They're creeping all over South Minneapolis too. Keep those whistles handy, neighbors.

when the new flag was officially adopted, i had a job working with MN cities, mostly small and non-metro. explaining there was no law forcing them to fly the state flag and therefore no penalty if they didn't was entirely unsatisfactory to them because they are furious the new flag exists at all.

So is the MSP feed really no more? Sadness, oh sadness. I miss it.

Aaaaaa-WOOOOooooooooo!

This was one of my most treasured possessions circa 1981. And I wasn't alone, the Merlin handheld electronic game was the top-selling Parker Brothers' toy 1978-1982 (supplanted by "Frogger"). In total, 5 million units were sold.

Splashdown Bsky is just as good as Awooo Bsky.

"Why don't Americans–" Motherfucker, I live in Minneapolis

Ex Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting under Obama👇🏽

Why did it take me until this second to realize that the ICE/DHS hiring was also to keep the violent chuds from feeling the effects of this economy and turning against the fascists?

A-WoooOooooOooo!

One of our greatest Canadians, “the father of Medicare,” saw this coming 🇨🇦

Incredible thread. I thought I remembered this from school but either they skipped a lot or my memory is terrible. Either way, I needed to read about Hugh Thompson. Just stunning.

This is a whole different nightmare. But also another place you can help.

Fan-fucking-tastic. 100% predictable.

Taking a break today from posting about concentration-camp matters for the newsletter, I wrote instead about a sociological study that might shed light on the Trump administration's reckless violence and the loyalty of his most diehard supporters.

WoooooooOOOOOOOoooo!

Communities are being forced to set up local non profits and Go Fund Me accounts to help people meet their basic needs while our country uses tax dollars to go into another stupid war.

An unpopular president is about to drag the country into an unpopular war. Democratic leader should be out front in opposition, not politely asking for a briefing. My piece in @foreignpolicy.com foreignpolicy.com/2026/02/27/d...

St. Paul Public Schools parents group needs about $63k more to keep 174 families housed. March is soon, rent will be due. Can you chip in? Can you share?

When I say our leaders aren’t helping us, this is what I mean. ICE is showing no signs of leaving but our senator, who is currently running for governor, doesn’t even know that. And she’s doing the administration‘s work for them.

ICE is still here in Columbia Heights. People are still unable to work, feed their families, pay their rent. If you have a couple bucks to spare, please do. If not, just go please meet at least one neighbor. You will want to be ready if this ever comes to your community and that is the first step.

Please resist the urge to post Olympics spoilers, please please. I guess I know how the men’s free skate turned out….

Cannot be reformed. #AbolishICE #AbolishDHS

This is Minneapolis:

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Soothing for these times. youtu.be/Biv9Yh_z4QU?...

Ring camera search party™️ hits different with slavecatchers in your town

You know when you're supposed to tackle someone, as law enforcement? When your life or the life of someone else is at risk. There are some other one-offs, but none are "when arresting an unarmed peaceful protestor."

McSweeney’s brilliance again! www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/i-a...

DID YOU KNOW? If you have Delta Sky Miles, you can donate them to help a kidnapped-and-released person fly home! They are set free on the streets of El Paso or another Texas town with no phone, no money, nothing at all. Your miles can get them back to their loved ones!

So much for courting Latino votes for the GOP, I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️

This makes the Jan 23, 2026 action the largest strike in Minnesota History, and depending on which number you use, 3rd in American History after the massive national strikes of 1919, or the Great Railroad Strike of 1922. I note with extreme interest that mainstream media didn't report these facts.

DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold. It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.

If we hang a Mission Accomplished sign somewhere, would he go home? It’s worth a shot.

Looking forward to hiring them and welcoming them to my neighborhood.

Not just Stephen Miller. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...

Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)

"On future invoices and timesheets, please designate your 'team,' so we know which donor account to draw from. You should have already got an email as to whether you are on Team Soros, Team Obama, Team Illuminati, Team Secretive Jewish Cabal, or Oprah’s Very Special Protest Club."

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

HEY PEOPLE IN 64A and 47A YOU HAVE A SPECIAL ELECTION TOMORROW. naomikritzer.com/2026/01/26/s...

Minnesotans have all "studied the playbook." (Please quote repost with your playbook, Minnesota. Have at it.)

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration. Congress can: - Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage) - Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes - Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same - Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction It can be done.

Minnesota folks, if you can spend some time I suggest reading some of these entries. ICE wants us to be afraid, to feel overwhelmed, to feel isolated. We are not alone. We have each other, and the whole rest of the world. There are SO MANY PEOPLE everywhere who see us, who know, who care.

Mask up in the protest zones, folks. People are not being very good about keeping faces out of photos.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

I will be another voice to say, I have watched the video and you do not need to watch it unless you doubt what is being said. There is no ambiguity. Agents dogpile a person, he is on the ground, one of them starts clubbing with a pistol and then fires repeatedly. Even after the body is still.

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.
