Minneapolis, nonsense, higher ed, tech, genealogy, and Minnesota in general. PhD in education. Have been called “secretly nice.” Saved a child care center, ran a tech conference. I make excellent pierogi and strudel.
I didn’t know I needed to fake happiness for my families, a group of other weirdos who don’t fake happiness.

They’d probably direct you to the stolen auto desk of the MPD, but it’s not a bad question to ask 311 about reporting if you have spare time.

It’s illegal. Also makes me wonder if the plates are stolen/used willingly from someone else’s car.

Hell, we have to include anyone who isn’t naturalized in that bucket since the administration literally stopped people from taking the oath of citizenship—a ceremonial but required last step! Their papers can be perfect, but they are making progress in their “all immigrants are illegal” frame.

*delegitimize. Man, I don’t know if it’s autocorrect or me. But my brain is not working well with words today.

Yep. It’s just awful all around. Deeply shameful.

Anyway. I hate all of this. I hate feeling helpless because I have a ton of things taking up all my time and energy that are important and exhausting but not for sharing. I’m glad to see so many Minnesotans stepping up.

But just don’t let the administration get in your head with tiered rights.

…no one should be treated this way regardless of immigration status. It’s unconstitutional, they’re flattening the meaning of “immigrant” to something that is inherently criminal (regardless of facts) and the act of shackling, depriving all of their rights, etc is unacceptable for everyone.

Ah yes, courtroom battles. Definitely that long-term view will mitigate the destruction to people’s lives in the immediate term and is the only strategy that should be employed.

*not anger at the children, anger about the children. I need a copy editor.

Moving an email account is as time intensive as moving to a new house. The number of logins tied to your email alone…

For the most part, I don’t either! It galls me that fellow descendants of immigrants from the late 1800s/early 1900s act like they do. Miller, Trump, Hegseth, Noem, etc etc. It is infuriating that people whose upbringing was likely infused with the immigration story of their family act this way.

Did I angrily make a barebones tree of his family one night several months ago to see when his family got here? Sadly, yes, I couldn’t help myself.

His family goes back to the 1800s in Goodhue County.

Despite hatred of immigrants being terribly important to this administration and Pete, the vast majority of his family didn’t arrive in the US until after the Civil War.

Given the quality of statewide MN GOP candidates, I’m sure there are far better arguments against his fitness for the office he seeks.
