Reading a "Teens and AI" report and am screaming at the end of this quote. "It will meet the needs of almost everything. Answers to the hardest questions. No need for research!" - Teen boy

Both Klobuchar and McCollum's offices answered this afternoon. "Hello I'm calling about potential nuclear annihilation" felt insane to say, but I did.

Cannot wait for the house 2 down from me - a gorgeous house just a few years older than my ancient house - to finally sell so hopefully the obnoxious crew the current (flipper) owner hired with leaf blowers goes away. Every time I hear a leaf blower my hatred of them renews.

Hi all. Adopt a rent was alerted to 2 needs that are back rents for February & March and we do not have donors currently. One is A who was detained by ICE from December to February and thus lost his work permit & job. He owes just over $3000 for back rent including march. Can you chip in or share?

I'm contributing to this bake sale Saturday and know there will also be some super cute crochet plushies, and more! Hope to see some of you there to support rent assistance and mutual aid funds.

Now I'm just over here bawling to "displace you after carrying your baby on your back across the desert." Hitting especially hard after meeting with someone at high risk today. #brandicarlilelivestream

Excuse me, following The Mother with The Story is just going to keep my emotions high forever and ever. #brandicarlilelivestream

After not even 2 years biking, I got hit by a car for the first time today. On a trip I wouldn't have been making if it weren't for 🧊, though on my normal (short) work commute.

One of many from Columbia Heights, and it's gut wrenching. Liam's mom has another kid, who I believe wasn't home from school yet, and was forced into Sophie's choice. I can only imagine how haunted she is by "mommy open the door" while her husband told her not to. www.telemundo.com/noticias/not...

Some things to understand about people from Minnesota on here right now, a short thread:

I knew the @erinmayequade.bsky.social "I'm running" email subject line was not going to be her running for governor, but dang if I wasn't hopeful there for a half second. Still appreciate the community donation links in any case.

Well, now I'm bawling listening to this. Thanks for it, Bruce. It's beautiful.

The corporations here might as well have just stayed silent if this is their response to ICE: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/25/b... I used to work at 3M - several friends still do. The CEO now lives in Florida and only just said anything about all of us on Wednesday.

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

I was home with the kids (just one of us is protesting out of precaution) while my husband went to his. His words when he came home: "It didn't feel that cold!" (He had snow pants, a balaclava, heat packs and ski goggles on.)

ICE detained St. Paul resident ChongLy Scott Thao in his underwear. The suspect whom agents were looking for was already in prison — and has been there since Sept. 4, 2024. bit.ly/4qxjGeJ

I went to The Best Steak House once when I had first moved nearby to Frogtown years ago. Never felt compelled to go back, I guess, but this sure comes across as either intentionally bad or tone deaf. www.facebook.com/share/1763LV...

Well the U isn't closing completely, but only essential employees are to report to the TC campus.

There is one word in the English language that explains what Minneapolis is experiencing right now: tyranny. We are under assault by a tyrannical government and its little jackbooted commandant. We are going to keep fighting, and we will win, stand with us.

Just got an email from our CRM provider - based here - that they'll be closed Friday. First I've seen of anything from a non retail business. In the same email, they shared "it's worse than you're likely hearing" if you're outside MSP, which is very true.

Bad photo of leftover Lanna Thai's curried fried rice. Still have Lulu's Salsas leftovers in the fridge.

This is my kid's school district. He's actually in a PreK through Community Ed so he has school still, but no Discovery Club so one of us has to leave work early. Bringing him to school today felt eerie. All staff there. No kids except the PreK, and about half of them at that.

Unfortunately, it seems he was rearrested. For reporting to Whipple as he was instructed to. Insane..

For once, I'd like to see a major outlet pull the reverse of this. "Let's interview 3 people from Minneapolis on what they think about a murder in Melrose." But rural people aren't expected to understand the city. Only the other way around.

So ICE is designed to terrorize neighborhoods? To detain and brutalize citizens? To ask for papers of anyone they see? Then all the more reason to abolish it.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

Breaking news, yet this happened a week ago. Journalism at CBS has really died, apparently. Incredible what they'll do to justify this.

Never have I been more grateful that I rarely drive as most of my errands are close by, though I have to tonight as I don't like biking with my kid after dark, particularly when it's icy (both kinds).

My oldest kid is in a SPPS Nature PreK. He told me they stayed inside all day to "practice safety." When we got home I was hoping to finish chipping away at the ice on my sidewalk but he was very insistent we stay inside all night because he wanted to keep "practicing safety." So we went inside.

dumb nazi bitch lmao 😂

Renee Good's wife, Becca Good, issued a statement and it's beautiful and heartbreaking. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Besides (though not entirely unrelated to) ICE in the city, I got an email from my kid's daycare today that unscheduled daycare audits may occur and that those audits may include armed Minnesota BCA agents. WTF no. No armed agents should be in daycares, let alone accompanying "unscheduled audits."

🧵 photo essay that tells what REALLY happened. [no overly graphic images included]. screenshots from several vids to show the sequence from different angles. links are in the comments. permission to share any and everywhere! ✊ 1/10

She better not run for Governor. Or if she does, there better be a real primary and I'm sure I'll be thrilled to vote for her opponent.

a major american city is being forced to close schools because armed government agents are raiding and pepper spraying and terrorizing children and teachers for social media content

Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

The image of the blood-soaked airbag next to the glove compartment overflowing with stuffed animals is going to stick with me for a very long time.

Here are two key frames of the video. (Changed language on the first notation.)

One of many insane things is that, taking DHS' claims of self defense against a "weaponized car" at face value, it would make no sense to shoot someone you think is trying to run you over. You think that's going to stop the car immediately? No, it's going to make things more dangerous immediately.

Gift Link: Star Tribune coverage of a shooting in Minneapolis involving federal law enforcement. ICE has been deployed there. Witnesses say an observer was shot. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

I'm so fucking angry that it is really hard to work.

Yesterday my kid's Minneapolis daycare had to send out a message about what to do if someone is wandering around the entrance asking questions about fraud. It apparently hasn't happened yet, and it's in a part of town that may not get targeted, but still insane they even had to send it.

Super excited to support this campaign to create an ebike library in my neighborhood for Give to the Max Day! If you want others to get to try out ebikes, check it out. Also reached out to Transition Town SAP myself to see if they need additional support. www.givemn.org/story/tgmneg

I thought the high today was 60° - that's what my phone said last night - well now it's near 70°, still going up, and I'm wearing a heavy flannel.

Not picking a side of the Summit bike lane, an already decided issue with lots of public engagement but with wealthy NIMBYs trying to hold it up, is why I can't get behind Her for St Paul mayor. www.startribune.com/summit-avenu...

What is with this headline @politico.com ? "Sides with accuser?" Technically true, but the entire headline gives the impression it may not have been warranted. The @nytimes.com is a bit better but still just calling her a "woman" as if she was just someone he ran across once is...not great.

Learned from @hcrichardson.bsky.social that Portland protestors at the ICE facility have been "ICE fishing" with donuts on fishing poles and that's actually really dang hilarious.

My husband and kids (4 and 2) got flu + COVID vaccinated at a Minute Clinic tonight (I got mine last week). The NP was amazing. Great with the kids, very patient when we were late due to flash floods and made sure it got covered by insurance.

@mischieftoy.com Do you guys have the Micro Mini scooter? I bought one from you a couple years ago and now that kid's brother wants his own, but not sure if you still have them.
