Fascism wants you to believe that you are alone. That you are isolated. That the feelings you have are yours and nobody else has them because everybody is too afraid to speak. But love is stronger than fascism. Community is stronger than fascism.

Also, my tater tots hotdish was damn tasty tonight. The secret is the season the hell out if it.

Normally my tater tot to hotdish ratio is much higher, but sometimes we have to sacrifice for the message

Federal judge: "ICE has likely violated more court orders [96] in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence." youtu.be/OxcKZlHKCH4?...

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all. Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Flying to visit family today. I got to see the “ICE OUT” message on Lake Nokomis from the air

Resharing this request: I have a good Spanish-language video, but am still looking for relatively short MN-specific “Know your rights” videos in Somali and Hmong

it's this, y'all 👇🏼 they absolutely want someone to get got as cover for unleashing even more terror and violence on citizens

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.

Minneapolis Sunday brunch date: tacos and then shopping at Smitten Kitten

My Huong Kitchen was already one of my favorite restaurants. Once I went and the owner gave us a few bean seedling to plant in our garden, another time she gave us mint and basil cuttings that rooted and I planted.

Gotta remind yourself not to cry when you see the kid's signs. It's negative -25°F and tears are dangerous. "LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!" "ICE GIT OUT YA FUCKIN DUMBIES 😡"

This rings so true for me especially these last few weeks. Days when I’ve found even one or two small things to do, I’ve felt far less exhausted.

I'm looking for videos that explain MN-specific, know your rights information in Spanish, Somali, and Hmong. Does anyone have good, vetted videos?

It's 21° in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway, & 31° in Utqiaġvik (northernmost US city) and -20 in Minneapolis right now, in case you're wondering where the Arctic weather is right now. The arctic weather is covering MN & other Canadian border states & so much of Canada. Stay warm, folks!

This was a thread I needed to read. Maybe you do, too

I feel like my local Bluesky followers have mostly seen these resources already, but if you have less-connected friends who are trying to figure out how to pitch in on our current community project, feel free to use this link: naomikritzer.com/2026/01/19/h...

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.

After decades of conservatives telling us that the only way the government would take their guns is from their “cold dead hands”. Did they not think some Americans might have a similar attachment to their friends and neighbors?

I am on the ground with other council members near Portland and 33rd St E in the Central neighborhood where residents saw federal agents shoot a legal observer. This is a terrifying escalation of Trump’s attacks on our communities. ICE out of Minneapolis NOW.

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

Oh, this is amazing. Feeling a bit Assoured today, honestly

I was driving so I couldn’t get a picture, so you’ll just have to trust me when I say that the flowering trees on Minnehaha parkway today are spectacular

Tom Holland’s epic lip sync battle performance and stormwater management? Ok, sure. Why not. neorsd.medium.com/what-tom-hol...

If you are federal employee in MN who has been fired or otherwise affected by the current administration's machinations, Racket would be happy to hear from you at [email protected].

“We’re not going anywhere. What’s more: we’re expanding.” Nearly a dozen of Minnesota’s foremost experts on gender-affirming care collaborated on this beautiful op-ed in today’s Strib. No paywall.

It’s a fancy focaccia kind of night (decorations by my 14 yo). I’ll have post baking photos in about 20 min.

I keep wanting to send this to just about everyone I know

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

Ice Shanties on Lake Harriet on a sunny day is one of my favorite Minneapolis things

If you see this, quote with flowers from your gallery

What thing do you own that has lasted for decades, and still works perfectly? This was my grandmother’s kitchenAid that she got something like 3 years after I was born, so it’s over 45 years old. I’ve had it for at least 25 years and it gets used regularly

It’s interesting reading all of these as I’m watching my oldest apply to college and try to figure out what they want to study

If you went to college 1. what was your career goal when you started? 2. your initial major? 3. if you changed majors, what did you change to? 4. what do you do now? 1. Geologist 2. Geology 3. Didn’t change, did add an environmental studies minor 4. Run a national storm drain stewardship program

Great discovery this evening with @solusandra.bsky.social that toasted marshmallow and pretzel chips are a great combo
