Times so crazy that even 'what would Jesus do?' could make a comeback.

Alders are wetland shrubs & they fix nitrogen. When soil is wet, it is anaerobic. Normal soil microbes cannot survive & most plants can't live in this wet soil. The alders' symbiotic, filamentous bacteria provide the nutrients they need to survive. greengardeningmatters.blogspot.com/2026/02/alde...

"MPR News has learned that the police chief in the small southern Minnesota city of St. Peter intervened Thursday afternoon to prevent federal immigration agents from arresting a local resident" who had been observing federal agents. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

"It may take time to prove you're right, but you have to stick to it." - Fred Korematsu Jailed for refusing to abide by FDR's Exec Order 9066, he took his case against internment all the way to the Supreme Court - and lost. Remember him on Korematsu Day, January 30th. 1/

I was born at night but it wasn't last night, Todd.

Easily six of the first ten amendments have been cancelled by Trump. Have a nice weekend.

a lot of weird psychosexual stuff coming out of MAGAland on the anti-ICE protests. See also: www.mediamatters.org/megyn-kelly/...

Reality Distortion in the Age of Trump and the Corrupt Court talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/reali...

liberals are getting the second amendment, sports, "protecting white women," and Odin in the national divorce. incredible stuff.

In summary, we have a bunch of teenage content creators running the country.

Q: So you're not pulling back in Minnesota? TRUMP: No no. Not at all.

We do not want to turn down the rhetoric. Raise the rhetoric. Rhetoric is an art. It's not noise.

The United States government will not protect the people of Minnesota. Who will?

This is very confusing, @nytimes.com. How can both of these things be true at the same time?

You wear a suit, dude, but you're still a Nazi.

A lot of people gathered tonight outside the Department of Veterans Affairs in D.C. for a vigil memorializing Alex Pretti, who worked as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital.

That's how you say fuck you to the Trump regime.

Interesting idea. Let's charge Stephen Miller with elder abuse.

Kinda looks like your average mall cop without the Nazi getup.

All the money in this creep's checkbook could never accomplish what the people of Minnesota have done.

When Nazis deescalate, something is up.

A Noem impeachment hearing, in which she blames everything on Miller, would shine a very public light on just who is running the government.

Suddenly guns are bad.

If you want an immigration system that keeps people out, build one that keeps people in.

just brazen assault, the dude is backing up

Most of us become the victims of our own ambitions.

Until Stephen Miller goes, it’s all just shuffling the deck chairs.

"Previously, I thought it was just sparkling authoritarianism."

The occupation will likely continue, but it's still so very satisfying to see this swamp rat's ass get kicked.

I trust Frey will bring a big bag of cash for his meeting with Homan.

Really disappointed to discover there's no such thing as a nervous breakdown.

Trump’s approval ratings are dismal, his policies have made life less affordable, Americans see what ICE is doing and they don’t like it. The only appropriate response to this political climate is, “we’ve got them on the ropes, let’s go on the offense." trib.al/LJqV4vv

The Oval Office could use a big ginger cat.

'Does this hat make my head look small?'

Most people I know can tell when the bad guys try to paint themselves the good guys.

"They were teasing him, and he was trying to chase them away."

Kitchen help, with yellow chair.

Frankly, we're all shitheads.

What a disturbed young woman

Step into this tube, close your eyes, and relax with the dulcet tones of @mbyrd.bsky.social tracing the history of cryosleep:

The problem: Unaccountable, armed goons are terrorizing an American city, serving as the de facto paramilitary occupation force of a regime that believes itself at war with large swaths of the population. The reaction from a Democratic lawmaker: "Maybe we could put QR codes on their uniforms?"

'Enforcement operation' makes it sound like ICE is engaged in legal activities. It is not.

The complicated reality is there are 3 things happening simultaneously: -Trump preternaturally understands the ebb and flow of the media and does perform for it -His inner circle is in a mad dash to turn the US into a fascist ethnostate -Like all authoritarian regimes, they're grossly incompetent

forever war… i want to be… forever war do you really want to live forever (forever war)

It would be so great if states sent representatives to the federal government—let’s call them “Congress”—who would then use their power over spending to tell the executive branch that it can’t just hold states hostage because it disagrees with their local policies. We could call it federalism.
