There is something so hopeful about planting a tree! Really grateful that the city of Minneapolis makes them available quite inexpensively (our new elm was $30!).

The part of Trump's brain that still functions at peak efficiency is the part that calculates what crimes he can get away with. He's banning CNN and getting away with it. He's running tax-funded campaign ads and getting away with it. His ability to exploit institutions' weak spots is undiminished.

This is all going to be very ugly. As much as any of us can critique the U, it’s in a bad situation. It’s going to be a rough unknown number of years until things can be stable again.

Does anyone know how I could get one of these yard signs? I’m not seeing it on the LWV website.

Anyway, here’s a section that will cut you to your core. Odds are 1-2% of the local Latino population has been deported & one community member thinks 25% have left.
“We lost a lot of our community,” said Rudy Trujillo, owner of accounting firm Trujillo Service at 420 E. Lake St., whose clients are mostly Latino immigrants.
He estimates that one in four Latinos left the Twin Cities, either by self-deportation or moving to another state.
No hard data is yet available. About 235,000 Hispanic people lived in the seven-county metro area in 2024, according to census data. The 5,000th detainee (most detainees were of Latin-American descent) was flown out of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in August, Minnesota Reformer reports.

It is just after 10:30 a.m. in Minnesota on a Friday. Have you had breakfast or at least a good snack? Are you drinking enough water? If you had morning meds or other stuff to take did you do that? Are you wearing sunscreen? Take care of yourselves. <3 Hang in there, folks. Fuck ICE.
