Record Numbers of Workers Are Raiding Their 401(k) Savings A divergent economy has given people record retirement savings and more need to dig into them.

Hardship withdrawals from 401(k)s increased for the sixth straight year. Top reasons included avoiding foreclosure and eviction as well as paying medical expenses. (Gift link)

I saw a bumper sticker for Prager U this morning, which was very weird to see in the wild.

There’s a budget line I have that’s historically a bit of a slush called “household goods.” It was always going over. Then we stopped shopping at Target. It is consistently way under budget now.

The longer they do this, the more I get used to not spending money.

Ah all the adhd influencers are sliding into Claude promotional content. Fix your disordered brain by turning your entire data archive over to a platform.

Community Art Show Fundraiser A one-day community art fundraiser supporting our communities impacted by the recent ICE occupation

My friend is organizing an art show fundraiser at Indigenous Roots later this month to benefit StPCAN. I believe they’re still taking submissions—so if you are/know artists let them know!

MPD has not submitted a single case involving federal agents for charging. Tomorrow MPD will be before the council, I want to hear from them why. Neighbors have seen way more than their fair share of criminal behavior by ICE

This thread makes my brain hurt. But wildest to me is this—I have been concerned for a while that the loosening of restrictions for online gambling is making finances very unstable for young men as they seem relentlessly targeted by the companies.

But Messina is saying we should be for this? Yikes

Mpls Ward 11 get on your council member about this.

Hard.

Wards 7 & 5 keep after yours as well.

Pick it up & don’t let them have peace about this.

Final vote is this Thursday, March 5, 2026.

Literally sitting in the City Council hearing about eviction prevention paying rents while I’m waiting to speak. If you want to help keep 11 immigrant families in public housing from being imminently evicted, I’m trying to raise $2500 for them 💛

Currently on a new book and it’s very difficult. I’d added the 2020 Culture Warlords (Lavin) to my list when adding the newer Wild Faith.

Listening to something from 2020 about the worst parts of online white supremacy/incel culture that we now see daily in power is deeply upsetting.

I don’t know if I just associate it with 2020 and notice it more now, but I just don’t remember it being like this before (including when I lived in Phillips!)

Flight path of MN state patrol helicopter. Largely in circles over Phillips, with a loop over powderhorn, Kingfield, and Lyndale.

Looks like we were not the focus (though I still hear it), so I guess anyone know why it’s been circling Phillips?

Anyone know why a helicopter is circling Kingfield/Lyndale? It appears to be MN state patrol.

I didn’t enjoy church, but the Catholic Church we attended was not somewhere that ever talked about “end times” of any of that nonsense. It’s so weird.

One thing I’ve wondered as someone who really had no functional understanding of evangelicals until very recent years is how few people in journalism truly understand the difference between evangelicals and any other Christian denomination. I think they don’t, which is not good.

This is an incredibly concerning piece of reporting, and I am not sure what to do with the worry it fills me with.

Stand With Minnesota Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

Our little standwithminnesota.com team staved off multiple evictions today. I’m so proud of us. And the stories are so heartbreaking, and there’s still so much need.

If you can help, I’ll get it directly where it needs to go.

I wish the schools taught handwriting and cursive. They do very little of either now and it catches up once you have to take notes. (This is just my experience, and if I could get my kid to do this at home I would in a heartbeat).
