Literally two of my favorite things🔥 Blasting the CO2 extinguisher is a job we fight over for our show 😄

At this point I'm pretty sure the ICE motto is "Waste, Fraud, and Abuse"

Also, this is a local shop to order from if you want loon gear: fuzzyloondesigns.com

Before all this *gestures* started, 3 of my favorite things about reading r/Minnesota were: - First-timers asking for advice on surviving winter and getting flooded with help - First-timers is talking about how much they loved snow! - Visitors asking how they can see loons

Minnesota and the ICE situation: WHHYYY are so many people believing the folks who ALWAYS LIE just because they said the one thing that we want to hear? ICE was all over our city yesterday - harder than before. We NEED to know how many permanent ICE positions they've added in MN. 1/2

This is why I’ll always have respect for the people willing to have these discussions. Sometimes, it makes a difference.

State Farm is fucking us over. Second big claim in 20 years, and both times they've fucked us over. So... any insurance companies NOT completely suck ass? Honestly, we could have paid for both events AND had a lot of money in our children's college funds if we hadn't been funding State Farm 🤬

We need reparations for our immigrant communities who've been brutalized and isolated.

Rep. Tom Emmer (R-epugnant) was on C-Span this morning bullshitting to the Senate. Interesting note: The cities listed here? All within Sherburne County, which is the only one of six counties in CD-6 with a formal agreement with ICE. Here's the feed: www.c-span.org/event/senate...

Donald Trump, ICE, and CBP retreat defeated from another American city.

My "ICE is a legitimate law enforcement agency" statement has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my statement.

🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

It's now routine for the Trump admin to charge people with serious crimes they have no evidence for, no ability to prosecute, for the sake of intimidation and headlines. www.startribune.com/after-assaul...

But also here's Tucker with his nibble pig 🥹

I didn't see Red Dawn until I was an adult (and have only seen the original). It didn't make any logistical sense, which just left me annoyed.

I’ve never been that comfortable with the idea of patriotism but I’m pretty comfortable with being Minnesota patriotic. This really is who we are. Come out and have a sloppy! We got the auger.

Time to restart that email campaign again sickos! #AEWDynamite

"I'm a teacher in Minneapolis...We still have about 200 students who are affected. They are being robbed of their education." - ICE Protester outside of Target discusses the effects of ICE on her students LIVESTREAM ⬇️

Disgusted by Tom Emmer? If you're anywhere near CD6, you should be here tomorrow.

what is with these people and dogs?

Gallup and its chair, Jim Clifton, have long postured as non-partisan, but this move is a distinctly partisan in this environment. Like so many other institutions, Gallup is destroying brand integrity in the service of fascism.

I am willing to bet a fair number of folks who answered "no" helped out in ways like donating money or food or holding down the fort for their family members who are doing the front-line work.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Video of the ICE-kidnapping victim under a sheet. You will also hear the officer say he saw them moving. I am inclined to believe the person was alive.

Hey, can we get some more news out of Saint Paul re: this?

My sense of Minnesota today is that there’s less tear gas and the same amount of unlawful detention, destruction of families, loss of livelihood, people in hiding. There is less tear gas at places like Lake and Lyndale, so it’s not making news.

JFC they are causing more fucking trafficking and crime in our state than anything 🤬

I was named after my grandma whose name at birth wasn't the one I was named after. That was kinda trippy. But, I'm glad I was named after who she chose to be!

McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man? LYONS: Yes mam McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands? LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question McIVER: Do you think you're going to hell, Mr Lyons?

@housedemocrats.bsky.social, where's the motion to vacate the speaker?

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

Emmer is twitching more than normal 👀

Kristi Noem's state.

These subhuman freaks are utterly unable to handle dissent and activism. Keep doing it.

PLEASE, friends from out state and other states - spread this! It's true. They are still hitting our area up here in St. Cloud and the surrounding rural communities just as hard. ICE is not backing off. It was an optics statement from the admin and it doesn't mean jack shit.

Everyone within reach of this office should be here on Thursday: On Thursday, February 12 at 4:00pm at Emmer's Otsego Office. The AFL-CIO is organizing a protest to pressure Congressman Emmer to stand with Minnesotans.

Remember when people screamed we needed to put cameras everywhere for safety, and when anyone said "but couldn't they be used to spy on us," they lashed out at the 'nay-sayers,' calling them worriers? They're using the cameras to spy on our kids. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Based on a true story.

The choice to frame this rhetorically as a negotiation *with ICE and DHS* rather than, you know, a decision about their future made by their rightful superiors in the popularly elected legislature is, to me, incredibly grating.

I think the thing that infuriates me most about the spineless Dem leadershits currently wasting oxygen in this party is that I get why people like Stephen Miller do what they do. They’re just evil assholes. Schumer and Jeffries were supposed to be the adults in the room, and they’re gobbling paste.

We’re with you all the way, Amber. 💙💛 It takes strength and courage to stand up for what’s right.

Minnesotans believe that every child, regardless of race, gender, the wealth of their family, or zip code, deserves the best education possible. That’s why I sued Trump and won this agreement protecting over half a billion dollars for Minnesota schools every year.

....

When people like Pam Bondi fearmonger that our "Whole system will collapse" if the full Epstein files are released, they aren't talking about our system itself. They're talking about their place inside the system and control over it. And that should absolutely collapse. Today.

this broke me.

Here's the updated site!

🚨I hate having to write this. He was scheduled for surgery this morning, but our family vet found his red blood cell count had dropped. They told us if he bleeds during surgery there, he could die on the table because they don’t have blood products.

In case you missed it, I have a thread about the French being messy. The thread ends with video of the anchor destroying targets. She's that good.
