It's so gorgeous and yet I just can't with the heat.

ICE plans to reopen the Prairie Correctional Facility in Appleton as a 1,600-bed detention center run by private prison giant CoreCivic, and be one of the of the largest ICE facilities in the Midwest. Prairie isn't open yet. Call your congressperson. Organize. Speak out. Stop it before it opens.

Our poor cat just cannot BELIEVE how ok we are with the thunder. He keeps hiding under the couch, and briefly coming out to stare at us before he shoots back down.

I get steamed about this kind of crap. These bridges and sidewalks are bare minimum mobility for people screwed by freeway infrastructure. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

I like to be proven wrong on things like this. I didn't think batteries would scale quickly enough to matter any time soon.

Remember all those conversations about whether this or that new thing would be the signal that we were in a constitutional crisis? How quaint that all sounds.

MN friends! If you have capacity to help, here are some ways to support the folks resisting ICE in NJ right now: reimaginednews.beehiiv.com/p/support-th...

We really did need this rain, too.

DFL: moment of silence for the Hortmans GOP: moment of silence for Chauvin

What a lovely day! We biked to a 5.5 year old birthday party at Lake Nokomis Playground. But, Minneapolis really needs to invest in cargo bike friendly bike racks next to every playground (and pool) across the city.

South Minneapolis friends: ICE activity is high today. Please keep your eyes out.

After six years, this doofus has finally deemed it acceptable for me to trim his claws if a) I am very very fast and b) I only do a single paw and c) he is deeply asleep when I begin. Huge improvement!

The Economy being good means nothing to me because it's a measure of how confident assholes feel in their line going up, and everything they do to make the line go up hurts me and devastates everyone who's doing worse than me. This isn't fucking rocket surgery.

I want to have lunch at St Martin's Table and dinner at Evergreen (the first in large part for the vibes, the second for allllll the delicious vegan dishes).

Hey so what happened with this? I don't see anything on the front page of the NYTimes or WaPo. Not that those are the ultimate sources, it just seems... odd.

Being a resident of Minneapolis and a journalist who works with whistleblowers and wants to prioritize source confidentiality and safety, this is my primary concern: www.404media.co/proton-mail-... Beyond that, it's an accessibility nightmare. It doesn't function well on mobile or with big files.

She needs $1700 to keep her place, and if we can't come up with that by Monday anything she gets will go towards staying in a hotel until she can find a shelter space. Her kids are 1 and 3, they deserve to be with their mom. Please help- $layannajean paypal kkeezer21

Good morning. The city of Minneapolis is planning to launch a pilot program for Drone First Responders, partnering with Skydio, a company who sent drones to Israel to support them in carrying out genocide. These drones, designed for surveillance, will be “responding” to 911 calls.

My kingdom for an “opt in” model

Happy Mother's Day

Keep thinking about all the ICE OUT and similar signs across Minneapolis. It's a lot, everywhere. So finally decided to do some math. Source I found says 4,926 blocks in Minneapolis My very rough estimate is 4-5 houses/businesses w/ signs per block on average 4,926 x 4.5 = 22,167 (More below🧵)

<3 Gavin is such a hyperbole-and-a-half dog! hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2011/04/wild...

its extremely obvious that the strib is run by people who fucking hate this place and I wish they would just move somewhere else and shut the fuck up

Post your warning sign.

Frey, what is wrong with you?!?

I love you, Minneapolis. 💚

The thing about the old saying that "one bad apple spoils the barrel" is that what you have at the end is not one bad apple, but an entire barrel of spoiled apples. And it all needs to be thrown out. Every last cop. I mean apple.

Asking my waitstaff what happened to all of those customers last night "You told me to 86 'em, boss, I ain't thought you wan'ed that kinda thing on da record"

For everyone who's asked me "is it over?":

Oh yay - just noticed the Minneapolis and St. Paul feed is back! 🎉

I'm a prison librarian and our book club class is covering Legendborn by Tracy Deonn. Today one of my students said that his daughter is also getting a copy so they can have their own mini book club over the phone, and I just 🥹. Books are such a powerful tool for fostering connection. 📚📜

We hope to see you this Thursday ♥️

Today in social justice toolkit: A dilemma action is a strategic action that forces your opponent into a lose-lose situation. You've given them only bad options. I give some examples & then we talk about how to design them. This one's pretty important. Read and share, please?

Trump has straight up lied about the Strait of Hormuz being open half a dozen times at this point. the fact that media outlets are still reporting each alleged reopening as if it can be trusted is a dereliction of their journalistic duty

allergies kicking my ass today

Spring is weird.

I genuinely believe that people don't appreciate just how much of all the bad vibes right now are still largely a COVID hangover. It was a profoundly traumatizing event for American society, on the order of the civil war or the great depression and we've largely decided to just pretend

I don’t think any of us can think of a joke construction that tops “the Pope is weak on crime”

This administration is just a huge advertisement for why diversity, equity and inclusion are important to the function of a healthy society.

Izakaya Kazama is open, and it's great! Particularly recommend the miso grilled cod. www.izakayakazama.com

Evictions are up (over 60% in March), and the only reason the eviction rate wasn’t even higher was because of massive mutual aid efforts across the city. We still have a gap of $13,000. Please share our gofundme widely and please donate again, if you can. 💵 🌼 🥰 🏠 www.gofundme.com/f/support-mi...
