Selfie in a purple shirt with two crows and text "attempted murder."

Haha just realized this is the shirt I slept in.

Last summer when I was way up north a few crows alerted danger, and then a GRAY WOLF pranced down the road.
I listen to everything they say now.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.

Worth a watch.

The cardinals' singing is settling my nervous system.
Listen to the birds.
Especially crows they're telling you to look for something.

In our family it's "The Margaret Street Snowman," and everyone in the vehicle is required to wave at him because Grandma-ma Marge said so.

Twin Cities suburbs are tallying Operation Metro Surge costs and asking for help Local leaders say federal immigration enforcement brought unexpected costs and strain to cities and counties amid already tight budgets.

How many miles from the core of Minneapolis and/or St. Paul does your town need to be to garner sympathy from Greater Minnesotans

I'm still pissed about my endocrinologist asked me twice last week if I'm on a GLP1 because of my weight loss.
Nope. Just cellcept side effects make me hate food. Like I said already. It's a symptom not a win.

Love it when you bring optimism to the morning timeline. 🫶

WORST

I worked for an Israeli AI company and then I quit the tech industry for good.
Do not use AI.
Those men are bad.

Uh-oh! Worst person you know learned therapy words

Described the plot of "It Can't Happen Here" to my 13yo, and I don't think she believed me.

Close to 650 federal agents remain in Minnesota weeks after border czar announced end of operation There are still more than quadruple the 150 agents Tom Homan said there would be in the state by the end of last week.

They’re still lying to us.

This is such a dogshit thing to say but notice how much of a coward he is to immediately go oh gosh oh golly when the reporter asks what he means by that. Can’t even have the courage of his dirtbag convictions, an insult to all men who wear shorts and hoodies in the winter. We reject him.

Told my brother he should show up as Mike Pence (running mate edition, not of the "hang him" variety).

My college-age niece is promoting a party themed "2016."
Take me out.

Some Minneapolis council members critical of MPD reaction or inaction to ICE agents Police chief Brian O’Hara said he’s mostly pleased with how the department performed during the months-long ICE enforcement surge. However, some council members pushed back on that assessment.

Minneapolis Council Member Aisha Chughtai to Chief Brian O'Hara: “You show up to the scene and you see federal agents pointing their weapons at people, and you don’t feel a duty to protect the residents of this community and instead choose to leave the scene?” (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

yep. 😮‍💨

Tomorrow's a new one.

There are so many things to keep track of, thank you! 😮‍💨

I loved looking through my grandpa's scrap tiles in the garage and in his little black work truck. He tiled the Lowry Hill Tunnel.

This is psychotic behavior by Sheehy. My goodness

my first book (2020) was about online neonazis and my second book (2024) was about christian theocrats. they gained strength, voltronned and became a government. my third book (2027) is going to be a history of notable sandwiches so i hope this means we will be governed by sandwichocracy

UPDATE: Noem's husband had left the room before this question was asked. And.... that's not a "no."

I'm so grateful for that Rolling Stone piece about Shakopee. Also makes me barfy. Trauma.

Today in @rollingstone.com: a remarkable profile on the inhumane tactics of ICE in Minnesota’s suburbs — and the incredible ways Minnesotans in Shakopee (including DFL Rep. Brad Tabke) have stood up to protect our communities.
