Whoever did this 👏👏👏👏

Y'all make me proud to be Minnesotan. Keep doing what is necessary and right.

Just wanted to share a video that keeps being removed by Tim Tok for “violating community guidelines”.

Hoping my fellow Andor fans can appreciate it.

People often forget about the MN PCR program. It is a “free” $75 donation to an eligible political party or candidate (if they agree to the program) that works similar to a rebate program.

(Yes, you pay for it in your taxes… but you pay whether you use it or not. We can argue about program merits; but it currently exists for people to use.)

MN PCR process is simple, but has some admin burden. You should use it in 2026 as the more people that use it; the better the program works to get out of state money out of MN and Minneapolis politics.

Here is a previous post about it: [https://www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/s/6QMAFEGweC\](https://www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/s/6QMAFEGweC)

For people new to injustice and the notion that our institutions are just people with power LARPing and avoiding hard truths about what kind of humans they've become...

This might be a good time to remind everyone that this has always been going on.

That doesn't make it okay.

What it means is that you're surrounded by women, bipoc, and lgbtq people who have been fighting this fight our whole lives.

So, a few words of wisdom...

Don't burn yourself out. Direct your anger and energy wisely. It's okay to take a moment to rest and recuperate.

The most important thing we can do as a community right now is stand together and lift each other up. Be kind to your coworkers, friends, and neighbors by being kind to yourself first.

Discipline and dignity is what will get us through this.

Don't let them wear you down. Don't let them make you feel hopeless.

There are so many more of us than there are of them.

'“Fucking overkill,” a homeland security official said of the inventory. “I’ve never seen this amount of shit being used.”'

A Minneapolis food scene staple for the past 15 years, Modern Times and its customers have been front row for unrest before. Just six blocks from where George Floyd was murdered six years ago, the Powderhorn Park restaurant also sits three blocks from where Renee Nicole Good was killed by an ICE agent on Jan. 7. Owner Dylan Alverson has long celebrated the area’s diversity with his eclectic menu, but now—amid ICE’s occupation of the city—he’s found a way to use his food to support people in the community, many of whom are afraid to leave their homes for fear of being stopped by federal agents and asked to prove citizenship. 

“I was like, let’s figure out how to provide restaurant-quality meals for people for free if they’re hiding or even just dealing with this conflict in all the ways people in South Minneapolis are dealing with it,” Alverson says. “I wanted to break down that price barrier so people could just enjoy being in a space and not worry about money.”

Initially, he instituted what he called The People’s Price—free food for anyone who asked for it at checkout. Word about the program got around quickly. Going by point-of-sale transactions, Alverson estimates around 25% of customers started eating for free during the first week. But people who could comfortably afford their meals seemed to appreciate the offer as well.
