Another photo from yesterday’s event!

Local journalism matters.

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

The general strike has begun. WELL DONE, MINNEAPOLIS #GeneralStrikeNow

This is a list of businesses across Minnesota that are closing tomorrow in solidarity with the economic shutdown. Huge thanks to every one of them for stepping up. If your business is also closing, drop it below.

"hello!" "what's new with you?" "nothing i'd tell you about." "i hear the united states has armed paramilitary in the streets attacking their own people, and even kidnapped the president of venezuela." "the united states seems to be getting more dangerous by the day." "take care." "bye."

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status. Call the GI Bill Rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487

21-year-old activist injured by ICE: I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

Daily reminder from now until Jan. 20, the day of the nat'l "Free America" walkout, sponsored by Women's March. Find an event in your community and participate--preferably w/the largest gathering in your area. Large masses of protesters have maximum impact. www.womensmarch.com (www.womensmarch.com)

His 6 month old stopped breathing! HIS SIX MONTH OLD STOPPED BREATHING! A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside! His 6 month old stopped breathing & all the children were hospitalized!

There have been no new Epstein files released in 2026 and only 1% of the files have been released so far. RELEASE THE FILES

FBI raiding reporters homes at request of the Pentagon sounds completely legit and not at all like the USA has turned into an authoritarian state. I’m proud of the folks who realize what’s happening and are speaking out. I am ashamed of the cowards & fools that are complacent.

🧵 The autoworker at the Dearborn Truck Plant is a proud member of a strong and fighting union—the UAW. He believes in freedom of speech, a principle we wholeheartedly embrace, and we stand with our membership in protecting their voice on the job.

When self-employed software engineer Nick Benson put out the call for dashcams online, he thought he’d get maybe 10 people to donate. More than 500 have shown up on his front porch. Here's how one guy crowdsourced 500+ dashcams for Minneapolis to film ICE www.404media.co/how-one-guy-...

A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has released the identities of about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees Tuesday in what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach for the department.

WATCH: We are LIVE on-the-ground at today's ICE protests in Minneapolis

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.” (H/T @marcofoster.bsky.social )

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Where’s the lie

I live in Minnesota. I’m going to my kid’s school when it lets out today. Parents are making sure kids get safely to buses and cars so they get home. We’ll be filming. We’ll be there to protect our children from our government. It’s come to that. I expect it will be a huge crowd.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

Mamdani is showing people how easy it is for your local government to help and uplift citizens. Then they'll realize it was just a matter of caring and no one really cared before. And they'll vote for the people that care in the future.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Our first ad of 2026! Because politics stuck in 2006 won't meet the moment. It's time to stand up to ICE, white supremacists, and the billionaire oligarchy.

According to witnesses, this is the masked ICE agent who shot the driver in Minneapolis. He shot from the side into the vehicle. This is him walking away from the crashed vehicle.

The United States is behaving like a rogue state. The President has carried out an illegal act of war, kidnapped a foreign head of state, and is now threatening military action against NATO allies. This is a constitutional crisis. Impeachment must be on the table.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

"We cannot sit in the false comfort of 'vote blue no matter who' when the 'blue' we’re voting for still doesn’t support universal healthcare, a living wage, ending forever wars and genocides, and meaningful climate justice."

No cherry-picking. No party filter. Just receipts. And a lot of powerful men are terrified right now. KASIE HUNT: “Do you have pictures of people engaged in sexual acts as part of this?” REP. SUBRAMANYAM: “Yes, there are people engaged in sexual acts.” @repsuhas.bsky.social

“I’d have no problem releasing the video” “I didn’t say that, you said that. Fake news.” 5 days apart 😬 (From @therecount.com )

X rolled out a new feature that accidentally exposed a massive covert foreign influence operation — more than one, actually — that is currently live on the platform. It’s a huge story and I wrote about it — and what it means for America — here: open.substack.com/pub/weaponiz...

Wow NYC, we see you @handsoffnyc.bsky.social!! This training is at FULL capacity, they had to turn people away…

“This is what corruption looks like. They’re stealing money from the American people’s pockets and depositing it into their bank accounts.” - Representative Jasmine Crockett

Ok so the Epstein files got released, amazing we love that. But nearly all the Republicans voted for it? I smell a trap, like it has been heavily redacted or altered to remove people and that is why the Republicans are backing it.

Puritanism

People are rising up and teaching each other how to resist and fight back, and it’s working. And yeah, we’re seeing a whole lot of stupid ICE agents stumbling around like they own the place. You cannot occupy a city and expect silence. The people who live there always answer back.

So we are finally protesting the right people. This is outside of the Heritage Foundation.

I love GameFAQS. Used it all the time back in the day. I wish I could remember the first game I looked up on it. Jade Cocoon maybe?

Nice

Jimmy Kimmel opens ‘Big, Beautiful Food Bank’ as Snap cuts hit families amid shutdown The late-night host invites food and essential donations at his Hollywood center to support Los Angeles charities www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican. It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong. Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up. The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

BREAKING: Minutes after Barack Obama’s message to end hunger in America, Vikings CEO Mark Wilf quietly donated $900,000 to Minnesota food banks. Obama personally thanked him and sent a handwritten note — a gesture that left Vikings fans deeply moved. #Skol #Vikings #NFL #Obama

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.
