Minneapolis has given so many Somali kids the ability to dream about things our ancestors probably couldn’t have even imagined. becoming a doctor, owning a business, going to college, creating something of your own, having a family, just having the chance to build a life that wasn’t limited by the circumstances you were born into. that’s a beautiful thing and i don’t think we talk about it enough.<br>\nbut at the same time, the last few years have been emotionally exhausting. since 2020 especially, life has felt so strange and dystopian sometimes. it feels like there is constantly another headline, another crisis, another thing happening that makes you look around and wonder what happened to the city you grew up in. and i think it’s especially difficult when you’re Somali because there’s this constant feeling that you’re supposed to just be grateful. like you were given this opportunity so you don’t really get to complain about what’s happening around you. but i think you can be grateful and still be tired. you can love this city and still be frustrated with it. you can acknowledge the problems without pretending that the problems represent everyone.<br>\nwhat hurts is seeing how quickly the actions of a few can start to feel like they are being attached to an entire community. there are so many Somali people in Minneapolis who are just living their lives, working, going to school, raising families, opening businesses, taking care of their parents, taking care of their neighbors and trying to leave this place better than they found it. there are Somali kids growing up here right now who have never known another home. people who have memories here, friendships here, families here, dreams here. Minneapolis has shaped generations of Somali people and Somali people have shaped Minneapolis right back.<br>\nso sometimes i wonder why there isn’t more space for us to talk about how painful it is to watch all of this happen. why is it so hard to say that we are proud to be Somali and proud to be from Minneapolis while also being scared, disappointed, exhausted or angry about what’s happening? why does acknowledging what’s wrong sometimes feel like you’re betraying your own community or defending yourself against people who already decided what they think about you?<br>\ni don’t want to spend my 20s feeling like i have to constantly explain that i’m one of the good ones or that i’m grateful to be here. i know i’m lucky. i know what my parents sacrificed. i know that there are people around the world who would give anything for the opportunities i’ve had. that’s exactly why i care so much about what happens to this city. i want to be a good neighbor. i want to take care of my family. i want to contribute something. i want to leave Minneapolis better than i found it. i want the Somali kids growing up here after me to feel like they belong here without having to prove it.<br>\nand maybe that’s what has been weighing on me the most. i don’t want to leave. i don’t want to stop loving this city. i don’t want the ugly parts of the last few years to erase all of the beautiful things that have happened here. Minneapolis has given so many of us a chance at life that our parents and grandparents dreamed about. it gave us room to become people they couldn’t have imagined becoming. i just wish there was more room to talk about how emotionally taxing it is to watch the place that gave you that chance change so much.<br>\ni think a lot of Somali people my age are carrying that feeling quietly. we love this place. we’re proud of where we come from. we’re grateful for the life we were given. we just want to feel like we still have a place in the city we were born and raised in. and i don’t think that’s asking for too much.</p>\n</div>\n\n<p><small>⬆️ 825 points | 💬 125 comments</small></p>","metadata":{"score":1830,"source_feed_id":"r-twincities","source_feed_type":"reddit"}},{"id":"1x00ot0","title":"Mark Miernicki, a candidate for Columbia Heights mayor is posting AI slop on his socials","link":"https://www.reddit.com/r/TwinCities/comments/1x00ot0/mark_miernicki_a_candidate_for_columbia_heights/","author":"thedubiousstylus","published_at":"2026-10-07T16:13:07+00:00","content":"\n\n<p><img src=\"https://rssglue.subdavis.com/media/3f/3f037ccb216ee4fa4e6b7bce08ffd042caf26c6e5676806c75d1c40cf8b1c4d9.jpg\" alt=\"image\"></p>\n\n\n\n<div><p>If you're in Columbia Heights please don't vote for this idiot.</p>\n</div>\n\n<p><small>⬆️ 369 points | 💬 57 comments</small></p>","metadata":{"score":464,"source_feed_id":"r-twincities","source_feed_type":"reddit"}},{"id":"1wzkd6u","title":"A huge thank you to the observer who casually stayed with me when I got pulled over today.","link":"https://www.reddit.com/r/TwinCities/comments/1wzkd6u/a_huge_thank_you_to_the_observer_who_casually/","author":"porcelaincatstatue","published_at":"2026-10-07T01:46:31+00:00","content":"\n\n\n<div><p>After a long day at work, I finally got to head home from Saint Paul to Minneapolis. I was maybe a bit north of Payne-Phalen. And I guess, while trying to shove food in my mouth and realizing how much my back hurt, I didn't do a proper stop at a stop sign. (Which istg I didn't see. I'm sooo careful about that stuff because I've been hit by a car before.)</p>\n\n<p>So, the lights went on behind me at the stop light, and I was so confused that I just sat there. Then I thought, \"Maybe I'm blocking the turn lane, and they need me to move.\" Readers, that was not the case. Cut to me pulled over and having a full panic attack. I'm terrified of cops after many personal traumatic incidents and stories of people being dragged from their cars during Metro Surge. Pure trauma mode that I wasn't gonna make it home to my kitties. Because they wouldn't know why they were abandoned. </p>\n\n<p>This man, who looked like he was maybe a bit younger than my dad, in a reflective vest or shirt, pulled over on the other side of the road and popped his hood. He wasn't really working on anything, and I could see him standing on the other side, looking through the windows at me. His truck seemed fine, and it seemed apparent that he'd pulled over to monitor the situation. It was a comfort in such a terrifying moment when I, cop traumatized &amp; also autistic person, didn't know if I'd make it home to my babies. </p>\n\n<p>Everything turned out fine enough. I got a ticket for blowing a stop sign. (Which I didn't even think to ask more about because I was so scared.) The cop was nice enough. And I got home to my loves. Idk if that guy actually had truck issues or was looking out, or if he'll ever see this. But thank you. We didn't have folks like you back home. I'm so glad I moved here. Thanks again from me, and the kitties, Artichoke and Juniper.</p>\n</div>\n\n<p><small>⬆️ 319 points | 💬 23 comments</small></p>","metadata":{"score":1272,"source_feed_id":"r-twincities","source_feed_type":"reddit"}},{"id":"1wzaf7i","title":"Fox9 Minneapolis: Delta aggressively pursued and poached Sun Country pilots in Minneapolis after merger with Allegiant which destabilized the low cost carrier operation at MSP","link":"https://www.reddit.com/r/TwinCities/comments/1wzaf7i/fox9_minneapolis_delta_aggressively_pursued_and/","author":"Dry_Acanthisitta433","published_at":"2026-10-06T18:35:45+00:00","content":"\n\n<p><a href=\"https://youtu.be/2FrnH1dMI3E?si=P1DjZA9dDg9XmpDZ\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https://youtu.be/2FrnH1dMI3E?si=P1DjZA9dDg9XmpDZ</a></p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><small>⬆️ 283 points | 💬 54 comments</small></p>","metadata":{"score":301,"source_feed_id":"r-twincities","source_feed_type":"reddit"}},{"id":"1wydmh0","title":"Man fatally shot on Green Line train","link":"https://www.reddit.com/r/TwinCities/comments/1wydmh0/man_fatally_shot_on_green_line_train/","author":"aardvarkgecko","published_at":"2026-10-05T16:49:47+00:00","content":"\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.startribune.com/man-fatally-shot-on-green-line-train-traveling-from-stop-near-gophers-football-stadium/601897326?utm_source=gift\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https://www.startribune.com/man-fatally-shot-on-green-line-train-traveling-from-stop-near-gophers-football-stadium/601897326?utm_source=gift</a></p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><small>⬆️ 291 points | 💬 234 comments</small></p>","metadata":{"score":295,"source_feed_id":"r-twincities","source_feed_type":"reddit"}},{"id":"1wxl538","title":"The Twin Cities Marathon annually restores my faith in humanity","link":"https://www.reddit.com/r/TwinCities/comments/1wxl538/the_twin_cities_marathon_annually_restores_my/","author":"cjmxv3","published_at":"2026-10-04T17:21:05+00:00","content":"\n\n\n<div><p>Shout out to all the runners, and to the neighbors around Mile 17 that always make this such a special day.</p>\n</div>\n\n<p><small>⬆️ 274 points | 💬 24 comments</small></p>","metadata":{"score":277,"source_feed_id":"r-twincities","source_feed_type":"reddit"}},{"id":"1wx7der","title":"Please Tell Me I Am Not The Only One Who Sees A Penis...","link":"https://www.reddit.com/r/TwinCities/comments/1wx7der/please_tell_me_i_am_not_the_only_one_who_sees_a/","author":"Pinkllamajr","published_at":"2026-10-04T05:12:03+00:00","content":"\n\n<p><img src=\"https://rssglue.subdavis.com/media/2f/2f7313a1c82490167903f3c2e26d7269926ce2985144b4ce65f4fd7053c95281.jpg\" alt=\"image\"></p>\n\n\n\n<div><p>I feel like who/whatever did the name for \"Lisa\" knew exactly what they were doing.</p>\n</div>\n\n<p><small>⬆️ 552 points | 💬 95 comments</small></p>","metadata":{"score":909,"source_feed_id":"r-twincities","source_feed_type":"reddit"}},{"id":"1wx5ub0","title":"Do Any Rainforest Cafe Patrons Know How Seriously the MOA Location Takes “Lifetime Bans”?","link":"https://www.reddit.com/r/TwinCities/comments/1wx5ub0/do_any_rainforest_cafe_patrons_know_how_seriously/","author":"LilSuzieForMayor","published_at":"2026-10-04T03:44:03+00:00","content":"\n\n\n<div><p>Is a lifetime ban just something they threaten when they’re really mad?</p>\n\n<p>Or do they have a formal system in place to monitor and enforce the punishment?</p>\n\n<p>If the latter, any advice on how to navigate the appeals process would be greatly appreciated.</p>\n</div>\n\n<p><small>⬆️ 404 points | 💬 136 comments</small></p>","metadata":{"score":1095,"source_feed_id":"r-twincities","source_feed_type":"reddit"}},{"id":"1wwx6tq","title":"Cities are amazing places","link":"https://www.reddit.com/r/TwinCities/comments/1wwx6tq/cities_are_amazing_places/","author":"VinceMpls","published_at":"2026-10-03T20:30:04+00:00","content":"\n\n<p><img src=\"https://rssglue.subdavis.com/media/e6/e601a55e8d776bb2cf12cd9818ac59f1b4bf61ac805fca38cb19cc484d3009d2.jpg\" alt=\"image\"></p>\n\n\n\n<div><p>Yet another cool thing about wandering around Minneapolis on a fine fall day is you can accidentally run into a women-led wood carving class in an alley.

I certainly wouldn’t be comfortable with my vehicle being treated this way. @Guardian Recovery Services</p>\n\n<p>If this is your green Subaru Forester, or someone you know, DM me. I can provide more proof if your vehicle was damaged.</p>\n\n<p>And if you’re heading to TCM tomorrow, beware of the poorly marked lots near the Capitol that have been available for parking in the past or bring at least $400 in cash with you!</p>\n\n<p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Apologies in advance for the text wall.</p>\n\n<p>There are a number of comments questioning whether the towed vehicles were parked legally or what made this activity predatory. Regardless of whether these comments are internet trolls or genuine, the questions are fair enough to warrant a response.</p>\n\n<p>Speaking for myself, yes, <em>technically</em> my vehicle was parked illegally. However, there are a number of reasons I feel the towing of my and others’ vehicles was predatory:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>The lot was available for TCM event parking in past years, so people attempting to park there this year was a reasonable expectation.</li>\n<li>The sign indicating that unauthorized vehicles would be towed at the lot entrance I used was obscured by a tree.</li>\n<li>The signs with QR codes allowing people to pay for parking were very few and positioned in directions that would make one question whether they were really making an attempt at maximum visibility. It’s likely that some people parking there did not even see these signs, myself included.</li>\n<li>Some QR codes directed people to a site where parking could be paid for at an hourly rate of $5. Others loaded the site with a rate of $5,000 per hour, plus fees. I really hope no one fell for that!</li>\n<li>Tow trucks were lying in wait and rushing vehicles out of the lot as quickly as possible. I suspect this led to the use of improper equipment shown in the video, in an attempt to maximize the number of vehicles towed and thus profit.</li>\n<li>Some people who happened to reach their vehicles as they were about to be towed were given the <em>opportunity</em> to pay the tow truck driver a cash bribe to leave their vehicle and move on to the next one.</li>\n<li>None of the signage indicates what the cost of recovering a towed vehicle will be. At best, this is a lack of transparency; at worst, it provides an opportunity for shady business practices.</li>\n<li>Upon arriving at the impound lot, people (at least those around me) were told that the cost was $400 cash only.</li>\n<li>People in a disadvantaged financial position may not be able to produce the required payment amount or form, leaving them without access to their vehicle until they can “pay up or shut the **** up” (quote from a Guardian employee).</li>\n<li>In addition to the forced rolling of the vehicle off the truck while it was in park, I also witnessed a mother ask if she could at least access her vehicle to retrieve a diaper for her child. She was denied until the cash was paid.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Of course, “predatory towing” is my opinion, and you’re entitled to your own. I can accept that I fell into this trap and was had, but maybe some better protections are in order so this doesn’t have to happen to the next person.</p>\n</div>\n\n<p><small>⬆️ 326 points | 💬 50 comments</small></p>","metadata":{"score":405,"source_feed_id":"r-twincities","source_feed_type":"reddit"}},{"id":"1wwtwnz","title":"Eden Prairie homecoming dance canceled after 2 people shot at football game","link":"https://www.reddit.com/r/TwinCities/comments/1wwtwnz/eden_prairie_homecoming_dance_canceled_after_2/","author":"LyndalePothole","published_at":"2026-10-03T18:12:44+00:00","content":"\n\n<p><a href=\"https://www.startribune.com/eden-prairie-high-school-football-game-evacuated-on-friday-night/601896911?utm_source=gift\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https://www.startribune.com/eden-prairie-high-school-football-game-evacuated-on-friday-night/601896911?utm_source=gift</a></p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><small>⬆️ 391 points | 💬 210 comments</small></p>","metadata":{"score":465,"source_feed_id":"r-twincities","source_feed_type":"reddit"}},{"id":"1wwc06u","title":"'Emergency' causes large police presence, homecoming evacuation in Eden Prairie","link":"https://www.reddit.com/r/TwinCities/comments/1wwc06u/emergency_causes_large_police_presence_homecoming/","author":"aardvarkgecko","published_at":"2026-10-03T02:33:23+00:00","content":"\n\n<p><a href=\"https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/large-police-presence-in-eden-prairie/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/large-police-presence-in-eden-prairie/</a></p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><small>⬆️ 210 points | 💬 79 comments</small></p>","metadata":{"score":277,"source_feed_id":"r-twincities","source_feed_type":"reddit"}},{"id":"1wvsbab","title":"Checking in on lgbt students.","link":"https://www.reddit.com/r/TwinCities/comments/1wvsbab/checking_in_on_lgbt_students/","author":"AlienReprisal","published_at":"2026-10-02T12:18:39+00:00","content":"\n\n\n<div><p>I know this is random.

I’m sorry that this is so late but I figured I should make an update post since so many people were invested and are still reaching out! </p>\n\n<p>I have incredible news. Quesadilla was missing for 35 days but we were finally able to get her home. It took thermal drone searches, search &amp; rescue k9s, lots of tracking, trail cams, group searches, and live traps!!</p>\n\n<p>There was a ton of campaigning and we searched day and night for her. If anyone is going through a similar situation don’t give up hope!! All of the neighborhoods in my proximity were aware of her disappearance and still there were no direct sightings of her. Everyone was searching, but she was a very elusive lady.</p>\n\n<p>Finally, a week before she was caught, my mom just thought to place a trail cam at a neighboring property across the road (and actually quite far from the house she escaped from) on a log pile. She showed up on the camera around 3 am!! </p>\n\n<p>All of the live traps that we had placed out (and had only been catching raccoons and possums) were moved to that location. The next night quesadilla was spotted on the camera right next to the trap, but then a raccoon went into the trap and set it off 😭 and the next night she went right into the trap but it didn’t deploy!!! Finally the last night she went into the trap and she was caught. </p>\n\n<p>SHE IS SAFE!! And happy! Back to being same old quesadilla. Miraculously she checked out fine at the vet and only lost 2 lbs. Quesadilla was missing through the 4th of July fireworks, extreme heat warnings, and terrible air quality through the wildfires up north. We tried so many different things like scent drags, leaving out food, leaving the garage door open, wearing clothes and leaving them out/leaving trails of them, searching at night, but in the end it was the trail cams and the live traps that helped us bring her home. </p>\n\n<p>If anyone has any questions or is going through something similar and needs some advice on what worked for us I would be happy to message with you!!</p>\n\n<p>The drone service that we used was SkyView Drone Services. Cody was incredible and came out pretty much every night that Quesadilla was missing to scan all possible areas with his thermal drone. I would recommend him!! He is a pro at it and really cares about bringing your pet home. We paid him the one time to come out and look for her and when we didn’t find her the first night he was determined to keep coming out and searching free of charge. That really tells you how much he cares and we were so grateful. </p>\n\n<p>We also reached out to Karin Tarqwyn and had her venture out to search for quesadilla with her dogs Jett &amp; Pink. That was super cool to see. She has trained her dogs in tracking lost cats (which is something a lot of k9 trackers don’t offer since they can be more difficult). Karin had said that when she first came out she was worried that quesadilla was going to be a “coyote case” because of the coyotes in the area. However, her dogs continued to pick up live scents and it was super cool to see how Jett could pick up on chronological scents!! They were able to track where she had ventured to (and she went FAR) before she started looping back around and heading closer to the home. </p>\n\n<p>I want to thank everyone for all of their kind wishes and the massive support from everyone. Quesadilla is my entire world and I genuinely did not want to go on living without her. It was the worst 35 days with sleepless nights and a lot of tears but all of the hard work paid off! And as I’m typing this she’s cuddling right on my chest!! </p>\n</div>\n\n<p><small>⬆️ 974 points | 💬 22 comments</small></p>","metadata":{"score":1432,"source_feed_id":"r-twincities","source_feed_type":"reddit"}},{"id":"1wrwa60","title":"What is it with people driving 15-20 under the speed limit on the freeways?","link":"https://www.reddit.com/r/TwinCities/comments/1wrwa60/what_is_it_with_people_driving_1520_under_the/","author":"HappyCamper0325","published_at":"2026-09-27T21:30:43+00:00","content":"\n\n\n<div><p>I’m not trying to make one of the complaining about drivers kind of post, but why do many drivers (most of which are Uber or other transportation drivers based on their stickers) drive well below the speed limit?
