I’d suggest Gris: absolutely gorgeous (visually and musically), melancholic, emotionally heavy but ultimately uplifting

A Short Hike is a sweet little gem, low gameplay demands, pureheated and charming

Maybe Katamari Damacy Reroll: might be a bit manic for her taste? But charming, weirdly satisfying gameplay, great soundtrack

If she liked Journey, maaaaybe Shadow of the Colossus…but might be both too intense and too difficult for her taste, I’d say probably not

The Trump admin wants us to believe that these Minneapolis neighbors are horrible criminal terrorists something something. They presented shocking, •shocking• evidence in support of this claim at the protest, which consisted of video of some of the charged people:

⁃ saying people should “become ungovernable”
⁃ discussing carrying guns to a protest
⁃ saying they’re anti-fascist

That’s it. That’s apparently the meat in this embarrassing nothingburger.

Early press coverage here, minimal info so far:

mprnews.org/story/2026/06/16/f

MPR has been good about getting info out fast on this beat, and presumably will update that story.

Apparently there was some good pushback from the local press at the press conference that just happened.

MPR NewsProtests follow after 15 Minnesotans charged with anti-ICE conspiracyFederal officials Tuesday said a grand jury indicted the 15 “for conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers,” and for efforts to allegedly “violently oppose immigration law enforcement.” However, the indictment itself does not allege any specific acts of violence.
