This is a very touching story. Batman’s frustration reminds me of the years I lived in the South Bay and all the anti-homeless sweeps I saw then. Seeing the aftermath was what made me violently opposed to sweeping homeless encampments.

SCAM ALERT – IMPORTANT The cat has already been fed.

For my out-of-state friends wanting to help Minneapolis, Sanctuary Supply Depot is a grassroots mutual aid effort to support unhoused folks here. They take cash as well as in-kind donations: linktr.ee/sanctuarysup...

If I were a Democrat who wanted to run in 2028 and had even a shred of moral clarity and understanding of where we are at this time in history I'd be salivating at the prospect of running against the podcasting governor who's hosting ben shapiro in the year 2026

“ICE agents, get out now because historically, this ends with you hanging from a lamppost and your body paraded through the streets.” - the …we rate dogs guy

If you want a story about relentless and unexpected decency despite awful situations, you should read the novella Nine Goblins by @tkingfisher.com 💙📚

They’re now very close to their goal! I just donated - let’s see if we can get them over!

I am cleaning mushrooms. I have always been cleaning mushrooms. I will always be cleaning mushrooms. Yes, I am having harvester’s remorse 🤪

you know how there are episodes of things like The Office that are too cringe to watch and you have to leave the room because of secondhand embarrassment? this is sort of like that

A Northern Flicker (lower left), a bird who likes ants, was following around a Pileated Woodpecker, who was hammering out holes in tree while looking for ants. After the Pileated would leave a spot, the Flicker would check it out to see if there were any ants leftover.

My latest: with the surge in #flu and #Covid, re really should be using N95, KN95 or similar, rather than baggy surgical #masks. With thanks to the #WorldHealthNetwork, @adamfinkel.bsky.social @gregggonsalves.bsky.social for calling attention to this issue. www.forbes.com/sites/judyst...

A Great Blue Heron in one of the local rivers. Most of these birds migrate but a few will stay and hang around the open waters.

Awwwwww hellllll yeah 😎

The Department of Homeland Security is refusing to release information on 3 detained Oglala Lakota tribal members who are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp for Native people, unless the tribe enters into an immigration agreement with ICE.

"I hate what they're doing and I hate them for doing it" about sums it all up

If you want to know what is happening in Minnesota, follow and subscribe and SUPPORT Unicorn Riot. They have been my on-the-ground source of news since the 2020 occupation of the Twin Cities.

Please, think of the wetrock blinkholes

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

The green gas looks like this. bsky.app/profile/notu...

I was supposed to be in bed an hour ago but sending links and videos to people so they know to avoid the green gas (zinc chloride). Once a lab steward, always a lab steward. Seriously, I was a chemist twenty years ago, you do NOT want heavy metal toxicity. It fucks you up in weird ways.

We are going to win. Normal people hate the fucking fascists.

I understand why they had to stop him but I don’t agree with imprisoning him in the phantom zone

“ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do” played over video of ICE engaging in acts of violence should be the wall to wall DNC media strategy right now

Thread. The crowds of people screaming “fuck ICE” are heartening.

"well this can't possibly go on," I say once an hour, every day, until my mind is ground to dust

this is Minnesotan for "I am mad enough to bite through rebar"

BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally. Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

Good!

These barbarians are destroying everything that makes society work. Kids can't go to school, patients can't go to the hospital. We are, in effect, paying them to wreck the basic infrastructure of the country

Every time I see someone yammering about abolish ICE / policing and how DEEPLY UNPOPULAR it is, I want to remind them that the GOP abolished Roe v. Wade and that was also deeply, deeply unpopular, and here they are, in charge of everything still.

The Hmong are here because they fought for the US in a war we lost.

I saw Goody Proctor at the wine mom gang at the LAX Radisson.

This is a cool thread about the carnyx :D

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center. Read the full story here: www.propublica.org/article/vide...

Condé Nast forgot to renew the trademark for Gourmet and so a group of journalists grabbed it and are relaunching the food magazine as a worker-owned co-op. Love it. [gourmetmagazine.net]

Yeah it's called being an American, bitch. Smugness towards authority is our founding trait.

welp here's an easy block and report:

I wish I could take a nap in the sun today. Sssssiiiiiiiggghhhhh 🫠

once more with feeling

The LeBron James of divorced women. No one is doing it like her.

This is Minneapolis: Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city. Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

the thing about “ICE needs training” is that Jonathan Ross was a ten year DHS vet and a firearms instructor he’s the kind of guy they get training from the whole institution is rotten, throw it out

NEW: Top DOJ officials quit after their division refused to probe Minnesota ICE shooting - At least four leaders of the Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good. www.ms.now/news/doj-civ...

White supremacist talking points. No dog whistles.

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."
