Hennepin County deputy charged with assault in incident that sent hospital into lockdown A Hennepin County deputy is accused of domestic assault in an incident that sent a hospital in Maple Grove, Minnesota, into lockdown in February.

He yelled at his wife while she was in labor, pushed her mom out of the way, and tried to lock himself in a bathroom with his wife. She said he’d been so abusive she’d been living with her mom.

When the explosions were happening my husband was running in and out of the house on the phone with 911, I was running around yelling about what was happening and finding clothes to go outside, the dog was barking, and our kid….stayed asleep. Love this for me.

For some reason the teenager and another teen who is an EMT are the main people conducting rescue and recovery efforts and I was obsessed with it. Same author wrote The Face on the Milk Carton which was also wild as fuck.

The scary cover of Caroline B Cooney’s Flight #116 Is Down! It shows flaming plane wreckage in some woods

This whole thing reminded me of this book by one of the absolute strangest writers I’ve ever loved. She loved a suspense thriller where teens were in charge and guess what so did I. This one was about a rich girl in Connecticut who was moping about when a motherfucking plane crashed in their woods

A large view of the fire from across the street from the park. Thick black smoke, bright orange flames, red and blue lights, a gray sky.

There are like 30 neighbors out hanging out watching and chatting lollll I love us. It is deeper into the train yard than it looks, maybe even with the roads that come into the train yard off central

It’s day 95 of the ICE occupation of MN.

This weekend, Minneapolis is waiting to see if Jacob Frey will sign the Pause Evictions, Save Lives policy passed by the City Council.

The mutual aid fundraising has been enormous, but the needs continue, even as donations have slowed.

Call the mayor!

I am so very grateful to everyone who has given so far, and I am feeling the relief tonight. 💜 All that's left is getting my car insurance current and some mechanical maintenance. Please continue to share this to folks outside of MN! gofund.me/37c068b98

Minneapolis passed a pre-eviction extension yesterday which we now need Mayor Frey to sign so it can become law & give us more time to help people with their rent.

Keep reaching out to your local officials to ensure we’re standing up for policy that keeps families together & leaves no one behind.

El Taco Riendo dining room is back open and Kristi Noem is fired which means nature is healing.

At the Senate I’m continuing to push for rental assistance funding and for an extension of our pre-eviction notice which we need to help families stay in their homes.

This is how it's supposed to be.

Lawyers who think they're professionally obligated to be assholes to each other are the bane of the profession, and you find them everywhere from sole practitioners in strip malls to the biggest of BigLaw in Manhattan.

A collection of candles, flowers, and painted stones are set on a tree grate. The stones say things like "Roll on like a river" and "Love" and "Hope"

Tesla sued after Austin shooting suspect allegedly assaulted co-worker A 65-year-old woman says the automaker ignored warning signs before Ndiaga Diagne, the suspect in Sunday’s mass shooting, assaulted her. She sued Thursday.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year

the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter
