I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this.
I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it.
I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.
The child in me will never not laugh at a Cookie Monster bit

Axios had a story today about how hard Minnesota’s economy is being hit and how slow the recovery could be. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to say that if you want to support the Twin Cities, you should plan a visit for this summer, spend some money here, & see how amazing it is for yourself.
Watching Best in Show, which I haven’t watched in like 20 years. O’Hara and Levy are so great together.
Oof!
I thought Red Dawn when I saw this outside my window.
To get a job as a CEO of a transit agency you should either have been a transit reliance rider or have been a bus driver.
Loring is the best park for bird watching
Melissa Hortman was only 55 years old. She had a lot more to do. It is so bitter and so sad that her life was taken - assassinated for fighting for what she believed in.
It will now be up to us to carry on these fights.
It sounded like the same car. A few days earlier, I saw someone who drove around several cars and ran a red at 42nd and Nicollet, going up the hill and heading west. That's already a problematic intersection.
We were on our way to Reverie after 5 p.m. yesterday and saw someone driving erratically up Park. They ran two red lights and were zig-zagging back and forth across all lanes.
It's probably a nostalgic MN thing. DQ was a big deal if you grew up here, especially in the 80s and 90s.
This! It's the best DQ in the metro
What have been your favorite routes?
Charlotte furrowed her brow. "But people are supposed to be able to speak up," she said. She thought of the books she had read about the Civil Rights Movement, about women fighting for the right to vote, about workers standing together to demand fair pay.
Charlotte shuddered. She hated shots, but she hated the idea of Ruby being in the hospital even more.
One day after school, Charlotte’s mother came home looking more worried than ever. “They just passed another law,” she said, sinking into a chair. “Some people aren’t allowed to protest anymore.”
Rumors flew that she had been taken to the hospital. "It’s because people stopped getting vaccinated," her older brother, Lucas, explained at dinner. "There used to be laws about it, but now some states changed the rules. And now look—measles everywhere."
Meanwhile, the town was abuzz with another problem: measles. Signs were taped to the school doors, warning students to wash their hands and stay home if they felt sick. Charlotte’s friend, Ruby, had been absent all week.
Charlotte bit her lip. It was hard enough when her dad lost his job at the factory last month—now even simple things like milk were more expensive.
At school, Mrs. Alvarez tried to explain. "Tariffs are like taxes on things we get from other countries," she said, drawing a diagram on the whiteboard. "When the government raises tariffs, the cost of goods goes up."
"Tariffs," her mother muttered under her breath as she turned the car toward home. Charlotte didn’t know much about tariffs, but she knew they made things more expensive—and harder to find.
