#UglyDogs If you are anywhere near the 11th Airborne Division in Alaska currently on standby for a deployment to Minnesota, please spread the word and protest to remind them of their oath to the Constitution. I can’t fly up there, but can assist from MN, if we get organized. #StandWithMN

They are sending elite cold weather units of the US of A against the wine moms and brown immigrants of #Minnesota?? Hahahaha We’re never shutting up about this ever, just like that confederate flag and that blizzard and Prince of course 😂 #IceOut

From November 2025. A perfect fall day at the sculpture garden 🙂

Respectfully, I am going to whisper to some of our white comrades a truth that should be more widely known: You definitely have some ancestors to be proud of, ancestors who refused white supremacy, and poured out their lives in many of these struggles over time. Time to claim your true history.

Forced face scanning of a U.S. citizen with zero cause, just bald racial profiling. This is tech fascism.

Yesssss we’re doing it

PSA for anyone who needs it, especially if you’re outside MN: by all means donate to specific politicians if they reflect your values but FFS do not donate to the DFL (our state Dem Party) to “counter the ICE terror campaign” because they are not doing that in any way, shape, or form.

Hung out with a couple of friends today, had a blast!

I wonder what the economic impacts of ICE are to the 17 Fortune 500 companies headquartered here, not to mention private organizations like Cargill. So. Much. Winning.

JUST IN: New ACLU class action lawsuit in Minnesota seeks to bar ICE from stopping Latino and Somali residents without probable cause. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I have been wondering, since I happen to be in the tech world, there are so many ways to make good money in tech… why would you build software to infringe on your fellow Americans’ constitutional rights? Do any of you know anyone who works on tech for ICE? #TechSky

Really excellent big-picture overview from CNN about the escalating and horrifying violence of ICE -- complete with an actually good use of "Snowfall"-style mixed media. We (read: I) complain a lot about the lack of context and vision in political media. This ain't that. www.cnn.com/interactive/...

"What we are witnessing is the storming of the state by the federal government," the Editorial Board writes.

We've lead charmed weather lives so far in January. Temperatures are +5F to +10F across MN so far this month. 🌡️ We're about to be reminded what persistent cold and occasional snow feels like. ❄️ MSP could bottom out -10 to -20 next Tue. #mnwx www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I hope I have a tenth of the courage of this lady if I ever need it. Legend.

She demanded lots of cuddles this #Caturday #UglyDogs

Weird, these Eiffel towers keep cropping up everywhere I go…

Update: The humans and dog all miss our boy very very much (we can’t read cats well, so unsure about them)… and as a bonus, these two have become extra clingy with the humans. Thank you #UglyDogs for all your kind words ❤️ And Happy Thanksgiving in advance!

Goodbye, my sweet boy 💔 #UglyDogs

The roti wanters #UglyDogs

Klondike Dog Derby canceled this year because of lack of snow on Lake Minnetonka… ☹️ #UglyDogs

Garlic bread

Fuck, fuck everything, fuck this, fuck me especially.

I started my new job this week. Alas, my life as a lady of leisure has come to an end! Please send me strength to deal with Teams and Outlook calendars again… #UglyDogs

Would appreciate a RT from the scientists for this one! We have 665 scientists in the spring database and I want to get us to about 1000 before we set the teachers loose on the database for January matches.

Since this has come up repeatedly in the last few days—no, you do not need to take down your bird feeder because of avian flu. The USDA is not worried about spillover from songbirds. The wild reservoirs are WATERFOWL.

People are getting a real education about leopards these days… like for instance, they do not change their shorts (GNU STP) and have questionable culinary tastes

Behold the marvel that is the dosa- this one has potato masala and onions inside! 📍Idli Street, Mississauga

Met my niece cat this weekend! #Caturday

Last chance to speak up for wolves in Alaska! Public comments on Board of Game proposals are due by TODAY (12/27) + there are several that target wolves. Some call for extending trapping seasons and one especially egregious proposal would allow ADFG to kill 73-80% of wolves in one unit.

Edge of Tomorrow is so entertaining! I mean, who doesn’t want to watch Cruise die on screen a dozen times 😂

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! 🎄 We don’t, so no tree to share but the first of my amaryllis is in bloom for the season 🙂

Ancestry (for dogs) has a hilarious bug spitting out the same poodle/ wolf/ coyote results for all kinds of dogs! But even better might be their description of the wolf, citing Balto as a famous one 😂 (Togo erasure!!!) Check out the r/doggyDNA sub on Reddit for more 😂 #UglyDogs
