Hyping what makes MN so great.
Peak post-work destress: lying on the floor and listening to @yourewrongabout.bsky.social talk about the JFK assassination.

Meet Minneapolis is looking to commission a local artist or designer to create an illustrated cycling map of Minneapolis!

I'm hoping to see some unique visual languages and cartographic ideas come out of this.

The Trump administration is trying to gut one of the strongest laws protecting tribal sacred sites, burial grounds, and ancestral lands.

Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act has worked since 1966.

Now a handpicked Council voted to rewrite it..in one week.

Here's what at stake.👇

I don’t understand how people can run for office knowing they have insane baggage and/or crimes.

Like I spent the entire campaign expecting AIPAC to somehow dig up my middle school livejournal fanfic account. I prepared my family for it. I’m still amazed it didn’t happen.

Honestly a little surprised that anyone in the administration is smart enough to know anything about the Avignon Papacy….
Always exciting to see the Avignon Papacy in the news

Left my car for some repairs and just noticed they changed my radio station from @mprnews.org to a different frequency that is just static. Trying and failing not to feel offended/judge them so hard.

Screw it. It is Spring Break here at the U and I've finally done something I have always wanted to do: count all the owls at Walter Library. For the first time since the library was renovated in 2002, here is a complete count of all the owls carved, chiseled, and sculpted into the library: 1,167!

You can get details from this thread without watching any video
Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

It’s no comfort, but the official DHS line being “he can be killed by masked agents of the state because he had a legal gun” is such an interesting new frontier in how Trump has made the conservative movement very publicly and embarrassingly abandon every principal it once claimed.

We are calling our senators right now and demanding that they vote no on the omnibus with DHS funding

We are explicitly mentioning ICE’s murder in cold blood of a man on the streets of Minneapolis this morning

Experiencing a legal observer getting detained in real time, even just over audio, is a lot.

The frigid Twin Cities temperatures will hurt the homeless; so do not gloat about the impact on ICE without also stepping up here:

never forget: you're dealing with the state that captured a confederate flag during the american civil war and has been saying "oh you want it back? come get it then lol" ever since
Folks, if you know any Minnesotan, you'll know that many of us will bring up Minnesota and Minnesota things at every possible opportunity. If we manage to ride out military occupation, we're going to be absolutely insufferable for the next 20 years. Think about what you're risking here.

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”

it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.
