One of our newest parks commissioners has been doing a lot to help uplift folks in need. Let's help.

In his acceptance speech for award for best screenplay, Ryan Coogler said β€œwhen you look at a blank page, think of who you love” and I dunno, that really moved me so I wrote it down and sat it on my desk to look at while I work

Reading American history will break your heart a thousand times but it will also fill you with such admiration and awe for all the people who were excluded from the protection of America’s founding principles and fought to promote, protect and expand them anyways

If you can remember a world before β€œThe Santa Clause 2,” you can remember the world before DHS. If you can’t, well, imagine you can imagine it.

It’s illegal in Minnesota to use plates that aren’t registered to the vehicle using them, and that applies to unmarked law enforcement vehicles.

The director of Minnesota’s Driver and Vehicle Services division said in a letter to Kristi Noem that such violations β€œwill not be tolerated.”

Swapped, covered and removed: The license plate tactics ICE is using in Minnesota The Department of Homeland Security defends secretive practices as safety measures.

Another 11% of the plates reviewed by the Star Tribune had some kind of irregularity, including expired tabs from different vehicles or plates registered to a nonexistent business. A quarter of the vehicles were rentals.

We reviewed more than 100 Minnesota license plates attached to immigration enforcement vehicles in recent weeks.

We found that nearly 60% were not registered with the state of Minnesota, including the Chevy Tahoe that federal agent Jonathan Ross traveled in the day he fatally shot Renee Good.

look this is just a whole branding problem, what if we just called them roundabouts?

filter blockades: scary, bad, confusing, american
roundabouts: less threatening, already exist in places here, vaguely british

They're trying to tell us that they always get what they want. That there is nothing so hideous that they won't do it, even if it's kidnap a five year old child and then, when they lose, really try even harder to make him suffer more.

Fuck them.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

I've done threads about Pizza Lucé recently and not just about ordering brownies from them. They got a lot of hate on Facebook for closing for the strike & their social media person handled it well. They sent me a gift card after my husband died & I told them what their food had meant to us. ❀️ 🧡

Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon.

A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website:

This week, my illegally detained neighbor -- an asylum seeker with a wife and two children -- will have a hearing that gives him a chance to get home to his family and get his asylum case back on track. But he will need to pay a $6000 bond.

It was fantastic to see Scarlet Elf Cups have returned to the local country park. I found them there for the first time last year, and they're back in the same spot. The Jelly Ears were plentiful, too. #fungifriends

Listen it’s great this happened and we should celebrate and encourage it at the same time we can’t talk about this without noting that it happened through a series of phone calls, one of which was the woman’s husband chatting with the police chief, who he had known for years.

movements are as much about building themselves up as they are learning resilience & sustainability in the face of collective burnout, which folks often don’t realize they’re in until after they smash up meaningful spaces/relationships.

burnout is an inevitability. how you move through it is not.

DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold.

It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.
