Something in me deep and quiet really believes singing together helps with this sort of thing. Can’t say how freaking moved I am by every instance of these.

At a church in Minneapolis that is hosting an anti-ICE singing vigil, which will later process through the neighborhood. They sing: “This is for our neighbors who are locked inside, together we will abolish ICE.”

Heroic

Weeeeeeee!

The Indignity of Being a Pedestrian

Was in a car stuck on an icy hill today, and it took all of sixty seconds for three people to appear behind it and get us moving.

‘They’ve got bigger guns than us, good luck everyone else with your whistles,’ basically. And the whistles have been more effective than the total non-effort Strong Mayor Boy’s been putting in. This blows.

Nay! It’s not one of them ruffians. It’s a hobbit by the size of it, but all dressed up queer.

When I say that Democrat Mayors don’t give one fuck about their residents this is what I mean. @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social doesn’t actually give a shit about ICE murdering people in his city.

we’re going to have to address at some point that ICE seems to be targeting queer/lesbian folks specifically. The murder of Renee Good with her wife in the car and the kidnapping of a different queer couple on Central yesterday show a disturbing pattern

Jesus christ its just straight up gestapo tactics

a major american city is being forced to close schools because armed government agents are raiding and pepper spraying and terrorizing children and teachers for social media content

Minneapolis Council Member Robin Wonsley told me Wed. every local official needs to oppose FBI taking over: "Definitely do not trust the FBI, that has given authority for ICE agents to terrorize our communities here in Minneapolis. There's no reason they should be owning the tragedy they caused."

This sounds like a good plan

It needs but one foe to breed a war, not two, Master Warden. And those who have not swords can still die upon them.

Never mind that this isn’t the definition of doxing in the first place, but you can’t dox a federal employee. If you’re a public servant, your identity isn’t “hidden.” It’s on public records. People can access those public records.

Guy who becomes an upzoning urbanist just so ICE doesn’t have any local parking lots to stage their raids in.

Dems are still approaching this wrong. I just saw a BBC host ask a state senator if Tim Walz should call out the National Guard. He says, "No, because Minnesotans know how to protest peacefully." THAT'S NOT WHO THE GUARD IS FOR. THE GUARD IS TO PROTECT THE PROTESTERS FROM LAWLESS FEDERAL AGENTS.

We need this energy from every elected leader in the Federal, State, and City level. Our communities demand it from us— and history will remember what we chose to do or not do. Which side of history do we want be on?

Cartoonish playground bullies, but with real guns and prison keys

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

We are getting reports of Border Patrol activity near Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis that happened during dismissal time today. Bystanders say officers shoved, tackled bystanders and handcuffed 2 school staff

“They got stuck in the snow because of the adverse weather that is in Minneapolis” -Noem It is literally basically summer for Minnesotans - it’s 42 and sunny. You can’t get your car stuck if you want to in 42 and sunny.

Listen. The nature of the Tolkien 'cordially dislik[ing] allegory' thing kinda means this article's right. The meaning is up for grabs. So the far right isn't misunderstanding, or stupid, or bad at reading, or whatever snotty take makes you right and them wrong.

Mood, with 5/6 exams passed

I am despondent. If anyone knows a better way to study for the PcM ARE than Amberbook, give a shout.

‘Strong. Independent. Woman.’ I chant as I exhaustedly clear another inch of snow off the walks again.

A year of John Howe illustrations over, onto a year of Alan Lee!!

It’s snowing!

The snake wears a scarf for a portion of the movie, but as a cold blooded animal, this shouldn’t help it stay warm at all.

Made tiny, fresh-grated ginger and cayenne cookies to fulfill my Sailor Moon dreams.

Today’s vibe is a loose pickle spear I found in my fridge in Crystal Light iced tea. Merry Christmas Eve, y’all.

On r/homedesign someone’s post title mentions a kitchen island, but doesn’t show one in the photos. All the comments are ‘do you mean that peninsula??’ And it’s everything I can do to stop myself from replying: but it’s several days old and I’ve missed the boat.

10 to 2 10 to 2 10 to 2

Éomer’s armor next, but idk why I chose to try all these new techniques while testing my janky script. 😫

Who is she, Gamling? She is the horse, the rider, and the whole moment.

I kept waking up to find myself still knitting, at like 2 am. Sure enough, I missed two slipped stitches seven rows back I was going to add to the pattern, and now I have to frog. Don’t knit sleepy, folks.

I’ve met my white whale

To share more about Minnesotans’ rights while observing immigration actions and ICE agents, Erika Zurawski, co-founder of the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee, joined Cathy Wurzer on Morning Edition.

I did it I made it it’s over it’s done

Felt compelled to take a walk in this weather.

It’s that time of year again—time to slather A&D on the millimeters-deep cracks in my fingers and sleep with my hands in vinyl gloves filled with lotion.

Just here to brag about my sister’s seafood-based Christmas ornament making skills.

Knitting, but with sensory problems, so you have to click the needles together five times every couple of stitches and drive needle tips into fingertips, to dispel the horrible feeling in your fingers and brain 😵‍💫

The three genders (men, women, and cashmere)

Stop the presses stop the presses there’s a new little Cinnabonk location by the Bonkchonk and that’s inordinately convenient for me.

The abyss, it stares back
