I went through and added up the total paid rents through our adopt-a-rent program, and it is 329 families for $463,217. All peer-to-peer, no fundraising. Just neighbors helping each other out.

If you want to adopt a family, and can afford to give $500 or more, signal me at asiniiwiikwe.72

DFLers are on the offensive as the Legislature returns - MinnPost GOP leaders seek a bonding bill. Democrats want that too, plus an assault weapons ban and immigration enforcement reform.

Interviews suggest DFLers have lots of ambitions. Republicans might be wary of overpromising.

Here's what state government reporter Matthew Blake thinks you can expect from year two of Minnesota’s 94th Legislature.

For Minnesota farmers, it’s been a season of discontent - MinnPost Tariffs, ICE enforcement and dysfunctional politics have made for a tense backdrop to farmers' annual winter farm-show circuit.

just an update from when we talked to the reporter: we’ve now successfully connected over 100 families for direct, peer to peer rent adoption. we’ve collected and immediately distributed…a lot.

it is a drop in the bucket, but all of this is. everyone is just doing what they can.

Renovation of the Lake Street/Midtown Blue Line station is delayed - MinnPost On the up side, more time planning means less risk once the renovations finally – hopefully – begin in 2027.

construction on this renovation of a busy lake street light rail station will now go through 2028 -- assuming that this time any bids are filed for the project www.minnpost.com/metro/2026/0...

Minnesotans’ moonshot to cover rent for their immigrant neighbors - MinnPost The need for emergency assistance for rent is bigger than a GoFundMe, but that’s not stopping residents from trying.

Neighborhood groups and others are coming together in mutual aid to help those who can't leave their homes pay rent. But is it enough?

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧡

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Man charges at Rep. Ilhan Omar and sprays her with substance at town hall Omar was calling for the abolishment of ICE and for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign when a man sitting in the front row rushed up and sprayed her.

This is unacceptable. Violence and intimidation have no place in Minneapolis. We can disagree without putting people at risk. I’m relieved Rep. Omar is okay and appreciate MPD for responding quickly. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated in our city. www.cbsnews.com/news/rep-ilh...

If You Think This Instrument Is Hard to Play, Try Building One The oboe has 500 parts. Turning a profit is a killer. But Jim Phelan is bent on reviving one of the great names in classical music.

As demand for classical instruments has waned over the years, Jim Phelan, who owns the A. Laubin oboe company, is determined to keep producing them. He has developed a new material to build his oboes from and hopes that will help people to keep playing for years to come.

Dumpster fire: What’s the future of the North Loop’s giant trash incinerator? - MinnPost Hennepin County’s long-range plan to shut down the facility, known as the HERC, isn’t nearly fast enough for some residents.

spent some time over the last few weeks writing about the HERC and how while a lot of people agree it's time to shut it down, when exactly in the next 15 years that can/should happen is a bigger question www.minnpost.com/metro/2026/0...
