Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.
I wish I would have taken a picture
On Park there is a safety improvements coming in 2027 sign that has been clearly hit by a car.
Okay this isn’t really happening anymore so I can tell you how l had “internal ICE sources”: the 3000 very stir-crazy ICE agents were all going wild on Minneapolis Tinder. Local girls would match with them and string them along for intel. They loved to brag about what they were doing all day
happy to be of service.
for just $8.99 you can preorder my book about the US government’s centuries-long effort to remove Indigenous children from their homes and communities.
it comes out in august, and I will guarantee that you’ll learn something, even though it’s for middle schoolers.
prairie smoke is my favorite
Sounds like carjacking near 48th/50th and Lyndale
Literally every emergency vehicle in the city
This is the Minneapolis equivalent of the swallows returning to Capistrano
After a 2 year hiatus, Our Streets says this year they're back to host the kind of Open Streets you know and love on Lyndale and Cedar.

nekima levy armstrong, previously arrested for her role in cities church (led by ICE agent) protest, shares a list of people arrested by federal agents today, including more journalists in addition to don lemon and georgia fort, calling for supporters to the federal courthouse in st paul at 1:30pm
I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this.
I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it.
I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.
The child in me will never not laugh at a Cookie Monster bit
Ian uses they them pronouns
Axios had a story today about how hard Minnesota’s economy is being hit and how slow the recovery could be. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to say that if you want to support the Twin Cities, you should plan a visit for this summer, spend some money here, & see how amazing it is for yourself.
Watching Best in Show, which I haven’t watched in like 20 years. O’Hara and Levy are so great together.
Oof!
I thought Red Dawn when I saw this outside my window.
To get a job as a CEO of a transit agency you should either have been a transit reliance rider or have been a bus driver.
Loring is the best park for bird watching
Melissa Hortman was only 55 years old. She had a lot more to do. It is so bitter and so sad that her life was taken - assassinated for fighting for what she believed in.
It will now be up to us to carry on these fights.
It sounded like the same car. A few days earlier, I saw someone who drove around several cars and ran a red at 42nd and Nicollet, going up the hill and heading west. That's already a problematic intersection.
We were on our way to Reverie after 5 p.m. yesterday and saw someone driving erratically up Park. They ran two red lights and were zig-zagging back and forth across all lanes.
It's probably a nostalgic MN thing. DQ was a big deal if you grew up here, especially in the 80s and 90s.
