Americans will really use anything but the metric system (complimentary)

"The world isn’t ending. A world is ending. Our job is to midwife the next one."

Finally wrote about it. "I’m calling it the Cookie Theory of Collective Action: Everyone has a role, anyone can start small, and joy is an essential part of the broader fight for your community." snackstack.net/2026/01/30/t...

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday. 📷️: Aaron Lavinsky

“Agents are at my door right now” In addition to Don Lemon the Trump regime also Arrested Georgia Fort👇🏽 for covering the church protest (where an ICE field director is a pastor)

An uprising of children in a DHS concentration camp in Dilly, Texas! They focused on the mistreatment of Liam Conejo Ramos, a 5-year-old from Minnesota, abducted with his father by ICE last week Immigration attorney Eric Lee could hear shouting [and] believed “hundreds of children” took part.

Don Lemon’s being arrested is some real life spooky shit. We’re watching a real life dictatorship unfold with this aggressive censorship. How ever this situation pans out it will set the precedent of what’s to come.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

Jackson talks about wanting to have food pantries at schools I agree we have one at Schurz, they are taking donations! any school can follow this model

Evidently every group chat they’re not invited to is a “shadow network.” The neighborhood WhatsApp chat where we coordinate borrowing shovels on snowy days and whether the city can pick up an old freezer is a “shadow network.” Our local Buy Nothing Facebook group is a “shadow network.”

Beautiful piece of writing today by @marisakabas.bsky.social about living through these times

And this is why we don't sneer at people for finding meaning in hats.

I really want to not be one of those people constantly posting outrage here but I am constantly outraged because shit is continuously outrageous

Not just any journalist, she won the goddamn Triple Crown of broadcast journalism (an Emmy, a Peabody, and a Murrow) in 2024 for her reporting on Gaza. This is textbook censorship of the highest degree

The murders will continue until submissiveness improves

Kansas just passed a monstrous bill enabling criminal penalties and vigilante lawsuits for trans people using the bathroom according to their gender identity and requires them to surrender their current drivers licenses and birth certificates if it does not match their sex assigned at birth.

Soon, all the films in close proximity to it will also be THE THING. Within the year, all films in the registry will be THE THING.

me, emotionally writing an essay on the use of force by federal agents: ok but what if i packaged this in the most insane way possible www.theverge.com/policy/86857...

Bounty. Hunters.

New planet just dropped and it 1) is almost exactly Earth-sized 2) has a year that's almost exactly 1 Earth year. 3) orbits a star that is not a 💢temperamental little shit M-dwarf 💢but is instead a 🧡 good orange boi 🧡 Me for @science.org based on results presented at #RockyWorlds4: 🔭🧪

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.

The thing to know about authoritarian regimes is replacing a guy acting on the orders of the dictator rarely does much! You have to oust the dictator and then tear out the system like copper wiring

Coolest pic from yesterday that I didn’t know I took until I was going through my camera. I snapped this pic at the very moment a male Eastern bluebird was entering the feeder from the opposite side.

She should not have to do that. She’s not a boxer. I’m glad that she has the will and ability, but she shouldn’t have to. She should be able to just go to work and not be threatened because she believes in everyone being treated decently.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Hit the nail on the head. 📷 Crave

It’s mad that there are people out there who refuse to understand that the good guys are not the ones putting children into CONCENTRATION CAMPS.

People are right that this short report by Anderson Cooper is shocking because it's actually good reporting. www.instagram.com/p/DT_zBaIgAxR/

"The moderator didn’t know how this post would go over; the forum’s most heated dispute had been about whether other animals being played like bongos should be allowed." is just a gem of a sentence

At long last, we are reforming the Torment Nexus from the classic sci-fi novel You Can’t Reform the Torment Nexus.

This month has been a wild ass year

Crowd is massive, now overflowing Congress Plaza and taking up a block-long stretch of Michigan Avenue. Reminder: this event was only announced yesterday.

“Comply or die” is what they’re going with.

That's a fucking fact! 💯

These people have absolutely zero ability to say "I was wrong, y'all were right."🤷🏿‍♂️ The closest they get is "I was right then when I said you were panicking for no reason and deranged, and I'm also right now, when I'm saying what you were saying, but way too late. I alone decide when it's right."🤡

I'm really sick of the "we have to be realistic" people who think that being realistic is bargaining with Kristi Noem and Donald Trump about how many people they get to shoot. They've already said their answer is anyone they want, unconstrained by the law.

this is the level of Minnesota stubborn these fuckers are up against

It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

There is no such thing as a fucking "immigration problem" I grew up in a town full of undocumented immigrants, the family of my best friend in kindergarten was undocumented, undocumented immigrants were a net positive for our community I'm so sick of this framing

They are executing unarmed people in the streets for trying to protect their neighbors with the full support of the federal government.

If they gave Pulitzers for video news clips...

Yesterday, Minneapolis gave us hope. That’s what they’re trying to kill: the will of a people who are willing to fight them.

Straight up execution. In broad daylight. By a gang of masked government thugs empowered for the purpose of ethnic cleansing.

🧵from on scene in Minneapolis. Early reports of another citizen shot. We understand there is video, and we urge you to protect your peace and avoid it. But we need all Americans to understand that they have a duty to resist a paramilitary occupying force. This is treason

Always proud to be a Minnesotan ❤️✊🏽 50,000+ people. -10 degree weather. No one does it like Minnesota.

the tiny little fluffy birds on my balcony eating the birdseed make me happy

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.
