Spoon and Stable is closed on Friday and at this point any restaurant being open is silly (with the weather no one is going out anyway).

Oh, did those same guys already try this? And Quebec isn't a state? Hm.

It also wasn't about suspicion of political differences...

Minnesota's Republican House Speaker Lisa Demuth made a Facebook post critical of an anti-ICE protest at a church, and got ratioed by her own daughter in the comments www.facebook.com/LisaforMN/po...

There's absolutely nothing conservative about trumpism at this point.

There should be a rule that if you are a Known Sports Poster you can say things like “holy fucking shit” with zero context but if you are primarily a Known Politics Poster that gets you like a two day ban

They are naming the nicollet BRT line after that effing Kmart.

Next, as part of the agency's fare modernization effort, in 2027, they propose launching fare capping and open payment (the ability to pay by tapping a credit or debit card, or a mobile device). The local fare cap would be $4 per day, and $64 per month, under the proposal.

There are lessons here.

Currently reading this which I think they call "scouting" in sports. The Coming of the Third Reich by Richard J. Evans: 9780143034698 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books share.google/9DcHvZ8I4DAQ...

Good to see approval so high but also I want to say for the hundredth time that what gets covered in the media as "protests" in the Twin Cities is very often "people going about their day and then running to help when they see federal agents trying to kidnap their neighbors"

This list now has 173 Minnesota businesses (with 200 total locations) that have publicly announced they are closing for the strike/economic blackout/protest on Jan. 23. bringmethenews.com/minnesota-li...

If you need to work on Friday (sadly me) you can donate whatever you make that day here (like I'll be doing)

ICE wants you to be afraid and spreading unverified rumors is helping ICE.

Ever wondered what a downtown pedestrian streets looks like on a Monday evening in the middle of January in Montreal?

And it isn't even cold yet

43.6F in Camden

48.2° in Standish. It kept inching down but I was getting antsy.

It's the most wonderful time of the year

44F in Longfellow

43°F, Central 🫡

39 in Cooper

Temp was still falling but I felt like I was wasting too much water. 46.7, Fulton

Only have a Bluetooth meat thermometer but says 46 on Northside of Powderhorn Park

Reporting in from downtown west Minneapolis with 41.7F. Thank you for reminder to clean my sink.

48.6 in Northrop

Powderhorn coming in at 41.6

43 in Whittier

40.4 in Cooper

48 degrees in Longfellow after running for about a minute.

Phillips, 38.7° F

39.5 up in Columbia Park

At a balmy 44.5°F in SoUp

Please check in with your tap water temperature readings. Valid submissions must include your neighborhood and a photo of a thermometer under your tap.

A funny little local political angle, this church has been helping lead opposition to the Summit Avenue bike trail, a longtime obsession of local NIMBYs. streets.mn/2025/07/24/s...

It is so funny that the Save Our Street people in Saint Paul are having all of their meetings at the church led by a pastor whose day job is running the local ICE field office.

We've reached the finding portraits of civil war veteran ancestors portions of the occupation.

Lucia's in Minneapolis taught me what simple ingredients and perfect technique could do. Maybe the first farm to table restaurant in the country. Completely changed how I thought about food and restaurants and 20 years later I still think about their roast chicken.

This but their breakfast burrito

Rugged individualism never existed. Pioneers took care of each other because if they didn't they'd die.

Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers.

So things are like...normalish today (in Minneapolis proper?)

ICE is closing local businesses early (complimentary)

And good to stop annoying people from being abducted.

i think it’s good to learn to be annoyed at people without it having to be a big deal sometimes

People say Minnesota Nice is somehow disingenuous but it is in fact good to get along with and care about and watch out for your neighbors even if you don't really like them

Things are also very normal until they aren't.
