Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

My hometown is a tiny dot in northern MN. As a kid, I was always afraid of the Cities.
I lived in the Cities for 4-5 years during seminary. I grew to love it.
My heart is breaking for the places I love so much. No one deserves to be under occupation by a hostile force.

At my event in Detroit Lakes, attendees were called away from my event to legally observe an ICE raid at a Walmart.
In this moment, this is one of the best ways we can protect our neighbors. I've taken legal observer training, and I hope you will too.

Heartily agree. The original plan, if memory serves, extended the line to Rice, which I found very odd. But to St. Cloud? That made great sense.
The ONLY reason Northstar failed was because Pawlenty failed to insist the route include St Cloud.
I took the last Northstar train into Minneapolis this morning. The loss of Northstar is a big loss for Fridley - we invested millions to build the platform and tunnel and adjacent housing. Learn more about one more chance to ride, and the Route 827 bus service replacing it.
