Kind of feel like a lot of politicians, even in Minnesota, are misreading the implications of this moment. I feel like the past three days have been tremendously radicalizing for so many people. I have witnessed it even in my own small communities, it goes beyond just incandescent rage.

I don’t know how to explain to all of you outside the Twin Cities metro how bleak it is to live here right now - and yet somehow I am even more certain of the goodness of my community than I ever have been.

Hi! Update to how you join the Minneapolis and St. Paul feed bc my screenshot was out of date. 1. Fill out the Google Form (linked in next post). 2. Wait 48-72 hours, maybe longer (vol-led so we're on it but not asap). 3. Then you have to add yourself to the feed.

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks
“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

The lesson Frey and Walz were supposed to learn in 2020 was that sending riot police to a peaceful protest creates a confrontation that results in some dipshit cops shooting people in the eye with a gas canister which then we have to goddamn pay for in settlements while also our city burns.

The rage that has to exist in the average Minnesotan to watch someone stuck on an icy hill and STAND BY AND TAUNT THEM
This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

Town Hall Lanes (my husband’s employer) is offering free meals to anyone under 18yo today. No restrictions. Go in, bowl a few games, bug my husband and feed your kids. (And let neighbors who are food insecure know)

My anger at having to stand outside my kid’s school for two hours to ensure none of their classmates, parents, or teachers get kidnapped by my own government is only slightly tempered by the amazing outpouring of support from other parents and especially neighbors who stand against this bullshit.

It was awful yesterday. Our kids, our educators, and community were so mistreated. Kids in our community deserve to learn without fear of ICE taking their educators and attacking our neighbors.
Grateful to the community and staff there who were there.

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation).
Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.
