Our new album is out today! A sincere request to help spread the word!
I had the link a while ago (one of my 50 open tabs I closed one day), but was barely on the app and put it off. I’d still be interested in filling out the form, living across the river now, but south Minneapolis before the move. Again, super appreciate you taking the time to reply and help
Thank you! I haven’t really gotten the hang of Blue Sky, embarrassing to admit as a millennial, so I appreciate the help!
I had figured I was too late to join the MSP feed, is this my chance to be invited?
Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong: "Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. “Pastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge. The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."
Nekima on the Target boycott.
rep angie craig, running for US senate, spoke to UMN student dems in last night and finally had to address her vote in favor of the laken riley act! she was asked if she regretted it, or if her opinion had changed, and she said NO
even after all the terror ICE brought to MN!
Bill Guerin @usahockey.bsky.social GM Bill Guerin invited Patel into the locker room. In doing so he spit all over the people of the Twin Cities who pay his salary with the MN Wild. Let them know how disgusting they are: 651 602 6009, 651 602 6000
We have hit our goal!
Unfortunately there are 4 other families on their block alone that also need help. The second family needs $1650 so I will keep applying donations toward their rent as well.
help pay rent for people in need in Minneapolis!
This is incredibly powerful testimony.
Ms. Rahman is very tough and clear and was treated horribly.
Warning: I can't watch it without tears of rage.

Yesterday, full of beauty.
Today, another absolute horror
Feds killed a guy who worked as a nurse at local VA hospital
As after Good's killing, they're again engaged in a cover up
Setting 1000s of over-armed, over-armored, masked secret police loose makes us less safe & less free

This is CRITICAL. I know you’re all putting your back into mutual aid & a thousand other great things, but if there’s anything left here, so many folks depend on these front-line lawyers right now.
White text on a black background reads: “There is still a great need! Many businesses are choosing not to open as their employees and customers are staying home. And with this weekly being well below freezing, our unsheltered folks need hot food and warm places. Please keep giving!
