I've seen lots of turkeys in #stpaul but mostly around Summit Hill a few blocks from Dale and Selby. They've moved closer to us, now -- this at Saint Clair and Cretin.

Personally, I would take more turkeys for fewer rabbits. The rabbit population around here is just bonkers. When I do my morning walks, most yards will have one to three rabbits just sitting there. You see them all day, too.
Writing that, it makes me think we could use some urban foxes. Years back there was a family of foxes whose den was literally under the State Capitol in Madison -- foxes can and do live in urban areas.

...which makes me wonder: why don't you see more of them? It seems like basic predator-prey population dynamics. Think of the classic Lotke-Volterra model. A few foxes could make their way into the urban area here, feast like kings, and reproduce like...er...rabbits.

📰 "Duże somalijskie centrum handlowe o nazwie Karmel Mall zostało zamknięte na cały dzień. Przedszkola musiały zawiesić działalność, gdy ich pracownicy zażądali dnia wolnego. Pracownicy zmusili duże centrum obsługi telefonicznej AT&T do zamknięcia. Największy dom opieki w aglomeracji Twin Cities zorganizował obowiązkowe spotkania dla całego personelu, grożąc zwolnieniem pracownikom, którzy w nich wezmą udział, jednak te taktyki zastraszania nie przyniosły skutku i placówka stanęła w obliczu masowej nieobecności pracowników. Łączna liczba mieszkańców Minneapolis i Saint Paul wynosi mniej niż 750 000; w ten piątek na ulice wyszło około 100 000 osób, mimo temperatur poniżej zera. Można śmiało stwierdzić, że co najmniej jeden na ośmiu mieszkańców Twin Cities wziął udział w strajku generalnym."

Very interesting idea for I-94 in the Twin Cities: make it into a subway!

https://streets.mn/2026/04/28/half-the-work-is-done-the-clear-cut-case-for-a-subway-in-the-i-94-trench/

As someone who lives in between the downtowns, this would be awesome. Covering the I-94 trench would fill in and connect the "south of the interstate" and "north of the interstate" neighborhoods, making it easier to get around this area, and with a stop on Snelling, would make it easy for us to get to either downtown very fast.

It does seem like this is a hopeless dream; I really don't see MnDOT taking this seriously -- but lots of ideas like this seem impossible until they aren't. And the reasoning seems sound: you want underground rail via cut-and-cover -- and we already have the "cut", which makes it cheaper.

I'm not so sure about the article's claim of 16 minutes from downtown to downtown -- that's an average speed around 40 miles per hour, which seems ambitious if you stop, say, twice. But even at 20-25 minutes, that would be nice.

"The analysis revealed some troubling trends: of the children who were detained, nearly two dozen were held in custody for more than 20 days, in violation of a longstanding legal settlement. Teens who were detained alone were sent to Christian youth shelters in Michigan, which made it hard for their families to find them. And nearly half of the children detained have since left the country."

Federal Agents Are Intimidating #LegalObservers at Their Homes: “They Know Where You Live.”

#Immigration authorities in #Minnesota have identified legal observers by name and address, and in some cases showed up at their homes.

by Austin Campbell
March 5 2026, 5:53 a.m.

"Former Minnesota state Sen. #MattLittle was lawfully observing federal immigration agents in a Dakota County neighborhood last month when the drive took an unexpected turn.

"As he followed their vehicles, they led him down a rural road that grew increasingly familiar during the 20-minute drive. Soon, Little told #TheIntercept, he realized where the federal agents were headed: his house.

"When he approached his driveway, two SUVs were already waiting, Little said. Agents moved to block his car, claiming he had impeded their investigation and that local law enforcement would be called. No other officers came to his house, and Little was not cited or charged.

" 'The intent was clearly to intimidate us. It’s stressful. It’s a little bit scary. But at the same time,' Little said, 'I just think it’s really important to be out there and monitoring what they’re doing.'

"Interviews, sworn declarations, and video reviewed by The Intercept indicate that Little is not the only person subjected to this kind of #intimidation. Across the #TwinCities, immigration agents have identified legal observers by name and address, and, in some cases, led them back to their homes after they engaged in lawful monitoring of immigration activity. Legal observers say this pattern of behavior sends a clear and chilling message: The federal government knows who they are and where they live.

"These encounters are unfolding amid a rapid expansion of federal #surveillance capabilities.

"Immigration authorities have significantly expanded their use of mobile #biometric and surveillance tools in recent years. Officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement as well as Customs and Border Protection, for example, can use the smartphone app #MobileFortify to photograph a person’s face or capture fingerprints in the field and compare them against federal biometric databases, according to a Department of Homeland Security inventory of artificial intelligence technologies."

#TwinCities Unions Planning ‘Largest US #RentStrike in 100+ Years’ as #ICEOccupation Drives #EvictionCrisis

“Tenants in #Minnesota are in a crisis,” said #Minneapolis City Council Member #AishaChughtai. “The federal invasion forced many of our neighbors to stay home and devastated our #LocalEconomy.”

Stephen Prager, Feb 17, 2026

"Tenant and labor unions in Minneapolis and St. Paul have announced plans to carry out what they said would be the 'largest rent strike in the United States in the last 100 years.'

"Beginning on #March1, if Democratic Minnesota Gov. #TimWalz does not meet their urgent demands for an #EvictionMoratorium and #RentRelief, a coalition of nearly 26,000 workers has pledged to withhold rent, which they said could create a massive economic disruption.

"The plans were announced on Tuesday by the tenants union #TwinCitiesTenants, which is joined by five labor unions: Service Employees International Union (#SEIU) Local 26, SEIU Healthcare Minnesota/Iowa, UNITE HERE Local 17, the Amalgamated Transit Union (#ATU) 1005, and Communication Workers of America (#CWA) 7250.

"They argued that a freeze on rents is desperately needed after 'nearly three months of federal occupation' under President Donald #Trump’s '#OperationMetroSurge,' which sent nearly 3,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) and other immigration agents to the area, resulting in multiple fatal shootings and a wave of #CivilRights violations, including explicit #RacialProfiling."
