Yesterday, I helped a friend fill out their mail in ballot, both as a nerd (who are these candidates) and as a witness. Asking me for help with your ballot choices is my own unique love language.

This is a thread about an all-day academic conference of early research findings about the effects of Operation Metro Surge. Kind of harrowing to seeing the damage of the federal government’s combination ethnic cleansing/ideological terror campaign laid out like this.

Our parks are the jewels of the city. They must be protected.
Funding for our parks and the very financial foundation of Minneapolis are jeopardized because police spending is out of control. To avoid a reduction in our credit rating and future park service reductions the Mayor and City Council must take action to rein in spending.
Please read and share.

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies.
May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism.
This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs.
Vaccinate your pets please.

Finally went to Mestiizo, the whole kitchen is gluten free. I can order ANYTHING from the menu and not be poisoned by wheat Cross contamination. Shrimp tempura... SHRIMP TEMPURA TACO and sushi roll. 😍

The fastest people to respond when a neighbor needs help, are the actual neighbors. Get constitutional observer training and get to know your neighbors. "We keep us safe"
Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help.
For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes.
ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.

My dogs are used to getting treats right now so they are waiting intently for the "GOOD BOYY, QUIET, Good doggie!!!", And treats and scratches, the flip side to this is that everyone in the house except me sleeps through the tornado/storm sirens that have happened at night. 😂

I saw an older white dude in a bar in CD 6 (long story) and he had a screen printed ICE out shirt. I was mesmerized. I approached him before leaving, "i like your shirt, can i give you something?" He said yes, he seemed amused and I gave him my Flanagan for u.s. senate button. He gladly took it!

I know it's been said before, but if you're struggling with the *everything*, consider making something. It won't make the everything go away, but you'll feel good about what you made, and that one thing will be far more good than the evil fuckwits have ever produced in their lives.

Dolly Parton supported so many important causes, among them donating a million dollars to COVID vaccine research early in the pandemic, which saved millions of lives. She will always be remembered as a champion of the people.

I keep thinking about how people are going THROUGH IT. Everyone. It’s so important to have compassion for ourselves AND — crucially — each other.

Will not forget.
“The snow samples from the winter showed elevated levels of lead and chromium in particular around major tear gas use sites, Walker said. That includes near the site where Pretti was shot and killed, and outside the Whipple federal building where protests lasted for weeks.”
What did a winter of tear gas leave in Minneapolis soil? U of M researchers are trying to find out.
The study aims to determine whether chemical munitions used by federal agents left contaminants in neighborhood gardens and soil.

Take it from Kat: now is the time to become the most vocal you have ever been about trans people belonging in sports. You need to tell your mom and dad, your friends in white bear, your cousins in perham. If you are cis, this is how you will help.
I have been predicting for a while that this would be a significant topic on the campaign trail in MN this year; the primary results make it more likely. I haven’t seen direct ads yet, but right-wing ecosystem has long chased our LTG on it and Demuth has big dollars from an anti-trans ballot funder.
