Highly recommend living on a block with a retired fire chief who owns “his and hers” snow throwers so he and his wife can shovel the whole block in 10-15 minutes together

Never stop eastside

I am genuinely baffled. How is ONE white lady who hit and killed a teenager with her car THAT important to these people that they will turn the whole party upside down to keep her in various officer positions? I don't get it! Does she have an archive of their nudes or something?

Fucking nonsense. Just a reminder that swastikas and nooses and the confederate flag are all hate symbols.

The family of one of the workers taken by ICE from Bro-Tex yesterday has set up a Go Fund Me. www.gofundme.com/f/fn4bw-help...?

Re-upping this with a link that goes to the upcoming trainings in Longfellow, Kingfield and Cathedral Hill since Naomi's link was for an older training. monarcamn.org/training

Update: Katie just called me. She is being held by Homeland Security at the Whipple Federal Building down by the airport. They have not told her anything. No word on release, no word on charges. Nothing. Ridiculous. But she is fine and in good spirits. Her attorney is en route there right now.

Approaching 3 hours since Katie was cuffed and taken by masked federal agents while peacefully protesting and filming today and our lawyers still can’t get anyone to tell us where they actually took her. Fucking absurd.

Federal agents wearing tactical gear used chemical irritants on protesters at the Bro-Tex facility in St. Paul. Video by reporter Louis Krauss, who is on the scene.

Councilmember Aurin has been and will continue to be an excellent representative for our neighborhood/ward. I’ve always gotten a prompt response from her office and she shows up for the hard topics and also for the joy of being a community that cares for each other other

Update as of 10:55 AM: Federal agents have left the Territorial/Hampden location. Mayor Carter and I are on site. We have heard reports of several individuals that have been taken by the federal government. At least one person was arrested.

Hey Twin Cities, just got the following alert from Monarca Heavy enforcement operation gathering at Bro-Tex 800 N Hampden Ave St Paul MN 55114 Need Upstander Legal Observers call/text 612-441-2881

Excited to maybe see the aurora again tonight!

UR has released the footage of 73 Minneapolis Police videos from the mass arrest of 646+ the night after the 2020 elections. The videos show officer interactions & tactic discussions while illustrating MPD’s antagonistic relationship with the community. unicornriot.ninja/2025/body-ca...

Looking for picture book recommendations! What’s new and good? I have two nibblings, a 14 month old and an 8 month old, and am doing some winter shopping. Have some classics that my kids enjoyed when they were little, but I know there’s gotta be some great new stuff that’s come out.

Uh… pretty sure phrenology and physiognomy/anthroposcopy have been pretty soundly debunked?

Where are folks seeing Minneapolis parks final election results? Are there any yet?

Mood rn

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Trying to be hopeful about the rank three strategy in Minneapolis but feeling the agony of the 2021 mayoral election results still

Such a reveling quote from Sarah McBride's Advocate interview: “If I let them make me the issue, then the actual issues — health care, housing, jobs — get lost.” I wonder: How is transgender rights NOT an "actual issue"????

Really hoping that at the end of the night Omar Fateh is my mayor and Aurin Chowdhury gets re-elected as my councilor

irony because the threat wasn't some foreign invaders but homegrown fascist violence in the book, Saruman destroys the shire by convincing many of the hobbits that industrial capital is better than their quiet ways of living. Goods are tarriffed and expensive and freedom of speech is restricted.

POV you’re still not married and your grandparents just found the nicest boy with a good job they want you to meet

Oh so the day that Frey erased his texts and calls with his police chief was the day of the ICE raid on Lake? Oh.

Tell us ALL the voting results. Why is this league so fricking reluctant to ever tell us anything? You're already not telling us who made each choice; at least tell us who nearly made the All-WNBA 2nd team. Players aren't the only ones who've been begging for transparency for years on end. #WNBA

Also, the way to not "die on that hill" is to be united. These folks who want to jettison trans folks, immigrants, Black folks, etc. are so short sighted they think it'd be a victory to die a couple steps later, when choosing solidarity is actually choosing to not die at all

There is a faction actively trying to kill the DFL in Minneapolis. Which is obviously unwise to anyone who cares about state and federal elections.

also skipped: answering sahan journal on whether or not the city should contract with jerry mcafee for violence prevention work

I made pancakes, vacuumed and rotated the living room rug, last minute washed the teen’s stinky soccer jersey and socks, provided snacks for the whole teen soccer team, and went to a soccer game in the hot windy hell that is currently October in Minneapolis. And I think that taps me out for the day

don’t ask me how, but I’m rooting for the Lynx tonight

I am going to bring disaster upon them that they cannot escape. -A promise of retribution for everyone responsible for the brutalizing labor conditions that contributed to Kelsey Mitchell, Napheesa Collier, and so many other #WNBA players being injured this season, written in Jeremiah 11:11

If your overhyped franchise player causes you to sin, cut her out! For it is better to enter the #WNBA playoffs with a roster of hardship players than to have your full roster and end up in hell. -An object lesson about from the Indiana Fever, explained in Mark 9:48

I WILL MAKE THOSE IN THE C-SUITES OF SATAN WHO SAY THEY SUPPORT THE #WNBA BUT ARE LYING--I WILL MAKE THEM BOW DOWN AT YOUR FEET + SERVE THE PLAYERS' UNION. -A prophecy to WBPA VP Napheesa Collier + her comrades re: the coming win / the fate of Adam Silver + Cathy Deloitte, written in Revelation 3:8

America, 2025

The Minnesota #Lynx will hold their end of season media availability on Tuesday late morning, featuring Cheryl Reeve, Napheesa Collier, Kayla McBride, Courtney Williams, Bridget Carleton and Alanna Smith. #WNBA

Happy mifepristone approval day to us all!

If the NBA genuinely wanted to treat the WNBA like a sister competition, rather than one of their minor-leagues, they'd have long ago thrown enough money at the referees' union to just make it a combined pool where everyone in the top group works both leagues. Never going to happen. #WNBA

What's so remarkable about this is how it acknowledges Sanger's turn into eugenics, and explicitly rejects it, and then pushes for alternative caregivers like doulas and midwives. As someone deeply interested in how male politicians talk about bodily autonomy, this is REMARKABLE.

Keep mentioning this bit

I wish I could go back in time and tell the me that was exhausted and tired of my kids bickering and fighting constantly that one day they would want to go to the park after dinner to play soccer together and have “sibling bonding chat time”

Parkway Pizza continues to have the funniest coupon code emails

The thing is you have to stop being a Nazi. Quit being a fascist snot

No. If we want to get rid of Frey, we need to rank three candidates. Otherwise, we will wind up with four more years of Frey. Rank Fateh, Davis, and Hampton. People not filling their ballots is how Frey won in 2021.

Let The Baddie Elephant Mascot Coach The Liberty

Nice try with the new trailer Disney. My kids favorite Star Wars story arc is the Mandalorian and Grogu, but were not spending a dang cent on that film when it comes out until ya’ll correct course

Guess the Lynx are just gonna have to win the Best Team award
