Visiting teams generally stay in a hotel that is a city block away from the arena. Sad that they have to experience this, but with a guy on their roster named Arber Xhekaj, fearing ICE is likely warranted.

Taylor Rehmet won a huge Texas State Senate race last night, the first time Democrats took this seat in decades.
Here’s the kicker: Trump won this district by 17 points in 2024.
When I say we have wind at our back, Democrats, I mean it.

The group bike ride for Alex Pretti is about to depart in Minneapolis, stopping at his memorial, then Renee Good’s, and finishing at the VFW. If you can join, hop on anywhere. It’s a warm 17° & sunny!
I’ve never seen this many cyclists for a group ride. ⚡️✊🏽⚡️🚲⚡️✊🏽⚡️ #RIPPretti

Today at Lake MakaSka, #Minneapolis. The inbound flight approach to MSP Airport includes the southern end of the lake. So flights coming in at dusk would have a clear view.

Joined Julian Ocampo at his small business, closed because of ICE Occupation. The harm to people, communities, and our economy spreads like a stain, the result of the reckless, lawless federal action.

I support cleaning house at DHS.
Greg Bovino should be fired.
Kristi Noem should be fired.
Stephen Miller should be fired.
But none of those things alone will fix ICE – a new figure will take their place, and nothing will change unless Congress exerts some muscle here.

Yo, neighbors, has there been anything written about our Minnesotans better than today’s piece by @adamserwer.bsky.social in @theatlantic.com ?
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Brad Tabke won the very closest Minnesota House election in 2024, 14 votes.
Because of Brad’s hard work, the legislature is tied.
If you can spare $25 or $100, this is a great legislator from the purplest place in MN.

He has a message for his family and friends who argue that the Second Amendment is the one that guarantees all the others.

The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.
