I was just thinking this when I spied a “Fuck Ice” sign in an apartment window while waiting for the train.

Now means NOW.

Despite claims of a drawdown, ICE activity is still happening in and around Minnesota schools. We're seeking an emergency order to put a stop to it IMMEDIATELY: https://edmn.me/4tT5DSE #iceoutschools #iceoutmn

Elmore Nickleberry, a Memphis sanitation worker who marched with Martin Luther King, has died at 92 Elmore Nickleberry, a longtime Memphis sanitation worker who participated in the pivotal 1968 strike that brought the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to the city where the civil rights leader was killed, ...

One of the sanitation workers is Elmore Nickleberry - he died in 2024 www.newsday.com/news/nation/...

Those places make me feel young again!

I can't remember the last time I was carded at the liquor store. Please pass an executive order requiring them to pretend I look like I might not be 21!

Frederiksen, according to Berlingske, is understood to have calmly waited until Graham had finished his outburst before replying: “When you’re done with that, the meeting can continue.”

‘Please come back’: Minnesota restaurants brace for a long recovery after ICE surge With no official bailout on the horizon, the restaurant community tries to save itself.

“No industry built on human labor can function under terror,” Sherman wrote. More than 1,000 restaurant industry people from across the country signed it.

Yes, that was the day. And there is Jonathan Rosenblum!

Pin reading “Jesse Jackson opened for me! WI 2011”

I’ll always treasure this pin that Nan Enstad made for me after I spoke after Jesse Jackson at an Act 10 protest in Madison, 2011. In many respects that seems like the dawn of the history era we now inhabit.

I love that I can bike home from work, but it sure makes me mad to pass the "Save Our Streets" signs on Summit Ave while the potholes are shaking my teeth loose and I'm dodging cars parked in the bike lane because they can't be bothered to drive up a little mound of ice! @saintpaulbike.bsky.social

Shouldn’t this get him disbarred?

Someone placed this box at the entrance to my workplace, in a neighborhood with frequent ICE activity. #lifeunderoccupation

Between construction firms and farm owners you’d think there’d be more business opposition to ICE in MN. More great reporting @startribune.com

Wow. I'll have to ride it some day!

It sounds fun. The trail from La Crosse to the Dells is beautiful and completely off road.

I've taken bikes on the Empire Builder from St Paul to La Crosse. It's great, but the bike reservations are limited so get one early. You can only load or unload bikes at staffed stations - La Crosse is one of the few so check if you plan to use a different one (The Dells should be staffed but no!)

I had the same thought. It doesn’t stop flowing.

Two people die after falling through ice on unusually warm weekend Authorities located bodies Saturday in the Mississippi River in Minneapolis and Bass Pond in Bloomington.

I saw two people in the middle of the Mississippi on Friday just south of Lake Street and wondered if they would break through. This seems to have been someone else but he broke through around the same time. Terrifying.

My friend and colleague Eladio Bobadilla will soon publish a new and timely book, *Dangerous Migrations: Mexican Labor and the Fight for Immigrant Rights* -- a labor history of migration and struggle from below. Pre-order with discount using the code below.

Great to see this recognition from @sidneyhillman.bsky.social of the essential reporting by @sahanjournal.bsky.social of the occupation and the community response. Support local media!

I keep thinking about these guys and wondering if they're ok.

Particularly after @legaldefensefund.bsky.social won this settlement www.naacpldf.org/press-releas...
