Understandable but still

Thanking your driver is a thing that happened all the time in MSP before the pandemic. I still do it because I’m old, but I hope it comes back

Ugh. Time to review my security preferences

One thing I think is lost on folks who are not in the fight is how people like Ian raise thousands of dollars, covering rent for dozens of families, and STILL feel like it isn’t enough. I see it in everyone who is lending any amount of help. We are tortured by the thought that we can’t do it all.

Cold Spring has 4300 people

Awww…they miss you!

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

I know a lot of people are too young to remember our last clusterfuck in the Middle East, but let me tell you: a Democrat saying something even close to this about The Troops would have been flayed alive on the Senate floor.

I got in an argument with a friend’s cousin on FB. When I offered to show her Mpls so she could see what we see, she told me I would probably stab her to death. I screenshot our convo with the intent of posting to her church’s FB page. I donated to Planned Parenthood on her behalf. Sent a postcard.

i 100% understand that absolutely no one normal wants to go to a city council meeting at 9am on a tuesday in the middle of the shit we are living through. we would ALL rather being doing something else. but if you are able to, you have a chance to make a real difference.

$605.72/$700 thank you so much.

so many people message me and ask “what is the need now? and “are all the needs met?”

the needs are endless. we are trying to patch 1000 holes. fuck ice. fuck trump.

A US Attorney should be acutely aware of 1. Lies fly faster & further than the truth, and 2. The necessity of an objective reality. I can’t take Thompson seriously as an attorney based on the act of uttering an unsubstantiated number so authoritatively with the stakes what they are.

"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made." -Minnesota native F. Scott Fitzgerald

So much ICE out there today in South Minneapolis. They’re prowling around harassing schools.

Stay frosty, friends

I get that media consolidation is bad, but that ship did sail in the US *several* decades ago, and I'm not sure I understand this thing where I'm supposed to be alarmed that CNN, the network that pioneered being immensely shitty and non-substantive about the news, is being taken over by ideologues.

The Blond Sox era…

He was a trash talking asshole, so I think that’s rational. But when he was a Twin, he was OUR trash talking asshole. 😂

Yes. We need more supportive housing, too. I realized that the bulk of the odor came from the houseless individual sleeping in the seats behind me.

One of my least favorite things is riding a urine-smelling bus for an hour.

Our Somali neighbors make Minnesota better.

I mean, it will be with certain Minnesotans. Rest assured that Guerin won’t care until his family is deported and probably not even then

970 The number of agents deployed in Operation Metro Surge that currently remain in Minnesota. 407 The number of agents deployed in Operation Metro Surge and will remain in Minnesota into March.

This shows why you can’t trust headlines or press conferences from the Trump administration. We still need people out keeping watch and staying vigilant until every last agent is off of our streets.

If you had told me during any run of “Flavor of Love” that Flav would be out here sponsoring women’s Olympic teams and hyping them in the year 2026, I would have thought you were punking me.

Right. And the lack of fitting consequences has paved the road we are on right now.

That idea goes back to Nixon. He should have faced consequences for Watergate and they chose not to.

Governor and mayor have completely abandoned us to do this on our own. They are nowhere to be found in the most thorough way I can imagine and any value they try to claim for what the rest of us have done is stolen. Mutual aid is so beautiful and it exposes so many failures and abandonments. 4/?

Some people…

But. Like. You’re not putting in money to enter? How is it gambling?
