Since my phone is blowing up, I guess the news has officially dropped.

Queen Mona now has a court jester. A few of you may recognize him.

Because these international grocers need your support now more than ever, especially during these times, here’s a guide to the international grocers of the Twin Cities that I wrote for @racketmn.com: racketmn.com/guide-intern...
A Guide to the International Grocers of the Twin Cities - Racket
The Twin Cities is home to over 40 international grocers, and they deserve your dollars, too.

So back in the 1800's MN had a law banning dancing, when the state repealed, cities copied it into their ordinances.

I don't have the verbage anymore (repealed it in 24(?)) but I remember a mistake in my city copying it (dropped a period(?)) that required HVAC systems to be of "high moral standing"

at the current pace the seattle seahawks will defeat the san francisco 49ers by a score of 1932-0

Notable that Phee is the only Minnesota sports figure on this list
We asked over 100 people in sports which leaders they most admire.

For this list, leaders had to be an active coach, player or executive in 2025.

...and on a side note, it is 13 degrees in Minneapolis and the historical average for January 17th is 14, so this is a completely average day. Anyone who lives here wouldn't be fazed by this if they really wanted to go out, so "cold will likely keep turnout low" is absolutely false.
And that's really it, in a nutshell.

From a Minnesotan: a hearty HELL NO to this. This man is a professional political consultant in DC raising $$ for a political party. There are endless better places to donate to actually help people here suffering and fighting against this nazi invasion. Here’s a start:

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I keep thinking about the toxic, pervasive mythology of "rugged individualism" as a driving force in American culture, and how the collective efforts in the Twin Cities right now are proof that the only way through hard times is together, as a community.

The state DFL doesn’t even give the Minneapolis DFL money to host conventions and then overturns the convention results when they don’t like it 🤯🤯🤯 help me understand how this fundraiser helps me and my neighbors who are being deported or shot in the face
So friends, I launched a campaign to raise money for the Democratic Party of Minnesota (@dfl.org) to help them combat ICE's lawless assault. MN Dem Party Chair Richard Carlbom joined me for the kickoff. Learn more, donate, and let's rally for the courageous people of Minnesota, together! 👇

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

there is no impeachment for senators but i am dead serious when i say the senate should start expulsion proceedings on him
Just got this forwarded. Here are the talking points Schumer's team just emailed out to their allies TODAY - this afternoon.

The words "Minnesota" or "ICE" don't appear anywhere here.

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.

That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

Local parents groups asking if adults can ride school buses to help protect children from ICE after a special ed bus got stopped this morning. Like a Dirty Harry movie except the villain in the federal government.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats
