Send your bus driver a valentine or thank them in person.

I would love to see some comprehensive reporting on what, exactly, the governor, mayor, police departments and sheriffs DID concede to ICE. Because these negotiations still seem extremely vague and unclear.

Flag with a large light-blue section at the end, and an 8-pointed white star in a dark-blue section that's attached to the flagpole. The flagpole is leaning to the left off an ornate building, just to the left of a tall lantern. The bottom left of the photo shows the Minnesota Building name in capital letters in a recessed area for the main doors, which aren't shown in this photo.

The Minnesota Building's Minnesota flag.

“…except me. I just kept blinking and blinking and blinking and voting for whatever the Trump administration wanted.”

Well, that's quite the metaphor for the state of America, huh?

As Bondi ignores them*

It’s 1853 & people are in hiding from slave catchers. It’s 2026 & people are in hiding from slave catchers.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Some of you are watching Olympic Curling and realize that this activity is within a mile of two clubs connected to USA Curling - St. Paul Curling Club and Frogtown Curling Club.

Things haven't slowed down, and the danger is escalating.

@amyklobuchar.com nor @klobuchar.senate.gov have posted anything about the BWCA bill. Not a surprise but for a senator running for Minnesota governor it's baffling how she doesn't take a position on so many issues that directly impact the state

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state.

Tell them it will find your dog.

Measles, Covid and tuberculosis at South Texas camps, yet ICE is flying more migrant captives there at this very moment.

Angie Craig crossed the @sbworkersunited.org picket line to get that coffee and then brought it to the DFL elected officials meeting. Folks, that L stands for LABOR. The fact that she clearly doesn’t care is one of many reasons why @peggyflanagan.bsky.social is the clear choice.

The failure of higher ed (and public universities in particular) to lead in this moment and during the COVID onset maybe shouldn't have surprised me but it did.
What we teach our students is ultimately being proven empty words at the institutional level. From public health to equity and justice.

Pro tip for Amy Klobuchar.

And she’s most likely going to be our governor. Great.

Genuine question: how are people doing stuff like working and replying to emails and (for everyone also laid off) applying to jobs right now? One thing at a time? Just do five minutes? Throwing your phone into a box in another room? Only checking the news once a day?

Suddenly realizing that in 10-20 years, the MN Historical Society will have an exhibit about *all this* and there will be a whole wall showing different types of whistles

A large, ornate marble building with a dome. On the steps in the foreground is an ice sculpture of letters spelling PROSECUTE ICE.

The Minnesota State Capitol today.

Pursued by federal agents, suburban ICE observers remain resolved After a frightening pursuit by federal agents, suburban ICE observers say fear hasn’t stopped them from protecting their communities.

Suburban observers say ICE has only been more aggressive since Homan: “I think they’re getting angry that we’re winning and the country is rallying around us. We’re so organized and we act with such integrity. They don’t want to admit they feel threatened by us.”

If my caucus was any sort of indication, national Dems really need to wake the fuck up about what voters want them to do about ICE.

At least she didn't call us "deplorables." That would been newsworthy.

“All over my neighborhood we keep finding empty cars, the glass shattered into diamonds on the snow, the people missing. Tiny private automotive kristallnachts, everywhere and ongoing.”

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

That's quite the user experience. I haven't used Micro yet myself. Are you able to contact the driver once the trip is "active"?

Professional athletes are being advised not to leave the hotel or go anywhere without their passports while visiting Minnesota.

This is not a country that can safely host international events like the World Cup.

Boycotting is not even a political question anymore. It is a basic issue of safety.

You’re describing an emergency. The world is also watching you and waiting for you to do something.

Are you going to establish an eviction moratorium? Rent is due today.
