Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.

Good morning from Echo Base

Minnesota fighting ICE/CBP:

Star Trek shows us what we can be. Star Wars shows us what we have to do to get there.

Trump didn't rise because society was so broken, we were not in 2016 or 2024 Weimar Germany, riven with economic hardship that caused people to turn to a dictator. he rose because on feminism, race relations, and LGBT rights were were making progress and it freaked a lot of people out.

Senior White House official says local and state police in Minneapolis “have been ordered to stand down and surrender.” What?

Note: Denmark is not Norway.

If I could force everyone in the US to learn about one historical phenomena it would be Encolusre. Capitalism has robbed people of the very basic elements of culture, and that is a deep spiritual violence, which people are hardly aware they have suffered from

If you're like me, I'm sure you have all sorts of out-of-town friends and family who are asking how they can help. @ziibiing.com put together this site which is so incredibly helpful. www.standwithminnesota.com

Reminder that whistles and honking are literally preventing detentions, and therefore deportations and probably death. A fucking candle. Fuck the Strib.

The mainstream media has collapsed in 2 ways: Gradually, then suddenly Whatever was expected with the right-wing capture of CBS News...it's worse. I looked into its MPLS shooting "internal bleeding" propaganda, a historically bad act of journalism My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/cbs-...

There is a not-small part of my Minnesotan brain that is happy I finally get to take out my “serious cold weather” clothing

That is a LOT of ICE raids in Burnsville that I have not been hearing about...

Our blog posts get auto-posted to social media. I don't use FB myself, but went in there to post this. I don't expect to see similar attacks from any Bsky users, but figured I should elaborate on my personal opinion here.

This is what they said about him then. This is what they say about us now. This is who they always have been.

the only reason to hope that trump survives his term is i dont want an animatronic vance at the disneyland walk of presidents but other than that

art is always a reflection of culture, notice the trend really blew up after trumps first campaign and then election www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

Musk is brilliant at spectacle only, but AI isn’t won by vibes. The race now rewards capital depth, model iteration speed, data access, and boring infrastructure at scale. That favors OpenAI, Google, Microsoft. Lone-wolf AI plays burn cash fast. Bubbles pop when reality bills arrive.

Whoa! Baby baby baby bay bay bay… Baby baby bay bay beh!

If you’re feeling stressed, I need you to log into Netflix and watch “I Need You To Leave” with Tim Robinson. Every episode. All of it. Start to finish. You’re welcome. “Ya ya ya ya ya yaaaa. Yaaaa ya ya ya ya!”

Shush now

minneapolis today

wait

THIS. LOUDER. DAILY

THIS HEADLINE IS ALL I WANTED THANK YOU MINNEAPOLIS

I love this for him. J6 creep.

Right wing extremist and pardoned J6 rioter Jake Lang attempts to lead a march into our vulnerable neighborhoods and gets utterly humiliated on the streets of downtown Minneapolis before he can get one step anywhere.

hope trump does not pardon him www.abc12.com/news/crime/b...

how stupid is it to decide to go after us in minnesota in the middle of january? trump or ice or both? they are lucky its been as warm as it has been, now they get a taste of our winter, i only wished it would blizzard on them

Right-wing influencer Jake Lang is stuck in a window recess against Minneapolis City Hall. He’s soaked with freezing water after counterprotesters hurled water balloons at him. bit.ly/4baGhJn

We’re so proud of the way community showed up to protect our neighbors today. Just as a federal judge ruled last night, we know that observing and showing up for each other is not a crime. We need everyone to keep patrolling in the streets as we fight against the hate coming at us.

Don’t you come to Minneapolis and try to burn a Quran, you J6 Nazi nitwit.

He gave a bunch of Nazi salutes and out came the super soakers (pic from Mpls subreddit)

Let’s be absofuckinglutely clear: the only reason Jake Lang made it out of our city in one piece is because counter-protesters showed the decency to still see him as human. Don’t let the press spin that. Proud of my city. Because we are not like them.

"Fascists are calling in bomb threats because the president decided to make us a meme"

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

my main thought after watching episode 2 of star trek star fleet academy is the Betazoid do not act in a way that makes sense even a thousand years in the future but i guess... also, they need better effects on their robots, they look so very animated
