Yep I think my students sneezed and coughed directly in my face one too many times because I'm definitely sick. Ugh. At least I have a three day weekend

"Mr. President, you have been duly warned—now by the GOP."

Also for those who aren't from Minnesota, Cedar-Riverside is a neighborhood in Minneapolis that is extremely diverse and home to a large number of immigrants, particularly Somali. It's no doubt on purpose they chose this particular neighborhood 🥺🥺

I'm hearing there's a counter rally being planned this weekend (of the pro ice, anti Muslim variety) near Cedar-Riverside. If you are in that area please be careful 🥺and check up on your neighbors

Is it possible to post something so that only followers can see? Like you can on other platforms?

I'm so tired that I am fighting to stay awake. I ordered food because I am definitely not cooking and now it's a fight to not fall asleep before the food arrives lol. I've not gotten good sleep all week and it's caught up to me. My nose is now stuffy and my throat hurts

Trump is threatening to send in the troops to Minnesota. I just watched a video of an ice agent slipping on the ice next to man protesting, then turn around and beat that protester to the ground as if it's his fault he slipped. Yet us Minnesotans are the problem?

Someone literally just blocked me because he was insisting that me not boycotting Taylor Swift is the reason why everything is so bad right now. 🙄 I guess if that's true he better also he boycotting every form of mainstream media... Music, TV, books, etc. Of everyone who isn't out protesting?

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person. Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured. BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

A single federal agent with a long gun just walked through the crowd, slipped on the ice on his way under the police tape. Dropped his loaded clip.

Another one.

Wait? Another one in Minneapolis???

BREAKING: TIM WALZ: "If you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record." "Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution."

Maga has repeatedly said that "school shootings are a part of the job. Deal with it or choose a different profession." so I guess I will throw those words back at them. It's a risk of the job, if you didn't want it to happen, should have chosen a different profession!

Today all my students seemed to have all their energy back in full swing. I, however, did not. 😂 I must have missed that memo lol. I better come better prepared for tomorrow 🤣🤣

The rest of the group is at Tuesday night bingo, and I just went straight home. You know I gotta be tired when I skip bingo 😴

I'm literally so tired I looked up from my planning session with my colleague and said "I'm sorry but I think I just need to go home now" 😂😂 I'm practically falling asleep at my desk!

Definitely need to focus on taking better care of myself so I can better take care of my students!

I just stressed cleaned my kitchen and living room lol. It's ok though. It needed it. But now it's midnight and I'm wide awake

My friends school has just gone distance learning for the rest of the month. She said only a third of her students were at school today. 🥺

I reported them for hate speech lol. Also blocked. They don't belong here!

I'm back to stress cleaning. I have a student who I have not heard from since mid December. At first I assumed they were just choosing to stay home. Now I'm actually getting worried. Going to ask how we can do a wellness check safely tomorrow 😢 and find out how I can help them 😢😢

It's so hard to focus on normal everyday things with everything going on in my community right now. Like even the golden globes yesterday felt so silly and trivial I couldn't even watch it. 😢

Ice is now going door to door in the twin cities, and apparently breaking down doors of people who don't let them in? Completely unconstitutional. Ice has no authority over US citizens whatsoever.

So Trump has cut off funds to Minnesota as retaliation basically. That includes money for food stamps and children's lunches at school. For a party that claims prolife, they really hate children don't they?

I just took a five hour long nap. And with my wrist brace on, it's the first time my fingers have not gone numb while I'm sleeping in years. That's wild

This agency is out of control if leadership is no longer checking violations of constitutional rights. Congress absolutely must step in before more people are kidnapped/killed.

Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

So I've been having arm and hand issues all week. I assumed it was my shoulder (tendinitis) causing these issues, and today after my fingers have been going numb for like 60% of my day, I finally decided to look up how to treat it. Well it turns out due to which fingers are tingling and which (cont)

I need to feel some joy again. This week has been literally the hardest week I experienced in a very long time (and again has nothing to do with my job either).

So on Wed evening I saw three black SUVs in my apartment parking lot that looked kinda like gov vehicles. Today after finding out ice was literally blocks from where I live today, I now 100% believe they were literally in my apartment parking lot. 😳

Minneapolis/twin cities residents help spread the word, the Costco parking lot in St Louis Park has been looking rather Icy today.....

Also I just woke up not too long ago from a four hour long nap. While that may seem excessive for a nap, that was actually the most sleep I got in one sitting all week lol 😂 and the good news is I'm still tired so I'm thinking a full night's sleep is also in order

Stephen Miller’s cousin 👇🏽

My cat threw up on the floor and she keeps trying to bury it and seems very upset that it doesn't seem to be working 🤦

I just watched a video where an ice agent in Minneapolis purposely walked over to Renee Goods memorial and kicked it over. Wtf is wrong with people 🤬

My tendinitis in my elbow is acting up again. Frustrating

Renee Nicole Good 🕯

Meanwhile near where they killed Renee Good ICE was terrorizing a high school — and now Minneapolis has canceled school for the week. None of this is about safety. A lawless regime with no guardrails.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "We owe it to this woman, to her family, and to the American public to ensure that an investigation does occur and follows all the available evidence to its logical conclusion."

Apparently today ice showed up to Roosevelt high school in Minneapolis and handcuffed two staff members during their dismissal time. Many students were forced to take shelter in a nearby library. That's the big reason for Minneapolis schools to be canceled the next two days

Minneapolis schools are closed the next two days because of what happened today. My friends school is Richfield is also closed the next two days. Still waiting to hear about mine.

I noticed a ton of helicopters (way more than usual) in the vicinity of Minneapolis on my drive home from work tonight. I counted at least 4-5 separate helicopter lights, and they are just circling around the area, pretty low too.

I'm really anxious about what happened in Minneapolis today and about the prospect of having what happened after George Floyd happen again. I understand the need for mass protests, but I live a couple miles from where this took place and I'm anxious about my potential safety too... (cont)

Today has been a hard day that has absolutely nothing to do with student behavior. Ugh. I can't have another night without sleeping though, I'm going to have to take something tonight I think 😴 also I forgot I have to present again for the whole school at the assembly Friday 😬

So now ICE can apparently just shoot whoever they want in the head now?

Ugh the stoplight was out on top of the roads being suuuuper icy this morning, my 7 minute commute turned into almost 20 minutes 😭 I hate being late to work!

Am I really about to cross off my first bingo square only a week into the new year?
