I’m extremely disappointed that Gov. Tim Walz, Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy, and DFL House Leader Hortman abandoned our communities. They made a deal with the GOP to strip away healthcare from undocumented residents. 1/

With certain chain grocers owned by conglomerates doing rollbacks of DEI initiatives, now is as good a time as any to remind you of the many international grocers we have in the Twin Cities that I keyed up for @racketmn.bsky.social: racketmn.com/guide-intern...

The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group:

BG Stats wrapped! 98 total plays of 61 unique games in 2024.

Curious to see how it evolves next year.

since the election, @jayboller.bsky.social and i have contacted roughly 66 (if my math is correct) mutual aid groups, nonprofits, and other orgs in the twin cities to bring you this frankly unwieldy list of local places to support with your time and money: racketmn.com/where-to-vol...
