Happy "None of Us Will Be Shoveling This Snow" Day for all who celebrate, which is all of us.

Here's some nice counterprogramming for the images the world has been seeing out of Minneapolis for the last few months

My family gets all of our care at HCMC. Every family I’ve supported with rides to medical appts over the last 2 months has also been at HCMC. This hospital is so critical.

I have gotten all of my care from them for many years now-several specialists, as well as our family practice doc. This would be a personal loss for me as well as the community at large. This would leave a massive hole in our health system. Can't let this happen.

Don't let the brutalist architecture fool you. This building is full of warm, best-in-their-field medical professionals. HCMC has been my family's medical system of choice for two decades, from birth to death and everything in between. (1/2) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

This is absolutely incredible. Nice work, @ziibiing.com

“It’s my expectation, and we will hear more from them in the next day or so, that we are talking days, not weeks and months, [remaining] of this occupation,” Walz said. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

There was a clearly coordinated uptick in Federal abductions of legal observers/commuters on Friday. As far as I know, this is the first media account of it. Good on this commuter for getting the story out there. It needs to be told, otherwise it's just Homan's word against nobody's.

From the somewhat blurry images posted at store.nytimes.com/products/new..., it looks like four days' NYT front pages since Jan. 8 may have been missing a mention of Minneapolis or Minnesota: Jan. 12, Jan. 21, Jan. 22, and Feb. 3. Still, that would mean Minn. has been on the cover 28 days out of 32.

If you want to see hundreds of Minnesotans smiling in one place, check out the last day of the Lake Harriet ice shanties. Open until 4:00.

No mention of Minneapolis or Minnesota on the front page of the NYT today. When did that happen last? @chrissteller.bsky.social

DOJ just posted a news release confirming. www.justice.gov/opa/pr/anti-...

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

I just learned that China only has one time zone. It's basically the same size and shape as the continental US, which has four time zones.

@sorenwithward8.bsky.social please don't go down this road. We win by being better than them, with our morals and ethics intact, not by pandering. This is a routine bureaucratic matter about liquor licenses, not the key to defeating the fascists.

"MPR News has learned that the police chief in the small southern Minnesota city of St. Peter intervened Thursday afternoon to prevent federal immigration agents from arresting a local resident" who had been observing federal agents. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

We can't be afraid, and we should all be willing to assert our constitutional rights in the face of cowards. Also, ICE is on Bluesky?

Now: Bruce Springsteen sings “Streets of Minneapolis” in Minneapolis

Unfollowing people on here who apparently think it's funny or good for a Minnesota man to break a murderer out of prison for murdering a Minnesota man. We've had enough murder.

The @bikepackingcom.bsky.social folks put together a map of all the Alex Pretti memorial rides happening this weekend. Find one near you! @bikesky.social

Tone shift

"Shut it all down until it’s safe for every Minnesotan to drive to a sports venue without being rammed, beaten, abducted or killed." Damn, Jim Souhan. Gift link: www.startribune.com/jim-souhan-m...

Minneapolis in 2026

It's packed at Glam Doll. They're open until 2. Go support them if you're nearby.

It's so quiet at the scene.

Cable news is generally trash, but Dana did an excellent job exposing this asshole's lies.

Anderson, it's ok to put on a hat.

i havent shut off the notification for this form and it has just been vibrating every minute in my hand. just a steady beat.

We are miles past "consent of the governed" here in Minnesota. Are we a co-equal state in the Union or not? Are Minneapolitans equal citizens under the Constitution or not?

13 years ago I was in a bad bike accident on my way home from work, at 26th and Nicollet. When I was lying in the middle of the intersection after the crash, people eating at the restaurant on the right came running to help me, including a doctor. (1/2)

This, but for the entire city and state.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

To repeat: Abolish ICE.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Glam Doll Donuts was closed yesterday in solidarity. Then this happens in front of their store the next morning.

How it How it’s started going

Why was there no local news helicopter video of the protest today? The only one I could see from the ground was our favorite, the State Patrol helicopter.

A general strike, in this part of the country at this time of year localized entirely in your metropolitan area? Yes.

It’s amazing the full force of the federal gov’t law enforcement apparatus is being deployed to Minnesota because the cruel dipshits in charge refuse to believe that white folks are willingly putting their lives on the line to protect their neighbors. They think there must be a nefarious reason.

They're going after kids. Outside my own kids' doctor's office. Kids.

Setting the heat in my car to recirculate because there have been multiple deployments of the green gas along my route home from work.

As expected, it's like the court order doesn't exist (the court order that was just reiterating the law). Are there any elected officials talking about this? The governor said we should hit record on our phones, but someone has to alert the phone-havers to the presence of 🧊 in the first place.

I can't believe I'd never been to Can Can Wonderland before! This place is great, and the perfect antidote to the bullshit. The fascists don't know how to have fun like this.

Tim Miller interviewed Chris Ostroushko, the guy from the other night who channeled all of our feelings. Get this guy on Rogan and we win. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d83v...

Guys we’re not gonna destroy our own city or each other for these Nazi shitloafs, stop fantasizing about doing that it’s weird.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
