ICE in Minneapolis got me posting again. I swear i hate micro-blogging but here i am typing tiny messages into my phone.
Every time a headline hits, like a man detained in Minneapolis dying in a Texas DHS facility, you feel like you have to try to write something that actually matters.

First time I've seriously thought about unsubscribing
@nytimes.com.
This genre is exhausted. Cherry-picking a couple people in Nisswa and calling it insight. And honestly, as a Minneapolis resident and a Minnesotan, it's fucking offensive.
@mprnews.org and @startribune.com so much better.

So to keep people in the loop, one of the biggest school districts in the state is closed Tuesday and Wednesday because they need to give teachers time to build hybrid options for families worried about their children getting kidnapped on the way to school by lawless masked armed federal goons.

The January 23rd strike in Minneapolis needs to be called off. How is it supporting immigrants? How is it stopping ICE??
Time is better spent volunteering and supporting local charities, rather than pressuring businesses and pushing for a walkout on day when schools are closed.

Just joined Bluesky. Unsure if this is a community, a holding pattern, or a thought experiment about attention. Apparently lists are how you exist here. I am open to being categorized.
