The day all of these monsters finally leave MN I feel like the most Minnesotan thing to do is have the biggest potluck in state history. Bars as far as the eyes can see. The power grid being strained by the collective energy being used by a million slow cookers. A Hamm’s pony keg on every corner…

This right here is why we can never let up until detentions and removals are stopped. When someone is got, they are spirited away as quickly as possible with no notice or documentation. We have little to no visibility into what is occurring in the camps. We know we cannot believe DHS.

Hey Minnesotans. Have your bosses sent you a mealy-mouthed email about how to remain productive during these troubled times or some other example of non-committal, faux-concerned corporate-speak? We want to publish a bunch of these. Send examples to keith at racketmn.com. You will NOT be identified.

pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:
- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Alice, 25, had never protested before, let alone in the face of state-sponsored violence. Though St. Cloud is seen as a red city, she said it's more left-leaning than surrounding towns.
Once ICE violence erupted in Minneapolis, she wanted her immigrant neighbors to know she had their backs.

Like many of you, I have seen this video, and I'm demanding answers.
My team has reached out to ICE repeatedly and have yet to get clear answers.

Star Tribune: “Republican Chris Madel made a stunning exit from the Minnesota governor’s race on Jan. 26, saying he cannot support the national GOP’s ‘stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.’”
Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal ‘retribution’ against Minnesota
His exit comes as some other Republicans have started to distance themselves from the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the state.

So, he donates to Jonathan Ross's gofundme, then meets with him in person, and then realizes, holy shit I can't be a part of this anymore. Hmm. Interesting. May others have similar experiences of scales coming off eyeballs, etc.

is the cure for male loneliness showing up early and setting up chairs?
A lot of the Male Loneliness Epidemic can be traced back to the fact that most cis dudes don’t participate in communal logistics.
I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.

If we wanted to root out outside agitators, we could hold a potluck with Minnesotans bringing a pan with a single bar leftover.
Set those out and see who takes the bait.
