Every stitch tells a story of love, community, and remembrance. Volunteers across MN created the "Stolen Neighbors Quilt" with 11,000 squares to honor Minnesotans detained by ICE. Each fabric square represents a neighbor, a family member, and a life impacted by deportation. We stand for Justice!

The bat died and was sent for rabies testing. This bat tested positive for
rabies.
A woman was seen crouching by the bat and putting it into a bag. She was described as a 25-to-30-year-old white woman, about 5'5", with curly brown hair and a curly-haired golden retriever-like dog. If this was you, please call 911 and ask to be connected to Animal Care & Control.
Bites from bats are tiny, may be painless, and may not leave a mark. An person who had physical contact or touched this bat should talk with health care provider this weekend for assessment. During the week, Minnesota Department of Health can also provide rabies assessments at 651-201-5414.
If vou did not touch or have any contact with the bat, you have no risk of rabies and do not need shots.

there's been, i think, more media about the fair than in previous years. At least, it feels that way. And I think a lot of that has to be down to the fact that 2026 has been really fucking hard and Minnesotans really want to just do something that feels very Minnesotan.

ICE OUT. Inspired by Picasso's Guernica. ~ A loon rises from the chaos and destruction. Liam with his blue bunny hat. Renee Good and Alex Pretti speaking in morse code: "I'm not mad at you", "Are you okay?" ~ Details in ALT description. Grain art, Minnesota State Fair. Artist: Jennifer Nelson.

Grain art, Minnesota State Fair ~ a loon rises from the chaos and destruction of an attack. Sign reads: ICE OUT. Artist Jennifer Nelson: "My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti's mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: 'I'm not mad at you,' and 'Are you okay?'
