call me old fashioned but I don’t think anyone should have to trade for “no deporting US citizens” we should get that one for free you know

my kid came home from kindergarten today and announced she was setting a trap to catch a leprechaun. apparently other kids at school always end up with candy and treats in their annual leprechaun traps, so she’s pretty stoked to see what she gets. I am begging other parents to fucking cool it

Department of Homeland Security leaders removed top privacy officers who objected to mislabeling government records to block their public release, WIRED has learned.

Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.

It’s so enraging that fascists can cause death and destruction via “policy” but when we point that out or name it we are the ones causing harm. It’s just like when we said ICE was killing people and akin to nazism and they said we were being inflammatory. NAMING VIOLENCE ISN’T THE SAME AS VIOLENCE

They blew up USAid and doomed millions to an agonizing death but a video of them being an idiot on camera is causing reputational damage

This is the f’ing way. Every one of the those wrongly detained should be suing the federal government, as well as individual members of the administration by name. It’s one of the only major avenues of recourse that might affect change in the admin’s behavior.

Minnesotans have boldly stepped up and helped keep their neighbors afloat. Now, in this legislative session, we can help prevent the worst of this housing crisis and keep our neighbors in their homes. Today the Senate passed Senator Port’s bill for $40M in rent assistance.

Spring has sprung!* *I carried my toddler’s bike for three quarters of a mile when she abandoned it halfway through our walk.

Maj. Leader Erin Murphy: “I don’t want to live in a place where authorities think their responsibilities include shooting people, but don’t include helping the wounded or dying, even and especially if they’re the ones who caused it.” Read more: www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

this kid was spirited away to a "short-term residency program" owned by Bethany Christian Services, an evangelical adoption agency connected to Betsy DeVos

The stuffed animal things are unhinged. would not have to hold that thing the whole medal ceremony. Do they do something like that every Olympics and I just haven’t noticed?

The rivalry immediately fades and I feel bad for all the sad Canadians 😂 They’re our friends!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🏒🥅

This is not meant to save money or manpower. PreCheck et al was designed to reduce manpower & streamline the process. This is meant to inconvenience as many people as possible, specifically those who paid directly to support the program.

I believe in giving credit where it’s due. Hang the entire Gorsuch concurrence in the Louvre. Master class in telling your colleagues they’ve lost their fucking minds.

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

We won’t ever forget Melissa, Mark, and Gilbert Hortman. Now, we honor Melissa’s legacy by building the Minnesota she believed in and fought so hard for.

Today, Senator John Hoffman returned to the Senate chamber after surviving an assassination attempt in June. He spoke today about what it means to be back and to serve Minnesotans. youtu.be/SzMSsbGA0Dg?...

Lakeville business owner: “This is not politics as usual; this is an affront to humanity. I both live and own a restaurant in a GOP district. If my Representative cares about me, my local business, my rights... he'd support these proposals [to hold ICE accountable]” @senatedfl.bsky.social

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

WITH WHOM CAN I TALK ABOUT FIGURE SKATING

So many victims — and heroes here. I’m in awe of Zena Stenvik’s commitment but especially her ability to communicate: when I’ve heard her interviewed, or testifying, she’s been clear as a bell.

BREAKING: The Trump administraiton has committed a mass violation of ICE detainees' constitutional rights in MN, effectively blocking their acess to attorneys in the Whipple building, a judge ruled tonight. The judge: Trump appointeee Nancy Brasel storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If ICE is in fact finally leaving Minnesota, that would be a welcome development, but it does not make us whole. The Trump administration has lied to the public about why they came here, what they did to people, and about the Minnesotans they killed, assaulted, and made disappear.

You mean my $5 Costco chicken that I make 5 meals out of? Yeah that’s totally the problem with the housing market.

I need everyone to remember that this also happened less than a year ago. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

ICE is having a devastating impact on our small businesses here in Minneapolis. Businesses are having to close because of the terror ICE is inflicting on our community. Now is the time to reach out to your federal representative to let them know you don’t support funding DHS.

The little boy who Bad Bunny handed a Grammy to during his Super Bowl halftime show performance was not Liam Conejo Ramos, according to school officials.

the bushes were people 😂

Do I not understand what an ACL is? How is Lindsey Vonn even walking??

There was so much ICE activity today. A group of agents spent the whole morning inside Jimmy’s Bar and then ended up driving erratically all throughout the Holland & Como neighborhoods, eventually trying to park at the 2nd precinct police station.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

Talked with my 7 year old yesterday about some questions she had about ICE because kids were saying things at school that had scared her. At bedtime she’s usually full of questions, so I asked, “Are you wondering about anything else?” “Hmm. Yeah. Do they still make tamagotchis?”

VA Senate president responds to Ted crying about VA’s redistricting, which should add 4 new Dem seats.

Welcome to parenthood in 2026. It’s 8am and you have drop off, a meeting, a press conference from the border czar you need to watch, and summer care registration opens at the same time. Good luck!

I’ll sleep when I’m held in contempt of court

Feb. 3 is caucus night. I’m very disappointed that the party did not stand up a true remote option during such a dangerous time for so many. I hope they do more for conventions. That said, tomorrow is the deadline to submit a non-attendee form to your SD Chair. Find it here: dfl.org/caucus/
