BEN OGDEN!

States can step in to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, and automakers will likely keep trying to reduce emissions to remain competitive in the global market. In the meantime, more Americans will die from air pollution and climate change because of the Trump regime.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Who is going to tell all of these country MAGA folk that they are not, by definition, CITIZENS?

Crap, I told myself not to do it. I promised myself I wouldn't do it. Did I listen? No, I turned on the curling. Now I can't turn it off until the end. I'm stuck. See you February 23.

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Sure, it's immature, but he started it.

WTF SO MANY COMMERCIALS!

I’m on my apartment balcony to illustrate how Donald Trump’s corruption and contempt for the rule both threatens our democracy *and* affects our everyday lives. Behind me is the Gateway project, a $16 billion effort to build a new rail tunnel across the Hudson. ...

Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself. 25th Amendment now.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

So long as Minnesota is occupied by federal forces, I propose the following modification to the US flag:

Jeffrey Epstein: "I have met some very bad people. None as bad as Trump. Not one decent cell in his body."

“With their resistance to violent authoritarianism, the people of Minneapolis have renewed the spirit of Dr. King’s call for ‘the positive affirmation of peace.’” — The Nation

Woman with legal status taken from her family home in St Paul by ICE, flown to Texas, held for two weeks before being ordered released by a judge. She lost her job. She's afraid to go outside because agents keep coming to her home. www.kare11.com/article/news...

I think this is great but residents of Saint Paul would like a word. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

Yesterday was AMAZING! 🚴‍♀️ An estimated 100k cyclists from 200 cities road a Memorial Bike Ride to honor Alex Pretti. Why? Because Alex was an avid cyclist. 🥹 I'll admit this had my tear ducts gushing for a full 5 minutes. Fascists vs Cyclists. 🚴‍♀️ Here's a montage of my fav clips - Part 1 👇🏼🧵

This was only about two time-lapsed minutes of the Alex Pretti memorial ride in Minneapolis today. I'd guess there were at least 5x more people there than this, and probably significantly more than that. Absolutely mind blowing love and support showing up on bikes today.

The bike wackos came out today, 3-5k of them in Minneapolis. It was warmer than it has been for a long time, about 17 degrees! Photo by @brianmitchl.com

The Alex Pretti Memorial Ride in Minneapolis today was massive and so powerful to be a part of. I've seen estimates of 3-5 thousand riders, taking up to an hour for the ride to pass through an intersection.

Proud of you, Milwaukee 🫡

Minnesota needs a national anthem, not a state song. youtu.be/U9RuuBWYAps?...

Saw Minnesota play Calgary last night.

I heard some MAGA on the radio talking about "ICE'S tactics" and I swear I heard "ISIS tactics".

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.

Many rides are happening across the country in solidarity on Saturday. And this Friday being the last of the month, Critical Mass in multiple cities will be riding to remember Alex Pretti as well. Find a ride or organize one near you.

Moriarty: "I was working with the BCA all day. What happened at the scene was that the federal agents stood about 2 feet apart w/ large batons & they physically prevented the BCA from entering the scene ... DHS prevented them from even entering the scene with a lawfully signed, by a judge, warrant."

On Saturday we ride for Alex Pretti 1:00pm at Washburn Fair Oaks Park From Angry Catfish: “We're asking folks to host rides and come together. Bike shops and non-profits, cycling orgs and alt cycling collectives, city and rural. We are many but we stand together as one.”

I know everyone is super excited about the Aurora Borealis, but have you ever seen a sunrise?

MN healthcare workers are wearing black ribbons tomorrow. Healthcare workers everywhere: please join us in solidarity.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

"About eight seconds after he is pinned, agents yell that he has a gun, indicating that they may not have known he was armed until he was on the ground." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...

NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.

Unconfirmed reports of an ICE agent shooting a civilian in South Mpls this morning at Nicollet and East 26th St. Here's a photo of the scene posted on Ice Out.

Breaking NYT: The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

Heading to MPLS today to protest the heavy-handed tactics of the US President? Remember that non-violence is our greatest tool to affect social change: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmOw...

Thinking about putting one of these on a sign for tomorrow's rally. Anyone out there speak Greenlandic (Kalaallisut)? Kalaallit: Isumaqatigiissutit atsiortinnagit Ojibwet isumasioqatigikkit. Kalaallit: Isumaqatigiissutit atsiorneqannginneranni Ojibwe-t oqaloqatigikkit.

"'Our operations are lawful, targeted and focused on individuals who pose a serious threat to this community,' Bovino said..." Again, Liam is **five**. Five years old.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

Minneapolis, today. Note how three agents holding the civilian down. Why spray? www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Important perspective from Greenland.

there are a bunch of big names on this list, including multiple beard award winners, and some places i never would have guessed in a hundred years (the malt shop?!) and i'm genuinely floored and delighted to see so many participants bringmethenews.com/minnesota-li...

New — I wrote about ChongLy Scott Thao, the elderly Hmong American wrongly arrested and forced out of his home by ICE in his underwear during the punishing Minnesota winter, what witnesses saw, and DHS's racist claim that he fit the description of another Asian man they were looking for. My story:
