreted as song, and now I want to do this for every 1-strand display I see (also, there is an update in the latest article!).

My XMAS present to the MN extended fam this year is a tour of supper clubs - so far, I've only been to Creekside and Wiederholt's. I'm designing the punch card and map today - if anyone has a favorite/s (within a two-hour metro radius) I'd love some recommendations!

I notice dem senators being disappointingly terrible (again). I’m angry about that too. AND I notice my community being amazing. Supporting, protecting, feeding, nurturing. Get out of your house. Go make some friends. Be astonished how cool people are and what beautiful things they are doing.

I will spread this far and wide because I find it amazing and want more people to discover the joy: You can get a burger + beer @ the Blue Door, then walk/bike/ride a couple blocks to the Riverview for a movie, fresh buttered popcorn, and an ice cold water for a full night right around $30 (!!!!!)

It's a hot oatmeal with peanut butter kind of morning.

Here is the GoFundMe for Marco and Geovanny who were forced to brace below freezing temperature by ICE. They need help with funding for lawyers, food, and medical bills. Please share. gofund.me/443327b8d

Exactly what I’m doing. Particularly with insurance questions looming, I don’t want to wait - just made an appt at Walgreens for this next week.

Krumkake: Done ✅

I often find myself liking a movie more simply because something about the experience of seeing it in a theater made it memorable. Sidenote: I really enjoy that Minnesotans clap at the end of movies. You don’t get that everywhere!

Earnest question: Do the chemical munitions they've been using against protestors work at all in below zero temps?

Match it and share it if you can!

incidentally, this hotel is right by the southern terminus of the E line

I KNEW it wasn't just me!

Do you think Bob Iger is sitting somewhere right now thinking, "I've made a huge mistake..."?

This is the box my grandma had and that cover design had me convinced that it was not a game, but a secret message decoder tool and she worked with James Bond.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen floating trees and wow, I am SOLD.

It is that time again. Kicking off work early to assist in lefse-making. I'm a flipper, not a roller, which means I get a lot of time to stare out the window and watch the snow come down.

I live across the river/s from MSP and StP in a neighborhood that has never had streetlights. On winter nights like this, I could stare out the window for hours. The light created by the cities + snow + cloudy/clear skies changes by the minute. Always feel lucky to “catch” a view like this one.

We Love Our Somali Neighbors. We Love Our Immigrant Neighbors. my new screen-printed porch posters in Somalia flag blue & Monarca orange! message me to request 🦋 funds support these organizations: - Immigrant Law Center - Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid - Volunteer Lawyers Network - CAIR MN - Ayada Leads

Norway knows what they're doing here...

Today was the PERFECT day for 5-minute bialys. Not quite the real thing, but close enough, and you can toss in jalapeños, carmelized onions, tomatoes, bacon - anything you want in the middle. I make ‘em just like grilled cheese, but steam a bit using a pot lid. 🤌🤌🤌

Man, what a waste. A quick read through more recent Tripadvisor reviews + responses from ownership, and it's pretty clear the new owners may have been way out of their element from the get-go (and had a grave misunderstanding of their most loyal client base).

Minnesota, here's a sign to show your support for Somali neighbors. Share it, print it, pass it on. **updated PDF link** PDF here >> www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/s89ru...

Stole this from the Cedar Cultural Center’s page since they aren’t here. ♥️♥️♥️

Clllaaaasssic car, back on their bullshit.

"Yeah, meet me there for brunch. No, it's not a sports bar. I know, but really...it's an espresso bar. It's the one that looks like a White House | Black Market storefront. No I'm not joking! ...Yes, I've always thought the optics of *all that* were bad too. Uh-huh. Okay. See you at Dunn brothers."

Oh my god this is wonderful.

This is an ethnic cleansing campaign

A great day to support sahanjournal.com by sharing a donation link to friends, family members, neighborhood groups, etc. (also, be sure to to follow them here: bsky.app/profile/saha...)

We’re pushing whistles out the door as fast as possible today. If you can donate to help us purchase more, our Venmo is @mspwhistles

Hey team, My calendars are still for sale and if you want one of Minneapolis OR Midwest Landscapes, please snag one! That said, I know that sales are down for a bunch of our favs this year and I wanted to highlight both @flowstatephoto.bsky.social and @bryanhansel.com. Links to their work below.

Went out to clear the driveway and my faithful little snowblower finally bit the dust. Upgraded to a 21” battery-powered Toro that I pickup tomorrow. I hope it’s as good as the last one - wildly excited to stop buying gas!

Posey-thon rolls on with this year’s Parenting - a new one for me

Posey-thon continues tonight with (what else) Best in Show!

Stranger Things should have been released in October. I will die on this hill. Anyway, going to start a new tradition of a Thanksgiving weekend Parker Posey marathon. First up: The Daytrippers 💕

Oh my GOD. So, if you're in the Twin Cities metro area and haven't shoveled your drive yet, maybe expect it to be WORK. I had left mine, thinking some would melt, but it was a disaster (ice underneath, hard snow on top). Will be eating an extra helping of mashed potatoes tomorrow though ☺️

Nothing like that fresh snow energy (this has been going on since 4am)

My public service announcement for today is that America’s Test Kitchen, which is infinitely better then NYTimes Cooking, has introduced a new gift link option that has no limit on how many you can share and each link lasts 30 days.

KSTP meteorologist posting AI videos on Twitter of what he says is what Minneapolis will look like if his forecast is correct is really something… not a valid weather news source going forward imo

Me coming to the family Thanksgiving with a new haircut/personal style that no one quite knows how to react to

Too many people talking about pies when we could be spending that time celebrating crisps.

I have to wonder how much local LE/politicians/news orgs are kind of counting on the coming weather + holiday drowning this story out. Sharing this video at your Thanksgiving table might be an important thing you can do in the next couple of days.

I work for myself and business this week is not great, Bob. So I've already decided I'm just going to take tomorrow off and 1.) play with my dog in the snow 2.) prep my dish for family T-day 3.) watch movies I could use my Letterboxd list, but do you have fave recommendations...? Open to anything!

Genuine LOL - this is exactly me 😂

Halfway through 7th grade I realized I could leave school at lunch time, walk the mile and a half home, and no one would ever follow up. The walk would make me hungry, so I'd house one of these, first thing. Every few years I'm reminded they still exist and I absolutely CRAVE a can for lunch.

Every single artist, illustrator, design freelancer I know - no matter their current or past successes - has existential worries right now. If you can, please support artists and small makers this holiday season. If you are interested in art (in any price range) but don't know where to start, LMK!
