Yeah, we’re raffling.
You donate to help keep MN neighbors housed.
You email me your receipt pic at

I enter you to win these. Every $5 is an entry.
This is mitten pair #4. #2 and #3 got more than $4k and less than $5.
Let’s break $5000 donated, shall we?
damn, if the Childcrusher 5000 GTX pickup truck owners can’t afford gas, how are they going to be able to tote their massive loads of a single loaf of bread and a canned Starbucks latte
Would be amazing if we could get some non-Minnesotan neighbors plugged in here. Minnesotans have majorly overextended themselves paying their neighbor's rents and we know there is more capacity to chip in from outside the state.
A stack of stickers in the style of a Neighborhood Watch sign, but the bottom says "If I don't tell the Signal chat my neighbor will", sitting on a desk next to an iPods Pro case.
Neighborhood Watch stickers are in hand! Want one?
For every $10 you donate to standwithminnesota.com I will send you one!
DM me a screenshot and an address where I can send them. Don't want to send your address? No problem, DM me and let's figure something out.
Many families in Minneapolis are still dealing with the financial fallout of ICE -- lost jobs, lost wage-earners, lost safety. I'm reaching out today for help for one such family, neighbors who are two months behind on rent and trying to pull themselves back on their feet: gofund.me/bc33fbcb6
Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.
My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

From a Time magazine interview: Asked if Americans should worry about Iran retaliating against Americans on U.S. soil, President Donald Trump responded, “I guess.”
Trump couldn't care less about Americans. To him, we are and always have been no-names, extras, the cost of doing business. He won't lose a minute of sleep over an American life, or over a thousand of them.
this is the first AWP I have missed in many years. I have been to every AWP since NYC 2008 except one. so I’m gonna check this out. I think I signed up to read correctly. lol.
new phishing tactic is to send outrageous emails to corporate clients saying a piece of software they use is going to edit their account to tell their customers that they support ICE:

Just donated $20: who else has a little bit they can spare today? (Especially among my friends who aren't in MN themselves.)
You can sign up to be connected to a rent need directly via the Adopt A Rent program
OR
you can barnraise with me by chipping in here on Bluesky. We completed or funded in full FOUR rents this way last night.

Chart showing in many countries, people see their fellow citizens as morally good.
We asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country.
The U.S. is the only place we surveyed where more adults describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad than good. See our full morality report here: www.pewresearch.org/...
It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
How has Tim Sheehy not yet been arrested for assault and hauled away as the deranged violent thug that we all saw brutalizing a marine veteran in the senate today?
I have $230 left to pay on a rent need referred to us by CM Jason Chavez. Can anyone else help me cover this last $230? 🌻

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.
This week, we've given $500 each to four local mutual aid funds:
-Four Seasons School in Saint Paul rent relief
-West Side Rent Assistance
-Eastside Partnership Rental Aid
-Zion Community Commons food aid
A white Ford Transit van that is labeled "Midwest Plumbing". This is not a real company.
We saw an uptick in ICE activity today.
ICE continues to be spotted around the metro area - dining, driving, and hiding in between events.
Current vehicles on the short list include Black Chevrolet Tahoes, White or Silver Jeep Wagoneers, and White Ford Transit vans with fake branding.
There’s been some weird instances with apparent bounty hunters working with ICE, of which this seems to be one. You can tell because, well, they’re actual pros and not out-of-shape bozos cashing a check. We chased some a week ago and these guys can drive

Are you sad you're missing AWP? Join our open mic Thursday @ 8:00 pm Eastern!
Wish you could hit the book fair? The hotel bar? Just pile up your 79 unread books you already own by your computer, grab a drink, and get NAWPy!
In case you aren't familiar with NAWP, the whole thing started because we're busy teachers/parents, so things come up for us all the time. This is, or better or worse, 100% normal NAWP. Thanks for your flexibility, and we'll see you an hour later than originally planned on Thursday! NAWP!
Small updates on this: Our time has moved to 8pm EST! Registration and attendance are still open!

If they want me back they have to go fully Woke 2, sorry. Whole hog. I gotta be able to get an abortion there
not the most important thing going on rn by a wide margin and not something that is new information to me but nonetheless my mind keeps drifting back to the absolutely confounding idea of going on vacation to dubai
It's AWP week, which means it's NAWP's time to shine*!
*go to work like normal, do laundry like normal, drag the kids from event to event like normal, stare out the window zoned out & longing at a stoplight for so long the massive F-150 behind you blows its horn louder than Armageddon like normal
These authors reviewed 73 previous studies examining car touchscreens.
Conclusion: They're awful
"Touchscreens tended to have negative effects on driving performance, visual attention, and secondary task performance compared with voice control and physical controls."
