Yikes. The Latino-owned businesses in Mercado Central in Minneapolis report a 90% dip in business since the major influx of federal agents into Minnesota. This is where I’d go to get my Mexican groceries and my pozole fix when I lived in the Twin Cities

don't think I've ever been so in the thick of something that's Big News like this, but it makes a sharp contrast between skilled journalists, who want to understand the situation and turn in sharp, considered dispatches, and streamers, disaster tourists who are desperate to see a civil war break out

I grew up with Alex Pretti The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

you should not share a post that's a screenshot without a link to a news item. you should not share a post that's a video or picture without some kind of sourcing. we're in a new bad era and these are now basic practices.

... also photogs and journos gotta eat so share their work.

I subscribed to @startribune.com the moment I left the newsroom for the last time en route to Oregon. At first, it was a way to keep up with my stellar soon-to-be former colleagues. Now it feels like the most essential subscription I have: www.startribune.com/subscribe

I've been informed that the man in this video is Matthew James Obadiah Allen, better known as Twin Cities hip hop artist Nur-D

Live: Man shot and killed by federal agents in south Minneapolis this morning, police chief says A video appears to shows federal agents wrestling a man to the ground then shooting him.

"The man shot by federal agents this morning has died, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told the Minnesota Star Tribune."

To be clear: I love my home state! (Just ask any Minnesotan who had to suffer my musings about its culinary superiority during my three years in the Midwest.) But man, Minnesotans sure do hold a specific and enduring appreciation for Minnesota.

I’d love to be proven wrong, but here I run into people who really love being Portlanders, or who were born and raised in Grants Pass and can’t imagine living anywhere else, or moved to Bend and settled down. But few folks who really lean into being Oregonians the way Minnesotans do.

This might be *the* thing I miss most about living in the Twin Cities. No matter what part of the urban core you visit, you’ll find several people who speak fondly of the state as a whole, and of specific places in particular. You don’t really get that here in Oregon.

Live: Thousands march, scores of Minnesota businesses close in protest of ICE enforcement Restaurants, museums, schools and nonprofits closed their doors as part of an “ICE Out” demonstration. Despite the frigid weather, a large crowd of protesters gathered in downtown Minneapolis.

I am utterly in awe of my former colleagues at @startribune.com. It's been just over two weeks since an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good and the newsroom has been a paragon of community service as the federal immigration surge continues in the Twin Cities www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

Haven’t been to Powell’s in a minute and I forgot just how many people wear clogs to the bookstore

My listening age is my own damn business, you nosy ragamuffins!

This is the pizza Christmas lore. My family made turkey every year for christmas until my mom realized we all snacked all day and weren’t hungry and we’d be eating leftover turkey for a week. We tried various other things: ham, Cornish game hens. And then one year everyone was disgustingly sick and

So we’re just running around calling robes cardigans now? Words mean things!

Just this week I talked with the Voices of Roosevelt staff advisor about how much I liked a story they did where they laid out what PPS will do in the case that ICE is near a school.

And here we are...

Dude, basketball rules.

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

My commute nightmares in the Twin Cities rarely had anything to do with construction and more to do with buttheads who would either park or drive in the bike lane!

What languages are most spoken in Minnesota homes? Almost 640,000 people in Minnesota speak a language other than English at home. The state demographer says Minnesota’s unique immigrant populations have fostered more linguistic diversity than in many...
