Most of the footage you see from ICE observers in Minnesota comes from the core cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. I talked to observers in the northern suburbs, who say they're taking on the same mission in very different conditions. (1)

Lots of potential pullquotes here, but I think this piece works best as a whole - a powerful, infuriating overview to share with out-of-town relatives or friends who are wondering "just how bad it is in Minneapolis."

A rollout of AI-generated pre-payment reviews for social work organizations in Minnesota is a mess that's wrecking small businesses doing good, honest social work. Archive link for non-subscribers: archive.is/nGYrI
You've probably been following the story about fraud in MN. I wrote about the people who provide services who are being driven into bankruptcy, thanks to the Walz' administration decision to hire Optum AI to screen all payments. It's a disaster.

Pentera, the Seaside City — a hand drawn map I made for an urban campaign I’m a player in :) i made a “paper” version too so we can mark it up as we go in the campaign, and it is easier to read! This is my first real attempt at cartography so it was super fun to learn new concepts #birchkeeart
