How do you explain ICE raids to children? @setharichardson.bsky.social reports on how Minnesota parents are struggling to protect their kids from the trauma of ICE’s occupation, while teachers face half-empty classrooms as students stay home for fear of being detained.

Goodbye to Palmer’s: A Requiem for Minneapolis’s Weirdest and Wonderfullest Bar - Racket The landmark West Bank bar will close in 10 days. Here's why that happened—and what will be lost.

When you’re an unemployed journalist, you have a lot of time to spend at the bar. I decided to write for @racketmn.com about the best bar in the world, which won’t exist after next weekend, to try and capture what it means to those who love it most.
