Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...

Josh Bell walking up to Dead Prez gives me life. #Twins

Nicollet Ave, south of Lake St, has a real dog poop problem. Dog owners don’t pick up and property owners don’t either.

Well, replay has really taken over baseball. I’m still not a fan (of replay).

Why did they quote System of a Down?

Love to get alerts in the school signal chat of ICE agents circling my kid’s schools and taking photos of the parents on patrol.

Never forget Jack Hughes losing chicklets and not missing a shift.

I’m so glad that Obama could be courtside at the NBA All-Star game. It’s a great use of his celebrity and political capital and there’s nowhere else he could’ve showed up in the last 3 months that would’ve made as big of an impact.

UPDATE: He was just released. This shows that just indiscriminately took someone because they were Latino. Their illegal tactics continue so we still need neighbors to patrol, observe, and support our immigrant community.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Are we talking enough about how Minnesotans are fighting fascism AND winning Olympic curling matches right now?

We literally have an organization called “Neighbors for More Neighbors.” Everywhere I go I see some neighbors and I’m always happy to see them. Some are young, some are old, some are black, some are white, who cares. It’s called community and the degenerate fascist freaks can never understand

You think we are organized in 30 below temps on foot and in cars? Wait til it’s 40 above and we add bikes to the mix. Theres a whole fucking army of people who know the bike lanes in their neighborhoods intimately. This will turn even the worst bike lane haters into fans.

For those outside of Minnesota, a concealed carry permit requires the most rigorous instruction and testing of all of our firearms permits in MN. This is not a certification you get on a lark.

Go read “Pacifism As Pathology.” It’s available as a PDF for free.

Dear Not Minnesota, We really don’t give a flying fuck about the Epstein Files right now. Sincerely, Occupied Minnesota

It’s gotta be really tough to be a bigger piece of shit than your father when your father killed someone while driving drunk.

Filled with love for my city and state but also would like to note that this really fucking sucks. (Feel free to join me in a hearty "this fucking sucks" if you like.)

Because these international grocers need your support now more than ever, especially during these times, here’s a guide to the international grocers of the Twin Cities that I wrote for @racketmn.com: racketmn.com/guide-intern...

Six weeks into the immigration enforcement surge in the Twin Cities, observers say federal agents are employing violence more frequently and with little apparent restraint against citizens and noncitizens alike. (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

For the regime to describe the ICE agent’s brutal murder of a woman in Minneapolis as defensive is for the regime to enshrine ICE’s total immunity as it expands its killing, kidnapping, terrorizing, and caging of us.

Rhetorical trend that absolutely raises my hackles. “Personally, I…”

I need to remember to order my Chicken 65 one level less spicy than I think I want.

"The dependence on automotive infrastructure is robbing all of us, at every stage of our lives, of the normal developmental milestones and pleasures, and the things we need to be healthy."

Video based social media has taught me that people have a lot of difficulty when there are two Rs in a word, such as “rural” or “sriracha.”

Obligatory “seriously, please vote” post. Not sure if it will change anything but it is the bare minimum.

Pixies deserve royalties for Actually Romantic.

I know I’m a couple days late but isn’t it customary for the president and the secretary of defense to salute military leaders before and after addressing them?

Cheryl Reeve RIPPED the refs as expected: "This is the look that our league wants for some reason. For the leadership to deem those 3 people, semifinals playoff worthy is fucking malpractice"

There are few things more sublime than trying to appreciate and understand art and music.

That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without reservation.

“It’s not a rare thing for people to mix with people who are quite different from them. It’s in fact the rule. And humans moved around a good bit…people living today are almost never the descendants of the people in the same place thousands of years before.” no borders no pure bloodlines

Saw a teenager wearing a shirt for the band Boston and respectfully sir it is 2025

Does anyone actually like Collinsworth as a color commentator?

Well, clock management still seems to be a challenge for PJ Fleck teams. #Gophers #Cal

Real talk, why are local musicians still cool with performing at Surly?

Apparently, I am “cries at perfect songs” years old.

I see a lot of shit about George Floyd Square as if it is meant to be a memorial site. It is an active protest site. There are actual demands. Most of which are unmet. The city government doesn’t get to do shit until they negotiate with the protestors. Not that they will actually listen.

The people we were trying to get away from at 90s raves are now the main attraction at current dance music events.

When did we change the pronunciation of THAT acronym to Mog-Uh?

Shoutout to homie on the bicycle that got a flick of our bumper sticker on our way home from seeing Gully Boys.

Plus les violences policières se normalisent, + la société accorde de pouvoir à la police et + il sera difficile d’abolir cette institution. L’émergence d’un régime fasciste, essentiellement raciste, apparaît plus que jamais comme un futur possible, ce que ce passe aux USA le démontre à perfection.

Well, it was one year ago that my dad died in Marseille, FR. I don’t intend to mark this day every year but it’s been tough to keep it off my mind today. I won the “dad lottery” which is part of why it still weighs so heavy on me. I’m still working on how life goes on without him, but it does.

Well, I guess US pro sports may as well go full European Hockey with the jersey and helmet sponsorship. The more gaudy the better, I guess. So glad the greed knows no bounds.

Fucking fascism

I am inches away from blocking “Caitlin Clark” and “Angel Reese” on all social media platforms. The way they are reported on is just fucking infuriating. It’s tempting to drop my @theathletic.bsky.social subscription for similar reasons. They only report WNBA stories involving these two.

The before & the after of @notsnowden.bsky.social’s birthday oysters at Centro with: @marcwarnest.bsky.social @lady612.bsky.social @whorticulturist.bsky.social & @betsysoderlund.bsky.social

I got to watch a pitcher throw 6 perfect innings today. Granted, it was against my team, but it was still pretty cool. Breaking up the perfection with a walk followed by a HR was pretty cool, too.
