“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor”—Tupac

My message to MNUFC is this: you have the fan base you have, and you better lean into that or you will not have anywhere near the matchday support you currently enjoy. Your hardest core of supporters are telling you loud and clear what their values are, listen to them.

After an emotional winter in Minnesota, it felt lovely being back at Allianz Field for the Loons home opener. We have club seats this year! I posed with the I-35 Cup in the Wonderwall and spotted a new “Once a Loon, Always a Loon” display in the concourse. Plus, our rebel loon tifo was a hit! #mnufc

A brisk day (feels like temp of 9 degrees) for the Minnesota United home opener but we were warmed to see the Andor-inspired tifo and the ICE out banner and warmed even more by the “F**k ICE” chant that started during the moment for Renee Good and Alex Pretti before kickoff. Minnesota: United.

Awesome to read that supporters groups from other clubs have been sending in their jerseys to be altered! My friend Derek and I got a lot of props/questions on ours at the home opener today #MNUFC

On top of the kickass tifo (that I was proud to help hoist today) and the ICE OUT NOW banners on the Apple broadcast, it was cool to see state flag signed by Austin FC fans in the Wonderwall today. We have friends everywhere 💚💙 #mnufc #austinfc

Love to see it! #mnufc #oalaal

Today's game ball was delivered by Finley's Pet Treats ambassador Ian Witt! Thank you Ian for helping us get ready for today's game.

The program unfolds into a Boxy poster...my kid squealed.

It's about 20 degrees in St Paul, James Rodríguez looks a bit cold. He'll get used to it. #MNUFC

he's riding the bull, he's feeling the flow #MNUFC

Minnesota United fans embrace rebel loon logo to help community hurt by ICE The Rebel Loon Project wants to raise $10,000 to help immigrants in Minnesota.

The @MNUFC fan base is strong with the force. Young soccer hooligan Jedis even adopted the Star Wars rebel insignia, altered to resemble a loon, as their own version of “ICE Out!” Story by @andygreder www.twincities.com/2026/02/27/m...

Selfie of me at an MNUFC match, wearing a blue knit hat, sunglasses, and a light blue Minnesota United scarf, with the soccer field and packed stadium behind me.

Cuz maybe, you’re gonna be the one that saves me.

Congrats Loons supporters! You just made it through the coldest home opener in team history (yes, I know it’s only 10 seasons).

The first MLS game ever for MNUFC held the previous record, and also had plenty of snow.

it's beautiful! tifo in @mnwonderwall.bsky.social

Praying for peace.

Gov. Walz unveils new anti-fraud legislation package Gov. Tim Walz on Thursday unveiled a suite of anti-fraud proposals he would like to see the Legislature pass this session.

Today I rolled out a comprehensive anti-fraud package that strengthens oversight, improves detection, expands enforcement, and increases penalties to protect taxpayer dollars.

We’ve seen plenty of grandstanding on this issue. It’s time for action.

March 1, 2026 is near. My phone won’t stop ringing because neighbors need help with rent. There’s going to be mass displacement of our neighbors without a change in policy & support from government.

Please reach out to your Minneapolis City Council member and ask them to support this ordinance. 2/

It’s time to pass Pause Evictions, Save Lives in Minneapolis. Currently, renters receive a 30-day notice prior to a landlord filing an eviction.

This ordinance would temporarily expand this timeline to 60 days through August 30, 2026.

The first vote is at Committee of the Whole on Tuesday. 1/

Glad the Rizzler is getting minutes but my kid was looking forward to seeing them in person
