Thank you for this @kellycbooz.bsky.social. You’re right that the Minnesota kindness that is sometimes dismissed as quaint is actually a form of radical care. I’ve seen and experienced it—and I’m proud of our members and staff for supporting the community. sharemylesson.com/blog/minneso...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

In this region, while we may dip below freezing, we typically don’t stay there long.

Let’s give our Alexandria snow removal team a little grace as they tackle the roads.

I grew up in MN (and a bit of MI). The northern states invest $ into winter snow removal infrastructure because they have to.

This is my son and his buddy tonight (Wednesday) at MacArthur Elementary.
Playing hockey.
On the soccer field.
In hockey skates. No, this is not a frozen pond or lake & no, this was not a planned ice rink. This is 5–7 inches of snow + hours of sleet & freezing rain + no day above freezing since.

Jonathan Vilma - NFL announcer, just dropped 6-7 twice while interviewing Trump during the Commanders / Lions game. He clearly won some bet. 😆
