My extended family is on vacation in Florida this week and I just received this text

the best funeral food is cheesy potatoes, end of story. when we were kids, my brother asked if more old relatives could die so we could have some

During the active Operation Metro Surge, federal agents arrested an average of about 33 people a day. About 30 of those arrested were age 16 and under. One of the arrests involved a child who was just two or three years old. A handful were over 70 years old. (4)

A lot of people did really incredible things during the occupation but man, Haven Watch gets me emotional every time I think about someone walking out of Whipple with no coat, shoes, or phone, scared and just trying to reach their people. Haven Watch is up there with the best of humanity

“Fuck ICE” is Minnesota’s “Aloha.” It means hello, goodbye, and represents our spirit. Thank you for the kind words, Chet.

despicable. fuck this.

I had a scrapbook of newspaper articles about the Oklahoma City Bombing

Dog’s Eye Gunk Wiped Back On Dog

BREAKING: Two police dogs at separate airports have reportedly bitten ICE agents today.

I can't state it enough, but keeping Keith Ellison in the AG's office is *the* most critical election this fall

I might be in the market for a new (to me) bike for the first time in like 20 years. twin cities bike friends, where can I buy a new or used bike for not a gazillion dollars?

Duffy‘s DOT released 4 NOFOS so far this year, dozens below average YTD, and is withholding critical bridge funding that is 18 months overdue

Got a little teary and fuck ICE

People magazine??? 👀 This is a first for @stpaulpublibrary.bsky.social and for me! Thank you @rominagarber.bsky.social for writing Lobizona, coming to Saint Paul, and writing this powerdul piece. people.com/book-bans-ro...

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Goodbye and good riddance.

the replies are not getting the extremely local angle, A+ work to Smith's team

Laura Harvey sitting on a cooler... We are SO back.

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

I wanna see this mfer try to survive a week on SNAP

I have literally watched something like 5 hours of this DOGE bro testimony. I'm completely obsessed, it's weirdly captivating. The circular arguments, the disdain from everyone involved, a true pleasure to watch Follow 404 Media on Instagram (www.instagram.com/404mediaco/) for more like this

It is 2026 and we are not fucking doing this anymore. EIGHT WOMEN came forward and told stories of Franken GROPING AND FORCIBLY KISSING THEM. The man was a sexual abuser. He did not and does not belong in congress. Fucking period. End of conversation.

a big part of being 40 is having terrible neck pain and then spending increasingly large amounts of money in search of the perfect pillow

Picked up this bad boy walking in Saint Paul’s Pride contingent this year, this is my only contribution to the jacket discourse

FUCK ICE chant just broke out during the moment of silence at the start of the Loons game

#MNUFC Wonderwall tifo.

Giving it a 100% chance we get an ICE out/fuck ICE chant at the mnufc game today

Back in my day, presidents used to spend months fabricating evidence and making justifications to the country and UN for the wars they wanted to start

Some of you like dogs, in which case you may appreciate that guide dogs of Team GB for the Paralympics get official photos

I hope every single woman I dated last year has a great time at the Brandi Carlisle show tonight

The Supreme Court:

Show me the lie

DOG AT THE OLYMPICS FULL COMPETITION HIGHLIGHTS

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state. Tell them it will find your dog.

Watching luge and someone at the slide keeps blowing whistles and it’s stressing me out, we had to pause and make sure it’s on the tv

definitely heard a report of ICE napping in their car this weekend

It really bums me out that Klobuchar, who was instrumental in normalizing Trump as just another political adversary, is almost certainly going to be the next governor of Minnesota, a state currently paying a severe price for that normalization of fascism.

“There’s no single answer that will solve all our future problems. There’s no magic bullet. Instead there are thousands of answers—at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.” ― Octavia E. Butler, A Few Rules for Predicting the Future: An Essay

in addition to being a fucking disgusting thing to ask a sex offender, just more proof that Elon Musk is profoundly uncool

incredible how Kevin Hassett comes out here three times a week to publicly humiliate himself by groveling for the Fed Chair job that he was never going to get in the first place

And there's no mistake that the the feds are going after Black journalists. Absolutely 0%.

I am nominating Saint Paul for the FIFA Peace Prize.

the idea of ICE going to another city after this is like a gut punch. As much as I don't want them here, I don't want them to do this to anyone else ever again. It needs to end here.

means-testing social aid is demeaning, inefficient, and expensive. if you want to look for fraud in welfare, look for the consultants making bank off trying to keep people from receiving aid

Honestly the longer ICE stays here the more advantage we gain. They have to be gone by spring. If the bike whackos get a shot at patrol it’s OVER.
