I want to format these all into beautiful things to be shared across the internet, but until I have the time for it, if you are from Minnesota and need to know that people love you and have your back, that you are inspiring people all over the world, here are some notes.

If you got tear gassed by federal agents today, it was so Bovino and friends could cruise around creating social media content.

🧵ICE's tactics for arresting and holding observers and protestors is ever-shifting, and I'm hearing lots of different stories. Right now, my perspective is that these are your best practices:

Multiple MN kids have been sent to Texas concentration camps. Can you get them out?
I joined agriculture leaders from across the state today in Mankato for the Minnesota Ag Expo. Minnesota farmers are the backbone of our economy, and we must ensure they have what they need to thrive—strong markets and stable trade policies.

Just a friendly reminder that our nervous systems are not designed to be activated all the time. It's ok to step away, focus on things that bring you joy or peace, and return when you are ready.

If you live in Minnesota and you want to help, adopt a couple ethnic restaurants. Remote work from there, go to lunch there, have a snack there, bring friends. Sit by the windows. Be a presence.

Good morning! It's a great time to take 30 seconds to take two deep belly breaths, relax your shoulders, and feel your feet on the ground!

Let tonight be a lesson to all of us: Make sure you have established your own, and are aware of your loved ones', advance directives.

Do you want to be awakened from your slumber when It Happens? Or do you want to find out when you awake naturally and unlock your phone? Let your loved ones know.

It seems like cutting education and forcing PTO moms to fund schools the past 40 years has had some unintended consequences for Republicans.
It is tough here right now in Minneapolis but Greg Bovino crying to the paper about how he’s getting his ass handed to him by plant sale moms has been a real pick me up

Bovino Fact Check

Bovino: "Mayor Frey actually told his police force to fight federal agents in the city."

Never happened.

Bovino: "You should have seen the look on O'Brian's face - Chief O'Brian - his eyebrows actually raised at that one."

Chief's name is O'Hara - Brian O'Hara.

Good to see approval so high but also I want to say for the hundredth time that what gets covered in the media as "protests" in the Twin Cities is very often "people going about their day and then running to help when they see federal agents trying to kidnap their neighbors"
Approval For Anti-ICE Protests:

Approve: 47%
Disapprove: 44%

People keep asking what it's like living in Minneapolis right now. The best description I can think of is this: imagine any dystopian movie or book, except the resistance all have day jobs, snow to shovel and kids in sports.

A third immigrant held at Camp East Montana has died, reportedly by suicide. Victor Manuel Díaz was detained in Minnesota. He is the sixth migrant to die since Jan. 1 in ICE detention.
