Donate to Rent Relief for Families in Mobile Home Park, organized by Amy U Hello, My name is Amy and I am organizing a fundraiser that will go directl… Amy U needs your support for Rent Relief for Families in Mobile Home Park

Mobile home parks are constantly targeted by ICE because they’re often more isolated from more visible residential neighborhoods. There’s 21 families that need help paying March rent and @amyudiaz.bsky.social is in direct contact with the landlord to make it happen. Help donate!

She’s raised almost $20m to help Minnesota – she thinks you can do it too Ashley Fairbanks launched Stand with Minnesota as ICE raids rocked her home town – now donations are pouring in, and families’ rent is being paid

I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this.

I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it.

I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.

A meme of Alysa Liu based on Da Share Zone reading: JUST WALK OUT work social thing movies home class dentist figure skating too fancy weed store cops it your quick friend ships IF IT SUCKS... HIT DA BRICKS!!! Real winners quit You can leave!! Da Gold Zone

I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…

I am not at all excited by this political anointing or the pick, myself.

Several years ago, I knocked doors for a state rep named Ami. Quite a few people said, “Oh, Amy, we love Amy—when we needed [some sort of constituent service that made it clear they meant Amy Klobuchar], she took care of it.” I think she will be able to ride that kind of goodwill almost indefinitely

Maybe a question for your city council rep—is it one of the good ones?

I’m with your daughter—what the fuck?

MN Legislature just started session on Tuesday—session calendars are determined constitutionally. The DFL had a slew of bills ready for the start of session, but with the House tied and the GOP unwilling to do pretty much anything, most won’t make much progress.

i may regret the glitter

I’ve been with them for 25 years and haven’t had major problems, unlike other health orgs, but my suspicion is it’s all a crapshoot, because the whole industry is a mess

Oh, good, I need somewhere to store my two medium-sized jars containing different ingredients but nevertheless identically labeled “Paprika”

Please - if you live outside of Minnesota, even in a "blue state," make sure your senators know that they should vote NO on H.J. Res. 140 to protect the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. It allows a Chilean mega-corp to mine and ship to China for processing - damaging wilderness in the process.

🙁

Melissa Hortman saw something in people and gave them an opportunity - that's just how she led.

Today, I'm thinking about her famous “I'm not sorry” speech, where she encouraged so many of us to take up space and be heard. I miss you, friend.

Jesse Jackson reading "Green Eggs and Ham" is so wonderful. RIP

I’ve been fairly covid-cautious but have moved to annual boosters like with the flu. That said, I have an upper respiratory something right now (I keep testing negative for covid) and I do not want to get sick with anything ever again. I am so tired of blowing my nose

Thinking about everyone in Minnesota I know who has dug into the couch cushions to make sure their neighbors can stay fed, housed, and get the legal support they need, and then there’s these bastards

Yikes. I’ll be masking up at the grocery store

Haven Watch is the group that meets people who are being released from Whipple (usually because they were illegally detained), often without coats or phones or any way to get home.

Man sometimes food is such a bitch

One of my favorite life hacks is to essentially use the bread machine timer function as an alarm clock, so you wake up as the machine finishes baking the loaf. Waking up to freshly baked bread does not suck at all!

Exclusive: ICE Masks Up in More Ways Than One Feds could be in your group chat

🚨 ICE is authorized to covertly infiltrate and interact with social media accounts under a new program called "masked engagement," per documents leaked to me:

Doug Chapin seems like a great candidate to do it, too

But it’s part of the same political environment because the goon squad is adding people to the “domestic terrorist” database Homan insists doesn’t exist via facial recognition, amongst other means

Oh, well shit—they aren’t making Vasque boots anymore. This is an eternal problem—by the time you realize you’ve found a great, quality product, it no longer exists when it’s time to replace it. If you find any on closeout or secondhand, though…

My Vasque PowPow boots have been freaking amazing. I wear them daily during winter and have owned them for 15+ years. Warm, dry, and they have these little ridges on the back where they know you step on them to take them off. Best. Boots.

I’m sorry. This sucks so much.

phew good thing the war on protein is over otherwise how could they have brought this product to market
