Yesterday I installed a new video doorbell at work, but in a startling break from tradition, I removed the previous two doorbells first.

Wife’s o.b. told her she can go to work and home and nowhere else. Because ICE knocked over a pregnant person and stepped on her. So they’re just advising patients to lock down.

Last week I vouched for this account, which is indeed run by local folks. Unfortunately a week later I can't vouch for the quality of their content and folks should probably not rely on their posts for accurate information.

On my morning walk today I saw this one, which is one of my favs, on a power box. See many poster designs here: defend612.com/art/

Helicopter (Blackhawk maybe? I didn't take aircraft as a special interest when I specced my autism.) flying low and slow west along 94 toward downtown Saint Paul. It went right over the 3M headquarters a few minutes ago. Not showing up on ADS-B Exchange.

I love you, Minneapolis, and, as always,

Chaperoning a multi school Walk Out to the Minnesota State Capitol in protest of 🧊 kind of solidified a theory. We’re being attacked for our politics, but there’s a whole generation living through this that are pissed. MN is only going to get more progressive… (1/2)

Today, I had the honor of standing with Saint Paul Public School students marching at the Capitol to support their neighbors who are being terrorized by the unlawful surge of ICE agents on our streets.

NGL, watching my kids and a very significant portion of their school walk out and march down to the Capitol got me more than a little emotional. There were a lot of students from all over town there (more than it looks like from the pic, since I didn’t have a good angle).

For ease of navigation and sharing, I have turned my little list into a website: standwithminnesota.org

WE GOT MORE VIDEO OF ICE FALLING ON ICE

A big THANK YOU to our employee Lacy as well as Kaleb Lutterman, and the local 3D printing makers who've been keeping us supplied with anti-ICE whistles. And thank you to everyone who's stopped by to pick one up! You're making a huge difference in this very difficult time.

Did the Dilbert guy convert in time????!!

“despite never submitting any of the paperwork they sent me—not the background check or identification info, not the domestic violence affidavit, none of it—ICE had apparently offered me a job.” Jfc ya’ll. @laurajedeed.bsky.social for Slate. Link provided by Laura. web.archive.org/web/20260113...

Folks: this is the new link to the same doc you may have seen earlier with Twin Cities businesses to support or avoid--now on Dreamwidth. Please tag @iceoutnow.bsky.social if you see anyone else sharing info about said businesses. Thanks!

Create space between your teeth with your tongue. Lower your shoulders. Yawn. Shake your head. Stick your tongue all the way out, and back in.

Anything less than abolishing ICE is unacceptable. I don't want to hear people talk about training these motherfuckers or throwing more money at them. The entire institution needs to be permanently disbanded. Do not let politicians sell you on anything less.

It's nice to me that the organic* anti-ICE protest doesn't look like Hong Kong's, or Paris's, or other established modes of semi-spontaneous public resistance. It looks like American doing what Americans are the best in the world at: driving around and being obnoxious

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

Incredible photo.

they want you to think minneapolis is dangerous. more of brass solidarity band performing today at powderhorn park at the anti ICE protest after their agent killed renee good. the band is made up of community members around george floyd square and they bring joy to every action they appear at

A frankly astounding Humble Bundle of about 70 books by women SFF writers, including the Iskryne series by @pennyvixen.bsky.social and me and my first two Karen Memory novels, for $25 for the whole bundle, benefitting youth mental health. www.humblebundle.com/books/fierce...

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

Hey MSP people who want to join the MSP feed, here are instructions! If you ever DM'd or tagged Ian asking to be added, that won't work -- you need to fill out the form.

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

I bought a security system on sale on Black Friday. We’ve lived in our house for over a decade and the worst criminal activity that I’ve been aware of in our neighborhood in that time is the copper wire theft that took out our streetlights a couple months ago. So it wasn’t an urgent thing. 🧵 1/5

Great news: we have secured a temporary pause to Trump’s latest assault on the most vulnerable Minnesota families. My team and I will be in court working to permanently block Trump’s illegal and deeply cruel actions.

Timeline Cleanse: Please enjoy this photo of a praying mantis that was sitting on top of my car windshield, but the angling and lighting were so weird it looks like a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field in Iowa.

FUCK ICE AND FUCK ALL POLICE

It fixes nothing, but maybe you need to see this right now.

Lmao apparently people near me are freaking out about a non binary teacher And I am watching the entire community come together to dunk on the much smaller group of transphobic dipshits and it is DELICIOUS The local newspaper even snarkily wrote about them and I am CRYING

Every day is Shut the Fuck Up Friday in this house

Good morning

He has sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people He has kept among us Standing Armies without Consent of our legislatures For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us For protecting them from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States

This morning at the Whipple building I watched an ICE goon fall on our real, straight-from-the-sky, Minnesota ice. I have no video of it, but I need the world to know it happened.

No idea who the artist is, but this is awesome.

Good morning

"abolish ice" doesn't seem so extreme anymore, does it, you preposterous, normalizing fucks

Today the sirens mean fuck ICE.

I learned she’s a local mom, my friends knew her. And this morning fellow moms at my kid’s elementary began mobilizing to help our members of our school community living in fear. I don’t know what sense to make of any of this but it’s making me so emotional. All we have is each other.

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

You know what’s a cool game? FUMES. Still in early access, but the basic gameplay loop is there, it feels amazing, and the vibes are immaculate in a very grungy low-poly CRT kinda way.

Wanna see a rhythmic notation that pisses me off? (Time signature is 6/4.)

I still have to use Windows for some things and it seems to be just about every day now I'm seeing complaints about it sucking in new ways. So here's a little list of tools I use to make Windows not suck by debloating virtually everything out of it that makes it bad and making it more usable. 🧵
