Tell you what I’m OVER: The patronizing framing of feature stories marveling at how moms are throwing down right now for their communities. Come on. They’re constantly doing this emotional labor, planning, and work. It is not a stretch to assume their *skills* can be put to use on a larger scale.

American culture from 1776 on was Black, was Indigenous, was Spanish, was Jewish, was Quaker, was a whole lot of different things which then often got together and made splendidly non-European things, and most of our music has an African mother.
We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.

There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.

Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

I'm going to promote the heck out of this:

The Minneapolis Foundation has $4 million in grants available to small businesses for everything from rent and payroll costs to legal help and temporary relocation.

More details and the application here: www.minneapolisfoundation.org/stories/comm...

to everyone whose nervous systems are absolutely shot from the reality of living in mpls the last few months: try to get outside today. soak the sun, listen to birds, talk to your neighbors, feel the wind.

healing starts with you. when you're ready, extend out.

remember to love yourself.

breathe!

One of the most annoying tropes of culture stories about the MN is "Wow, you won't believe this, but Minneapolis is more than just Swedes and Norwegians."

It was never true and I sincerely hope that the last few weeks have helped people understand that.

And after Homan’s had his fill, I’ve got some left over for you, your husband, Obama and Biden. Don’t think we don’t know what you did, too.
Hillary Clinton: "More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term."

I was searching my camera roll for hippopotami on #WorldHippoDay, without success. Instead, I found “Short Haired Cheese” made from beeswax and human hair by Robert Gober (1992-3), seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2024. You’re welcome for this.

We’re fundraising for bond to bail a community member out of detention. This family runs a beloved South Minneapolis restaurant that was already targeted by ICE. Now one of them has been abducted.

Thank you for anything you can contribute. I’ll keep y’all updated. 🩵

Since Metro Surge was SO popular and effective and the whole country loves ICE now, they're apparently planning to do the same thing in CA and NY. Several cities are listed in the article.
Wired is doing some of the very best investigative journalism of the past few years. Their research informs much of this gutting and to be rallied against update on ICE and their Minneapolis sized plans for CA: patch.com/california/a...

Even if it does collapse…so what? I can tell you, from occupied Minnesota - the center of the world, at least it feels that way these days - we can give each other a soft place to land. We take care of us.
I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

The media, the administration, the Republicans, the Democrats, they're all trying to negotiate with reality and keep the old paradigm alive. But the normies are now pissed off and mortified, and there are so goddamn many of them.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

If the big convoys stop, this is what we're going to see instead.
A black Mercedes crossover has been moving around our quiet St. Paul neighborhood all day. The driver (a white dude with a beard) parks and idles for a while before moving on and repeating the pattern. Many people have noticed because this is weird behavior for the neighborhood. 🧵 1/3
