How many USAID’s have we spent on the Iran war so far?

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

This visualization of daily activity of ICE is unreal.

Is this bag netting necessary for this plane to fly American Airlines?

I hate Delta too. But American Airlines has forced me to sit in this middle seat for an hour and a half without any a/c for 90 minutes while they fixed bag netting.

God damnit I hate American Airlines.

My company's note to employees today acknowledging the chaos in Minneapolis is the epitome of the drowning high-five meme.

Here at caucus night in #MSP and precinct 13-9 has already run out of chairs.

Oh, we're at the typhoid outbreak part of the concentration camps. That's great.

FUCK

Come the fuck on.

Frankly, things are so immediate and intense in Minnesota right now that it feels like people in other places talking about other things might as well be on the moon. This is especially the case when people from elsewhere talk about how much things have changed here when they clearly haven’t

*deep labored exhale*

Can the universe just leave Minnesota be right now?

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

"ICE OUT" on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, as seen from my flight leaving MSP airport

I encountered 3 of these ghost cars this weekend. Just awful.

better get to sleep so I can wake up and increase shareholder value while my country actively burns down

It's really depressing that the "legal gun owner" message is the most effective thing to break into these people's brains.

Oh no, here comes the Monday morning tears.

These dweebs clearly weren’t paying attention in world history class. You don’t invade a winter people in the dead of fuckin’ winter.

Totally normal message from daycare.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

MEET THE MOMENT YOU LIMP RAG OF A POLITICIAN.

gofundme's for toddlers kidnapped by our own government

Gotta remind yourself not to cry when you see the kid's signs. It's negative -25°F and tears are dangerous. "LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!" "ICE GIT OUT YA FUCKIN DUMBIES 😡"

Not that cold out.

"Oh my gosh, it was so nice to see you! Have a lovely day, fuck ICE!" "Oh you too hon! Stay safe in that traffic, fuck ICE!' - two older Minnesota ladies, bidding farewell after the protest

Internal polling is ✨that✨ bad, huh?

Saint Paul, MN

Who says the local Rapid Response chat can’t be fun?

Guys, it almost happened.

I think it's very fitting that the Revolutionary HQ of Minneapolis is a sex shop (that DOES NOT have a glory hole) and Revolutionary HQ of Saint Paul is a toy store where you can get Settlers of Catan.

one thing i wish i could impress on a lot of you is that trump et al are not the only people with agency

ICE is using a new tactic of intimidation towards businesses in the Twin Cities who are using their first amendment rights.

Imagine the guts it takes to get pulled over once with guns drawn then keep doing it anyway. Legendary stuff here

can we just quickly clear up an often repeated idea that Minneapolis is a “small city of 500k” or the “47th largest city in the US”? it is directly connected to st. paul, a city of 400,000. with the suburbs, the metro area is over 3.5 million people. your city won’t be safer because it is bigger.

I’m not sure people outside the Twin Cites realize the prevalence and the fear ICE is causing in Twin Cities. They are dining undercover pretending to be couples at restaurants, they are going to businesses and checking the license plates of cars to find employees. Every public place is compromised.

They’re going to invoke the Insurrection Act to stand around in this.

:(

It’s so fucking infantilizing to be told over and over about ignoring bait, like we’re all chomping at the bit for a fight or something What I wouldn’t give for just a single elected to have our back instead of this shit that implies we are some unruly mob in need of constant checking

Posts from Minneapolis residents read like they'll be read in voiceover in a Ken Burns-like doc one day

When I get really down, I am going to re-read this over and over to keep going.

Watch my address on the ongoing federal presence in Minnesota: youtu.be/fGTsYXBWQgU

It takes me like 30 seconds to scan a menu QR code. Are these clowns serious?
