can’t stop thinking about my 4DX experience. so funny to be like, “we gotta get people back to the movie theater! pay $35 and we’ll spray you with water and spill your popcorn and kick the back of your seat during tense scenes!”

saw this as the filmmakers intended: in 4DX, spilling my beverage on my lap
apologies to my neighbors who heard me discussing my movie plans by yelling "WE'RE GOING TO THE BONE TEMPLE, BABY" into my phone

favorite thing about traitors is that no matter what someone's job is they're convinced it makes them good at the game. "i'm great at sniffing out traitors because i'm a chef/football player/comedian"

We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.
The frigid Twin Cities temperatures will hurt the homeless; so do not gloat about the impact on ICE without also stepping up here:
If you're still able to help Minnesota, @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social is always accepting donations. $10 buys a pack of handwarmers. If you were given Amazon gift cards this year for Christmas, you can shop their Amazon wishlist: linktr.ee/sanctuarysup...

relatedly please send funds to @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social. ICE might suffer in this weather but our unhoused neighbors definitely will without support!!!!
It’ll be dangerously cold this weekend in the Twin Cities. Windchills will reach -20°. With how violently ICE is grabbing people, they might not be dressed for the weather, especially if ICE keeps dumping people miles from their home or car without their phone. Frostbite hits quickly at these temps.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.
Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.
BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

The thing about this is that, also, we don’t know what we’re doing. Why are the other dads and I assessing possible threats on the street. We don’t know how to do that. We are just making shit up on the back of a napkin except the stakes are “the government invades a daycare”
Just another morning in the Twin Cities, keeping my eyes on the preschool parent signal chat to make sure none of my child’s classmates, their parents, or their teachers were kidnapped by the federal government in front of the school.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.
