Anyone know what was happening near Lex and Uni like an hour ago? Ton of cops reported, but they've since cleared out

Yeah, Snoop Dogg mentioned Minnesota Nice in his Christmas in Minnesota, but when he called out the Frozen Chosen it took me out

Does anybody know what day it is?

I loved this. And I want to note the whole “there were no autistic people before …” discourse has an answer here: just the people were sent away in the incarceration (yes “care homes” like this), and if they fled, they were just abandoned by society, usually to die.

It is as silly a place as you may imagine

The director of Minnesota’s Driver and Vehicle Services is warning U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents that they’re violating state law and could be cited if they switch out or remove license plates on their unmarked vehicles. (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Fun display of Winter Carnival history and lore in the storefront at Vicky and Grand. Learn about our city's pantheon of elder gods

Reminder - @mischieftoy.com is open til 3 today. Some of my favorite people selling some of my favorite things.

For as much exposure as Icelandic musicians get, they are a very small nation, like 1/3 of a million people. The greater Northwest Iowa tristate area is about that size but we didn't have Iceland's Got Talent, we got booed off stage at the battle of the bands at The Chesterfield in SUX

ICE is planning 7 massive human warehouses holding 5,000 to 10,000 people … with a smaller facility holding up to 1,500 people in Woodbury. wapo.st/4axtwZ4

It's a bloody cult

As was foretold ... "Come Christmas Eve when Spruce Tree Centre do rise on pages calléd front, Four Horsemen as prophesiéd are about to pull their stunt"

Are we brothers, Francis? I would like very much to face unafraid the plans that we've made

In Winter Wonderland, when Bing sings “To face unafraid, the plans that we've made,” he’s talking about arson and insurance fraud.

A coalition of 19 states and DC have filed a lawsuit challenging the Kennedy declaration seeking to ban gender affirming care for trans youth by fiat by creating a federal "standard of care" based on pure pseudoscience. ag.ny.gov/press-releas...

Not that anyone of you is a dupe but, this is, obviously, just made up grievance. There's like 20 wind farms in the North Sea offshore and they're just fine. People in the US have been working for literally 20 years to permit and build these things and rich psychos keep doing this

Also, @egyptoknuckles.bsky.social wrote a great piece about different ethnic markets, many of which are owned by immigrants! www.minneapolis.org/cultural-dis...

About a half-hour ago, ICE kidnapped a man from the CVS by my house. His pregnant partner was in the car waiting for him. A dozen responders showed up, but we were too late to help

Roseville Walmart really playing both sides here

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

Hello, I wrote a big ass thing about property taxes. It contains personal details and so it's juicy. leaflet.pub/0588a2f0-b7a...

In case anyone is wondering, if you buy enough gift cards at El Burrito Mercado in West Saint Paul, they just give you a bottle of Jarritos.

Hey curlers! Come to Saint Paul in January for the most fun bonspiel! We need some more competition in the costume contest. ☺️ My team is still discussing our favorite Fairy Tale themed costume ideas. stpaulcurlingclub.org/index.php/bo...

Obviously everyone has to assess their own risk levels, but I am begging a pleading for my fellow pedestrians to be more bold and unforgiving when crossing the street. We owe drivers absolutely nothing!

The Woke Mob wants to throw me in jail for my political views (building a giant ramp at the bottom of Buck Hill to try to jump over I-35)

We rode the Northstar Train a couple times over the last week before it ends service on January 4th. Saw daily commuters, transit nerds, and video gamers. Want to ride? The 3:38pm train out of Target Field Station is a good choice, the only PM train you can ride out and back on.

Pedestrians are getting struck by automobiles 3x a week in Saint Paul. It is showcase of how the city needs to place greater focus on spending available funds on its bike/pedestrian infrastructure. The plans exist. The funds exist. The desire exists. #SaferSummit #SaintPaul #BikesBuildCommunity

I have this exact experience on Lex all the time. My dream would be that traffic speed cams would be able to deter some of this, but without specific high visibility enforcement of pedestrian crossings, I don't know how people's behavior will change.

ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Saturdays are for sewers! Or… where else does my poop go? This week I spent a morning under 10th St., working with our @cityofsaintpaul.bsky.social Public Works crews to clean one of our old sanitary sewer tunnels. It was really rewarding work. And really tiring. Highlights:🧵 1/

We love our Saint Plow public works family don't we? Show them some love

Unrelated, but if they offered a beanie that said “SAINT PAUL TRASH” in block lettering, I’d pay $100 for it to support our snow folk.

My current state of being is “Obsessed with Saint Paul.”

where's the trend piece on millennials having their parents trying to offload their entire basement of stuff onto them as they transition toward elder care etc, and millennials responding to that by being existentially terrified of owning anything at all

In the summer of 1950 most US newspapers ran an AP story about how race had become the main issue in the upcoming Georgia governor's race. Segregationist Herman Tallmadge, governor from '47 to '55 and then a Senator until 1981 made a name for himself by refusing to "apologize for being a white man."

Old Tom Bombadil is a merry FELLOW, Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are YELLOW. Reeds by the shady pool, lilies on the WATER: Old Tom Bombadil and the River-DAUGHTER

The flag of Kyrgyzstan is bad. The concept (traditional yurt) is cool, but it looks like 90s clip art

Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas. www.nola.com/news/educati...

Here’s a warm treat for a cold day that you can make with common ingredients! Bake a few slices of bread at high heat for 4-5 minutes until they’re crunchy. This rebaked bread (also known as toasted bread, or simply “toast”) is delicious with butter or—if you’re feeling extra decadent—peanut butter!

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

Renaming it Trump-Washington District of Columbia why not, naming it the Trump-Lincoln Memorial, renaming the Dollar the Trump-Dollar sure of course yes, what a tin pot dump of a country we got going here

The gender-affirming treatments available to kids aren’t what the hate-mongers are telling you they are. At all. Gender-affirming healthcare saves lives. You’re not protecting kids if you deny it, you’re harming them. Period.

I lost all my organized photos from before 2018 and my whole archive of music because I had transferred them off a cloud account to a set of external hard drives to save cloud space, then both of those hard drives failed at the same time

I am fully capable of talking to people. But I'm not going to sit quietly and politely while they debate whether or not I get to exist.

Contact your reps. Talk to your neighbors. If you're out there keeping other neighbors safe, you can show up for these ones, too. Mpls 💗

The continued attacks on our trans neighbors 🏳️‍⚧️ is disheartening and despicable. Our trans community doesn’t deserves this hate. 💔

So this is a thing. I don't know how it will even be possible to do in person interviews with every household receiving SNAP in four counties in a month. Like, logistically, where is the space to hold the interviews? The convention center and River Center? www.newsweek.com/minnesota-or...

Unlike roads where funding is fairly straightforward - Quality bike/pedestrian infrastructure is often the work of decades of dedicated advocacy. Congratulations to all of the folks who championed this through! We hope you are celebrating your success and look forward to riding it soon!

America has deindustrialized so much they can't even manufacture consent
