“…casting a broad net over the activist community in Minneapolis, former department officials & critics of the administration said, raises the specter that forms of political protest traditionally protected by the First Amendment could be criminalized.” Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/u...

From the MPRB Superintendent staff update on ICE: "...More than 20,000 people were estimated to have attended the rally at Powderhorn Park on Saturday afternoon..." Wow! I know it felt like a lot when I was there. Let's keep up the energy everyone!

This weekend, Wrecktangle Pizza in Lynlake, Minneapolis donated huge amounts of food to volunteers, immigrants, educators, and so on. Today ICE rolled up and fired tear gas outside their door.

AG Keith Ellison, Minneapolis and St Paul mayors announce plan to sue federal government. Ellison: "This is in essence a federal invasion of the Twin Cities." www.youtube.com/watch?v=u17g...

If news broke that a killer asteroid was on a collision course with Earth, this market would rally on hopes that it would be good for AI.

I’m in several online travel groups, mostly for typical European destinations. Without fail, 70% of the posts are white Americans asking about all the crime. How to avoid the crime. How to eat without being crimed. Crime, crime, crime. What is wrong with people? Don’t answer that.

once again shoutout to every dipshit who insisted it was hysterical to talk about trump and white supremacy in the same breath www.rawstory.com/trump-267487...

Why did I agree to such an early medical appointment?

NEW from me: Job growth has been functionally zero over the last five months, as the US sinks from a “low hire, low fire” labor market to a “no hire” one. That slowdown is hitting young & low income workers the hardest 🧵 www.apricitas.io/p/the-no-hir...

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

This is what it looks like when the entire neighborhood is willing to defend each other. I love Northeast Minneapolis with all my heart.

It sure doesn’t seem to help him at all. Did some of it get cut out as well?

The chats are also saying that ICE is now using minivans to haul around their armed thugs

While other papers, including the New York Times and Washington Post, do forensic work undermining the administration’s propaganda, the Strib trots out Steven Schier to both-sides it. No, I won’t link.

Another image that sums up the protest.

Another Tehran photo, from before the blackout.

He thinks this is debate club and just wants to “win” an argument

Security forces in Iran are now firing on protesters in cities like Tehran and Khorramabad. In Tehran, demonstrators reportedly set fire to the headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

And in other news, it looks like the regime in Iran is about to get toppled

JD Vance can fuck all the way off

Good thing that candidates can do whatever the hell they want and ignore these stupid party insiders

So how exactly did the Star Tribune totally fuck up its analysis when it seems literally every other media outlet was capable of this level of precision?

I just want to be Carol Sturka floating in a pool while singing “hot in here” right now

Sheriff Witt spoke up yesterday about the importance of having local/MN officials involved. It was the only point she wanted to make. She was spot on that the community will be pissed if it’s only Feds involved. And now here we are. More escalation.

Headline: Prior Lake woman arrested with bag of drugs labeled ‘Definitely not a bag full of drugs’

I don’t think we need a lecture on protesting right now. This isn’t it.

Can we arrest the ICE agents before they leave MN?

Cable news doesn’t seem to have the video yet and are making the mistake of working through the official press release as if it contains anything remotely accurate. Haven’t we learned better by now!?

This is incredibly brazen even for these goons. So much lying that’s easily refutable. Labeling the victim as attempting “domestic terrorism” makes me enraged.

This is the video.

Fuck Bari Weiss, fuck bootlicking regime propaganda

Oh boy. The tone of this post with everything happening in Minneapolis today. Just. Yikes.

I’ve been hearing sirens all morning

A small lake has formed at the base of my driveway. Love this form of winter we are having so much.

Just imagine how more upset we’d be if we were hearing “Dean Phillips is considering a run for Governor”

And this is why Whiting is on my mayoral candidate watch list

I knew there were going to be big changes at work this year (the company is being bought by a PE firm) but it was not on my bingo card that my boss would be leaving! This sucks. He’s the best manager I’ve had.

Trump and team really goofed up trying to go after Sen Kelly. If there’s a Dem that scares republicans the most in ‘28, it’s him.

I know Bluesky hates her but let’s be real for a moment: Amy can win any statewide race she wants and she knows that.

Jacob Frey this morning:

He’s got a slur or something going on today

“We’re going to run it”. Okay

More snow?

Do we get viral videos from leftist agitators who make their way to MSM and set a multi-day news cycle? Or is this just a conservative phenomenon?

Who turned the winter setting to “very high”. I’d like a word.

I probably look at at least 20 cat pictures a day (I’m probably vastly underestimating)

Trump guys on Twitter are using Grok to “hunt” daycares in their nearest city to see if there are kids in them and, if there are, if they’re Somali.

How many times will this dude do this? He can’t quit this place for good because nothing else exists like it.
