1973 - the year #Minnesota established rules to end segregation in all schools (it just flashed across my screen). I started school B4 then. This state may have done some great things but never forget #GeorgeFloyd happened here because of institutional #Racism. That's not leaving even if #ICE does.

Passing by Whipple, some of those vehicles with Gene Steffy tags appear to still be parked there. Nearby, I saw vehicles parked with California, Nebraska, and Iowa license plates.

Uhm... what? (Email from Minneapolis Public Schools re: summer programs)

This is going to really screw up a lot of families' summer childcare plans. Most of us already got our kids' acceptance letters over a month ago and were planning on these weeks of care + before/after school care.

Reminder: @bradtabke.bsky.social is a Minnesota legislator from a district so purple our legislature stopped for weeks while GOP tried to steal his seat YET helped organize legal observers AND confronted ICE to protect residents (many ineligible to vote for him) AND helped stop a concentration camp
So proud of Minnesota! Because of all the work you’ve done and the support across the country, the US Senate has ended - for now - funding for ICE!!

We need to keep it up to ensure they stop hurting us and actually leave our communities. Not one more penny for ICE!!

Seriously. Like you have more than a billion dollars? And there are unfunded GoFundMes in your city right now? Like, what are you doing, man?
💯 this

but also

Can we talk about how having a billion dollars is, in addition to everything else, really tacky?
Billionaires should be taxed out of existence because no one human being should possess the unilateral power to launch the kinds of environment-destroying and world-changing projects that billionaires can approve.

COVID-19 had killed about 38 people, most of them Black, in Albany, Georgia, by April 2020.

But when a white judge died, local officials made sure to announce her name.
