When you run into friends, neighbors and coworkers at a memorial, when you show up to help and run into so many other helpers, when someone you’ve never met before hugs you in thanks, it highlights the absolute best parts of humanity. We keep each other safe.

34,000 signing up for this work AFTER seeing their fellow citizens gunned down by federal thugs in cold blood? I'm chugging whatever the opposite of doomerism is

I don’t think I could love Minneapolis more. Thousands of bikers, including a sleepy Joey, came out to ride bikes while remembering and honoring Alex Pretti today.

i fucking love my country minneapolis

My love fucking overflows for my neighbors. I have lived 66 years and this is an absolute peak emotion.

Kao Kalia Yang is one of Minnesota’s greatest writers. I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing her a couple of times and she is every bit as lovely and poetic and magic as her work.

The Hortmans were assassinated seven months ago. The Annunciation Church school shooting was five months ago. Renee Good was murdered three weeks ago to the day. It has been eight days since they took 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father. It has been four days since Alex Pretti was murdered.

The needs have intensified x10 since I shared this fundraiser earlier in Dec. Help us help our neighbors in Minneapolis: PayPal.me/lyndalepto

“The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once.”

This is Minneapolis. Literally every corner along Lake St. packed with people holding candles, many singing, honoring a person who by all accounts was an absolute gem of a human, whose life was tragically stolen by a fascist, paramilitary occupation force.

Barely holding it together while I let my son play five more minutes of Zelda before we go grocery shopping for his schoolmate’s family who’s afraid to leave the house. I don’t know what we’re supposed to do either

once again i am asking literally anyone in a position of power to do literally anything so that our neighbors stop getting fucking murdered in the street

You know Minnesotans are gonna turn out in droves for the Ice Out March tomorrow when Shorts Guys are still out here in -22 degree windchill.

I've been here 24 hours, but already with what I've seen, well, I genuinely believe we're going to win. People here are well aware that what happens here impacts the entire country, that it sets the tone for resistance. ICE is angry, ICE is terrified, of how deeply unpopular it is.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

“I am not scared, and we will not be scared. We know our rights. We’re U.S. citizens and we’re going to continue to show up,” Halimo said. Amazing story.

UPDATE: There are 39,205 ballots that didn't rank Frey or Fateh #1. Minneapolis says if Frey picks up 12,512 votes, he wins outright. If Fateh picks up 27,342 votes, he wins outright. After Round 1, Fateh (46,510 votes) trails Frey (61,340) by 14,830 votes. vote.minneapolismn.gov/results-data...
