A beautiful homemade flan
One of the moms of the families I’ve been delivering groceries to asked today if I’d be willing to accept something from her. And she came back with this beautiful flan she’d made to say thank you for helping us. I am crying. People are too kind. This is whom our government is forcing into hiding.

ICE spent $30 million just on bullets.

The best coffee. It ruined me for coffee shops because no coffee tasted as good as what I could make at home.

Not MAHA: Clean air, clean water, health insurance, vaccines, disease monitoring, scientific research, food assistance, food safety, bike lanes

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
Actually they pulled him from a car and beat him so viciously that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
A reminder to the haters it takes this many states to outnumber the American citizens in Puerto Rico

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

Birmingham, UK, is answering this call.
Saturday, 1 PM, Victoria Square.
We ride in memory of Alex Pretti and against fascism.
All welcome. Will you join us?
The people of Minnesota did that. Not Schumer and Jeffries, not Walz and Frey, not the standard-bearers of decorum. The People.

Looking forward to the day when we win hard enough to not need articles like “what are the paramilitaries spraying at you?: a helpful guide”
"ICE OUT" on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, as seen from my flight leaving MSP airport
Great article about how small businesses used to be a core constituency for Democrats, and why they should be again.

One last thing--so many Minnesota small businesses chose to shut down in solidarity with us. But the big corporations kept their doors open--this time.
These small businesses are so often the context for the community connections that are helping us get through this ICE occupation. I've always thought of eating out as "splurging," but now I see it as an opportunity to invest in my community in ways that will pay me back when I need it.
As I read statements from businesses I know personally, memories came rushing back of the times I've connected with neighbors over a cup of coffee, round of beers, or plate of pupusas.
They made the decision in conversation with other business owners, staff, and customers. That means there have been many hundreds of intense conversations all across our state about what solidarity in a time like this means.
This decision was not made lightly. Most small businesses and their workers are already on the edge. Many--especially immigrant-owned businesses--are already partly or completely closed.
