You literally cannot make this up.

While the city of Minneapolis continues to crumble under the weight of failed progressive policies, and as radical Democrats fan the flames of division against federal ICE agents trying to enforce the law, the City Attorney’s office has announced its top priority for the week.

According to an internal email circulated to city attorneys on Thursday morning, the Minneapolis City Attorney’s Office invited staff to a midday “healing circle” designed for “quiet, supportive connection,” followed by an appearance from therapy goats beginning at noon.

The email was signed by City Attorney Kristyn Anderson, who, naturally, made sure to include her (She/Her) pronouns in her official government signature block.

Townhall columnist Dustin Grage broke the story on X, posting a screenshot of the email that exposes just how far the city has fallen into woke absurdity.

Read the email below:

CAO friends, I wanted to pass this along:

Human Resources will be facilitating a healing circle from 12:00–1:00 PM in PSB100AB for any City employees who would like to be in shared space with colleagues. This is intended as a quiet, supportive environment for connection and presence.

As a reminder, therapy goats will also be in PSB100 beginning at noon, and folks are welcome to stop by at any point.

Participation is entirely optional. There is no expectation to speak or actively participate—attendees are welcome to simply sit, listen, and be in community with one another.

This comes as Minneapolis officials, including city leaders and allied activists, continue attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement for conducting lawful operations targeting criminal illegal aliens.

Instead of supporting federal agents tasked with public safety, Minneapolis Democrats have chosen:

  • Lawsuits against DHS and ICE
  • Public rhetoric accusing agents of “occupation”
  • Open hostility toward enforcement of immigration law
  • And now? Therapy goats for city attorneys.

Minneapolis doesn’t need therapy goats. It needs law and order.
