Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

Six weeks into the immigration enforcement surge in the Twin Cities, observers say federal agents are employing violence more frequently and with little apparent restraint against citizens and noncitizens alike. (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

A U.S. president cannot be held accountable. Therefore, a U.S. president must never make a policy decision.

This is such an important point. This is why AOC & now Zohran freak out the establishment, because they have different plans for state power. Please read the entire thread.

there's a reason people have told stories of Tricksters fighting the powerful for as long as stories have been told

Here's a positive message about a politician: Council President Elliot Payne has been in the streets every single day working for his community. ICE even assaulted him for it. He leads by example, putting himself between ICE and the people even though he's at particular risk of harm as a Black man.

THIS SLAYS!!!

You should hold space for a little nonsense. It helps.

take a few minutes and devour this cover of Sweet Dreams. it gets better and better as the song progresses. from disco strings to electric guitar riffs, then to incredible harmonies, the richness it brings to the song! "Hold your Head Up!" "Keep looking, looking for something"

I need to see a mash-up of a drag queen and a blow-up costume out protesting ICE @sfsisters.bsky.social

This weekend, Wrecktangle Pizza in Lynlake, Minneapolis donated huge amounts of food to volunteers, immigrants, educators, and so on. Today ICE rolled up and fired tear gas outside their door.

Sorry, Congresswoman Craig, but when your first vote out of the gate under Trump 2 was to strip due process from immigrants, you showed us who you were. When last June you reiterated your support for ICE in a vile resolution praising them, you showed us who you were. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Three members of the Minnesota congressional delegation were denied access to a Minneapolis ICE jail on Saturday.

Cops do not answer to the elected officials who are allegedly at the top of their chain of command. Not sure they ever did, but they for sure haven't for quite a while now and I think it's one of our most fundamental problems.

I caught a mouse! Hmmm ok, well. A bottle of balsamic

Awoo y'all, listen to that sweet sweet AWOOOO. let the grief of the siren wash over you, give you peace, make you mad, whatever you need today

this seems to be actually a good article about ICE killing someone today in Minneapolis - it doesn't even use the passive voice! minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/07/i...

we don't need to run a dead-eyed sociopath who unapologetically oversaw one of the most disgusting eras of the Hennepin County Attorney's Office and continually votes for Trumps nominees/judges for governor. people hate Trump so much we can scribble "DFL" on a moldly pronto pup and it'd win by 6 pts

People are touch deprived... while at the same time incubated in a society that is intimacy avoidant

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

I don't know how to talk about what's going on. I don't know how to reckon with those we've killed to get oil, to get power. it wasn't me, but - i can't even tell how responsible I am. i guess this is grief, for the world, for my terrible country, for all those suffering.

guys, "the judges at the ICC are being sanctioned by the USA and can't access their iphones or bank accounts" and "why aren't any countries banning twitter or prosecuting elon musk for owning a site that manufactures CSAM" stories are the same story

sigh, I put away the Christmas tree today.

uh holy SHIT?

whoops, I missed the snow emergency declaration yesterday! oh right, I don't have a car.

Not to be controversial but I think we should use tools and resources to make people's lives less miserable instead of more

I ice skated today! no picture - the wind was really high and cold, so i didn't want to get my phone out and freeze my fingers. nice sun at least

those who predicted authoritarianism were both dismissed, & deeply misunderstood, by the media my latest for @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2042...

Think back to the murder of George Floyd: if bystanders physically intervened, Floyd might still be alive. But if he survived after that intervention, whoever intervened would be facing felony charges and prison time. It's one face of the moral horror of police impunity.

My hyacinths are blooming ? ? The Internet says they only bloom in spring, so does that mean I'm doing something right or something wrong?

I keep telling people ghosts are an appropriate Christmas decoration. These are the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future

it is a great pleasure in life to be able to donate towards transmen's top surgeries

Between Cyndy Martin and @amyklobuchar.com, the DFL continues to make it clear that progress, equity, and accountability are not their priority.

I did a cool thing today - i jogged to a grocery store, grabbed a few things, and jogged home with groceries in my backpack. i only bought a little, but it worked great - got a decent run in - I'm way out of running shape, but 1.5 miles plus some walking felt good.
