Just got a message from a signal group saying ICE was photographing *children* getting on and off a school bus today.
Stories about what ICE's presence in Minnesota has done to kids — something I'm seeing firsthand — are hard to read. It's unfathomable that kids have to go through this. www.startribune.com/ice-children...
Yuen: Even if ICE left tomorrow, the damage to kids is already done
“They’re all suffering,” says one Minnesota immigrant dad who has been sheltering in place with his children.

In occupied Minneapolis, citizen barricades rightly slow injustice
With masked men routinely violating both constitutional rights and traffic laws, local law enforcement should let the barricades stand.

Axios had a story today about how hard Minnesota’s economy is being hit and how slow the recovery could be. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to say that if you want to support the Twin Cities, you should plan a visit for this summer, spend some money here, & see how amazing it is for yourself.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social you played the “Good Morning Song” the other day - actually super relevant to #Minnesota #radio as that was what Boone & Erickson played every morning on WCCO in the 70s-80s (and had a 50 share!) It’s a sweet callout to us up here!
