US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

My aunt and uncle went without power for 2.5 months after Maria. My grandfather who lives in San Juan went even longer. The power lines were the most impactful image of many tonight.

I know next to nothing about figure skating, and even let out an involuntary "holy shit" out loud earlier today when I saw it live.

Still 34° here. Thanks snow. 😑😑
In the forecast yesterday, I mentioned how some of the snow-free places in southwest MN could get into the 50s.

Currently 50° in Canby and 52° in Luverne.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

I am sitting here minding my own business while my kid plays Minecraft and all of a sudden the game starts playing an 8-bit rendition of "Mad World" as the background music?? He's like .. "it's just minecraft music Mom."

One knife. Peanut butter first, then jelly. Wipe knife on bread or PB jar before switching. Y'all licking the knife in between are going on my list of places not to visit for dinner. 😂
I just found out that my spouse makes a PB&J sandwich using the same knife for both toppings, instead of one knife for each separate container.

We've been married for over 16 years. I cannot believe I just discovered this NOW.

Is it 1 knife or 2 when making PB&J? Chime in!

It's been weighing on my mind a lot lately. How much do I share with my kids? How do I explain to them what they are seeing happen around them? This is our home, not some far away abstract thing.
The political socialization literature suggests that the present moment is likely to have enormous impact on the political views of young people for decades to come.

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

We have reached the level of cold here where our house starts making random popping noises.

people were so worried about this protest and there’s probably more people waiting for a hot dog at the st. louis park costco right now
Downtown Minneapolis currently—

Jake Lang and a handful of other racists/RW propagandists are surrounded by about 50 cameras and some antifascists chanting him down. A banner the group arrived with has been broken.

Watching people post who aren’t in MN is so weird it’s like “oh I’m on a hurdles trip, here’s where I had some lunch” meanwhile we’re here like “oh they got the green poison gas tonight ok be careful everyone.”

Couldn't sum up the mood in Minneapolis right now any better than that.
Was at a community defense training the other day and a bunch of little old ladies were like "what happens when we get arrested"

It never ceases to amaze me that people can all watch the same exact video and come to such wildly divergent conclusions of the "facts" they just saw. Confirmation bias is a trip.

If you are looking for heroes...shout out to the teachers doing what they can to protect their students.
ICYMI: Minneapolis Public Schools will offer a virtual option for students until February 12th, starting next week. Educators, staff, and administration will begin to work to stand up this option for students tomorrow.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but courage isn’t the absence of fear, it’s being scared and doing it anyway
