I just looked up from my kitchen sink and looked out the window to see this friend about 10 feet away. Awestruck.

I met a woman in Mpls working as a clerk at a local shop. She had moved from New Orleans. Her Nola landlord had to raise rent bc insurance was so expensive. And this woman moved to Mpls driven, at least in part, to seek lower costs. How do we explain this w/o talking about climate change?

Some of the people I most admire are those who dedicate their lives to the day-to-day government work of keeping us all safe. And the career folks at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission are definitely those people. This is so concerning.

Things that will always be exciting, no matter how often it happens… seeing an owl in my yard. 🦉

The low-maintenance costs (and not having to make the appointments for maintenance like oil changes) are one of the many reasons I love driving an electric car.

I had to do the first-ever maintenance on my 2017 Bolt (which I bought used ~5 years ago). It was making a weird noise. I took it to the dealership, they hooked it up to a computer, it was a quick software fix, cost $200. That's $200 in maintenance across 5 years.

Update on the first bike commute of the season. After a season of being closed, my favorite bridge over the Mississippi River is open! The Dinkytown Greenway Bridge (aka Bridge 9). Isn’t that view just gorgeous?

First bike/bus commute of the season on @metrotransitmn.bsky.social! I’m a bit of a fair-weather bike commuter especially with dark and ice. But new season is here! And I can’t help note it coincides with the onset of $100/barrel oil prices.

I’ve had the honor & pleasure of working with Ashley. So grateful she is bringing her skill & wisdom to this moment in this way. I’m tempted to say her magic, but that isn’t right. She is a talented person who loves her community and stepped up. It feels like magic, but we can all do it in some way.

The twin cities snowstorm was more than i expected! So I last-minute decided to walk/train/bus home from St Paul to Mpls. And I’ve had the best @metrotransitmn.bsky.social experience. The trip advisors on the green line dealt respectfully w/ someone smoking on train. And I caught the 9 bus quickly!

A strong, free, independent press is so important to the civic fabric that makes Minnesota who we are. Grateful for all the folks who do this essential work and proud to contribute to you all.

Bring all the detained children home to Minnesota. And stop detaining children. It is horrifying that this is happening. The educators working so hard to hold their school communities together and sound the alarm for all of us to act are heroes. These educators are heroes who protect kids.

Parents are afraid to send their kids to school, classrooms sit half-empty, children are being taken to detention facilities. We’ve crossed a line. I stood with education leaders to discuss the growing harm federal actions are causing to children, families, and our schools.

Some very good news. And we keep going. We need to keep going to bring more home and stop more from being taken.

I love Mpls. My kid has a small list of safe foods including a v. specific order from our neighborhood pizza shop. Today, 5 mins after ordering, I got a call from them confirming it was right. It wasn’t! The guy making it recognized the order & that it wasn’t right. So, he checked. Dinner saved! 🥺

The horrors are happening across the state. Not just in Minneapolis or the Twin Cities metro.

More children being detained from the Columbia Heights school district. Sickening. I am so angry at the trauma being experience by these kids, their family, and our community. ICE out. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

There isn’t any indication that immigration activity has changed in Minneapolis. In fact, this afternoon, federal immigration agents began staging at Holy Rosary Catholic Church located in East Phillips. This activity is disgraceful and creates an unsafe environment for our neighbors. 1/

Minnesota strong. Grateful for our congresswoman. And grateful she’s okay.

Love you Chicago! My home for 4 years. Thank you for the support. 💪❤️

Calling the residents of Minnesota who have been shown documenting or attempting to witness ICE activities in our midst “protesting” is inaccurate. ICE is ubiquitous. We don’t go to ICE, we see it in our daily lives. Secondly, legal observing is our only recourse to defend ourselves. 👇🏻

Gathered with my neighbors to to light a candle and sing for Alex, for our neighbors in fear, for each other. Courage is not absence of fear. It is feeling fear and showing up anyway.

Join Light up the Night tonight, not a mass gathering in any one place but to get people out of their houses with candles and flashlights in every neighborhood at 7:00. Please spread the word.

He was a nurse and a union member. 💔

sitting here trying to think why this is so heavy on my heart. but. my grandparents survived a genocide that most people don’t know about, that many deny. we have a duty to bear witness and tell the history. we are future ancestors. we have to know the story.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Oh no. My heart breaks for this person shot and our whole community. ICE out

Be aware of black ice this morning Twin Cities people. I saw a dozen turned around and smashed up cars on a mile stretch of freeway between downtown Minneapolis and my neighborhood. I hope everyone is okay.

I’m proud of us Minnesota. We will keep going until ICE is out of our communities. We keep each other safe.

A reminder that @bradtabke.bsky.social won his seat by 14 votes and it took Melissa Hortman 6 weeks of a DFL boycott to get him seated in the Minnesota House. He's been leading efforts in Shopee since ICE targeted his community. F'ing hero, putting it all on the line.

To add to this, make sure you eat enough. Your body needs fuel to stay warm in this cold. And bring snacks that are easy to eat and will give a shot of energy.

Morning in Minneapolis. We are on general strike. And we will be out in force this afternoon to say ICE out of our communities.

Abolish ICE.

The rage and the heartbreak. A little boy. Taken. And used to take another person. Minnesota is not okay. And we will continue to love and fight for our community.

🔁 SHARE WIDELY: This Friday, Jan 23, Minnesotans are taking unified action. ✖️ No Work. ✖️ No School. ✖️ No Shopping. We refuse to accept the violence ICE is inflicting on our communities. 🔗 Visit iceoutnowmn.com to learn more! #ICEOutOfMN #DayOfTruthAndFreedom

I truly love the heart and soul of my city.

I love my city.

I think the scale of this federal invasion in Minnesota is hard to comprehend if you aren’t living amongst it. These comparisons to the size of the police forces in the state help make it a little more straightforward to comprehend.

Heard this story on the drive home. And it piled rage on top of more rage. And it also made me want to hug all the women standing up for and protecting ALL of our community members right now.

Patty has been leading to make our beloved Minnesota community better for years. I’m so grateful that she is sharing her story of being detained and what she observed. It’s terrible. ICE agents are dehumanizing and harming our community. m.youtube.com/watch?si=FKo...

I was desperate for some organization, so I put together a list of places you can donate or buy things for to support folks in Minnesota. If you have places for me to add, please DM me.

I am so grateful for AG Keith Ellison and his whole team. The federal invasion in MN is dangerous and illegal. Grateful our MN attorney general is taking legal action to stop it.

Important information

Kelly Morrison on a Twin Cities ICE facility she & other members of Congress tried to visit: "We were told to leave. We met with 2 of the commanding officers & they told us the reason we were not able to stay & meet with detainees is because the funding for ICE came from the 'Big Beautiful Bill.'"

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

We need ICE out.

A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile. ICE should leave now for everyone’s safety.
