Minneapolis kid, long-suffering MN sports fan, rabid MN Lynx fan, Methodist Pastor/Heretic, St. Louis Park MN City Council Rep, minister of naps, up and coming grumpy old man, laborer for a more just and equitable world.
The added video to this is powerful. Seeing the shot of the Avenue I grew up on and where my mom still lives was too literally close to home.

Minnesota is a bellwether for the future of democracy. @peggyflanagan.bsky.social has the spine, deep community roots & courage needed to take on the Trump Admin. She knows they're ransacking our communities & dismantling our future. She's ready to fight like hell as MN's Senator. JanePAC.com/peggy

I have great admiration for Alex Wagner. I think she’s an excellent reporter and anchor. But someone needs to teach her how to wear a hat.

The St. Cloud City Council passed a resolution reaffirming that the city is a “just and welcoming community” to all residents before an overflow crowd Monday night. It was was offered by council member Hudda Ibrahim, a member of St. Cloud’s Somali American community.

DHS is so out of control and beyond the law in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area that we need legal observers for the legal observers.

I felt compelled to open worship today w/“The Times They Are A-Changin’”. It felt like a prayer for the times to change. But I alsoadded a verse for this moment, recognizing that I am no Dylan, not am I trying to be, and who am I to amend his work? That said, I did. Thought I’d share... (1/2)

Today I marched for ICE out of Minneapolis and existence in w/my friend & colleague St. Louis Park Mayor Nadia Mohamed. Her family emigrated here from Somalia when she was young. She is just one of. 100k amazing Somali immigrants in MN who have contributed mightily to our state & are a blessing.

If y’all from other states could handle the Greenland thing, we in Minnesota would appreciate it. We have our hands full right now.

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.

ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

This is how we protest in Minnesota. We’re a thrifty breed.

This is the viewjust up the hill from my church. I often go here to reflect/pray. I love this city. It’s certainly flawed but I love it, as many do, and we will continue to love it to the degree that we will not be intimated into silence. May we all rise and continue to shine light on their shadows.

And that's just a sampling. We are calling from people across the nation to speak out. We are under attack by our own government.
Two days after an ICE agent killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, a federal agent asked an observer, "Have y'all not learned?" Her phone was taken and she was briefly detained.

Two days after that, another federal agent said, “You did not learn from what just happened” to a different observer.

Forgive the length but there is a lot to be said. The Minneapolis/St Paul metro area is under siege, friends. I’ve witnessed it first hand. Here are my thoughts youtu.be/XQW0E4X322k?...
ICE in the Minneapolis Area. Wake up!

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

A moment of levity after a week of monitoring ICE in efforts to protect our beloved neighbors: When I left the house today I told the dog to be safe.

This is a video of an ICE observer on the St. Louis Park/Hopkins, MN border today. It's an all out threat to kill. Please spread it and if you have connections to news outlets send it.

Welp: Trying to protect
vulnerable neighbors, I had the great honor of being Flipped off by an ICE agent today as they were all over my city intimidating people. They are the domestic terrorists. They’re literally terrorizing.
