did we ever find out who the third person in the car with Engen and Hudson was? 👀

Trying to avoid Magnifica Humanitas takes until I've been able to read through it myself and develop my own first

I made this meme some years ago and it just popped up in my phone photo memories and… welp.

From a clergy friend on the ground at Delaney— this is how they’re asking people to help:

they’re shooting crowd control munitions at crowds that include multiple members of congress, the governor, and a sitting united states senator. they fired pepper balls at the senator. they cannot and will not be reigned in by democracy, whatever’s left of it.

Can’t believe that Andy Kim is in two of the most haunting pictures of the last few years.

"NJ Governor Sherrill says she’s been denied entry into Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark... Roughly 300 detainees had gone on a hunger strike to protest conditions they describe as inhumane." DHS denies the strike is happening. 🎥 from @nj.com: www.instagram.com/reel/DYxIJaO...

Six years ago, George Floyd was murdered by the Minneapolis Police Department. This injustice caused a worldwide racial reckoning and highlighted the disparities facing Black residents. These issues are still prevalent today and they must be addressed. 1/

The first Memorial Day dates to 1865 when members of Black churches re-buried Union soldiers from a mass grave in a Confederate prison camp to individual grave sites. Memory of the event was later suppressed. apnews.com/31e1623c7565...

A Minneapolis neighborhood school created a @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social registry of books to send home with kids for the summer, and Moon Palace is selling them at a 20 percent discount! Order the books for local students at this link by May 29 moonpalacebooks.com/gift-registr...

What he's describing here is The Babysitter's Club. He had the same genius solution as a twelve-year-old in the 1980s, just without the guardrails of community. Bravo.

Indigenous-led organization receives property from Minneapolis church as an act of reparation www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Three selfless men, likely, saved the lives of over a hundred children.

There are a hundred "Is Mamdani Being Insensitive to Jews By Acknowledging that Palestinians Are Human?" stories in outlets like the NY Times, meanwhile multiple Republican politicians LITERALLY say that all Muslims are terrorists who should be expelled from the U.S. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/n...

We identified 273 individuals with valid work permits who were arrested during Operation Metro Surge. That number is almost certainly an undercount.

Our hearts break with each new emerging detail from the deadly, hate-fueled shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego.

In light of the anti-Muslim horror in San Diego, I am reposting this reminder: Prejudice toward Muslims is highest among all religious and ethnic groups www.brookings.edu/articles/pre...

My preferred chub rub solution (a simple, non-binding slip short by Jockey) appears to have been discontinued?!?!? The broader line is available but the options are ~shapewear~ which I've made a very intentional decision to NOT buy.

“Imagine being the first House Speaker in state history who is also the mother of two school shooting victims and conveniently deferring a gun control bill to the next legislative session,” Shelisa Demuth posted about her mother, House Speaker Lisa Demuth, on Thursday.

“I had a miscarriage, OK? A miscarriage. Why are you guys here over a f**king miscarriage?” Rousseau responded to the deputy. I hope she sues every fucking person involved in this horrific incident. This is outrageous. www.cnn.com/2026/05/16/u...

“I’m just so goddamn fed up with all this,” Gina Small, 29, said in a comment on the U.S. economy that one of her friends assumed was about the world’s ongoing humanitarian crises, another friend thought was about the weaponization of America’s military against its own people.

I need Metro Transit to create more efficient routes from downtown Saint Paul to Northeast Minneapolis. Tons of community events and businesses I'd like to explore and support (including breweries, so I'd prefer to not drive) but the trip would take me over an hour!

Reproductive justice is about more than birth control and abortion rights. For white women, it has always been about the freedom FROM having children. For Black and Indigenous women, a major part of the historical and ongoing struggle is the freedom TO have children, and to raise them.

I understand that not everyone lives somewhere that makes biking, walking, and transit an option, but lots of people do live where those are viable options and there's no time like the present to explore them. People need to break out of their existing habits and try something new.

Something that I learned very quickly working at the legislature is that you need a truly HEALTHY ego to run for office AND govern effectively.

NEW: We've spent 10 months tracking the outcomes in tens of thousands of lawsuits brought by ICE detainees amid an unprecedented detention push. It's not a cose call: judges have ruled more than 10,000 times against ICE, a 9-1 ratio. See the database: www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

I was just thinking the city council drama has been too concentrated in Minneapolis lately.

10,000 rulings: The courts’ overwhelming rebuke of Trump’s ICE policies By Kyle Cheney POLITICO analysis reveals judges have ruled against ICE detention practices in roughly 90% of cases since the agency mandated millions of immigrants must be locked up while they face deportation proceedings.

3 actual quotes from this piece: “Can I afford the tax? Yes. Is it going to deter me? No. But I think it’s shameful. I provide a lot of money to people who are blue-collar workers who work for me, servers in restaurants." giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

I read a hell of a lot of news and I did not hear a peep about this until tonight, even though this came out days ago. This is shocking stuff. His ex-wife and victim is a Republican senator's daughter! He also assaulted Stephanie Grisham, the former White House press secretary!

this is also one of my hobbyhorses. you want a better caliber of lawmaker? you want to reduce the odds of corruption? pay them more. a lot more.

Folks! Who do you think can apply for a low paying, high prestige job? It's neither average people (representative) nor salaried technical experts (massive pay cut). It's people who don't need the income!

The fact that if I ran for local office and won, I would have to take a pay cut to manage a $1.3 billion budget and make decisions that directly impact the well-being of half a million people is kind of insane. Unpopular but true: we under-pay our often disappointing politicians.

Today the Senate passed SF 3699, the ICE Accountability & Justice Package. I want to thank Ron Latz for lead authoring this critical legislation with me, which bans masks, restricts ICE at schools, courthouses, & hospitals, and gives Minnesotans their day in court.

Allows people to sue agents who violate their constitutional rights, keeps ICE officers from masking to conceal their identities, and ensures the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigates when a federal agent shoots someone. (2/2)

Minnesotans know the harm caused by President Trump’s disastrous ICE incursion. Today, the Minnesota Senate took a step to bring Minnesotans justice - especially Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and Liam Conejo Ramos. The bill bans ICE from schools, day cares, and hospitals and (1/2)

today I saw a Frey sign....in a Saint Paul yard?!? I was both angry and confused

The DFL-controlled Senate last week passed a 46-page package that includes bans on assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines, more funding for school security and mental health care, and several other provisions. But all significant gun control attempts in the House have failed to advance.

After literal YEARS of wanting to go on a solo spiritual retreat and a combination of life's twists and turns and my own procrastination delaying it, I have finally booked something for several days this August!

the person has Been Through It and I love that they’re weaponizing their trauma for good

The Pike’s Peak Humane Society has a social media manager who is very good at their job

Hard to pick one favorite but I really like JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound covering Wilco's "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart" www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK6V...

“officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.”

Moment of silence before the Lynx game for Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Some Fuck Ice yells after.

This administration continues to work very hard to kill us faster.

How am I busier — as a state senator in a *part time legislature* — than the freaking secretary of transportation for the WHOLE WIDE COUNTRY

A must-read thread 🧵

In case you needed more proof that hockey is a Republican sport, spouse has the Flyers-Avalanche game on and we were just accosted with a Lisa Demuth ad🙅‍♀️
