Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

Trying to flirt with my out-of-town SO. It’s going great.

Look, I really like cake, too, but let’s not get carried away.

(put another way, weird to say, as Rubio does, that Europe produced “the genius…of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones,” who were self-consciously playing music rooted in the traditions of the African diaspora.)

To the driver of the neon green Lamborghini SUV backed into two parking spots, one of them a handicap spot: Yes, I am judging you.

I’m relieved that this violent paramilitary force will be removed from our streets, but I won’t believe it until they're actually gone. Minnesotans deserve justice and accountability, and I won’t stop until we get it.

So Homan's leaving? I knew that $50 in a Culver's bag would seal the deal.

Post a tree you photographed.

Randomly going through old photos, being reminded of how astonishingly beautiful northern New Mexico can be.

The priest just kinda laughed The deacon caught a draft She crashed into the Easter mass With her hair done up in broken glass She was limping left on broken heels And three days later arrested on federal charges

The AI we had in junior high.

Certainly it’s hard to pick a bad taco spot on Lake Street, but one of my common ones is Taqueria La Hacienda. Two of their three locations are closed, and I see they’ve just set up a GoFundMe for their staff. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ta...

Packing my son's backpack for school for the week. Snowpants, Snoopy stuffed animal, blanket for naptime. Packing my bag. ANSI-rated safety goggles, first aid supplies, gas mask.

Like most Americans, I am horrified by the killing of U.S. citizens by ICE agents in Minneapolis in recent days. The death of Alex Jeffrey Pretti — a 37-year-old ICU nurse — on Saturday demands a thorough and independent investigation to ensure accountability. https://tinyurl.com/4cvc7hxt @
