In the living room listening to my husband read a book to my kid while she belts out “LAST CHRISTMAS I GAVE YOU MY HEART AND THE VERY NEXT DAY YOU GAVE IT AWAY!” at the same time.

JFC. Thought I saw ICE at MLK Park after kid’s tennis. Black SUV, blacked out windows, driver wearing face covering, slowly driving through lot. I blew my whistle. I alerted staff. Nope just some fucking dude going to play tennis dressed as ICE. What the actual fuck are you doing dude?

Solo parenting today and don’t feel comfortable bringing my kid to the big protest. Any separate family friendly protests today? Or somewhere we can volunteer to get food to homebound families? Or even somewhere I can drop some money to help today?

After the FBI withdrew its agreement to conduct the investigation of Renee Nicole Good's killing with the state, Attorney General Keith Ellison & Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty are conducting their own investigation, & are asking the public to send evidence. share.google/zCt3scRaAsIl...

Town Hall Lanes (my husband’s employer) is offering free meals to anyone under 18yo today. No restrictions. Go in, bowl a few games, bug my husband and feed your kids. (And let neighbors who are food insecure know)

Ok. Need to stop doom scrolling and figure out something to do with my kid today since pre-school is cancelled because we are under siege from the Federal government.

Every minute that goes by another mediocre centrist that I normally deride comes out with a legitimately decent response to what’s going on. It really makes the lack of decent responses from so many others even more egregious.

You think @governorwalz.mn.gov has any idea of the scale of community mobilization that is happening right now to protect schools/daycares across MSP from ICE? We have organized foot patrols, car patrols, food delivery, and direct transport for vulnerable individuals. We have our own dispatchers.

The first guy says he has his passport in his pants pocket. But I guess that doesn't matter if you have brown skin.

You are now safe from having your groceries brought to your car (by a US citizen)

Mar Navarro aka DJ Q of Gothess and their partner Anna Brauch were grabbed www.facebook.com/reel/8584487...

Minneapolis, I need y'all to scrape together an uninterrupted hour to take care of yourself.

Reminder, Minnesota's Earned Sick and Safe Time provides paid time off if your child's school is closed for public emergency www.dli.mn.gov/sick-leave

It’s absolutely the right call and fucking surreal that our public schools have to close because of the threat posed by OUR OWN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. I am beyond livid.

All MN employers, including @governorwalz.mn.gov, need to allow any employee who can work from home to do so for the rest of the week.

🧵 A friend was at Roosevelt HS in MPS when it was raided today. My friend is now dealing with the effects of the tear gas that was deployed on school grounds AT DISMISSAL TIME. Bovino popped out of a car for photos while children sheltered in place. 1/ www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

The constant helicopters just wear on you.

They went to Roosevelt High at dismissal. Broke a car window and kidnapped two school staff

We are getting reports of Border Patrol activity near Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis that happened during dismissal time today. Bystanders say officers shoved, tackled bystanders and handcuffed 2 school staff

Reports that Rosevelt High is being attacked by Ice.

🤬 ICE should NOT be armed! They are not qualified to handle any of these situations. Are they even trained in de-escalation??? They are BARELY trained. Philosophically, so many of them are so angry, misguided, power-drunk and not mentally balanced. This kind of situation was inevitable.

This is the ICE agent who murdered a woman by shooting her multiple times in the face.

The Park Board will be working to ensure Minneapolis residents can gather and grieve in our parks. My resolutions for today's meeting will be pulled to focus on our resolution taking action on ICE terror. Please stay safe and take care. We need ICE Gestapo to leave our state immediately.

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

Just a reminder that if you have any information about this or any other education story that needs some attention, you can find me on Signal.

"Klobuchar would do less damage out of the Senate" She's a horribly abusive boss who would oversee 40,000 state employees as governor

My bowling team could use 1-2 more bowlers. We have mostly men, so prefer women or non-binary folks. Thursday evenings at 8:15 at Town Hall Lanes. You do not need to be good at all, most of my team isn't. LMK if you are interested.

At Choo Choo Bob’s for a birthday party and it may be the best place for a preschool birthday we’ve been so far.

Kid at art class. I’m sitting in a massage chair at the mall living my best life.

In what may be seen as a desperate move (it was) I just signed my kid up for a three hour art/science drop off class in Eden Prairie tomorrow.

My kid is still not sleeping, 90+ minutes after being put to bed. She’s insisting that she sleep in my bed, with me, until my husband gets home. So I guess it’s bed time. Happy New Year. 🎊

Got the kid into bed. Watching Jet Lag on Nebula and thinking about pouring a new NA drink I picked up. Or if my kid actually falls asleep, maybe a THC drink.

Just finished my last book of the year. I read lots of great books. Here are my 5 and 4.75 star books of the year. My absolute favorite was “The True True Story of Raja the Gullible (and his mother)” by Rabih Alameddine

Trump Writes Netanyahu Strongly Worded Check

My husband is working tonight and they close at midnight. So I guess it 3, 2, 1 Happy New Year! Now leave!

I’m crushing NYE! Stitches removed from shoulder. Art supplies purchased. Congee for lunch. THC drinks purchased. Drivers license renewed. Almost finished my 121 book of the year (audiobook) while driving around. Now to get some groceries and head home.

Login.mn.gov is going to be a really cool thing for Minnesotans one day, but the agency rollout may be the death of me.

I don’t know if anyone told the vending machine contractor about the RTO mandate.

We are actually going on a vacation this year. Probably somewhere warm with a beach in the February to March time frame. With the five year old who does not have a passport. I'm morally against AirBNBs. Who has suggestions?

My then four year old (almost 5) riding a bike for the first time.

My mom spelled my first name wrong on a check she wrote to me. She spelled it the way it should be spelled, not the dumb way they chose to spell it when naming me. 😜

I did a fourth round of shoveling and I’m done for the night. My husband is attempting to drive home. My biggest concern for him is the side street and alley coming up to our driveway.

The plan now is my husband and kid are heading down with overnight bags and I’m staying home making sure the dogs get fed, the snow shoveled and I can make it to work tomorrow morning.

Really wish we didn’t have to travel to south of Cannon Falls and back tomorrow to celebrate Christmas with the in-laws.

The Museum of Russian Art is extremely close to our house and honestly such a hidden gem! Got the family membership and if we go two more times in the next year, we come out ahead. My 9 year old loves the art scavenger hunt. The current exhibit is about fairy tales - I highly recommend it.

My family went to the Minnesota Museum of American Art today. I’d never been before and it was lovely, lots of Wanda Gág and Native artists pieces. I will definitely be going back to take a closer look without the 5 year old.

My husband is at Costco getting snow tires installed on my car. Merry Christmas to me!

My kid got a goth Barbie-like doll and it’s great. She’s a vampire and her accessories include sun screen, coffin earrings, and a black cat. She’s wearing a thong, naturally. Yea, those are fishnets.

Best gift! I’ve been wanting a rocket for sooooo long. Thanks @llamaviking.bsky.social
