Looking at the graphic, I swear there were more street-level businesses on the block City Center destroyed alone than in a very large swath of downtown Minneapolis today😭

If this isn’t enough evidence for Minnesota to (at least) keep doing the bare minimum and never legalize sports betting, I don’t know what is. So many lives ruined in this country due to the massive expansion of gambling in the past several years.

The Minnesota Lynx are SO fun and I love them, THE END! Lol, truly though it’s once again a pure and unadulterated joy to experience their games—yes, even when it’s a bit stressful! #GOLYNX

Congrats to the amazing KAT! (And, begrudgingly, the Knicks!) Anyway, his cousin cut my hair in North Carolina a couple times and she talked about how much he genuinely loved living in MN and showed her around when she visited! All-around great person and he deserves every bit of this.

Minneapolis needs to do this so badly! Mpls 2040 plan + implementation did not do nearly enough to actually (zoning-wise) allow more small apartment/townhouse/etc buildings! And yes, St. Paul is currently the metro leader on this😄💚

Cannot believe how lucky I was for that to be my first-ever Lynx game!!💚One of the most beautifully-played games of basketball I’ve witnessed in person from Olivia Miles, and an overall exciting and intense contest! Love the Lynx!
A photo showing the aftermath of a winning Minnesota Lynx game! Looking down to the court from the upper part of the lower bowl, with the enormous jumbotron (scoreboard) hanging above the court! On the screen are some Lynx players and lynx WIN, and players and media are starting immediate postgame things on the court! The court and immediate seats are brightly lit and the rest of the crowd is bathed in shadow.

Really hope some reps/senators stop this: "America’s next major transportation bill could potentially strip railways of more than 80 percent of their federal funding — even as its first draft appears to promise Amtrak and other rail operators more money on paper, a top advocacy organization warned."

The level of condescension here! The self-centered perspective! Sounds like a “vehicular cyclist,” and I question how much they really ride. I‘m a confident rider, and yet, have in the past felt like I’m putting my life on the line to bike on Hennepin S, E Hennepin, Lyndale, Lake, University, etc.

Nia Coffey's heroics for the Lynx tonight are life-giving to all those of a roughly similar age who may dislike their generational compatriots being referred to constantly as the "old wily veterans" and similar! We're not done for yet! 😭

Kinda painful season-opening loss for the Lynx, but definitely see more potential than maybe I’d hoped, especially once Phee and Dorka both return! But man are we missing the size and also defensive skill of everyone we lost 😭I’m sure there will be second-guessing of draft decisions too but ah well

A view looking down to a brightly lit basketball court from the near-top bleeder seats of a multipurpose indoor sports arena and concert venue. In the top foreground, 6 banners are visible, showing retired numbers for the Lynx and one of their championships. The arena is still mostly empty and there is a giant scoreboard hanging above the court.

[extreme sarcasm voice] Do you think it’s possible that maybeee the Twins shouldn’t have traded away all their competent relief pitchers??! Do you think they could’ve mayyybe been a decent team over the course of 2026 if the Pohlads had invested even a moderate amount of $ in players?

G.H.Moore @ghmoore.bsky.social · 12/04/2026
I was *really* looking forward to the Lynx being able to run things back with most of their key players (I guessed BC would be gone; that's fine) & enjoy another fun season with their great team vibes & chemistry. Would've been a huge bright spot in 2026. Kinda feels like that's gone already?☹️

He truly rocks, and is yet another example of why the Trump regime hates MN & is so perplexed by white people supporting their neighbors! Because people like this white Scandinavian-descended dude in a Twins hat IN A RURAL AREA (!!) named Ivan Olson stood up and said NO! We care for people here!

This isn’t from a recent protest (No Kings Mpls in Oct 2025) and even THEN the college students were getting way more involved than they had been earlier in the year! I mean, are you gonna try to tell me anyone but a bunch of college dudes would have created this sign? 😅Lol. Students hate ICE/trump!
A graphic anti-Trump, anti-ICE protest sign with a rather great likeness of Donald Trump saying “SATAN I’m cumming,” as Satan, holding pitchfork in one hand, jerks trump off with the other hand. A pentagram is next to Satan, and next to the scene in small letters is written in scrawly sharpie handwriting “objects may appear larger than they actually are” with an arrow to the penis

If you care about housing issues at all, give this thread (if not the paper!) a read! Incredibly helpful in thinking about what's needed to get movement on price and access--a both/and approach where yes, zoning and related reforms occur, but affordable housing (of all types) is actively supported!

Just saw a room of 100+ mostly old & almost 100% white Minnesotans leap to their feet and applaud a law professor who, among several other points, proposed we ABOLISH ICE, give amnesty to all undocumented immigrants, repeal the Clinton-era IIRAIRA, end detention centers, etc! We are going to win!

Great to see an outside news outlet finally covering the impact on Wgtn, but it oddly fails to mention the father of 2 who was illegally abducted via racial profiling, the Latino citizen who was nearly taken on his way to work, or the recent 150+ person protest! Will link local coverage below!

Well Der Spiegel is telling it like it is: “brutal commander;” “The hate in the city towards the masked migrant hunters is nearly boundless.” Yes, they are nothing but evil goons literally hunting down any non-white person they see and they STILL need to ALL leave NOW!

Speechless; we’re into almost unbelievably symbolic biblical parable-like territory. The women SAVED THE ICE AGENT’s LIFE, despite having been detained, despite everything brutal that has happened to the people of MN. Morals, empathy, and care for others no matter who are a thing—unless you’re ICE.

There’s been much discourse on “why do they keep attacking MN/Minneapolis,” and this photo sums one reason up. We have a huge number of very “average” looking white people who welcome & stick up for their Muslim, immigrant, refugee, etc. neighbors! They hate us because we care about everyone!

Yes, & the various beautiful flavors of the Minnesota accent are *notoriously* hard to fake convincing & consistently, hence why I've laughed at most portrayals of our accent in movies and TV. It's usually so bad! You you can imagine the dudes in many of the videos calling into the KFAN line lol😂

Hello Bluesky, especially non-Minnesota ppl: If you have money to spare, a beloved co-worker of an old friend's mom was abducted by ICE 3 days ago, and immediately sent to El Paso. Please help if you can! (and yes he was abducted despite having valid work permit to 2030 & no criminal record...)

Please spread the truth!! From StarTrib, it was the man’s FAMILY who came outside of HIS HOUSE to defend him, they ran inside and he was shot in the process. the man had been chased by agents (with knows WHAT warrants) and he drove back to his house! there were children in the house!
Headline: Man’s family fought agents with shovels before agents shot man, sources say 

After a car chase involving federal agents on Interstate 94, a man crashed his car in front of his home in north Mpls, multiple sources with knowledge of the incident say.

The man’s family came out of the home and started fighting agents with shovels before an agent shot the subjext of the car chase in the lef. 

The Dept of Homeland Security said the agent fired “defensive shots.” 

“The attacked officer and subject are both in the hospital,” DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said.

Little did I know when I voted for Elliott Payne (now Council President) in 2021 that one day he'd be standing up for constituents during a violent, often-unconstitutional federal occupation of Ward 1 + the whole city. What a leader; a leader who I also wish didn't have to be leading in this way.

Truly, you cannot silence us, and Minnesotans have—to put it lightly—had it.
Two signs on someone’s back: One on the top that says “Minnesota fought racists in 1861–we’ll do it again,” and a second that says “The blood of Minnesota demands JUSTICE.”

You cannot silence Minnesotans! Minneapolis, Jan. 10, 2026
In the middle of large, tightly packed crowd of protestors, Minnesota’s beautiful flag flies. It is two shades of blue, one dark blue, in the rough shape of Minnesota, and the rest of the flag a lighter blue. An eight-pointed white star is in the center of the dark blue part of the flag. Under the flag is a sign that says “You cannot silence US!” Other flags (a Pride flag, upside-down American flags) are visible, along with a sign that says “all are welcome except ICE”
