After horse escapes, Congress must weigh whether to close barn door.

It’s crazy that it’s basically just a combination of the single worst most disastrous parts of every administration in history

My husband is already calling it this and inquiring about a possible mascot. It's not even 8am.

Remember, if you or your kids get drafted by the peace president for his war, he doesn't like people who get captured sooooo

This dinner, a simple spinach salad, some white wine, then we burn shit down

bill clinton requesting a public congressional hearing is fine or whatever but literally no one is stopping him from speaking publicly now. we know you’re guilty dude take all the other creeps down with you

If you're wondering how reporting on Minnesota by people unfamiliar with Minnesota is going, someone located Fort Snelling as sitting at the mouth of the Mississippi River.

♥️

Between these and the Boston chant, I've run out of tissues.

I'll be safe, but also a bit loud, possibly disruptive.

Tonight our local coffee shop in St Paul opened for neighbors to gather outside with candles to sing and have a place to warm up.

In the 4 blocks from my house to the coffee shop we saw 2 other groups gathered with candles & also singing.

It's surreal and sad but it's incredibly beautiful.

Candles on the corn and purple gathered at street corner vigil in St Paul MN.

A comfort to be with neighbors tonight.

Protesters chanting "We're not cold, we're not afraid, Minne[apolis/sota] taught us to be brave" in Boston tonight outside Government Center station.

Only speaking personally, but today’s execution isn’t scaring me from protecting our neighbors, as some suggest is ICE’s goal. Nor am I angry with incandescent rage, in that I know such rage is unhelpful. Rather, I feel like it has forced me to truly accept that the same fate might befall me.

Plus, what kind of psycho wants back the receipts from that time they were a total asshole?

Former governor of Minnesota, Jesse Ventura, when asked by Virginia officials to give it back said "Why? We won."

For those who are just finding out about the sheer will of Minnesotans, this isn't a recent thing. Despite a congressional resolution as well as many requests from the state of Virginia, we still won't give back a confederate flag we took from them in the civil war. You know why? Because fuck that.

Yeah it's alot. However, I believe I just manipulated things and she'll be moving into her place THIS WEDNESDAY instead of Saturday!!! Pretty pleased with myself right now.

Less than a week left

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.

The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:

As a vikings fan, I did feel partially responsible for their loss after cheering for them the whole game.

Of all the acts of resistance I've heard about from my neighbors here in Minnesota, someone's aunt throwing bologna at an ice vehicle has got to be top 5.

Lol Perfect. I love that! I'm on my 3rd 1000 piece and might have to make a space on the wall as well. Thanks for the idea!

I have a jigsaw puzzle on the dining room table and it calms my mind every time I go back to it. Highly recommend.

Infant needs CPR after feds unleash flash-bangs on family van with 6 kids inside The father of three children who were hospitalized in Minneapolis on Wednesday night accused federal agents of launching flash-bang munitions and tear gas into their family van after they were caught ...

Keep sharing this story. EVERYONE needs to see it. Call people who don't use social media and read it to them. This has to fucking stop.

She could go down to the Whipple building or join a protest. Ffs, St Cloud city council members were out protesting and calming their constituents. The very least she could do is show the hell up.

I shouldn’t even be saying ‘[governor]’s podcast’ at all man what the hell

I have that accent and it's true I sound ridiculous when mad.

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.

That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.
