Post 1 of 2 — On a cold morning at Bethel church in south Minneapolis, volunteers with Community Aid Network MN unloaded vehicles packed with supplies. A U-Haul, a box truck, hatchbacks and sedans lined the curb, overflowing with donations. Volunteers with whistles dangling from their necks lifted boxes. Across town in St Paul, Brittany Kubricky pulled into a school parking lot. Normally, she was there just to pick up her daughter. But today, two of her daughter’s schoolmates also climbed into the backseat. Their mother had been sheltering at home for weeks, afraid of a run-in with federal immigration agents. So friends coordinated school pickup for her. In January/February, I spent time looking at how federal immigration enforcement in the Twin Cities was reshaping everyday life in MN.

Across Minneapolis, ICE enforcement has clearly impacted routines of daily life. Workers fear commutes to work, customers disappear, and blocks fall quiet. For some small businesses, which also once served as community hubs, the cost isn’t only economic, it’s isolation, uncertainty. Others have adapted, condensing hours, closing certain days, or transforming their spaces into donation hubs. Photographed along Lake Street for “The $0 Day: Small Minneapolis Businesses Ride Out ICE Surge” for @wsj - Araceli Orozco, owner of Puerto Veracruzano 2, keeps her bar and restaurant open despite few customers. - Kitchen workers prepare food at WreckTangle Pizza. - A sheet outlining what to do in the event of an ICE raid is posted in the kitchen at WreckTangle Pizza. - Lake Street and 4th Avenue. Many restaurants, bars, and shops along Lake Street are closed or operating at limited capacity amid ongoing ICE operations. - Pineda Tacos, one of the few remaining restaurants open on the block. - At Javi’s Gift Shop, hasn’t had a customer in days. - The door remains locked at Lito’s Burrito, with each customer needing to be let in. Miguel Hernandez, owner of Lito’s Burritos, which opened two months ago, said of the cooks couldn’t come in because ICE had detained a relative, and another cook’s phone seemed to be disconnected. - El Unico Sabor sits closed.

Headlines capture high moments, violent raids, confrontations, and deaths. Those are necessary to record as Minneapolis continues to respond to the fatal shooting of a Renee Good by an ICE agent this week. There is also a quieter pain and resistance in everyday. The effects are dispersed, and so are the responses. Residents watch from the street from corners, groceries delivered to families, thousands gathering in protest.

“The Grand Canyon Fire Has North Rim Residents Wary of the Future” reported by Jack Healy The Dragon Bravo fire on the North Rim and the White Sage fire earlier this week for @nytimes . As of Thursday, Dragon Bravo had burned over 11,000 acres with 0% containment; White Sage ( about 50 miles north of the north rim) had scorched more than 58,000 acres and was just 9% contained. Both fires are reshaping daily life and casting uncertainty over a region long defined by its wide plateaus, forests of pondarosa pines, towns stitched together by tourism and history. Many families have lived here for generations, their lives tied to the land and the seasons, like those at the century-old Jacob Lake Inn. (If you’ve been, you probably remember the cookies.)

Heat is the leading cause of weather related death in the United States, yet it rarely receives sustained attention. For those most exposed, it’s relentless. In Clark County alone, more than 500 people died from heat-related causes last year. What makes that even more devastating is that most of those deaths were preventable. Last summer’s toll is something I think of often. Paired with that is also thinking about what it means to document extreme heat more fully, and how it’s lived and felt across a community. “What Makes Heat So Hard to Cover?” This @columbiajournalismreview piece by @megbernhard explores why heat is so hard to cover and how journalists are finding new ways to tell its story. Grateful to have contributed to the visual reporting. Here is some heat coverage from the year so far.

Sandy McConnell is 80 years old and still working full time, not by choice, but because she can’t afford to retire. With $37 in savings and over $70,000 in debt, she logs in daily to her remote job as an accounts receivable specialists. During her breaks she spends time with her dogs. Her story is a reminder of how many Americans are aging without a safety net. Recent work for @businessinsider
