Please take a moment to listen to Professor Timothy Snyder: Thoughts on MN laws, language & leadership. It is in how we trust the law, use the right language, and respect the real leaders, that we will get out of this & become a better country. #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

@usmcangryveteran.bsky.social says it all right here:

just an extraordinary vibe shift rippling across every cultural, business and political context all at once the elite cover for indulgence of evil shit collapsed in one weekend

With so much chaos in the news, #SistersInLaw podcast is launching a new midweek episode called #SistersSidebar, where we will answer more of your questions. The first episode drops this Wednesday. Keep those questions coming!

Wolfers: This is the most interventionist government of my lifetime. It’s the least conservative government of my lifetime. When you are the richest country in the world, maybe you are not the ones who should be tearing down your existing institutions. But that’s exactly what this president is doing

New at The Watch: I dug into archival witness accounts of the British siege of Boston prior to the American Revolution. They are remarkably similar to what we're seeing in Minneapolis. open.substack.com/pub/radleyba...

This is BS. No. This is bullshit!

Statement from the Minnesota Timberwolves team chaplain with alt text (ht @gregolear.bsky.social)

An analogy…”Swim down” should be our new code word for the “resistance” ‼️

Don't let trump "ICE out" the Epstein files. In fact, start calling it the "trumpstein" files.

After everything we’ve seen the past few days…are we feeling confident about this gang giving up power after the 2028 election?

Two updates: First, the video is (finally) available on TikTok: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8fEdxrK/ Second, here’s the full-length newsletter post: www.stevevladeck.com/p/206-admini...

It’s -2000 degrees below zero. You just flashbanged yourself twenty feet from the front desk. Three hours sleep cause locals who hate you bang garbage cans outside your room all night. The Home2Suits has fallen and you’re not getting that signing bonus for another 4.5 years. Ass. It’s all ass, dude.

“I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say ‘The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the f*ck they want and make sh*t up as they go along.’” — George Conway

My latest: Conservative “womanosphere” influencers are panicking as their female audiences turn against ICE. Riley Gaines: ““I encourage you, actually, like, I am begging you, I am pleading – think critically, think independently, think for yourself.” open.substack.com/pub/numbertw...

New in PN: The regime's mind-bending lies are a tactic "The VP told them they could kill anyone who annoyed them. Pretti annoyed them. So they killed him. Now the lies Bovino and Noem are telling about Pretti’s death are intended to encourage further extrajudicial executions and likely will do so."

BREAKING: Michael Che just perfectly slammed ICE agents for being d*cks. This is spot on.

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

“Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them. If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back.” — President Bill Clinton, 1/25/26

We get that Republicans want to argue that “you shouldn’t” protest or film agents, or that it’s “a bad idea.” But it’s a right. That means you don’t get to decide whether someone gets to do it if that’s how they choose to protest. It also means agents can’t kill people who do.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

This is NOT who we are…👇 This is NOT AMERICAN!! 🇺🇸✨

Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!! 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

The person who publishes the Free Press — where the words “Minneapolis” and “Minnesota” never appear tonight — also runs CBS News.

Kash Patel today: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want." Really?

Disgraceful!

This is the single funniest excuse he could have come up with for not wanting to be booed in public

If you’re able, please support this verified GoFundMe for Alex Pretti’s family. And if you’re not in a position to donate, sharing it far and wide matters just as much. It’s at $300K and counting.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk. Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared. Well, here’s a link: georgetown.box.com/v/Vladeck-IC...

There are four living former presidents…

You mean like this?

Join us in honoring Alex’s memory this week by wearing black.

I feel seen

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/
