Two Hilton-franchise hotels in St. Paul closed because their staff were receiving threats for housing ICE and DHS agents.

Agents were informed that their reservations were cancelled, and they would need to find other lodging.

It’s important to know that:
- ICE has detained 3 members of the Sioux Nation.
- These hotels are both owned by the Minnesota band of Ojibwe.
- Both hotels are unionized.

The collective efforts of a community matter.

Dear Fediverse,

A request - please reply to this post with a song that evokes hope in your spirit.

I need a playlist for the dark and heavy days.

Love sincerely,
Me

There is nothing so pleasing as the quiet of a house after a cranky toddler FINALLY goes to sleep.

Snow!

I’m quite pleased.

It’s the worst timing because it’s when you have the least time and most things to do.
I guess I’ll be combining mindfulness practice with scrubbing the dishes until next week.

Dishwashers should not be allowed to break during finals week OR between Thanksgiving and New Year’s.

Anyway, my dishwasher is leaking in two different places and is 24 years old, so for Christmas spouse and I are getting each other a new one.

@QasimRashid Well h*ck. I've been having mixed feelings about my governor going back to DC as VP... but for THIS kind of history? I'd suck it up.

The longer I work in tech, the more I am convinced that if the industry doesn’t unionize soon, workers will lose the opportunity to truly change the world in positive ways.

“I got mine, screw you” is a terrible ethical framework- and yet VCs and Wall Street live by it.

We have to do better, but we can’t do it alone.
