Really meeting the moment, WaPo! Nice work!

Left wing coalition govt much less Trump friendly than here in Arg. Milei would give us up in a heartbeat.

So if we’re already abroad with our family (and 1 of us has already previously been detained by this admin’s secret police) & shit *really* hits the fan tonight…

Uruguay is a short ferry ride away & would make a decent place to wait out an asylum claim (sorry Argentina…)

Niko likes it here…

Out for a family stroll along Av. Santa Fe

Tree lined urban neighborhood in Palermo, Buenos Aires.

Incredible city. So green. So walkable. So alive! Excited to wander around more this week.

All the cool kids wear them here 😉

First game in Argentina didn’t disappoint.
River 3 x 0 Belgrano.

Me and Niko at River x Belgrano

Sold out Estadio Monumental today before River Plate vs Belgrano. Easter Sunday in Buenos Aires.

A man waving a large flag with a full stadium and white and red smoke today at River Plate vs Belgrano in Buenos Aires.

Took the family to church today.

Yes - River Plate has moved to all facial recognition for tickets and security. Not crazy about it, but it’s the only way you get in now.

It’s a pretty crazy process.

Ticket to River x Belgrano

Observing Easter in Argentina by attending the futbol, as one does.

Have tix to a big soccer game in Argentina a week-ish(?) from now and both the day and time of the actual game are still somewhat unclear.

The locals we’re going with just kinda shrug.

Never change CONMEBOL/AFA

For me, personally, it was a bunch of conservative dudes snitch tagging the official Hardee’s account because they thought @katiestp.bsky.social was a real “brand ambassador”.

We were crying watching these tweets roll in.

A freezer full of Uncrustables

Come on over.

25 yr friendship at risk if I eff it up 😬

Vintage long-sleeved Boca Juniors jersey.

My friend Federico is lending me his prized 1995/96 Boca jersey so I can fit in at La Bombonera next week.

Look at this absolute beaut of a shirt! Long sleeves too! Ah!!!

(Vermilion we cool tho)

Hell yeah! Eat shit Cuyuna!

It’s cool that a kid from Wisconsin won it for them.

Someday maybe Niko Ylikuittasjärvi will send Finland to a World Cup and there will be similar scenes in Helsinki (and Saint Paul). 😝

Modernist band of ribbon windows on the backside of the cabin.

Cantilevered deck over the hillside

Side Piece Cabin overlooking the lake

Thanks! It’s a midcentury gem from the 60s that I’m (slowly) renovating/rebuilding.

Done this summer hopefully…

Still ice out away from shore on our lake in Polk County, WI.

Our labor of love (mostly) — the 1968 “Side Piece Cabin”

Briefly entertained the idea of putting the dock in today when I ran up to check on the electrician’s progress at the cabin.

A post about JD Vance’s new book followed immediately by a post from my (great) city council person talking about being excited for a book. The two posts are unrelated but for a half second…

Scrolled too quickly this morning and was briefly very concerned for @mollycoleman.bsky.social

😂

Turned on the TV just in time to see Hegseth say the words “arsenal of freedom” and that’s enough of that for the day. Click.

Post-show pic with the Mind Enterprises boys.

Mom and dad met some nice Italian boys last night.

Mom and dad went to the italo disco show last night.

A man holding a sign at the Saint Paul NoKings rally that says “Stephen Miller is an evil little man”. The sign has a photo of Miller with devil horns.

Eastbound Green Line heading to NoKings rally in St Paul

Still a lot of people on east bound Green Line trains at 2:30.

And yes, of course there are a lot of men doing selfless acts too, but I don’t think any of it has as much impact without the organization and determination of so many women in our community. And it’s still going on even though the national spotlight has shifted to other stories.

Said this months ago when things were ramping up but it’s worth saying again:

The women of MSP are the backbone and the engine of the entire ICE resistance. Someday I hope the *whole* breadth and depth of what so many are quietly doing will be fully appreciated.

Still continues to amaze me.

500 agents still here and @katiestp.bsky.social spent the morning doing pro bono legal services for local immigrant families and their kids again.

It hasn’t stopped. The work continues.
