WHEN: Monday, March 9, 10:00 am   Where: Saint Paul Dethloon
The blight on Midway that was the former CVS on Snelling and University is going to be demolished on Monday. Come celebrate! Bring a chair. Bring treats to share. Bring a musical instrument. Bring and share with friends. Bring your senior prom dress. Bring your toddler. Most of all, bring joy and your love for Saint Paul!
If you are able, consider making a donation to Keystone Community Services, a legacy organization providing assistance to those in need for nearly a hundred years. I'm not sure yet how to do this safely and securely, but I'll get it figured out by Monday.
NOTE: Start time is based on hearsay, and will be updated when I can find specific information.

Invite your friends! I have a pretty small #SaintPaul #St.Paul #StPaul reach here, so please share. Let's make this a demolition to remember.

I wish my 7 year old phone photographed it better, but I'm loving Atomic Polish's ICE OUT nail polish. They're from NE Mpls and it was a fundraiser back in January. Last I checked I couldn't find it on their website so they may not be doing it anymore. The way this sparkles in the sunlight is S Tier

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"

Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

We did have extensive testing of the dick whistles, surprising no one, I'm sure. πŸ˜‚ But when romance authors are in charge you only send out consensual dick whistles.

Did my first school observation shift on Thursday last week. So many kids were excited to wave at me in my reflective safety vest. I helped them feel safe.
Volunteers in safety vests wouldn't have been able to save the girls at the elementary school in Minab. Could we stop being the baddies, please?

I hope you all did something tonight that you enjoyed and not something that would have made you mad.

I played Stardew Valley co-op with my boyfriend, and it was lovely.

I am still amazed at how much of the resistance has come in the form of caregiving, and how the fascists had absolutely no idea how to respond to that.

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesotaβ€”KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation.

Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

If you are confiscating writing materials from imprisoned children because they smuggled out a letter that described the conditions they're living under, you are a literal monster and should be treated accordingly.

I was so hopeful that Groundswell would come back. Gutted.

I have high hopes and expectations for whoever takes that corner spot.

I am not watching the superb owl.
I am very happy with my choice.

In case you're wondering where we are at this point in American politics, it's at...hoping for a video of a group of wild turkeys f***ing up an 🧊 agent.

SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. @FOX9

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

It’s so hard to describe what this is like to people who aren’t here. The ICE/BCP occupation seeps into everything. It’s not just the horror of the big stuff. It’s the little stuff, too: helicopters all night, vigilance during every trip out of the house, guilt at having any downtime at all.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.
