I’m not sure I can think of another technology that was this hyped that failed so spectacularly at its core function
Thank you!
The MSP feed is down, and even though I hardly ever post on here, I feel so lost right now!
i think we should start a petition to permanently ban pete hegeseth from the minnesota state fair.
it feels like that’s how you excommunicate a minnesotan. sweet martha signs the order. fairchild throws you to the curb.
I’m in Ireland and an Irish friend keeps asking me to say “Minnesota” just so he can enjoy the particular o sound
Thanks to a FOIA lawsuit from @deportationdata.org, Minnesota is getting its first credible numbers on arrests during the federal government's surge here this winter. About 3,800 Minnesota residents were arrested. Most from Latin America (only 106 from Somalia). (1)
I refuse to grow numb to the gutter racism the president spews out of his mouth, this shit would have ended political careers for most of my life
Disgusting racism.
How busy/slow is msp today? Asking for a kid flying out in a few hours
Unknown friend, you have just reminded me to put leftovers away. Thank you!
Mpls friends, Mayor Frey wants to build a $38 million police training facility at a time when we are in crisis. Our hospitals, schools, public resources, small businesses and neighbors are in a state of emergency. Call your council members. Vote is next Tues.

Meme showing that the MN flag actually represents a loon with mouth wide emiting some sort of frosty energy beam

Yes, exactly! The historical research is so much intellectual fun! And I always end up going down alleys I hadn’t expected to find, often learning things that change the book quite dramatically. I would never want to give up that possibility
Some professors at the University of St. Thomas are doing a research project on the effects of the ICE occupation on Twin Cities parents. They're looking for parents who are US citizens, who live in the Twin Cities metro area, and who have kids ages 5-10.

The affordability President just caused the fastest gas price spike in years, and the jobs President just lost 92,000 jobs in February. Are we winning yet?

Thank you for giving me a good laugh today
Only 2 months into 2026 and the president has achieved so much. Waging war on Venezuela, Minnesota, and Iran, while covering up his alleged role in a child rape syndicate, is a lot.
It’s time to pass Pause Evictions, Save Lives in Minneapolis. Currently, renters receive a 30-day notice prior to a landlord filing an eviction.
This ordinance would temporarily expand this timeline to 60 days through August 30, 2026.
The first vote is at Committee of the Whole on Tuesday. 1/
All this, yes
This. Right here. This.
It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.
They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.
so fun fact: recently during the fraud investigations being redone by this season’s feds, MN’s rate of medicaid/medicare fraud was well below the national average
nationally, it’s ≈ 6% each year; in minnesota it’s like ≈ 2.5%
we know this is vindictive at this point
It seems the racist DHS rampage in MN may be resulting in the dismissal of cases that actually should be prosecuted. Dismissing charges involving a gun because the system was overwhelmed by unconstitutional seizures of people with brown skin... doesn't sound like law and order to me.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M, to detain 4k people of whom only 30 were accused of violent crimes.
$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Plus two citizens murdered.
