At no point does she utter three simple words. ICE should leave.
elizabeth shaffer called for “restraint and professionalism” from federal agents in her email today… but this is not their MO and this is not what they are here to do. they are here to terrorize us, and she saw it first hand in loring park the other day too. every video coming out shows that

Jeg er opprinnelig fra Mpls, vær så snill å les og del lokale nyheter. Journalistene våre har mye erfaring med å tolke det ICE sier skeptisk, og de har vært med demonstrantene i flere uker. Jeg anbefaler www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0... or the minnesotareformer.com

I'm from Mpls, please share local coverage. There are great local reporters, on site, with experience skeptically reading press releases from the agency employing violent staff. I recommend live updates from www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0... or the minnesotareformer.com

And we are doing this ALL OVER MINNEAPOLIS, as well as in St. Paul, suburbs, and (as per the MONARCHA observer training I was at Monday night) into Western Wisconsin. We keep each other safe, we stand up to bullies, and when we can't stop the harm - we observe and care for our people who are harmed.
I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

A beautiful day in #Zürich where the extra-cold weather reveals the sun. (MN, extra-cold is 24 Fahrenheit, and I'm way overdressed in my light puffer.)

Interesting data from Edmonton after a zoning reform there: A large increase in middle density housing, with most of it coming in the form of 8-flats.
Smaller projects are less financially feasible and thus have attracted less interest from developers.

Huh? Ellison ran a challenging primary campaign for the CD5 seat against the anointed candidate who'd been the previous rep's top aide for years.

There's likely some path dependency, and state regs can prohibit or discourage brokers (i.e. CA), and brokers are uncommon or unheard of where there's plenty of apartments.

I’ve said it before and I’ll said it again: Gender-affirming care is healthcare, period. It is evidence-based, backed by the American Medical Association, and helps trans individuals live their lives with the dignity we all deserve. Gender-affirming care saves lives.
