Where I live in Ontario it should be possible to see the total phase from around 6am until the Moon sets around 7. I am setting an alarm!

who made this

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

Doug's "strong powers" for mayors are a lot like free speech in the US right now. You can use it, as long as we agree with it.

“She’s not from here.”

Heard this one? The City of Barcelona traded 3 lanes of vehicle traffic for an exceptional 4.7km green pedestrian corridor in the heart of the Eixample grid. Businesses sued, & eventually won in court. Then they admitted that they actually like the change. Streets for people are good for business.

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

Canadian researchers develop AI tool to fight online disinformation (Canada)

We wanted to understand how mRNA vaccines work. So we talked to three cocaine addicts in a gas station bathroom off Route 6.

Roses are red Violets are nice Nazis are bad Abolish ICE

Hello, since you're here anyway, would you please take a moment to read and share this beautiful letter written by the husband of a palliative cancer patient (me) in support of the nurses of Kaiser Permanente? mishellbaker.com/pushing-back/

The repeal of the "endangerment finding" will make it harder for future administrations to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act without a new law or amendment passed by Congress—with serious public health and climate consequences

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Having spent most of my working life in transport policy, this is the essential truth that so many people - including politicians with responsibility for transport decisions - don’t or won’t get. To reduce congestion, you reduce capacity and reduce speed. The empirical evidence is overwhelming.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses? People

And while everyone is feeling good about Benito giving a Grammy to someone who is not Liam Ramos: Congress can pass a personal bill to grant citizenship to Liam Ramos, his family and Kilmer Abrego Garcia.

💯

Same. For this 62 year old white woman. Infectious music with lots of beautiful, happy, brown and black people dancing. It was a huge display of joy.

JON VOIGHT HAS FALLEN AND CAN’T GET UP. SCOTT BAIO TRIED TO HELP BUT SLIPPED IN A PUDDLE OF MAYONNAISE.

Thousands of Trumpers say they will be watching the Republican half-time show while they eat their nachos and salsa because Bad Bunny and Hispanic culture have no place in Amurikun sports.

The White House did a dishonest y-axis so I fixed their y-axis for them, you’re welcome White House www.howtoreadthisch.art/lets-conside...

JD Vance unable to discern booing at Winter Olympics from booing every other day of his life

Houston friends (Or people with friends in Houston): You should really buy your local bestie a Galentine's Bag. These amazing goodie-stuffed bags are not only a lovely "thinking of you", but they also fund mammograms for food and beverage workers. Total win-win.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Got to thinking about the groundhogs' predictions yesterday for a longer winter and since I'm not really a fan of that weather prognosis I'm hoping the groundhogs can be flown to Battle River-Crowfoot so we can get them to try again today for a different outcome.

In America today, millions of people are just one medical bill, one missed paycheck, one rent hike away from becoming homeless. THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US will be out in paperback on March 3. Preorder here: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/645871...

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Damn the soulless Nazis of Trumpism straight to Hell.

Kyle Rittenhouse was on Infowars the day after the Renee Good shooting saying he had heard on X that Renee was putting cigarettes out on her kids. This wasn't true. This is a government by and for school shooters and their apologists.

We've made this Sinister Minnesotans shirt from our Stan Kelly comic this week. Net proceeds from this shirt will be donated to local organizations doing their part to keep Minnesotans safe and send ICE agents home to ruin their own fucking communities. Fuck ICE and stay strong, Minneapolis.

"They want what the US has got." To be bankrupt by a heart attack? Ubiquitous gun violence? A big fancy ballroom?

Tomorrow’s front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 23, 2026

I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

This is a lie. I was on the Danforth Saturday night, 24 hours after blizzard, & bike lanes were full of snow & car lanes clear. Sidewalks meh. This man makes things up to rage his way into the mayoral office. Tell your not-online friends & fam.

crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours. please keep sharing with your networks.

This is shockingly out of touch, please donate your money to the communities that are being attacked by masked federal agents. Also, in-person precinct caucuses are a terrible idea, there are immigrant families who haven’t left their houses in weeks.
