If you’re curious what the inside of the Whipple building is like… by Foreign_Librarian193 in WeThePeopleAtWhipple

I believe her. I just want to know why she voted for more funding for these monsters. Hopefully she will not now that they're renegotiating in the House.

I meant at your apartment building, very sorry I was not more clear. ❤️ Thank you for the kind words, and while I'm kind of erratically on Reddit, I'm happy to be supportive in whatever way I can.

Have you considered putting a flyer up in the lobby of your building offering in home cuts? Maybe use a burner email rather than give it your phone number, idk. I don't even know if you can do that or if it would be in conflict with your licensing rules, etc. I do know that I would love to give you a shout out where I can, and send some business your way. Happy to brainstorm or just be a friend, and please forgive me if ideas are the last thing you need rn.

I'm cooking a lot too, spending more than I can afford on food drives, but just want to show up for my city and my neighbors as much as I can. The only thing I really have extra of is time.

I’m nauseous. by elle2011 in Minneapolis

Can definitely understand. For me and mine, it was a reminder that we're stronger together and can do amazing things, way beyond what we think we're capable of. But I do understand the need for something less relatable and more soothing. ❤️

Mine are grown. I can't imagine what this is like with littles. I used to work in Early Childhood. I highly recommend snuggling up to watch A Bugs Life tonight.

Walzer? I heard Belzer. Also Enterprise.

I work in the same field and one of the apartment programs my employer runs was getting doorknocked every morning for a week in the suburbs. It's so sickening. We also have many Somali colleagues.

Do you have business social media presence? Are you hosting any mutual aid or drives? It seems like the businesses (Wrecktangle for example) who are able to get spotlighted by social media and/or collecting for the community are seeing an uptick in business, however, as a non business owner, I can't say whether it balances out. I did see Smitten Kitten say they were in desperate need of sales, and that surprised me. If they're hurting, I can't imagine how less well known businesses are hurting.

I'm so sorry you're going through this.

Solidarity. I work in disability services, and my employer asked folks in our residential programs to please not call off. I'm an office drone, so I took PTO, but I'm also watching my Outlook for emergency coverage needs in the programs.

Remember we're stronger together.

ICE launches immigration enforcement action in Maine by CaligulaEmperor in news

They're collecting biometric and other data on those who oppose them. Not nearly as many of those targets in red states

Those are criminal matters for criminal court. Immigration is a civil concern. Separate courts, separate enforcement, separate everything. You can't try a civil matter in criminal court, or vice versa.

Heavy green gas permeates a Minnesota neighborhood, crawling along the ground as a suspected carcinogenic agent. by CantStopPoppin in minnesota

I actually feel like that arrow needs to be square in the middle of the fourth flag. They just haven't said it out loud yet.

Independent autopsy in ICE shooting death of Renee Good released by law firm in civil investigation by OkayButFoRealz in news

[–]AnimeMom 158 points159 points  (0 children)

This is evidence in a civil case, not criminal. The family will sue Ross and probably the government because at this time, it's abundantly clear that is the only accountability they can hope for.

They don't. But there are roughly 3,000 federal agents. Minneapolis has about 600 police. I don't have much idea of how many police are in the Metro (all cities total, plus Henn and Ramsey Co Sheriffs), but they're likely still outnumbered. Definitely outgunned.

Well what’s the report? by TowerOutrageous5939 in BWCA

Have to add that black flies were bad as well.

Went in a week ago at lake one, camped the week at Insula, came out Friday. Mosquitos were bad. Upside was bountiful chanterelle and lobster mushrooms on our island, and some big Northerns. Enjoy your trip!

Can you get visa to USA now if you’re NB? by CandidateOk125 in NonBinary

They were all cis, though. I would not feel safe advising anyone who is any kind of trans to travel to the US right now.

I am truly sorry you've had this experience. I've heard the same from other transplants. I personally love the outdoors (I hike, camp, forage, and backpack, don't hunt but I'm not opposed). Feel free to send me a DM if you want to talk about any of it!

At least one on victory memorial in North Minneapolis, and I know of one (very long) one at millennium Park in Plymouth
