Everyone who runs for office anywhere in Minnesota for the next decade should be asked, “What did you, personally, do fight ICE and protect your neighbors?”

one of my favorite things about the winter olympics is when a skier or snowboarder blows my mind with athletic feats of daring that would literally kill regular folks. and then they remove their mask and are ALSO the Most Beautiful Person Alive

Racket rules
my colleagues at @racketmn.com are raising funds for a local mom who needs help with rent. the total is $4,785—we’re trying to raise $4,000 as a four-person newsroom.

i believe racket readers can do it this weekend!!!

V: @em-cassel

please share widely and donate if you can!

tomorrow i would really like to challenge a few folks with larger followings than me to adopt a rent and raise it in one day.

my little group chat and my followers have paid like 70 families rents in the past four days. i believe that some of y’all could help us keep one family housed.

Yeah I don't think they're understanding that underneath the main thing of protecting our neighbors there is a STRONG undercurrent of stubbornness fueling a lot of us.

Fuck these clowns, we're gonna win.
Why would I stop protecting my neighbors now? You’ve already fucked up my life a ton, now I gotta see this shit through.

We know Homan is a liar fronting liars to lull us into letting them terrorize innocent people, but now he’s telescoping his timeline to a couple of weeks at the price of …Frey & Walz sending a sternly worded letter to us all? At least he’s negotiating with himself … kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Chris Finch on TJ Shannon's recovery:

"I don't have a specific date. This week is huge for him, he's looking to get into the live stuff right now. He's close, but he's not that close.

On a role for TJ:
"There's still a role there for these guys. We'll have to see how he comes back."

This is a great observation. I hadn't been able to put my finger on this line but, yes, this is it. There are for sure prominent Dems who are to the left of Spanberger who have zero fight in them, and I'll take one Spanberger over ten of them.
VA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

The city has spent ~$5M above budget in the past month to deal with the occupation, with roughly $130k per day going to MPD overtime. So when mod CMs/the mayor tell you that we can’t afford rent relief, they’re telling you that they prefer to spend your tax dollars on this instead.
Happening Now: 20+ law enforcement vehicles, including a Minneapolis Police SWAT Bearcat, are staged on SE Beacon St as a noise demo has started at the Graduate Hotel. This is the 4th noise demo at the Graduate and one of multiple noise demos tonight outside hotels housing ICE agents in Minneapolis.
