I think the thing to note about being really, really cold is that it drains your energy COMPLETELY. so any of this stuff you can set up now, do it now. don't go to bed thinking you'll take the extra blanket out if you get cold. take it out now and put it where you can use it without getting up (etc)

Tom Suozzi represents the NY-3 district on northwestern Long Island. If there's any mayor or town council member in Syosset or Great Neck or wherever who wants to make their move, this is the time. Denounce this vote, promise you'd stand up to the goons, and you'd raise a million in a week.

Oh look, all the same Dems that voted for criminal bans on gender affirming care and medicaid coverage bans voted for the ICE gestapo funding.

Two unconventional signs of severe incoming weather: 1. A waffle house being closed 2. Ted Cruz hopping on a plane to take a vacation

In case you missed it: One of the ICE observers was pulled out of her car by CBP, who used facial recognition on her. Three days later, she learned her TSA-Pre clearance had been revoked.

218 people voted to have the Gestapo.

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

In 2026, we are marching forward together, and nobody is letting go of anyone's hands. So remember: no shopping on January 23. www.iceoutnowmn.com

The EEOC has just voted 2-1 to remove the entirety of its employer guidance on sexual harassment because portions of it protected trans people. This administration is pro sexual harassment while simultaneously claiming they protect women.

Hmm, all those "professoonal movie reviews" who couldn't be troubled to put it in their top 10, must have the sads. #Racism

Correction: SINNERS has the most Oscar nominations of all time!!

It deserved costume more than AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH

are they not monsters?

Many in Gaza have developed “refeeding syndrome,” which is a serious medical condition. It is treatable, but it is fatal if not properly managed. Refeeding syndrome occurs when food is suddenly reintroduced after a prolonged period of starvation — which Israel has subjected Gaza to multiple times.

This studio awards-season email is really matching the current mood in a way I’m not sure they intended.

right now the floor for me is abolish ICE and put every agent on trial and the average elected democrat is like what if we told them to cut it out

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

Refugee agencies estimate about 100 refugees living in Minnesota have already been swept up in an unprecedented focus on people with legal resident status. Agencies say these legal refugees are among the most highly vetted people in the United States.

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

The richest man on earth has made it his personal mission to go after the trans community. He had virtually unlimited wealth and can fund endless lawsuits, election campaigns, think tanks etc., all to hurt 1% of the population because he's a piece of shit father who won't accept his trans daughter.

Lil' comic about hope and longing 💗

I think people underestimate how big this is. Like a city-wide strike is not something that has happened in the US for nearly 100 years

This is Minneapolis: I’m at a major healthcare clinic (just here for a friend) and overheard the front desk staff mention they’ve had 97 missed appointments today. People aren’t getting medical care bc they’re afraid to leave home.

Kinda funny that Trump thinks "asylum" means other countries send people from insane asylums, and a) this is real life, not a ham-handed Idiocracy-type satire, b) he has surely been corrected several times but is incapable of updating his priors, & c) most media politely agree not to mention it.

Remembering how the Homeland Security secretary wrote about how she got mad and killed a puppy for misbehaving and presented her choice to shoot the puppy like it was a proportionate and relatable decision

if you scale 2026 down to a week, it’s not even 8am on the first day

Although the people of Minnesota are indeed as accustomed to this weather as anybody in the country, I will still say: They’re judicious about spending time outside in it, and they wouldn’t be out there if they didn’t really, really mean it.

ICE wants to turn this 470,000 square foot warehouse in Roxbury NJ into a mammoth holding cell. Love our Jersey activists speaking out loudly against it And the ALL REPUBLICAN Roxbury Town Council who voted unanimously to oppose it. (Also NJ.com and NJ Insider staying on this story)

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.

I find it necessary these days to affirm the obvious because the descent into fascism is mostly a continuous, not discrete, process so here it goes: these are internal checkpoints by secret police for what is routine freedom of movement.

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

We protect more vulnerable individual members of the pack by encircling them and confusing the wolves

If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

You aren't actually overreacting other people are sleepwalking.

Washington Post journalist Hannah Natanson's home was searched and her electronic devices seized by the FBI as part of a leak investigation. The Post was also subpoenaed. This should raise alarm bells for all Americans. Here's why 👇

Just met w/ senior officials from Denmark & Greenland. When Trump says we need Greenland for security, remember: they already allow US & NATO bases there & don’t oppose additional measures. This is a land grab by Trump. Don't be shocked if he tries to rename it Trump-land.

The fact that there hasn't been an eviction moratorium issued is the sort of thing that lawmakers should be forced to answer for. Abject, unnecessary cruelty in a crisis.

Man, they flashbanged a baby last night. What will justify a real response?

Given the stuff that's gone round about the way he treats his staff, especially female ones, and the way he allegedly takes credit for underlings' work, this just confirms my view of the "Doctor In Distress" keyboardist.

That’s a pic of an autistic woman with a traumatic brain injury who WAS NOT PROTESTING
