Good News from Minnesota

Wednesday, March 11, 2026

• Nathan Klock Photography posted a beautiful display of Mother Nature blessing Minnesota with color and light over the Split Rock Lighthouse in Two Harbors MN.

• Kaposia Library in South St. Paul is adding a seed library, offering garden seeds cultivated by University of Minnesota Volunteer Master Gardeners. New initiatives like this one are ways we are making ourselves more self-reliant and preventing future food scarcity.

• Modern Times Cafe has changed its name to Post Modern Times Cafe. Located in the Powderhorn neighborhood, very near Renee Good’s Memorial site, this cafe went 100% donation based during the height of Operation Metro Surge. It is now taking steps to become a full non-profit and continue as a donation based business long-term.

• Mike Moyski and Jackie Flavin, whose 10yo daughter Harper Moyski died last August in the Annunciation Catholic Church and School shooting have invited and hosted 22 lawmakers in their living room: 13 Republicans and 9 Democrats to share their story and discuss legislation to end gun violence in Minnesota. This is the neighborly way of working together, inviting people into your home to discuss touchy subjects with dignity and grace.

• Officially, 31 of 54 attorneys have left the US Attorneys office since January 2025. Many of them left for ethical reasons, upset that they were being taken of high-priority work to work on immigration cases, and some of them left when they were ordered to investigate the victims rather than the perpetrators. Minnesotans are willing to quit their jobs and change their lives in order to stand by their core values. 

• Through March 31, 2026 Pizza Lucé Uptown will donate 20% of customer bills to support grassroots community protection and constitutional rights education NOW, if customers mention Unidos/Monarca to their server. This is an increased effort from what I previously reported, extending their donations through the whole month.

• The Eggroll Queen, a beloved St. Paul foodtruck recently put out a call for volunteers to support serving hot meals to unsheltered neighbors through “pay-it-forward” meals for 200-300 people. They got so many responses they had to turn volunteers away.

I’ll be delivering a week’s worth of cash, groceries and baby supplies to a family in Minneapolis today. I’m told that of all the resistance efforts this is the most joyful thing to do right now. I’ll post a separate note about my experience later today or tomorrow.

Thanks for giving a shit.

I love you all fiercely.
