In most places, property lines stop at the street, but in North Oaks, #Minnesota, property lines extend to the middle of the street. This makes the entire city private property, which prohibits Google and other mapping companies from driving through to take street-level photos. This Minnesotan figured out how residents achieved this block and then found a way to map the area himself.
Today's #mplsintheblind is up:
"Liam Ramos ordered deported, again, weeks after return"
What the entire fuck: A federal judge orders the deportation of Liam Ramos and his family. Weeks after outcry led to Liam and his father returning from Federal detention in Texas, a Minnesota judge orders their deportation. We do what we must for our neighbors: The JFK Library awards the people of the Twin Cities the Courage Award.
If you see me crying in public, it's just some pride at knowing and living among the world's best neighbors.

Today's #mplsintheblind us up:
"Frey wants $40 Million for cops, zero for neighbors, rocket docket, and food"
Minneapolis’s own cop city: Minneapolis Mayor Frey wants $40 million for our own Cop City. This, after the insult and injury of vetoing any assistance for neighbors impacted by ICE last week. Councilor Soren posts a reply on BlueSky. This while Minneapolis schools are facing budget cuts. It’s not over: Somali neighbors raising alarm over deportation “Rocket docket” is infringing on civil liberties. Human Rights First reports on ICE Flight activity in February. The ICE Flight Monitor account on BlueSky posted a thread of key findings. Around town:
From a witness. #ICE agents kidnap a victim in downtown #SaintPaul, #Minnesota
They place a black bag over their head.
This can only be to brutalize, murder, or disappear the victim without perpetrators or locations being identified, or to psychologically torture them to make them fear that outcome.
ICE has targeted asylees and asylum seekers fleeing places where exactly this kind of incident. This is sick and sadistic.
Good timing for NACTO (an association of North American #cities and #transit agencies formed to exchange #transportation ideas, insights, and practices and cooperatively approach national transportation issues) to have its 2026 Designing Cities conference in #Minneapolis, May 12-15. https://events.bizzabo.com/designingcities2026?mc_cid=7556cbed44&mc_eid=9ab2822fa2
As Thomas L. Friedman suggested in March 15 column “Why Minnesota Matters More Than Iran for America’s Future”:
"For anyone outside of #Minnesota who wants to help, the best thing you can do is #vacation in the #TwinCities or hold your next #convention here.”
