Same thing over here… a few handfuls mini eggs. So so good. They pair nicely with a bubbly water.

Same thing happened to me not being able to sleep and finding this. I’ve been extra worried about this for a few days. And here it is. And worse than I imagined

Me too! I hope we find something to work on together in the future. Even if it is just sharing virtual space to help get projects done!

I’ve had the honor & pleasure of working with Ashley. So grateful she is bringing her skill & wisdom to this moment in this way. I’m tempted to say her magic, but that isn’t right. She is a talented person who loves her community and stepped up. It feels like magic, but we can all do it in some way.

Oh man… this hits hard. Sending strength and patience. And perhaps dark humor, if it is helpful. As a sandwich generation elder caregiver who has navigated through more than my family’s fair share of dementia (and continue to do so!)… solidarity.

My neighborhood doesn’t get great bus service. The 9 is the only one, and it only comes every half hour. So, catching it with after just a 2-minute wait felt like a winter storm miracle. Hurray for transit!

The twin cities snowstorm was more than i expected! So I last-minute decided to walk/train/bus home from St Paul to Mpls. And I’ve had the best @metrotransitmn.bsky.social experience. The trip advisors on the green line dealt respectfully w/ someone smoking on train. And I caught the 9 bus quickly!

A strong, free, independent press is so important to the civic fabric that makes Minnesota who we are. Grateful for all the folks who do this essential work and proud to contribute to you all.

As a Minneapolis resident… thank you for stretching yourself like this. Our community needs it. πŸ™

Bring all the detained children home to Minnesota. And stop detaining children. It is horrifying that this is happening. The educators working so hard to hold their school communities together and sound the alarm for all of us to act are heroes. These educators are heroes who protect kids.

Parents are afraid to send their kids to school, classrooms sit half-empty, children are being taken to detention facilities. We’ve crossed a line.

I stood with education leaders to discuss the growing harm federal actions are causing to children, families, and our schools.

Some very good news. And we keep going. We need to keep going to bring more home and stop more from being taken.

I love Mpls. My kid has a small list of safe foods including a v. specific order from our neighborhood pizza shop. Today, 5 mins after ordering, I got a call from them confirming it was right. It wasn’t! The guy making it recognized the order & that it wasn’t right. So, he checked. Dinner saved! πŸ₯Ί

The horrors are happening across the state. Not just in Minneapolis or the Twin Cities metro.

More children being detained from the Columbia Heights school district. Sickening. I am so angry at the trauma being experience by these kids, their family, and our community. ICE out. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

There isn’t any indication that immigration activity has changed in Minneapolis. In fact, this afternoon, federal immigration agents began staging at Holy Rosary Catholic Church located in East Phillips. This activity is disgraceful and creates an unsafe environment for our neighbors. 1/

Thank you for making it! I have sent it to multiple friends/families who live out of state and are asking for a trusted important place to give. So many want to help. It is so helpful to have a trusted resource to just send to them.

Calling the residents of Minnesota who have been shown documenting or attempting to witness ICE activities in our midst β€œprotesting” is inaccurate. ICE is ubiquitous. We don’t go to ICE, we see it in our daily lives. Secondly, legal observing is our only recourse to defend ourselves. πŸ‘‡πŸ»

An orange candle in a glass jar is lit in the dark. The light of a bookstore shines in the background, with the silhouettes of people in between.

Gathered with my neighbors to to light a candle and sing for Alex, for our neighbors in fear, for each other. Courage is not absence of fear. It is feeling fear and showing up anyway.

Join Light up the Night tonight, not a mass gathering in any one place but to get people out of their houses with candles and flashlights in every neighborhood at 7:00. Please spread the word.

sitting here trying to think why this is so heavy on my heart.

but. my grandparents survived a genocide that most people don’t know about, that many deny.

we have a duty to bear witness and tell the history. we are future ancestors. we have to know the story.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Be aware of black ice this morning Twin Cities people. I saw a dozen turned around and smashed up cars on a mile stretch of freeway between downtown Minneapolis and my neighborhood. I hope everyone is okay.

To get ready for this march, I put on the warmth of my ancestors with a Norwegian sweater under my coat and a pin remembering a political mentor who helped prepare many of us in Minnesota for this time in which we must fight fascism.

It was cold, but we Minnesotans are strong. We are fighting hard things - against cruelty and lack of humanity. And we get stronger together as we fight for each other.

A picture of the ICE out MN march in Minneapolis. A sign offering handwarmers for those who need it is in the forefront. And Minneapolis City Hall is visible in the back. The sky is clear blue, and the sun is shining.

I’m proud of us Minnesota. We will keep going until ICE is out of our communities. We keep each other safe.
