Welcome to Minnesota Norm, so grateful to have you here!

Charles Yang of Time for Three absolutely slaying me. I would lose my mind if I heard this live. Even crappy phone speakers made me scream and cry.

Now: With double digit windchill, thousands marching in Downtown Minneapolis during a general strike. Marching and protest against the actions of ICE. Prince dance party outside First Avenue and the Prince mural - where there’s been many Prince dance parties before.

Minneapolis January 23, 2026

You'd think from this post that US Senators have no power to change this

Mn voter here, Amy, requesting you vote to CUT ICE FUNDING...brutal ICE tactics won't be altered with de-escalation training and body cams legislation, only by no $$$$.

Your moment to actualize your 8 yr old dreams for yourself, I am ready to watch woot!!

We have reliable direct evidence connecting Donald Trump to Epstein’s underage sex trafficking ring. Trump’s DOJ cover-up of Epstein’s crimes must not continue.

DOJ must release every piece of the Epstein files. No more secrets. The American people, the survivors, and the victims deserve the truth.

Dear @bencollins.bsky.social I have one ticket to the sold out 7:00 pm showing of Bad Pedophile in Minneapolis at the @trylon.org that I cannot use. If you RT this I will give it to someone who reaches out.

Today is Mexican Independence Day. This crew of farm workers celebrated it by wearing the colors of the Mexican flag as they harvested peas today on CAs Central Coast. #WeFeedYou

I know these “interviews” with Justice Barrett are carefully scripted. But if she’s going to keeping urging Americans to “read the opinions,” and not just commentary, it sure would be nice if someone would ask her what we should do when—as is so often the case these days—there’s no opinion to read…

It's Nature's Way by Spirit was a favorite song of myself and my musical friends in the 70's. Do you have any incites?

My face during yet another breathtaking Canadian view, this one of the Cline River just outside Banff National Park.

Things I love about Canada:

Breathtaking natural lands and how, wherever you are, they're just out the door.

Ketchup chips & maple syrup, tourtière & poutine!

Feisty female leaders never afraid to speak their minds.

Most of all, our core beliefs of kindness, civility and compassion ❤️

Our sweet boy Weaver with hubby and US Ranger recently becoming a "Bark Ranger" near Weaver Bottoms, great hunting and fishing Upper Mississippi area we often fish and hunt. I am a dog lover and didn't intend to attack 2nd just felt Klobuchar's message.

Dear Honey, say what? You have inspired me on this gloomy MN day to get my ass to church and pray that you are guided to delete this heartless reply.

Just no, Ron F. I rely on you for the real crazy shit.

Neither of my MN senators, whew...doesn't take a "genius"

This guy consistently posts songs with incredible lyrics mere hours after events unfurl. This was a good one.

Even the Franciscan nuns in my city are passed and show up

We ARE fighting back and showing up, sir. 535 in congress need to have our 6 also.

Did you fact check before posting? Important...if true

One of my favorite songs in 1970 was Nature's Way by Spirit. The Arts can really help message today.

Hey yeah...and also, what happened with the Ft Knox gold?

Tbh, as an older female I have never suffered a "sucker punch..." until now.

Rochester MN, even the nuns supporting immigrants are pissed

Hey Amy, MN here...we elected you, trusted you to not just say the same things we say to our neighbors. ACT!!!

Omg orange Novas bring back great memories of h.s.

Did he say "He doesn't have the cards??"

Heart breaks

I admire you, Amy, and I also vote for you but yikes Almighty read the room!
