is Hair Raising Hare the barbershop one??? #BugsBunny #TCMtunes

"The Democrats are pushing reforms that they know won’t work because they are doing performative, perfunctory opposition to try to quiet their base, instead of real legislating and fighting to dismantle Trump’s ICE and CBP." newrepublic.com/article/2059...

No shit it’s not! It’s also a myth. So infuriating and cruel. Did they get new jobs? More money to feed themselves/children? Nah- just look at work criteria and then kick them to the curb. Survival of the fittest amiright? I’m sure this won’t cause additional compounding issues.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

This part feels like what is messing up a lot of the folks new to this. “You may not think this who you are, but it's clear this is what you're capable of.” As a nation.

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

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.

Not even $7k has been raised. The fucking guy that murdered that white lady had how much money at this point? www.gofundme.com/f/support-ne...

the nba postponed a game because the united states government is killing its citizens

There are no words…

Seems like things are off to a rough start. iowacapitaldispatch.com/2026/01/23/f...

We're now tracking about as many anti-trans bills for 2026 as we saw for the entirety of 2022. It's a similar case for anti-LGBTQ+ bills in general. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Beyond infuriating. I don’t know what this emotion is that’s beyond rage, but I’m in it. Trying to balance whatever passes for normal life with opposition and support is…fucking exhausting. Wtf happens to morality once you get elected?

JFC. Abolish ICE! #abolishICE

Sigh. Way to put a fight #Iowa #higherEd #academicsky cbs2iowa.com/news/local/b...

Seriously unhinged. And a mistake to pay attention while I was trying to enjoy my coffee.

Hey #Iowa, absofreakinglutely NOT!

I spoke to a friend on the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota board. They need financial donations to keep up with the heightened demand for their services: www.ilcm.org ILCM is a nonprofit that provides free immigration legal representation to low-income immigrants and refugees in MN & ND

Is anyone else weirded out that world leaders are just out here texting each other??? That seems…odd and not terribly secure to me. Not to mention the way everyone tries to keep the Mad King mollified. Sigh. apnews.com/article/trum...

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

This whole thread. You could say the same thing at a national level as well. Beyond tepid. If my “representatives” aren’t going to meet this moment, truly meet it, then they aren’t mine. We aren’t playing. This is not politics as usual anymore.

This crew of comrades offer some of the best training and they are generously offering another on Monday. It is a virtual session and they have asked this to be shared in particular with MN folks if you want to join. Open to others too.

Establishment Dems need to realize no amount of compliance or appeals to this administration's better angels will work. They will still come after you. At least make them do it for actually doing something to protect your community.

My friends local to Minnesota, whom I trust a great deal, would like to share the following resources that could use support. PowWowGrounds - Native American Coffee Shop doing direct food and supply aid to their communities- Venmo @powwowgrounds www.powwowgrounds.com

Hey folks Calvary Food Shelf has been helping out people in Minneapolis for 30 years, and now they’re ramping up to meet the crisis, including doing home deliveries so people don’t have to risk going out. They’re just over halfway to their current goal—let’s get them all the way, shall we?

Last night, The Minneapolis Federation of Educators Local 59 signed on to the call for a Jan 23 shutdown. That brings total labor support to: the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1005, SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, CWA Local 7250, St. Paul Federation of Educators Local 28, and the MFE 59

a hug to whoever needs one. all this fucking sucks, man.

I just can’t…

There it is. Jfc. Also, where is it verified that the “agent/officer” was attacked with a shovel? Also also, how is that a reason for this??? apnews.com/live/donald-...

Friends—I need you to connect to your rapid response in your city. Your ICE watch. If you don’t have one, start one. I’m watching Minneapolis and we need to be prepared for what comes next. Know the activists in our neighborhoods. If you don’t know your rights now is the time to learn. Have a plan.

Today is just one awful thing after another. Seriously demoralizing. It's one of those hard days that makes you want to hide in a blanket. Bring back blanket forts! I'm up for anything you got that's encouraging.

The House voted 341 to 79 to fund Trump's war-mongering foreign policy agenda. Only 57 Democrats voted NO. clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/rol...

This is so, so, so bad…I can't even explain to you. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/h...

This is absolutely devastating news for the behavioral health community.

We cannot continue to allow this. You must speak up and speak out. You must make sure people see this and know what’s happening. These are not isolated incidents. DO something - big or small- but do it.

At minimum.

“Members of Congress should be able to say what they want to say without being threatened…they should be able to call 911 and know that they’re going to get the kind of response that anybody else would get…” As if everyone actually got the same response in the first place.

You know what's NOT in this new video? Any semblance of deescalation. No commands - unless you count "get the fuck out of the car" to be one. No stop, no warnings, just immediate weapon discharge while holding a phone. None of this is appropriate - all of it is SOP now. It's straight up murder.

Ahh, it’s that time of year again. Legislative season across the states. The time when civic “leaders” come to their capitols and represent their constituents by completely ignoring science & public opinion to create new legislation demonizing a fraction of the public instead of anything helpful.

Yeah, this. So many times, but the first is both the hardest and the most enduring. So much loss.

After the killing of Ms Good, Greg Bovino of the CPB led a raid on a Minneapolis HS. An official there said: They don’t care. They’re just animals,” I’ve never seen people behave like this.” All MPLS schools now closed for the week. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

ICE shot that poor woman in cold blood. She is not the first, and likely not the last at this rate. Ask yourself why this shooting enrages people and sparks reaction in a way the others did not. We cannot let folks keep acting like we can simply vote our way out of this mess. Use your power.

What is wrong with the Birds lately? Hurts killing my fantasy score. #footballsky

Anyone still trying to say they are just a couple bad apples or inept? This is cruel and inhumane and likely to just happen anyway. Because, you know, we are just a fringe, cultural issue, don’t you know.

Bc target wasn’t already in enough hot water with us. They clearly haven’t learned yet.

BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

Man, this is one of those days where I don’t know which train wreck to keep my eyes on. It feels bad all over in every direction.

@erininthemorning.com kstp.com/kstp-news/lo...

Dear neighbor, I want to let you know that we are witnessing increased enforcement actions by agents in South Minneapolis. There continues to be reports of residents being followed while driving, stopped and taken away. 1/
