Someone was taken near 20th & Central tonight at 10 PM. Within 5 minutes, there were over 20 people on a call and even more people on foot in the area to respond.

25 rule changes to “speed the game along” and now we get to sit through 3 consecutive play reviews costing…7 minutes of game time?

I somehow ended up on a page of “news article” citations on this site and the first one was authored by Carol Becker. I need look no further.

the answer to this is for journalists to band together to create new, worker-owned publications with whom readers can form parasocial attachments, aka, community

Josh Bell walking up to Dead Prez gives me life. #Twins

Last year, I slept on getting a yellow City Connect Twins hoodie. Wandered into the store at Target Field. Got one ☝️n super clearance. Easter Luck?

So, esteemed lawyer friends…would you post complaints you were drafting on your LinkedIn? Specifically if that complaint was about your owndivorce and custody proceedings?

Today is April 2nd and rent is DUE. I'm barnraising for M, a mom in Northeast who has had a very difficult time asking for help for her family because the ICE terror has eroded their trust & sense of safety. They need $2100 total; $100 has already been sent to M. Can you chip in or share? 🌻

Today’s B Line driver is having none of the “back door!” as they bus is trying to pull away from the station

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band reviewed live in Minneapolis, March 31, 2026: a night of protest and power

I also need Bruce’s workout regimen. He is in impeccable shape.

Omg I got the first DM so fast, I'm verklempt! MINNESOTA CANNOT BE STOPPED

I saw Bruce Springsteen for the first time tonight. I was not prepared to cry that much in public.

I played a violin gig today during No Kings and then I went to see a Tunisian music show at the Cedar, and it was amazing

also I have a massive vet bill to pay for Melvin, we don't have test results back but it looks like it might just be behavioral & not something terrible, so if you were thinking about ordering a copy of my Patti Smith chapbook you can use discount code MELVIN: jukeboxgraduate.bigcartel.com

One thing I think is lost on folks who are not in the fight is how people like Ian raise thousands of dollars, covering rent for dozens of families, and STILL feel like it isn’t enough. I see it in everyone who is lending any amount of help. We are tortured by the thought that we can’t do it all.

Cold Spring has 4300 people

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

I know a lot of people are too young to remember our last clusterfuck in the Middle East, but let me tell you: a Democrat saying something even close to this about The Troops would have been flayed alive on the Senate floor.

i 100% understand that absolutely no one normal wants to go to a city council meeting at 9am on a tuesday in the middle of the shit we are living through. we would ALL rather being doing something else. but if you are able to, you have a chance to make a real difference.

$605.72/$700 thank you so much.

so many people message me and ask “what is the need now? and “are all the needs met?” the needs are endless. we are trying to patch 1000 holes. fuck ice. fuck trump.

"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made." -Minnesota native F. Scott Fitzgerald

So much ICE out there today in South Minneapolis. They’re prowling around harassing schools. Stay frosty, friends

I get that media consolidation is bad, but that ship did sail in the US *several* decades ago, and I'm not sure I understand this thing where I'm supposed to be alarmed that CNN, the network that pioneered being immensely shitty and non-substantive about the news, is being taken over by ideologues.

One of my least favorite things is riding a urine-smelling bus for an hour.

Our Somali neighbors make Minnesota better.

This shows why you can’t trust headlines or press conferences from the Trump administration. We still need people out keeping watch and staying vigilant until every last agent is off of our streets.

If you had told me during any run of “Flavor of Love” that Flav would be out here sponsoring women’s Olympic teams and hyping them in the year 2026, I would have thought you were punking me.

Governor and mayor have completely abandoned us to do this on our own. They are nowhere to be found in the most thorough way I can imagine and any value they try to claim for what the rest of us have done is stolen. Mutual aid is so beautiful and it exposes so many failures and abandonments. 4/?

i dont think i ever shared that preorders are open! really the first book of its kind, the history of the US government’s removal of Indigenous children, from colonization to today

I’m so glad that Obama could be courtside at the NBA All-Star game. It’s a great use of his celebrity and political capital and there’s nowhere else he could’ve showed up in the last 3 months that would’ve made as big of an impact.

Had to drop everything and respond for foot patrol because ICE was circling my kid’s school today at pick up. Slowly circling. These guys are assholes of the highest order and intimidation is their only purpose at this point. And they’re still here. Fuck ‘em.

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

I'm glad @racketmn.com wrote this. I also think the rise of influencers and streamers has forced local journalists to step up, not only in verifying and providing context to disturbing footage, but to double down on distinctive reporting. You can't focus on anything if you're focused on everything.

I am deeply honored to have earned the endorsement of MAPE, in my campaign for State Senate in District 50 (Edina & Bloomington). MAPE members are the heartbeat and the engine of our state, and I am proud to have earned their support. 💙

Not just no but hell no. This is from the same top-down consultant class that gave us EaTo (East Town; don’t even ask).

As a Twin Cities resident I am begging people to see that Jacob Frey is not the hero you want him to be. We've known this for quite awhile.

Tell Frey's CEO buddies to bring back niceride and a non crappy open streets

This is such an important thread. CW for mention of trauma and secondary trauma and mention of human rights violations.

BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple. "It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees."

Time for @repangiecraig.bsky.social to lead the effort to repeal the Laken Reilly Act. If you’re serious about being our senator, get moving.

@smith.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com Yesterday Pam Bondi said under oath that there was not a list of observers following ICE. Today Homan said they are investigating agitators and those investigators are not leaving the state. Which is it?

What was that about “security teams” remaining until “agitators” go away? That sounds like sticking around to terrorize citizens.

Homan still calling observers "agitators" saying they are "doxxing" law enforcement. Saying he doesn't want to see any more bloodshed. The only one doing the killing is #ICE. EVERY case they have brought for "agitators" has been thrown out. #TheOccupation

Listening to the Homan press conference and I've realized he sounds too similar to my terrible boss at my first job out of college. Anyway I'll believe anything's over when I see it.
