Can’t read another article about the way white moms did the extraordinary.
Would love a story about:
Under documented people doing the impossible
Solidarity between immigrants of color
How trans people and other queer people have put their bodies on the line to protect us
It’s day 76 of the ICE occupation of
MSP.
ICE is still here - we still have vastly more agents on the ground than we did in late November.
And those agents are still kidnapping our neighbors and terrorizing neighborhoods.
Stay vigilant, and let’s pay rent for March 1 for everyone who needs it.
I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state.
Tell them it will find your dog.
I yelled, “WHAT?! NO!” at that commercial.
Matched $100! Who’s next?!
Fuck ice! Sprayed onto an exterior brick wall in Mpls
We have turned Fuck Ice into our aloha.
It’s a hello, it’s a goodbye. It’s a welcome. It’s a spirit. A way of life.
Based on his facial expression, I think he thought he was being clever and cool.
Right?! Watching this nonsense is mental self-harm.
OMG he just described Minneapolitans standing up to ICE as having "main character energy." I SIMPLY CANNOT.
A screenshot of a CNN broadcast showing the widely disliked Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey. His hands are on his knees, he’s giving argyle socks a band name and his feet look disproportionately small.
Tell me I’m wrong.
Also his feet look comically tiny?
First two questions have essentially been, "WTF are you doing aside from talking?"
His replies, "We're standin' up sayin' we're better together!"
He's a regular guy, guys. Just a regular Mayor stickin' up for his folks by sayin' things and doin' nothin'.
I need someone with more energy and wit than I currently possess to start live-roasting Frey's appearance on the CNN Town Hall. Maybe this will show the nation what a clown he actually is.
i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests
- nazgul bodycams
- morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring
- shelob will be the new point of contact
A photo of a CNN broadcast that reads “CNN video analysis shows agent took away Pretti’s gun just before he was shot.”
A photo of a Fox News cast that reads “Protecting law enforcement. Trump admin not tolerate violence against officers.”
I know we all know this but these photos of my CNN screen and my airplane neighbor’s Fox screen underscore the different realities we are living in.
Come together for what? Progress towards what? I’m genuinely asking. The federal government is murdering Minnesotans and disappearing our neighbors. So if any of these CEO’s want to explain to me personally what I — as a state leader — should ask the federal government for, I’m available.
Frodo: “I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.”
Gandalf: “So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”
I'm honestly getting annoyed with some people (even here) acting like, within recent memory things popped off in the Twin Cities with George Floyd. 2015 was Jamar Clark, 2016 was Philando Castile and then after Floyd, in 2021 Daunte Wright was killed
On a work trip and comfort watching LOTR on the flight. I need to see loyalty, fellowship, and tenacious, good-hearted hobbits bring down Sauron to remind myself that we can, too. It won’t be easy. But we can.
The sun rose this morning, and so did you.
I’m glad you’re here.
Yay!! That’s a local brand, started by a friend of mine!
Yes! Marsu is great. Pasteleria Gama is also great - really wonderful custom cakes and you can also get them by the slice.
...and damn, now I want a piece of tres leches cake...
Seriously why is that the best cure for a migraine I thought it was just me

Standing with you! ✊🏻
This is where the death of empathy leads. We are on a horrifying path.
A screenshot of a Minneapolis mayoral forum where Jacob Frey is speaking while Jazz Hampton gives what this viewer interprets as side-eye.
I learned a new word today: snollygoster. It means a shrewd and unprincipled politician.
Jazz knows what I’m talking about.
Tell me I’m wrong.
If Love Island US ever does a Mayoral Candidates season, I nominate Charlie McCloud and Alejandro Richardson to represent Minneapolis.
Every time he talks, it gets more and more wild. And of COURSE he has a huge boner for AI.
