My friends from earlier! They had a nice, sloooow, escort along Lake St. this morning. Glad to know their day got worse 😋

So tomorrow will set a new "shittiest day" record.

Lots of people running with ICE’s claim that someone attacked them with a shovel so they were justified in shooting two people. What kind of shovel? It’s like 10 degrees outside, there hasn’t been snow in days. Why would someone just happen to have a shovel on hand after a high speed chase?

Y'all know what to do

It's a cat-and-mouse game, but we're now the cat.

We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.

Day 3! We won't stop feeding these families. LFG!

A week ago I think I knew maybe 3 parents at my kid’s preschool, and now I know almost all of them, and have steeled myself to give my life for their kids and their teachers if I need to.

You know how people (I’m people) will honk their car horns in appreciation as they drive past righteous protesters? Please don’t do that now! The switch is flipped. Horns = ICE PRESENCE. We all go into high(er) alert mode.

I thought joining an underground resistance movement would be more fun.

My morning: - Witnessed 4 abductions between 3 encounters, - Likely prevented another in a grocery store parking lot. - Don't print in the newspaper that this guy was mad. It's the best day I've had all week.

You're asking a lot of questions already answered by my "NOT BOTHERED BY THE WHISTLES" tshirt.

I've had @jchavezmpls.bsky.social after getting redistricted out of @robin4mpls.bsky.social and I simply cannot imagine having better leadership.

That's why he drives around with 25 armed guards.

I felt so vulnerable recently sharing my awful encounter. I feel so awkward - how do I sound, did I do everything right, did I make things worse? I'm just trying to remember this is uncharted territory for everyone.

I definitely agree, though the opsec seems to come naturally from needing tight coordination. As is ever the case, the vanguard is for people with less to lose.

Our grandchildren will spit on their graves. I am so angry, in a way I'll never get over, and I'm not alone.

The problem is they go this violent for no reason whatsoever. What possible reason could they give for attacking that person in that manner? And they need thousands of agents here to do that 100's of times per day? Why? Terror. That's their only motive right now.

From the video the ICE agent just attacked him while he was talking.

I am not exaggerating, there is no other story in the twin cities. Work, school, worship, shopping, driving, getting gas. Everything is ICE. Everything.

Is this "peaceful" enough @governorwalz.mn.gov? Bovino can just stop for gas a mile from your house?

Leftists 🤝 Stancil

It is truly the most "it takes a village" for strangers to teach a youngster how to get out of their first plow-wash. I love the proud and knowing smiles exchanged after they drive off. Who hasn't waited patiently for the kid to find and turn off the traction control, "it'll have squiggly lines".

This is so brutal to say out loud, but to defeat bad guys with guns we will need good guys with guns.

An acronym isn't a good way to impress a point, and adding the word child to porn or prostitution is no more offensive to sex workers than saying child labor.

Writing about Musk’s world wide CSAM generator I’ve gotten the response, “What is CSAM?” I know it’s the preferred, non exploitive term, but I wonder if the outrage would be louder and the pressure on Apple and other carriers stronger if critics used more tabloidy descriptions of the product.

Every single one of them will rot away in a dungeon and our grandchildren will spit on their graves.

One of my uncles was kidnapped by ICE yesterday. He was always there for my family and even helped my family afford my graduation party when I graduated college. 💔 Anything helps. ICE has no humanity. Hard workers literally being torn from their families. gofund.me/d84e22b46

Genuinely think this convinces more people that a clown show is in charge than it's intended purpose.

Ron Clancy, on his sixth mojito of the morning, yelling at his editor that the rusted tanker can't be haunted. It's just a tanker. Stop asking him to make it haunted. The Russians wouldn't want it if it was haunted. Think for just one damned second about what you're saying.

Thought about this a lot. If everyone follows the rules then great. If some decide not to, there are consequences. If half decide not to, well....

Tired: Wired:

There are 200 heads of state in the world and I resent knowing the names of more than like 4 of them at a time.

"Republicans have agency too" Yeah, that's the problem.

I think we can guarantee a strong majority don't want to be invaded or ruled by a foreign power. This is ~basically~ universal and should assume it true until proven otherwise.

Our Somali neighbors endure a constant stream of hate, but it's shocking to me how quickly the rest of the country's racists joined in. The food scandal has been out of the news for awhile now, there's no new "incitement" for a pogrom - why this one?

Awesome blog. I love my lil house - 2br, 1100 ft² - and would have no problem squishing it next to other lil houses, until it's a big building of lil houses.

"Kirk did not commit violence, not because he abhorred it, but because committing violence was someone else's job." That pretty much sums it up.

The Democratic convention is literally the time and place to hash out policy differences.

Youth activists are influencers send skeet

Cops in the twin cities are still actively punishing the citizenry for 2020, yet 15,000 people showed up to march with an assassin on the loose.

Can't get money, what else can you spend but time and connections? Limited cost but good press seems an easy win.

Am I supposed to understand something here? I mean beyond a waxy Chris mug.

This one is from a friend: she had to break it to an Australian ancestor-hunter that his convict ancestor had been transported for… bestiality.

Sorry

Maybe it's age but I'm so tired of anger. It's obvious what he means. Angry like this out in the world is childish and embarrassing, just boomer behavior.

It's Bad that I'm drawn to this kind of conflict like a moth to flame. *Deep breath* It is better to limit yourself to your most passionate issues, and focusing is not the same as abandoning

Highlighting - indelicately, alas - those most harmed by failed policy is good. Knowing who and how to help is good. I didn't know in other cities immigration was so connected - my knowledge is local, where indigenous people are overrepresented as unhoused.

Immigrants are the reason for the US expanding population, which is wonderful. It's also a societal shame there wasn't housing built to welcome them - extremely vulnerable people are most at risk of losing their home.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9
