Ty! We're well & enjoying all of snuggles w/ Hans.🥰
How we design streets determines what's possible re: our relationship to outdoors, community, & health.
Thanks to @minneapolismn.gov for protected bike lanes on 26th & 28th Streets that made this trip feel safe & therefore a real option. 1/3
Did you know that our streets could be safer just by placing traffic signals on the near side of an intersection?
Countries around the world with safer streets use this strategy. we should do it here too!
This week, a House colleague claimed that saying, “ICE is kidnapping people,” is outrageous, untruthful rhetoric.
How is taking of a 16 y.o., shipping him out of state, and then barring him from disclosing his location not kidnapping?!
And this is just one example of SO many.
thousands marching through little earth in minneapolis right now to say no more missing and murdered indigenous relatives
Dear Target, your sales are ⬇️ not for lack of in-store staff. Ppl are boycotting you b/c you've abandoned our community. It is reasonable to ask for store policies that protect workers & customers from ICE & for continued pursuit of diversity, equity, & inclusion. www.startribune.com/target-micha...

Today at Lake MakaSka, #Minneapolis. The inbound flight approach to MSP Airport includes the southern end of the lake. So flights coming in at dusk would have a clear view.
The freedom of the press is in the Constitution's Bill of Rights for a reason - to daylight the truth and provide accountability.
The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are unacceptable. It's another lawless intimidation tactic by the Trump Administration. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

In case you are unaware:
-it’s not illegal to have a group chat
-it’s not illegal to film anyone in public (and it’s important, bc otherwise people just disappear)
-it’s not illegal to tell people when you see masked officers
-it’s not illegal to collect and distribute food
ICE must leave MN.
Things we could do in MN with the $18 million a week it costs taxpayers to fund Operation Metro Surge:
- Provide Medicaid coverage for 5,000 Minnesota children
- Fund a full week of SNAP benefits for every eligible Minnesotan
- Cover the annual salaries of 225 school mental health professionals
Chicago, thank you for braving the snow & cold to stand with us ❤️
I've seen similar images too from Boston, Salt Lake City, & countless other places across the US. This solidarity matters so much. The power of the people is what will stop the illegal & immoral actions by the Trump administration.

Neighbors at block level and in parks across Minneapolis are grieving loss of Alex Pretti. We honor his life and his courage in supporting our community. We offer our sadness and sympathies to his loved ones and our indignant anger at ICE’s unnecessary violence that took his life.
A man is dead in Whittier at the hands of ICE.
Another senseless death on Mpls streets.
How is ICE’s presence making us safer?
It’s beyond time for them to leave. #ICEOUT

National media: Please stop describing what’s happening in Minneapolis as “protests.” There has been a modest, sustained protest outside the Whipple federal building, about 10 miles from downtown, but... 1/3

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.
The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
Two days after an ICE agent killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, a federal agent asked an observer, "Have y'all not learned?" Her phone was taken and she was briefly detained.
Two days after that, another federal agent said, “You did not learn from what just happened” to a different observer.
A flyer from the West Bank business association. Text reads: WEST *BANK MPLS Community Notice - Cedar-Riverside | Saturday, January 17 Community leaders in Cedar-Riverside, including elected officials, rapid response teams, faith leaders, community organizations, and residents, are sharing the following information to ensure safety and clarity this weekend. We have been made aware that a small group of racist and anti-Muslim agitators may attempt to come into the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood on Saturday, January 17. Their intention appears to be to provoke disruption and create fear. Our community will not be drawn into that. To support safety and stability, trained community patrollers wearing yellow vests, faith leaders wearing orange vests, and local law enforcement, including the Sheriff's Office and the Minneapolis Police Department, will be present to monitor and respond to any potential concerns. Guidance for Cedar-Riverside Community Members • Do not be afraid • Go about your day as usual. • If you see protest activity or offensive behavior, do not engage, argue, confront, or respond • Avoid conversations with strangers, individuals recording video, or members of the media. • If you have concerns or feel unsafe, approach a community patroller or call 911. Guidance for Those Outside the Community No protest activity is needed, welcomed, or appropriate inside Cedar-Riverside. • If you wish to support the community, please coordinate with your local neighborhood rapid response network rather than coming into the area. Cedar-Riverside is strong, resilient, and united. We look out for one another, and we continue keeping our community safe together.
Please read and share with anyone who might be planning on counterprotesting in Cedar-Riverside this weekend

WHY are news stations reading DHS statements out loud as if they have ANY credibility at all? They literally murdered a woman in cold blood LAST WEEK and are still lying about what happened, even though we can see what happened. That any credibility would be given to their statement is insane
Tell me how these are not the words of a wannabe Gestapo.
Truth: the United States is a country of laws and no one has full immunity from accountability.
OH NO! I ACCIDENTALLY COLLABORATED WITH ICE. WHEN WE DONT SLOW DOWN AND USE SALUTE* TO VERIFY INFORMATION, WE SPREAD FEAR IN OUR COMMUNITY, CAUSING UNDUE STRESS, WORK RELATED ISSUES, FAMILY STRAIN AND MORE IN AN ALREADY STRESSFUL TIME. WE DONT WANT ICE AROUND, WE WANT DUE DILIGENCE DURING A POTENTIAL SIGHTING, WHICH INCLUDES ON THE GROUND VERIFICATION. SIZE: HOW MANY AGENTS/ OFFICERS? ACTIVITY: WHAT SPECIFICALLY ARE THE AGENTS DOING? LOCATION: GIVE AN EXACT ADDRESS OR INTERSECTION UNIT(S): WHAT LETTERS, DETAILS, OR PATCHES ARE VISIBLE ON THE UNIFORMS/JACKETS/VESTS/VEHICLES? TIME: WHAT PRECISE TIME DID YOU WITNESS THIS? THIS IN FO SHOULD BE SHARED QUICKLY. EQUIPMENT: WHAT DID AGENTS HAVE WITH THEM? EX: WEAPONS, FLEXICUFFS, DOGS, DOOR BREAKERS, VANS, ETC
