BREAKING: in April 2026, *every single one* of the 1,570 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,066 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else.

Nothing has ever been more For Me than the National Association of Letter Carriers marching in the Mayday parade with anti-war banners

May Day is the beating heart of South Minneapolis. If you want to know how we turned out for our nesting Operation Metro Surge, look to May Day. Minneapolis forever. Community forever.

ICE hasn't stopped in Minnesota, neither have MN50501's volunteer observers at MSP. Yesterday 27 shackled detainees were loaded onto the ICE Air flight in Minneapolis. We're on track to have our 100th ICE flight of the year by the end of the month.

I have two daughters and I think about this all the time. I don't know how I will explain it to them when the time comes. bsky.app/profile/carn...

I missed the anniversary on Thursday, but 4/23/25 was the first time I went to MSP to document an ICE Air flight. I didn't really start taking the advocacy seriously until November, but it's been my full-time fixation since; thank you all for helping me nudge the needle in the right direction.

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

Hennepin County Commissioner Angela Conley with an energetic presentation in favor of saving HCMC and in favor zero waste. It's an uphill climb against the death and trash lobbies.

I started a podcast where the first ad was for “Pepsi Prebiotic Cola” and just WTF are we doing here?

The Senate GOP is selling out America’s public lands to foreign mining.

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

Glückwunsch @wesburdine.bsky.social und @blackhartstp.com!

I love that Minneapolis is a town where a room full of people will sit in absolute silence while someone tunes their banjo in front of a projection of a flower before playing a song about trumpeter swans.

Great idea to cut transit funding right at the outbreak of a prolonged oil shortage. Minnesota lawmakers should do precisely the opposite of what Walz is proposing. streets.mn/2026/04/07/t...

God help us.

The breads are risen, they are risen indeed.

"Is there any sense of decency left in you?" The question that hangs over our age.

there has to be something deeply wrong in your soul to be able to say "idk if this is a genocide and an apartheid state actually"

“Proceeds Will Go To…: A Brief Guide to Selling Art and Merch to Raise Money for Direct Support and Mutual Aid, which is available to download for free…” Great resource at www.birchwoodpalace.com/pdfs

You know someone who deeply loved those books, who read them over and over, who cosplayed as Harry and Hermione and "Steampunk Hermione," who identified as a Ravenclaw and quietly fantasized about how maybe it was real and a Hogwarts Letter would someday arrive? MY TRANS KID. Fuck you, JKR.

In the words of the great Frederick Douglass about the cult of Robert E. Lee, “is it it not about time that this bombastic laudation of the rebel chief should cease?”

Testified in the Senate Jobs Committee today on behalf of small business relief and the importance of trusted partners in getting funding out. We’re working on $100m in small business relief grants, contact your electeds to support here: mstr.app/0fb743ce-116...

Who needs therapy when you can complain about the same minor inconvenience to six friends at different times until you are sick of your own bullshit and suck it up?

It was my contribution to participatory democracy to be in the Give Ilhan a Gundam walking subcaucus.

Walked through my neighborhood, from Nicollet & 36th down to Cedar, and back on 35th. Documenting the people’s messages to ICE, the handmade rage, sorrow, and solidarity. Collective memory is important. The Winter of 2026 will live on.

🚨🍦 ATTN South Minneapolis: 38th street Dairy Queen is open! 🚨🍦

Every single sentence of these two passages gets worse. But if this opinion piece was just "Anders Folk is a partner at Jones Day," that would be enough to make him my enemy.

If you want a delightful slice of life, come to Nickelodeon Universe on Eid, with all the families dressed up and going on rides. Also a lovely reminder that kids are kids are kids.

BREAKING: Two more people have died in ICE detention, per latest notification to Congress.

Daily Memo: ICE Surge In Southern California With Nearly 20 Reported Incidents in One Day

St. Paul, Minnesota, tonight.

Ossoff: "The American people need to know that the president is fundraising for his political campaign and his PAC using images of American service members killed in action, and it's a disgrace"

Spurs have been ludicrously crap in 2026, but after a humiliating 20 minutes in the Champions League last week, have come back with organization and fight. Newcastle, Chelsea, and Man City all get bounced from the tournament with worse scorelines. COYS!

Civil Rights icon, @doloreshuerta, made a brave move today, revealing a secret she had been holding for 60 years for the sake of the Farm Workers movement. You can read her letter here: medium.com/@dolores_hue...

"The govt, in the middle of an energy 'emergency' Trump declared & an energy price spike he precipitated by invading Iran, is proposing to spend nearly $1b in public funds to ensure that *less energy gets produced* b/c the current occupant of the WH lost a lawsuit 20 years ago & never got over it."

I wrote about falling out of the habit of shopping at Target. www.startribune.com/national-tar...

Buttigieg: "We lived through a war that was sold to us on false pretenses when I was younger. This war has not been sold on any pretense. The president just went ahead and did it."

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

lmao

Minnesotans deserve restitution from ICE's terror campaign. The ICE surge cost Minneapolis $200 million in just one month. That’s before overtime, charter flights, and detention contracts. Taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to subsidize their own trauma.

Country Joe just passed away, but we’ve got Jesse Welles for our 21st Century Fixin’ to Die rags.

DHS agents are still here in our community in plain clothes scouting out immigrant owned businesses on Central, knocking on neighbors doors, swapping out licenses plates in cars without registration, and driving dangerously in our community.

“Can we pray for the moms as well? Or just the babies?” Allie Phillips bravely told a pro-FAILED abortion death penalty bill group her story of fleeing Tennessee for a life-saving abortion Men tried to intimidate/stop her. She persisted: www.instagram.com/reel/DVuUJfm...
