A research collaborator in Finland emailed today to say that her choir in a small town Finland has been singing Minnesota resistance songs. 🥹🫶🇫🇮🎶
"Gophers: Heads In the Ground"
Logged in to read this email first thing this morning and I'm so mad I almost flipped my desk. THERE IS NO NEUTRALITY! Let's just make the new UMN slogan "Gophers: We Stand for Nothing".
I just remember you taking me to Brooklyn for the first time and me being like “OMG IT’S SESAME STREET!”
I was in the balcony. I don’t think I’m ready for the splash zone. It was a last minute stroke of good luck for me that some friends wound up with an extra ticket!
I scored a last minute ticket and I'm so glad I was there.

One of the more depressing aspects of the GLP-1 stuff right now is how utterly inescapable it is. Whatever you're doing, wherever you are, there are people shrinking at alarming rates, and endless discussion of said shrinking. There's seemingly no place to just *rest.*
She's also a University of Minnesota alum!
Does any1 have a pile of effective & feasible evidence synthesis course assignments? Many librarians have exposure to suboptimal assignments (e.g., students expected to solo complete a systematic review in a few months while cutting many corners; by definition this is not a systematic review) 1/?
Grab some from a Magrath office before they get demolished!
This is a question I also have as I had been purchasing mine at Target.
Personally vouching for this South MPLS request.
Husband/father taken by ICE at his normal immigration appointment, he’s been the sole earner for the family here and his parents in Ecuador.
This sweet family has a little baby and a teenager. They went through so much to be here. Please give if you can.

Thanks to a surge of support from a handful of local librarians (you know who you are!), we’re down to needing just $2000! Here’s a new graphic if you’d like to share on other platforms.
God, Brandi Carlile just makes me want to be gayer … somehow?
I've got you!
Yes! I got boxes from them several times during early pandemic times. Always a treat to not have to cook and it’s so much food!
I've been friends with my best friend so long, our grandmas were high school best friends!
Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.
Just remember that DHS is building concentration camps, and, if you built it, they will get filled.
Good morning. Abolish ICE.
I’m going to highlight some fundraisers with low numbers in the thread.
If being the parent of a middle schooler has taught me anything, it’s to embrace my cringe.
Counterpoint: More unabashed enthusiasm in academic papers! We know these nerds (complimentary) are so excited about their niche topics -- I love when it seeps through the dry academic writing!

My sister lives in Baldwin and ICE has been on the ground taking people for weeks, including dairy workers. As someone who grew up in rural northwestern Wisconsin, abducting and disappearing folks in less population-dense areas is TERRIFYING.
Justice Page is our neighborhood middle school and I've talked to kids that attend. They miss their classmates, they have frequent "code yellow" lock downs. Please help if you can.
This is why expanded IMLS funding isn't really a good thing under the current regime--funding is the tool through which they will seek to push and control a narrative that will unmake and disassemble our libraries under the fascist image of trump's big government plan that we likely will never undo.
$1420/$3000! I bet we can crack two bills by tonight, at this rate?
