Minneapolis, go look at the moon

Do y’all remember way back when there was a real debate over bear vs man?

WHEW.

We were right then.
We’ve been right the whole time.

Send in the bears.

Some things are (very) dark.

But I saw hundreds of neighbors at our DFL sd51 convention today. I saw Michael Howard (state rep) and Omar Fateh (mayor in my heart) hug and chat. I heard Peggy Flanagan speak. I collaborated with neighbors on building a better MN.

Some things are good.

"AI is garbage, bro, it gives you wrong answers like half the time and the other half the time makes you stupid."

Overheard a middle schooler chastising a fellow student for suggesting they use AI. Whole middle school herd started mocking the AI kid.

...We need to let these kids at the tech bros.

This morning, a neighbor was kidnapped by ICE in an apartment parking lot near the East Phillips Park Cultural & Community Center. My office is actively seeking answers.

The presence of ICE and federal agents in our community causes fear, pain, and family separation. 1/

Another death in ICE custody.

I am 40 and I am geeked out.

This is out our upstairs window.

I have twin 3 year olds.

It’s been a VERY exciting day.

Two chained women are inspected before being loaded onto today's ICE Air flight at MSP.

Empty shackles, returning from El Paso, will be brought to Whipple.

The number of people loaded here this week, 67, is the highest since Feb 7-13, when Homan announced the end of Metro Surge.

If you are worried your town is next - start organizing now. Make connections.

Talk with five neighbors.

Start those signal groups for your school or neighborhood.

And know that every bit of organizing you do now will pay off tenfold when ICE comes to your community.

2/2

Split screen of a tattered sweatshirt on top labeled “before” and a repaired sweatshirt on bottom labeled “after”. In between is the snarky text “AI can’t do this”

Whole screen tattered sweatshirt with text “it can’t wear a sweatshirt down to show how loved it is”

Whole screen repaired sweatshirt with new cuffs and elbow patches and darning and text land it can’t repair it to show love either” in the corner it says “na na na boo boo”

AI can’t mend. #aiCantDoThis

My child regularly bursts into tears because his blankies are too warm. The fastest way back to calm is to put them in the freezer for a few minutes.

Awoooooooooooooooooooooo

Has anyone here just started over and gotten a new phone number to escape the spam?

Happy welcome-people-into-the-resistance-because-everyone-is-needed day to those who celebrate.

My kids aren’t too sure about lots of people, but we read a book and talked about it and they do want everyone to be safe so agree it’s important to go.

The winner is… Jan!

Thank you to everyone who is helping and everyone who is finding a way to stand up and with their communities. ❤️

Post office lost 9 billion last year. They want to cut services.

Trump is asking Congress for 200 billion for a war he started on his own and none of us want.

What’s more useful to you? Post office or killing children? 🤬

Fuck ICE

“No deporting US citizens” is a CONCESSION???

🚨 IT'S ELECTION DAY 🚨
This is it. Today decides everything.

Let's make it count: Knock doors, make calls, talk to your friends, and make sure everyone you know in IL-09 makes their voice heard!

Truth and reconciliation or gtfo

Bright green and dark blue mittens. Opposite colors. One has green thumb and tip, other has blue thumb and tip. Pattern is rhombuses and on the right mitten it says F Ice, and the left says Bye.

Back of the mittens. No text, just a pretty pattern of rhombi.

With one hand, you wave the traditional Minneapolis greeting “F*** Ice” and with the other, you wave them “Bye” as they GTFO.

Want these? Knit by me? Donate to rent funds and email me a receipt. Every $5 is an entry. Drawing is 3/22.
