Skijor Loppet Presented by Animal Emergency & Referral Center of Minnesota - Loppet 10K, 5K, and 3K options for people and dogs of all abilities

That's called "Skijoring." Every year, the Loppet Foundation runs a skijor race, and it's as incredible as you imagine.

On my way to work this morning, I saw a Green Line test car absolutely flying between the Shady Oak station and Hopkins. I'm excited. For the first time, I'm optimistic that a hybrid light rail/bike commute will be faster than just the bike.

That is the writing of someone who's genuinely confused about "they/them" being singular pronouns.

This morning, I wasn't really upset about anything because the DOW was over 50,000. But as of this moment its 49,450 and I'm fucking livid. Abolish ICE.

Riding a bike with an ice auger for ice thickness measurements as a community service. I believe that's peak Minneapolis.

I can't DM you for some reason, but if you want more detailed info of what I learned reach out

I just asked this question in a signal group, and I was pointed towards Neighbors Helping Neighbors. There also were other school groups that dont have large vulnerable communities that are looking to expand who they help.

Donate to Support Byron Cabrera's Legal Defense and Son's Care, organized by Luz Riofrio Hello everyone, I'm asking for your support for Byron Cabrera, who h… Luz Riofrio needs your support for Support Byron Cabrera's Legal Defense and Son's Care

A parent at my kids’ school was abducted a few hours ago.

Please help us help the family with legal expenses and care for their elementary school son (who doesn’t even know his dad was taken yet 💔):

I believe that the impeccable timing of the Minnesota state flag redesign is proof that time travel exists.

“Uptick In Abductions”: ICE Ramps Up Targeting of Minneapolis Legal Observers In one 30-minute stretch, three Minneapolis legal observers were arrested as ICE ramped up its targeting of community volunteers.

In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”

I had no idea dildos could expire.

Flyer: Support Families at a South Minneapolis Public School We are a Title 1 neighborhood community school in South Minneapolis that is fundraising to provide financial support to our vulnerable families during the unprecedented federal occupation of our city. Funds will be disbursed to families requesting help with rent, bills, food, transportation, and other necessities. Donate: gofund.me/9d2c453cf

My neighborhood school collectively fundraised over $100,000 to support our neighbors with rent and bills this last month.

Now we need to do it all over again for March.

PLEASE HELP!

Every family we're working to keep housed & fed has elementary aged children.

You may not like it, but this is what peak truck performance looks like.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

I was at 13-11, which shared a cafeteria with 13-10. It was my first caucus, but I was surprised at how much progressive support there was in the room of about 200 people.

Peter and the Wolf was canceled, but we still played hooky. Started at Our Kitchen for chocolate chip pancakes. Took the E line to the Walker and spent the morning at Show and Tell: Exhibit for Kids. Ended the day at Bryant Lake and the nicest host gave us a few free frames and stickers.

Just me casually doing today's NYT crossword in 6 min and 37 seconds. Move along. Nothing to see. 😎

Well, I'm going to caucus for the first time tomorrow. From what I've seen in past coverage of city caucuses is that people lose all humanity at these things. So I'll be a little disappointed if this doesn’t turn into a Stanford Prison Experiment situation.

This is the future globalists want.

I'm going to use this post to highlight that the county is currently working on public engagement for reconstructing this corridor!

Make sure to tell them what you think.

I've found myself trying to help a group of 4 families trying to pay rent for February. They need $5500. I can cover most of it, but I'm starting to get tapped out. If anyone can help contribute anything, I'd appreciate it.

Venmo: @eikleinbaum

Can we, as Minnesotans, please push to get venmo transfers considered tax deductible this year?

Can you DM me? I can't seem to send one to you.

I have yet to experience donor fatigue. Feels more like donor mania.

Well, the saddest thing about this is the world is going to miss out on an adorable 4 yr old wearing a button down and necktie to the orchestra.

Oh. Thats great! There actually was an old Disney short that Ive shown him a few times. We usually listen to the David Bowie narration on Spotify. I think he was excited to see the instruments in person, though.

Got an email saying the MN Orchestra is postponing next week's performance of Peter and the Wolf to October because of ICE. My 4 yr old is going to be devastated. We've been talking about it for months.

And Pete Seeger. The live concerts with the crowd singing make me tear up.

I would like to take a rest from my hyperlocal news sources breaking national news, please.
