Hey so my immediate area, neighborhoods all over Columbia Heights, Fridley, Hilltop, Northeast Minneapolis and immediate surrounding burbs are getting HIT TONIGHT. Don’t be fooled by media concessions and one (1) public demotion. We are still seeing ICE activity in reprehensible numbers.

What a guy. We may not agree on much, Mr. Madel, but THANK YOU for your clearheaded and heartfelt service to the American public.

Listen to wise Professor Timothy Snyder: Thoughts on MN laws, language and leadership. It is in how we treat the law, use the right language, and respect the real leaders, that we will get out of this and become a better country.

Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov the regime is now openly threatening free elections. And your citizenry is aware of it. We will keep getting killed in the streets for the right to vote. We should not have to, but we will. Also we’d appreciate having MPD protect US and not ICE. Thanks

Does anyone actually understand how to speak to neurotypicals? Because I am exhausted

Every day here in Minnesota is a new confirmation that the home I love is one that my white supremacist parents never truly saw. They weren’t reviled because they “weren’t from here.” Anyone who wants to build a life here can be “from here.” They were just assholes.

Cool. Really fucking great, guys. Thanks.

I hope these guys are prepared to be interrupted while eating dinner at restaurants

HC gas is a WAR CRIME and you need a FORENSIC NURSE if you are hit.

Senate Dems watching this: This is so hard to watch. It reflects so poorly on our country. We are immediately drafting a bill to demand their uniforms match.

If your only rationale for not doing more is “that sounds dangerous,” be advised that you are a coward and I do not respect you.

look at us trying to move through this world like it’s our world

I met a man at a house party who asked if we could practice our Spanish together. Fascinating how quickly my brain gave me back “afeitarse.”

Greetings from Minneapolis. We are still here and still fighting. The outpouring of Minnesotans’ generosity and courage to aid our neighbors truly cannot be overstated. If you are local, keep the faith, stay involved, gear up, white bodies to the front. We got this.

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

NYTimes has truly outdone itself with this latest in its "ask white guys in diner" genre. Thank goodness we get a perspective on what's happening in Minneapolis from people in **Nisswa** who probably mean Brainerd when they say they "prefer not to go the city anymore" www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u...

Fascists. Such a disgrace. If you're okay with this, you need to have a serious conversation with your mirror.

There's no law requiring US citizens (or anyone else) to carry ID around. That's a police state thing and, technically, the US isn't a police state even if ICE wants people to think it is.

I love my fucking city, dude

No broken bones but name calling hurts like a motherfucker

They have the "14 words", I believe white allies should counter those with the "16 words": *As a white person, I am not superior to anybody else solely because of my race.*

on a personal level I totally get it. on a political level I'm disgusted, politics is, has always been, and always will be, a knife flight to the death. the reason dems are even in this mess is because they refuse to put up with any amount of pain and thus enable fascism. they're all cowards.

In 2013 or 2014, when I was teaching at a university in Connecticut. I said in passing that it's impossible to identify someone's citizenship from their accent or physical appearance. There was a sharp intake of break and some surprised, even shocked, faces. I think of that moment often. 1/

The computer lab at school got new iMacs and it is a Very Big Deal. You always try to get the blue one because it is your favorite. There are thin orange plastic covers on the keyboards so you can’t see the letters. It’s time for Type to Learn

god i’m sick of knowing every american subplot

They forgot to tell Canada. youtu.be/yRAwN-Ss5Ro

Tomorrow’s class divide won’t just be about money—it’ll be between those taught to think and those trained to bubble in answers. We’re mass-producing test takers instead of problem solvers—and that’s a crisis for American innovation and democracy itself.

*punches baby in the face* “Oh, I shouldn’t be punching a baby in the face? What is this, some kind of purity politics?”

One deep source of joy I had today: I started rereading The Canterbury Tales aloud in its original Middle English. The language is so alive. It sounds different, warmer than today. Bouncy, well suited to verse. Look forward to continuing.

I actually had nice interactions with people today. It’s hard to remember that can happen sometimes. Even though it consistently does happen, negative feedback is so much louder.

What were YOUR first Commander decks? Or EDH for us oldies!

I just want to point out that the same payment processors who hassle sex workers and erotica producers will gladly process any bets you want to make on war crimes.

If anyone is autistic and has tried olanzapine, did it do anything to calm your constant state of agita and rage? Because I need to just start trying stuff. I am at the end of my rope. I can’t live with this level of anger.

Fearful-avoidant attachment is so fun, you guys. Really, super awesome. Comes free with a heaping helping of rage, meltdowns and shutdowns, hyperfixation, all the best of the anxious AND avoidant styles you love!

You have the choice to sacrifice trans people. Perhaps it will save you. But you don't get to ask trans people to accept the role as sacrifice. You cannot expect understanding, acceptance, forgiveness, or respect. You made your choice.

Apparently I talk about being white a lot. Makes sense - ableism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia are all intimately related to racism and white supremacist thought.

I told a very dear friend of mine about my struggles, and how I am learning to be in my body again. When I sigh, I am trying not to cry. I must have been doing this for a long time. They said, I have heard you do this. Like setting down two heavy buckets of water so gently that nothing spills.

Come the fuck on, he’s CALLED The Director of Weaponization? At the Department of Justice? Not even Orwell predicted this; this is post-irony.

So, I was feeling incredibly dramatic and off the rails earlier today because I blew up one of the most important friendships I’ve ever had and I don’t know if that’s fixable or not. But I probably have BPD, I can’t run from that anymore. Any BPDers have advice for dealing with this?

If someone could stop by and ask me not to kill myself, that’d be great thanks
