Exactly, it doesn’t like, build upward? The Grammys should be more like the Westminster dog show.

I’m not sure about a lot but I do know that I will go to the grave without really understanding the difference between recording the year and song of the year (and I am not asking for an explanation)

Families displaced by flooding in Cedar-Riverside need immediate support for housing, repairs, and basic needs.

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday.

Good news: surprise Springsteen show at your favorite local music venue. Bad news: shit's so fucked where you live that Bruce Springsteen wrote a song about it

Feb. 3 is caucus night.

I’m very disappointed that the party did not stand up a true remote option during such a dangerous time for so many. I hope they do more for conventions.

That said, tomorrow is the deadline to submit a non-attendee form to your SD Chair. Find it here: dfl.org/caucus/

Habla la madre de Liam Conejo Ramos: "Yo presenciΓ© la escena desde la ventana, tenΓ­a miedo de que tambiΓ©n me detuvieran" "Mi hijo Liam me decΓ­a: 'Mami, Γ‘breme la puerta', estaba aterrorizada. Mi esposo me gritaba 'no abras la puerta' y no lo hice por miedo a que mΓ­ tambiΓ©n me arrestaran y dejara solo a mi otro hijo. Al ...

The administration story is that Liam Ramos mother refused to take her son.

In actuality she was inside with another child. If she opened the door they would all be detained. She literally had to make Sofie’s choice.

I can’t.

Sen. Alice Mann calls out β€œboth sides-ism” during the ICE occupation.

β€œWe have seen the videos so do not sit there and tell me what I know to be true is not true.”

We live in a metropolitan area of the United States. People who are going about their lives like other Americans are being taken away for no reason and trauma is being inflicted at schools, hospitals, neighborhoods. It’s appalling that complaints are made about their dining options being affected.

When the DFL won a trifecta in 2023 that’s exactly what Melissa Hortman and Kari Dziedzic said. Thank god for them and all we got done that year, they knew we had to seize the opportunity to the fullest extent.

ICE is still here and families are still being separated. We will continue to need observers, patrollers, and neighbors to help our immigrant community. If we stop now, they will win. We will not stop until families are no longer separated

I want to thank you all for continuing to patrol, observe, and support our immigrant neighbors. If it wasn’t for your dedication, we would be in a different situation today.

If you are vulnerable to deportation, please continue to be careful and work with those you trust on a plan. 3/

We do not know what this means for the rest of their inhumane plan meant to separate families.

That being said, any number of agents leaving Minnesota is thanks to our neighbors who are out on the streets daily. 2/

Dear neighbor, It is not the time to let your guard down, nor is it the time to stop organizing.

While Bovino will be leaving Minneapolis along with some U.S. Border Patrol agents, there is still no specific plan that has been communicated to the public. 1/

I had a guy ask if we had any ICE related clips because β€œthat kind of content” was β€œreally buzzing right now”. Really grossed me out.

A lot of out of state media are parachuting in and making outrageous demands or requests of organizations doing mutual aid. Asking to connect with or directly observe people working with the vulnerable. Have some fucking respect for the work and realize the stakes are life and death.

I'll repeat my ask to Democratic Senators here: don't vote for the DHS funding bill, yes. AND ALSO do not vote for another single thing in the United States Senate until the invasion and occupation of Minnesota ends. Don't vote to name a post office, dedicate a road, or even a procedural motion

Come together for what? Progress towards what? I’m genuinely asking. The federal government is murdering Minnesotans and disappearing our neighbors. So if any of these CEO’s want to explain to me personally what I β€” as a state leader β€” should ask the federal government for, I’m available.

ICE and Trump: *Doing extremist and violent things.*
Us: Hey, they are doing extremist and violent things!
People missing the point: Both sides need to turn down the temperature!
