Since the Mayor refuses to do his job, the job he said he wanted, then I'm glad you're willing to do it for him.

WHY?

Carol D @carol-sompls.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
For a certain class of parents, I think kids are just another "right" accessory. When children are just a thing that's acquired like everything else, why not have a machine read to that thing?

Our choir hosted a Somali activist last night who told of being approached at Aldi by a smiling white woman who leaned in and said "enjoy it while it lasts." This was during Metro Surge. She said the community is shattered by ongoing fear and mental health is a huge need. How can we help?

It kills me that her initial response was being embarrassed, like she did something wrong. What a fucked up world.

If you don't yet recognize that ICE is a federal militia being unleashed on all of us, every citizen of the US, I don't know what else to say to you.

Okay I've seen at least 2 posts today that describe Jim Bakker as "having an affair with his secretary" or "getting caught banging his secretary" and just...no. He got caught paying her off because he and another preacher *violently raped her*. That isn't an affair, or a simple "sex scandal".

When my kids were young, I walked them past Soldiers on Lake and point out the graves of kids, most of them early 1900s. There are quite a few. I'm guessing Spanish flu pandemic, but who knows? I used it as "this is why we get shots."

Minneapolis family shares story of ‘violent’ ICE detainment and 10 months of separation
About 3,700 people were arrested by federal law enforcement in Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge. For one family, the resulting family separation has caused financial and emotional stress.

Carol D @carol-sompls.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Absolutely not. I am stunned that she hasn't been forced from office. I read the complaint and if it's found to be true, she should be prosecuted, IMO.

Island of Terror, 1966, featuring flying creatures that suck your bones out of your body with an elephant trunk appendage. Scared my brother and me so much we couldn't get off the bed in our parent's bedroom where we watched it. For hours.

I thought about that community a lot during Metro Surge, and how they were impacted. To turn around after this past winter and say "progress" while their jobs are stolen by billionaires is not the kind of leadership I want or the city I want to live in.

If it was slippery, they helped me from the car to the door. When they were driving, every one of them asked me what happened and some shared stories of women in their families who had broken limbs, what their healing was like. They all wished me well, dozens of them.

Carol D @carol-sompls.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Anti, Anti. When I broke my ankle a few years ago, I couldn't drive. I relied on lyft drivers who were usually Somali or East African men. Every one of them, when they saw me on crutches in the winter, helped me in and out of the car and waited and watched me get into the house.

Carol D @carol-sompls.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
This plan will kill public schools in Minneapolis and deepen the achievement gap. It's devastating.
