oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove. people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

Timberwolves hold a moment of silence for Alex Pretti

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

STATEMENT FROM THE NATIONAL BASKETBALL PLAYERS ASSOCIATION (NBPA) AND ITS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ON THE FATAL SHOOTING IN MINNEAPOLIS BY ICE

Crowd is massive, now overflowing Congress Plaza and taking up a block-long stretch of Michigan Avenue. Reminder: this event was only announced yesterday.

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Protesters chanting "We're not cold, we're not afraid, Minne[apolis/sota] taught us to be brave" in Boston tonight outside Government Center station.

Something a little different. I’m a bit of a tea guy, so here’s tonight’s brew. Sweet at first with a shift to a clove after taste with a little bit of a bite to it. It’s kinda pricey, but rather tasty and all profits go to help nonprofit working with tuberculosis.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov I met both of you while living in Tacoma and Spokane and volunteering on campaigns. I’m in Eau Claire, WI now, but still following what goes on “back home”. Please vote no on DHS funding and save our country.

@baldwin.senate.gov you’ve gotten 2 emails from me recently saying vote no on DHS funding. Now more than ever, vote no.

Hi I'm a visual forensics reporter at The Washington Post. Do you have any footage of today's ICE shooting? Please reach out. DMs open.

This rocks

Figured we could used something different to to look at so here’s my #coffee #shrine. Gotta figure out a way jazz it up a bit.

ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis and put the child on a flight to a detention center in Texas, despite a court ordering her release: www.startribune.com/agents-detai...

Sanity amid the madness. Thank you to @joshkaulwi.bsky.social for joining 35 other AGs on this AI “deepfake nonconsensual intimate images” lawsuit. www.wisdoj.gov/PressRelease...

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

This is wonderful

Singing

Tonight’s brew. I don’t know if valerian root actually works to help mellow you out or it’s just a placebo effect, but either way this tea is tasty and calming.

Ways to help Minnesota

Statement from the entire Minneapolis City Council in support of a General Strike and Day of Truth & Freedom on January 23rd.

I doubt they can think past “but, I’m mad now.” Meanwhile, here in Eau Claire van loads of donations are getting collected and trundled westward down I-94 to MPLS every day. Same thing happened during BLM.

Yay

Time for some #lifeaftercars I picked this up for Christmas, but had a bunch of books ahead of it in the to read pile. #waroncars

Baller. @schumer.senate.gov states are stepping up to the plate in your absence. @thirdway.bsky.social This is how you save the country.

@baldwin.senate.gov @klobuchar.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov Hello from Eau Claire, I’ll be staying home and finding ways to help out with the general strike in MPLS on the 23rd. It’s time to shut everything down until ICE and Trump are dealt with.

It’s a bit chilly

@baldwin.senate.gov Hello from Eau Claire. It’s time to hold hearings on ICE’s actions in Minneapolis and around the country.

@baldwin.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov It’s abundantly clear that @schumer.senate.gov doesn’t understand what’s going in our country, what needs done, or have the best interest of the country or party in mind. Time to vote him out as leader.

This is brills.

So, apparently, my entire (misspelled) town has been resettled. I did not know this. #EauClaire #EauClaireWI

I’ve found it endlessly interesting that every member of “the elite” who might be in a position to take over once the Trump Thing fails, kicks themselves in the dick. Every person, every single time, they take themselves out of the running.

@ourstreetsmn.org @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social @activetowns.bsky.social @sgoodyear.bsky.social @transalt.org We need a contest for Worst Iced Up Sidewalks In America. Post a pic or 2 of the sidewalks and a screen cap of what your city claims to be doing about it. Here’s Eau Claire, WI. 3rd-Niagara

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Jesus, fuck, man. You voted for this? Remind me again why I’m supporting your party?

Unfortunately your post doesn’t explain how not getting hit by a shin high car bumper leads to injury to the torso. Also, please stop the pathetic lying.

@schumer.senate.gov dear god Chuck. No. That’s not the message. Please retire.

@cnn.com fuck off, losers.
