Two chained women are inspected before being loaded onto today's ICE Air flight at MSP. Empty shackles, returning from El Paso, will be brought to Whipple. The number of people loaded here this week, 67, is the highest since Feb 7-13, when Homan announced the end of Metro Surge.

It’s Holocaust Remembrance Day. “Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.” This isn’t just history. It’s a warning. People are being targeted again. Silence didn’t save us then. It won’t now. Will you speak up? #NeverForget #SarahInspiresChange

A 5-year-old was arrested. ICE is using fake food flyers. Water cannons are being prepped for peaceful protestors in -20°. Minnesota is under siege. I wrote about what’s happening — and how to help. standwithminnesota.com #ICEOutOfMN #MutualAid open.substack.com/pub/sarahins...

As part of our mission to serve the community, Carver County Pride is donating to two local organizations. We know many in our community are facing hard times—especially LGBTQ+ folks and Black, Brown, and Indigenous neighbors. These donations are one way we can show up and help meet real needs.

What’s happening in Minnesota isn’t just a policy issue — it’s a humanity issue. I wrote about leadership, fear, silence, and what it means to actually show up right now. Whether you’re protesting or supporting from home, this moment needs all of us. 🔗 below #Minnesota #Leadership #ICE #HumanRights

Word of the year for 2026: radiate I want to radiate joy, courage, and truth. In my work, in justice spaces, in how I show up for my people. Not performative. Just fully present, fully me. Letting the light I’ve been building quietly… finally shine. What’s your word?

“This is not the end of me, this is the beginning…” That line from Andy Grammer’s "Not the End" hit me hard this morning. It’s a reminder that every challenge, every pivot, and even every so-called "failure" is just part of a new chapter — not the end of the story.

Happy Friday, friends! ☀️ Before we slide into the weekend, just a little reminder from me to you: ✨ The small stuff does matter. ✨ You made it through another week (👏). ✨ Rest is productive. ✨ You’re allowed to feel proud of what you did get done.

We don’t always think of fiction as leadership development. But what if the stories you love—the ones that challenge you, move you, stay with you—are quietly shaping the kind of leader you’re becoming?

Just finished Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey — finally! Book 22 of 2025 and worth every second. Got inspired to read it after hearing him speak at ATD 2024. The audiobook? Chef’s kiss. Highly recommend. Fav quote: “Be less impressed, more involved.” That one’s staying with me.

I understand much about how therapeutic writing can be as we recover & grow from life’s traumas. I’m thrilled that Sam has used this as an opportunity to be both vulnerable & inspiring! 💜 #booksky

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼
