Mood in minneapolis right now

This was murder. Pretti did not initiate the confrontation. He didn’t strike them. He didn’t brandish his gun. They tackled him, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

ICE agents carry sidearms, tactical rifles, shotguns, tear gas, pepper ball launchers, and tasers. Protesters carry whistles and placards. Now, who are the fucking cowards?

Minnesota is the best of us.

The type of people who can engage in this behavior need to be kept away from society

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

“Two members of Elon Musk’s DOGE team working at the Social Security Administration were secretly in touch with an advocacy group seeking to ‘overturn election results in certain states.’” (reporting by @kyledcheney.bsky.social) www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

‘Unhinged’ works, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social tends to be right on these things. There are many people of whom it can be said. Few were elected President, and are as dangerous to his country and the world as this man and his controllers and enablers.

Truly damning investigative reporting in @rollingstone.com on how Danish researchers long favored by RFK.Jr for their studies which cast doubt on vaccines,secured a no bid grant to fund the unethical trial in Guinea Bissau. This read is worth your time. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Naaaaaaailed it

Shoot this right into my veins.

Sen. Ossoff: Trump doesn't care what working class and middle-class Americans are going through. What Donald Trump cares about, above all, is retribution. He cares about harassing and persecuting and punishing the people he believes to be his enemies, whether it's J Powell or members of the Senate.

Turns out RFK Jr's new HHS food guidelines are not wholly designed for your good health, but the bank accounts of him and his panel of advisers, as several members have financial ties to beef, pork, and dairy groups, including grants, consulting, and advisory roles. This is commonly known as graft.

Vance's stance is, almost literally, "Well, she shouldn't have mouthed off like that. She asked for it."

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

OMG

A law enforcement agent used a chemical spray on a protester at the scene of the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old woman by an ICE officer. A photographer had his eyes flushed after being hit with chemical irritants. Follow our live coverage: https://wapo.st/4qIfV5S

This isn't standing up for children's health. It is the *opposite* of that. This isn't based on "gold standard science." It is the *opposite* of that. And this isn't common sense. It's the profound ignorance of Donald Trump, which allows him to be easily manipulated by dishonest, extremist kooks.

This is Herschel. She spent 15 minutes at the gym before deciding to switch her New Year's resolution to self acceptance. 12/10 (IG: cfsbk)

Love to see this title change from @nbcnews.com. I’d love to take credit for it but someone important must have requested this change.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Just under the wire

complete lawless vandalism — and a desecration not only of the building but of the great oaks and other trees growing around it that were butchered and chipped for this wastrel's tacky self-aggrandizing man cave wapo.st/49yVT83

The celebration and digital metastasization of conspiratorial thinking culminating with the U.S. head of health and human services believing that and governing as if modern diseases don’t emerge naturally, pandemics are all manmade, and science (not the complexities of nature) is to blame.

Fine, whatever, this random cat is your new god of the winter solstice

Some of the best (I think) material in Five Came Back is there because a librarian saw what I was working on over 3 days and asked me if I'd like to take a look at a box of old George Stevens papers that had not been catalogued yet. So no, for a ton of reasons, AI cannot "do the research for you."

Sharing a song about life's messy and often painful experiences. Maybe not for everyone but if it is, enjoy. youtu.be/aGfQvfMkkao?...

Article 22 is a jewelry company that repurposes Vietnam War shrapnel and battlefield debris. A portion of their profits goes to the Mine Advisory Group, which works to remove landmines still left in Laos (they've removed more than 300k mines!). I like the company's "Shard" necklace collection.

WTF! The Trump administration plans to review (with the intent to remove or eliminate) some of the nation’s wildlife refuges and fish hatcheries. Agency director Brian Nesvik ordered officials to identify refuges/hatcheries whose purpose the administration claims “no longer aligns with the mission.”

She could throw me through a glass coffee table and I’d thank her for the privilege, hot damn 🥵

Get a heated toilet seat they said. It's the best thing ever they said. #FridayVibes 😼 #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

For today's @popheist.com #Heistmas Advent Calendar, I wrote about the performance of "Fairytale of New York" at Shane MacGowan's December 2023 funeral, the purest and most invigorating celebration of a life well lived I've ever seen.

Uh oh 😸 Mom Dog I’m just kissing the baby 🥰 #FridayFeeling

The CEO of Palantir.

This is Poncho. He's trying to fix some mistakes on his medical record. Actually does not require any more shots, must have been a typo. 12/10 (TT: veterinariabarranquitas)

So far, in less than one year, Donald Trump has issued over TEN TIMES as many pardons as he did in his entire four-year first term. That’s a lot of criminals released onto our streets.

RFK Jr. is against vaccines that have been proven to be safe and effective, because he claims they aren’t tested enough. At the same time, he promotes supplements and IV peptides that aren’t approved or regulated by the FDA or any other body.

I cannot even begin to express my rage at this lie reading this through me back into my pandemic EMT life, attempting to resuscitate a child experiencing a cardiac arrest secondary to COVID while a father says “we heard that the vaccine was riskier than COVID for kids” and a mother wails in agony

Interested in understanding why Siamese cats look like they do? My just published research demonstrates the structural relationship between mutant & normal tyrosinase gene. First of its kind study for cats. #siamesecats #catsofbluesky #felinescience www.techscience.com/biocell/onli...

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
