They’re like NPCs from a DOS game with a period-appropriate pathfinding algorithm, no wonder they need 3,000 of them to do anything at all

also explains why Tom Homan is so mad about the filter barricades
You guys this is what they do. They drive around in circles in parking lot. Ice has to be the most dip shit inefficient organization on the planet.

Thanks, friend. I had planned to go there to support with plate checks and then it became an hours-long celebration of community, love, and what we are building together in realtime.

NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning.

Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section.

brb legally changing my name to “uncommitted”
Our precinct's DFL gubernatorial straw poll results: 1 Erin Murphy, 1 "anyone but Amy," 14 Klobuchar and 20 uncommitted. This from a predictably centrist dfl stronghold. Big opening for someone.

Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

If the city won’t tolerate anti-ICE street barricades, I have a modest proposal: embrace pothole season
Federal occupation isn't stopping our mayors from doing the day to day work of keeping our cities running. Making sure garbage is picked up, ensuring the streets get plowed, and dressing up like a public works employee for the annual kickoff of pothole season.

ICE goons tried to go incognito for Mexican food in Minneapolis; local protesters made sure they left hungry and humiliated.

Can I ask, what is it that we want the next MN governor to actually do? The bar has been so substantially lowered I can only think of 3 things:

1. Combat the fraud narrative (as well as actual fraud)
2. Resist federal harm
3. Calmly and effectively manage state departments and workforce

What else?

The MSP feed is the beginning and end of my social media experience. I feel bad for places that don’t have a community of their own.
Seeing a mutual from outside the Twin Cities like a post and suddenly remembering that I actually follow people and have my own feed that isn't the "Minneapolis/St. Paul" feed.

Really scoring some anxiety/doomscroll own-goals on myself lately by simply forgetting to sometimes look at "Following." 😶
