if everyone could take on the “what if we just did the thing instead of waiting for it to happen” energy that much of minneapolis has right now, the world could be pretty good

Creative community is such magic.

So much hurts. So much is heavy. If you’re in need of some creative community, just a gentle reminder I’m kicking off two DIVE [writing group] cohorts next week, and there’s still time for you to join us.

Writing always helps.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Such a great list.

On this day, here are some lesser shared MLK Jr quotes to consider, a thread 🧵:

“The Western arrogance of feeling that it has everything to teach others and nothing to learn”- Dr Martin Luther King Jr (1/3)

It's a problem that actual elected officials post on social media as if they are powerless observers and commentators.

100%

This is it exactly.

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review

Yard signs on display

Given the timing, we consider this to be targeted harassment as punishment for exercising our First Amendment rights.

We're still handing out free whistles. And we just got in hundreds of new yard signs.

Keep resisting, Minnesota. We love you.

Such a happy growth of plants you have there. 😍

A black dog looks lovingly at the photographer with an expression that says “really, a photo? You could be using those hands to pet me”

A black dog runs ahead on a nordic ski trail, wearing a jacket and a green light. The moon twinkles in the distance; it is just before sunrise.

A black dog sniffs animal tracks in the snow. The light is uneven as the freezing fog hasn’t fully burned off yet.

Other things that are helping include time outside or snuggling with the cutest of all puppernugs.

That show is hilariously unhinged, and 100% addictive.

If you aren’t already, a gentle reminder to check in on your Minneapolis friends and family.

Call. Text. Send voice memos.

Buy gift cards from local, immigrant-owned businesses and gift them to anyone you know in the area.

Bolster, bolster, bolster from wherever you are.

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?”

1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore.

2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.

3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

We need to bring back “we live in a society” but not fucking ironic joker shit because fuck man I have encountered so many people who do not understand how to be part of a fucking society

I know there are so many more important things happening in the world (always), and still: Is email etiquette dead?

I think it's nice to say "Good morning," "Happy new year!" or even "Hey," when sending a needlessly curt email on a Tuesday morning, especially if I haven't talked to you in weeks.

You, too! I hope it’s as gentle a first day back as it can be!

Right back at you!

Relatable.

all this is both foolish and unnecessary

I accidentally peeked last night. 237 new emails. 🫠 That’s a problem for about an hour from now.

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.

Yes, this is exactly the time to demand Democrats "do something."

They can denounce Trump's actions as unconstitutional. They can state that he must be impeached and removed. They can make clear that all involved will be held accountable.

These are the core duties of a role they all signed up for.

Articles. Of. Impeachment.

Y'all. What are you waiting for?

I legimitately cheer every time I see a winter cyclist. It's not easy to do here [we live at 5,000' and the way our roads and bike paths are taken care of once the snow and freezing rain starts falling is...haphazard and quite salty at best], but I'm looking forward to getting better at it!

Are we watching a Psych marathon while charcuterie-ing to get psyched for 2026? Yes, yes we are.

Very cool!
