There is an urgent protest tomorrow (Wednesday April 16th) at the El Salvadoran Consulate in St Paul 3:00- 6:00 pm, sponsored by Indivisible Twin Cities, Womens March MN, & MN 50501.

Trump is refusing to obey the Supreme Court. El Salvador is harboring death camps of Americans deported without due process.

Let’s be clear — this is fascism.

MobilizeStop State Terror. Defend the Constitution. · Indivisible Twin CitiesThe Hands-Off Coalition of Indivisible Twin Cities, Minnesota 50501 and Women's March MN, will be standing on the sidewalk outside the El Salvadoran Consulate in St. Paul to support those who have been arrested without due process, sent to the notorious CECOT prison in El Salvador. We are standing up for all who have been targeted because of speaking out and protesting. We are protesting the Trump regime’s illegal actions and cruel defiance of court orders and the rule of law. This event will happen in St. Paul on Wednesday, 4/16, from 3-6pm. The El Savadoran Consulate is at 60 Plato Blvd, St. Paul, 55107. We hope to see you all there. The Trump regime has sent hundreds of legal residents to CECOT, a massive Salvadoran prison. Here are some quick facts: El Salvador’s dictator has said those in the prison “will never leave”. NONE of the people the U.S. sent to the Salvadoran prison received a trial - and 90% have no criminal record. The prison is notorious for human rights abuses. People in this massive facility are forced into rooms with 100 other prisoners for 23 1/2 hours a day, on metal bunks with no mattresses. Some do not even get a bunk. Trump is using state terror and has created a concentration camp in El Salvador with the help of the El Salvadoran government. These are meant to be death camps for the innocent people that have been moved there illegally by Trump. The U.S. government has already paid $6 million to El Salvador for the use of its prison. We will stand for all of those who are being jailed without due process, including immigrants, student protesters, and anyone who speaks out against the Trump regime and is being targeted for their speech and right to protest. Please join us.

"Housed in the Lyndale Avenue storefront that’s been a Minneapolis music hub going back to Oar Folkjokeopus in the 1970-‘80s, Lucky Cat is more fuel for the Record Store Day fire that burns bright every year in the Twin Cities. More than a dozen stores in the metro area are listed as official participants in the national RSD bonanza, happening across the country Saturday."

So.....
#MapleSap officially "buddy" in northern #TwinCities as of last Thursday.
First Season over.
Damn.
Out of around 19 gallons of sap gathered from four trees, starting in late March, we burned about 38 ounces of sap and came away with 12 ounces of #MapleSyrup
Lots of lessons learned! Start earlier, careful cooking at the end, and also, i have another 4 or 5 trees to tap next year. 60-80 gallons of sap is not out of the question. Maybe 2 gallons of syrup if we do it right? More?

@t54r4n1 I like these bikes on a "yay more bikes" level but they frustrate me for two reasons.

1. People ride them unsafely, no helmets, and leave them in the middle of the sidewalk, causing problems for anyone with any kind of special mobility needs(wheelchair, stroller, etcl

2. They remind me that we used to have a much more equitable bikeshare, Nice Ride, and it bums me out that we don't have it anymore.
