Someone once asked me "what's the most MN thing you do" and I said "shovel my neighbor's driveway then run away when I see them turn their porch light on so they won't know it was me"
I love my neighbors💜

Great work out there today, Minneapolis! You ran those Nazi ICE kidnappers back to their base and out to the suburbs with a line of cars honking at them the whole way.

We encountered an ICE immigration enforcement action on Park Ave. in Minneapolis today. When my colleague Ben Hovland and I arrived there were only a couple observers, but there were dozens blowing whistles by the time ICE agents left without making an arrest.

People are struggling. I want us to think about how we're going to help each other hang in there this winter. How are you going to support your friends, co-strugglers, and community as they push through this moment? How can you help people muddle through, materially and/or emotionally?

Imagine a mayoral administration that did real community engagement instead of putting out push-polls designed to validate/rubberstamp/justify what they've already decided to do with communal spaces.

Grateful for the community orgs picking up Mayor Gentri-Frey's slack.

I don't like Karoline Leavitt either, but the criticism people have of her is often misogynistic & I want better.

When I hear her talk, I feel angry & disgusted and I long for honesty, integrity, humility, and compassion. She doesn't meet those needs & I resent her presence on the world stage.
