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.

Jarrett Stidham:

[Jesse Pinkman voice] They couldn’t keep getting away with it.

The Texans would do well to employ an All-DPI offense.

I bet the Texans run it on 1st down.

That’s the coat that killed my father.

That’s the coat three kids use when they stand on each other’s shoulders to get into an R-Rated movie.

Knowing what kind of person Dez Bryant is, I will always find joy in watching that replay of him definitely not catching it. I could watch his reaction to not catching it all day.

Opened the app to see people debating what constitutes a catch in the NFL. Some things never change.

Not all playoff games can be Uncut Gems. Sometimes you get Mr. Deeds.

Hug line for Josh Allen starts in the parking lot

Sports App, BABY

Bills fans will never know a playoff game without multiple hours of clenching

Anyone call it a Crum Shot yet?

Trying a new thing where anytime someone criticizes me I just start lighting shit on fire. Go criticize the flames assholes.

Fun fact: The Rams and Bears have a combined 22 games this season that were decided by one score. Thats a lot, right? Seems like a lot.

Hey folks Calvary Food Shelf has been helping out people in Minneapolis for 30 years, and now they’re ramping up to meet the crisis, including doing home deliveries so people don’t have to risk going out. They’re just over halfway to their current goal—let’s get them all the way, shall we?

ABOLISH ICE NOW

“Maybe”

Happening Now: Students have walked out of school and are protesting against ICE in Saint Paul, Minnesota

She said she was headed to a doctor's appointment. Federal agents still attacked her. Earlier today in Minneapolis, journalist Amanda Moore (@noturtlesoup17.bsky.social) documented a tense, chaotic federal operation near 34th Street and Park Avenue.

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

It was depressing enough to realize I’m older than 99.9% of players in the NFL. It’s way more depressing to realize I’m too old to even COACH for the Steelers.

It’s pretty fucked up to sack Aaron Rodgers instead of debating his ideas

Numerous Teams Express Interest In Aaron Rodgers Playing Elsewhere

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

His wife’s name is Grok.

Here is a brief recap of every Packers postseason since they won their last Super Bowl. ...Because I'm a miserable Green Bay fan and I'm using Bluesky as therapy, that's why. A thread:

Ball don’t lie penalty.

Herbert got karate chopped in the head. That’s not a penalty. We all know karate chops have been legal in the NFL since the Karate Chop Rule Game of ‘88.

This is literal Nazi/Gestapo stuff. This is *exactly* what the Constitution is in place to prevent. "Abolish ICE" is the baseline. Yet most elected Democrats are too cowardly to say it - including many (like Markey) who held this position 6 years ago.

People are already trying to write George Kittle’s career obituary 20 minutes after his injury. Chill.

"At schools, volunteers are forming human chains as students and employees enter and leave, with whistles to blow if ICE shows up. Volunteers—many of them moms already involved at their schools—divvy up tasks, such as delivering groceries to immigrant families..." www.wsj.com/us-news/insi...

I understand what Marshall is saying. But this is far from an isolated incident. This is who LaFleur has proven himself to be time and time again. Many of Green Bay’s worst losses in his tenure can be traced back to his absolutely gutless play calling.

By the way, as an adult who spent the day at an anti-ICE protest, I understand there are significantly more important things to care about. But I can’t help but feel really bad about this particular loss.
