When this happens to me, I like to talk about the number of times I have been nearly killed by automobiles while riding exactly perfectly, and I use the phrase “entitlement boxes”. I’m also kind of an argumentative bitch, so…

Legal defense fund for the Minnesota 15. Please share and support them! We keep us safe 💙🤍🩵

Human Rights Watch has released a comprehensive report detailing human rights abuses by the government during this winter’s immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, which the group alleges also violates international human rights treaties that the U.S. is signed onto.

Really need people to stop saying that the Minnesota 15 are going to be fine, that their charges will be dropped like ours. That was four days before trial, was NOT supposed to happen, and only did because of persistent, diligent, and incredible work by our lawyers.

"The DOJ is nothing but a blunt, brutal weapon, deployed to destroy people’s lives with laughable investigations and ginned-up charges. The indictment of 15 Minnesotans is meant to terrorize, not to fully and fairly lay out support for the charges." — @snipy.bsky.social

"This is the latest turn of the ratchet in criminalizing resistance to ICE. If you thought the convictions of the anti-ICE demonstrators in Prairieland, Texas were egregious, this time, the Justice Department isn't even alleging any actual act of violence. " www.forever-wars.com/the-next-ste...

5 hours after your constituents were arrested on bogus federal charges from an agency you purport to regret having funded, you’ve said…Nothing. Noted.

While the killers of Renée Good and Alex Pretti walk free, the DOJ is busy bringing bogus charges against protesters. The Administration thinks intimidation will make us back down. They keep learning the same lesson: Minnesotans don't scare easily. We organize for our rights ✊🏽

As the government raids “antifa groups” in Minneapolis with the SAME charges levied against myself and the rest of the Broadview Six, we need to be asking how they got this indictment. And as charges (hopefully) get dropped, we must remember the process is the punishment.

There are multiple arrests of observers happening in the Twin Cities today. If you go out, please have your security settings on and seriously consider having a buddy with you

OCEANIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY CLOSE TO A DEAL WITH EURASIA

Twin Cities- Did you get out of the habit of carrying a whistle? It’s time to tag back in ICE vehicles have been spotted in many neighborhoods this week. Form a crowd, stay loud, and protect our neighbors.

I am just about $30 short of raising $1000 for the M150. Raising $1000 can provide vehicle modifications for someone living with MS so they can remain independent longer. I know this year has been tough for us Minneapolitans, but if you are able to help: events.nationalmssociety.org/participants...

Anoka Pride Day was lovely, joyous & beautifully diverse racially, in terms of class & ability, & intergenerationally. The organizers did an exceptional job, & were tremendously attentive to all participants. Everyone is made better by the people that were there for Pride in any capacity today. 🌈

when i was biking in cedar riverside tonight, a somali guy asked me if ICE was coming back, and thanked me for still looking out. i was out taking photos, not patrolling specifically, but a good reminder that we must still continue to be vigilant for our immigrant neighbors, this work still matters

From the archives: [At the gay club] HIM: “Dude, what’s in your pocket?” ME: “Oh, I’m just doing the handkerchief code thing.” HIM: “That’s a semaphore flag. Where did you even get this?” [Meanwhile, at sea] SAILOR: “Sir, the merchant frigate has indicated that it’s a bottom into blowjobs.”

This is 100% the accurate take, but people have been driving the wrong way down one ways and similar for decades, I’d swear in part because they are too impatient to just go around the goddamned block. This medians take is the Idiocracy version

People have been asking me if I know of a resource like StandWithMinnesota for New Jersey, and I haven't found something comprehensive. So, for the moment, I have put together all the links to NJ orgs, crowdfunding links, events, and stuck them on a page of SWM. standwithminnesota.org/jersey

Have employers considered that their employees don’t want to come to the office because they hire lameasses who have nothing interesting to say?

I'm not saying we should abandon electrical technology, it's very good. But I will say I think we should return to mechanical means for many things. You do not need an app for your door lock. You do not need a smart fridge. You do not need a coffee machine with a camera. Bring back the mechanical.

A proven champion who can deliver for working families. Peggy Flanagan is the Minnesota DFL endorsed candidate for U.S. Senate! 💚

It drives me and @marcwarnest.bsky.social crazy that you can plan to be early for an appointment via public transit but then all the buses are late and you’re still stressed about being late

How often is UPS just an overpriced middle man between you and the US Postal Service?

I think we know…

There absolutely is a need to invest large sums into modernizing the State of Minnesota's IT infrastructure, but I've yet to see anything that suggests fraud was an IT issue.

In addition to everything else, my parents are grappling with how expensive assisted living care is and I need a root canal. Which is scheduled for May 19, but goddammit.

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.
