people don't know how to handle a mostly virtuous person who is also massively annoying

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

Let’s all raise a glass of Herb Ertlinger’s fruit wine.

The news day of January 30, 2026.

I don't remember this movie being this hilarious.

Catherine O'Hara is as much of a "good in absolutely everything, no matter how good the thing itself was" actor as Philip Seymour Hoffman.

i am utterly bereft

Oh, COME ON!!!!!!

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

new: Minnesota Timberwolves chaplain and activist Matt Moberg FaceTimed me from an ICE blanketed parking lot about his empathy for Anthony Edwards, Wemby's provocative statement about the Spurs, and the value (if any) of athletes speaking out. we ended early because ICE tried to arrest his mom.

The administration story is that Liam Ramos mother refused to take her son. In actuality she was inside with another child. If she opened the door they would all be detained. She literally had to make Sofie’s choice. I can’t. www.telemundo.com/noticias/not...

My position on L'affaire d'Stancil is that if you don't want to work with someone who submits himself humbly as a contributor to the work, then turns around and uses his considerable platform to evangelize for the cause in a way that constantly decenters himself, you aren't serious about the work.

ilhan omar said last night it’s about retribution and intimidating us into submission, not about immigration. she talked about citizens hiding because what’s happening in the streets here is like the countries they fled and her family hid, then fled. but where can you go from the US now?

I’m a little jealous of folks who exist in a bubble right now. I don’t have this privilege, and I gotta say it’s really rough out here. While many are stepping up, and MANY have come around, I’d estimate that 25-35% of our community doesn’t understand what’s happening or is celebrating it.

Whatever we’re doing, it’s not enough.

DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold. It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.

Cheap shitty cowboy theatrics from Lu Dort, but Ant needs to chill the fuck out and move on.

I hope Stancil can link up with a group that isn't high on their own supply.

I truly cannot fathom cutting Stancil out of RR. His earlier videos provided such a ray of hope for me, at least, to witness a slice of how our neighbors were organizing to push back.

Congrats on ensuring there is less informed on-the-ground press coverage of what’s happening here, I guess?

Yes.

So is Amy going to appoint Angie or Dean to fill her seat?

She's going to win. Just a reason to put our heads down and make sure we have big wins in the house and senate so she become irrelevant.

USA Hockey has implemented a trans sports ban that applies to recreational "beer leagues." This isn't about fairness, it's about pushing trans people out of society. www.nytimes.com/athletic/700... Bypass here. archive.ph/JWufg

this is why it’s important that the media doesn’t make it seem like ICE are just in minneapolis. it’s all over minnesota brainerd is two hours north of the twin cities, not a huge city at all. and they showed up for a vigil to support these workers

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

“in theater” is a crazy way to describe minneapolis

This machine yub nubs fascists.

That ‘can we go back to regular police brutality’ comment has me reeling. Because once you hear it, you realize that even when it’s not phrased that bluntly, that’s the underlying demand a lot of white people are making. I'm not going to pretend that is okay.

Signal will never message you like this. If you get a message like this, SOMEONE IS TRYING TO HACK YOUR SIGNAL. DO NOT GIVE THEM THAT CODE.

Shit is worse in Minneapolis post-Bovino. More harassment of observers than before. More following to homes. But the mutual aid/labor resistance hasn’t gone anywhere. We gotta do our part. All of us have to, as Mpls teacher Dan Troccoli said, “Not just appreciate but emulate.”

Haven't watched with audio yet, but this has Becka Thompson vibes.

An extraordinary document. Read it. “Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

Imagine having Bruce Springsteen AND Billy Bragg release songs about how much you fucking suck and how much the people fighting you rule you within the same 48 hours

This message comes to you from a former Utah constituent who called Mitt Romney about his vote to impeach Trump.

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

For example the video yesterday of "ICE IS GASSING A DAY CARE RIGHT NOW!!" is the daycare right up the street from my house. I about shit my pants and raced out the door until I saw it was actually from Saturday. I already dealt with that daycare gassing, thank you. Please don't lie to me for likes

2/ "Make no mistake: The thousands of new recruits to ICE were selected with violence in mind. Recruitment ads targeted male-dominated places and spaces where violence is either required or valorized... The content of those ads makes it clear that ICE is the place to scratch the violent itch."

I don’t know who needs to hear this (ahem, local media), but not one single word from these monsters is true. Quit amplifying their propaganda. They will never show weakness or make any concessions. It is a strategy for inflicting more harm. The only “win” is abolition.

Similarly, I'd love Mary Moriarty or Keith Ellison to offer $50k to ICE/CBP agents to rat out the Pretti shooters. "You think Donald's actually going to give you your bonus?"

Northfield is a town of 20,000 people in southeast #Minnesota, outside of the metro region. That 20,000 people includes two college populations. Agents in plain clothes raided a local bakery this morning, and masked agents continue to raid local apartment complexes. That's where we're at.

I feel like corporations are waiting for the dems to take power again before they'll allow the stock market to collapse.

Genuinely not surprising given how these assholes drive

Minnesotans have a choice on February 3rd: Do you want a senator who enabled Trump's cruel ICE chaos? Or a senator who has always stood up for safety for our immigrant neighbors? To me, the answer is clear.

it is insanely cathartic to see craig getting demolished HARDER in the rural areas and it's hysterical to see the negative messaging tests when craig is "look at her voting record and look at her statements" while flanagan's is "but what if she was the fraud ringleader all along," they have NOTHING

just saw 4 ice agents go up to a house and knock and within 1 minute there were 30 people out whistling and they left. we will not take our foot off the gas

I know we all want heroes, but I do not understand why people keep circulating this old quote. Talk to someone in Minneapolis. Has MPD intervened? No. Has anyone been fired? Again, nope.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
