Amy Klobuchar speaks at a microphone, while Jacob Frey stands behind her looking with a grim expression

If no one actually good is going to run for Governor against Amy, Jacob Frey has the chance to do the funniest thing

(It’s a parody account)

I mean, true, but I’m pretty sure that’s a parody account

There was an MPS vehicle present but it was not operated by or cooperating with ICE. statement: www.mpschools.org/about-mps/ne...

slow down your neighbors and check yourself, please please please before sharing unverified information. www.mpschools.org/about-mps/ne...

same here, this post bsky.app/profile/publ...

this is probably the second-worst thing they could do from a PR standpoint, but they’ve already done the worst thing twice so

[listening in car, tears streaming down face] it’s kind of a shitty song

Can I ask, what is it that we want the next MN governor to actually do? The bar has been so substantially lowered I can only think of 3 things:

1. Combat the fraud narrative (as well as actual fraud)
2. Resist federal harm
3. Calmly and effectively manage state departments and workforce

What else?

The MSP feed is the beginning and end of my social media experience. I feel bad for places that don’t have a community of their own.

I hear you I hear you, maybe this conversation between Minnesota Mayor Frey and Kara Swisher is more your style

my utterly stupid, stubbornly recurring, intrusive thought: train the roving bands of wild turkeys to disrupt ICE

I get it, though. No one thinks he’s bad because he’s short. Calling him out as fascist may be true, but it’s also clearly deeply empowering for him personally. Standing for phone videos in front of his shock troops with his cosplay trenchcoat?

The short jokes are about telling him we see him true.

Appreciate the sentiment! we’re still very much under attack up here today though

imo, for a protest you want signage that (1) can be understood from a distance, and (2) doesn't require context that the average person would not have. I don't think this fits either criteria.

ICE is still here. Bovino is just a sad little man. Removing him from the board changes nothing.

(it’s pretty funny, tho)

(ok, not really)

Ice storms or ICE raids, we’ll show up prepared.

All my homies in the paid protestor’s union are gonna need a fat raise after all this overtime

Could you not ask people to give directly to Immigrant Defense Network, instead?

Prosecute ICE.

I thought this was a @nanoraptor.danamania.com post for a minute

Who paid for and organized Target Center today?

dammit I’m crying again

Wouldn’t Melissa Hortman be so incredibly proud of Minnesota?

An instant read thermometer is taking the temperature of running tap water. The digital meter reads 37.5 degrees.

@wedge.live 37.5 degrees in SW Minneapolis. Am I going to win?

don't have to speak for it.

Once you realize that you don't have to hold on to Whiteness, it starts to lose its hold on you. And you can go out into the streets, with your whistle, and defend your immigrant neighbors, not out of shame, but out of love.

plenty of non-white folks are steeped in it as well.

Lots of white people think they reflexively have to defend Whiteness, or apologize for it, because they have internalized it so deeply. But others have realized that they're not Whiteness people, that it doesn't have to speak for them, and they
