“The United States cannot claim to be a moral authority while allowing the machinery of ICE to tear apart the very families we are commanded to aid and protect; our Abrahamic heritage demands we stand between the oppressor and the oppressed.”

Learn how the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act can protect you...if you know how to use it.

This CBS News takedown by @briantylercohen.bsky.social is a great read. However, as a church nerd, this is my favorite line: "Bari has always framed herself as “anti-institution.” Like that weird, millennial-branded church in a gentrified neighborhood, she does things… a little differently."

This is a super telling quote: One far-right YouTuber told @semaforben.bsky.social “it was more fun when we were the opposition.” They don't like being in charge, because all they want to do is cause a scene.

Pay $1 Billion for a Spheres of Influence division of the world. Why are we allowing this change in world order?!

Trump's "Board of Peace" will include Xi and Putin. And you have to pay a $1B bribe...err...payment to join. And Trump will chair and veto what he doesn't like. Where does this money go? Where is the focus on actual peace? This sounds like carving up the world for colonialism all over again.

We gotta stay healthy to outlast this current regime. I'm proud to live in an active state, although I should be getting out more, even when it's cold. www.axios.com/2026/01/20/m...

There is a radicalized subset of MAGA young men. Parents, don't let your child fall into this trap. Teach them about the world. Show them that respect and hard work are necessary to live well in this life. Teach some values. beyondmaga.us

@axios.com is blunt today: "Trump is no longer content just dominating the U.S. and the news cycle — he wants to dominate the world." "The U.S. official suggested attendees of the annual gathering of the global elite should prepare to be insulted when Trump takes the podium tomorrow."

Psalm 40:11-12 Do not, O Lord, withhold  your mercy from me; let your steadfast love and your faithfulness  keep me safe forever. ‍For evils have encompassed me  without number; my iniquities have overtaken me  until I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head,  and my heart fails me.

Happy Tuesday, lovelies! Stop the federal government from causing violence and property destruction on its own people. Get the feds out.

MAGA has found their new victim. Nick Lange couldn't handle the cold, so they are clutching pearls and launching investigations about a protest that happened in a church where the pastor ignores Matt 25 (and much more of the bible) to serve as ICE regional director.

Just spent the night calling our neighbors to schedule the ice scrapers neighborhood watch shifts.

Seems like the DOJ and DHS forgot about the Christian pastor they pepper sprayed directly in the face.

After an ICE agent killed Renee Good, the FBI opening an investigation. They even found concerns with how Jonathan Ross acted. And then the politicos took over to say that the officer would not be investigated, but anyone and everyone else would be.

If activated the right way, you could swing people in MN-8 to get Pete Stauber out of there.

Shitposters from Florida will never understand this.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

"King understood then what we are forced to reckon with today: A nation that continues to prioritize military might over human dignity loses its moral compass."

ICE is functioning just the way it was designed. It must be fundamentally changed or abolished. More money or more training won't fix it.

ICE "officers here and elsewhere are under pressure from daily arrest quotas that leadership has set at 3,000 a day across the country...ICE has never come close to meeting that daily goal, officers are rewarded for making arrests, even if the immigrants they take in are later released.”

Happy Martin Luther King Day, lovelies! His work did not stop with his life. He worked for racial justice, economic liberation, and the end to government tyranny. We must continue that today.

What would Jesus do? I know one thing… he wouldn’t walk out of that church after preaching & then go terrorizing people in their communities …

Beware of false prophets

@richardgarnett.bsky.social and I had no wedding party. And our (very full and fun wedding) cost less than $5000.

In 1 day Spanberger issued 10 EOs to fix the state. 1 Affordability 2 Health 3 Housing 4 Public Education 5 Federal Impacts 6 Higher Ed Appointments 7 State of Emergency Authority 8 CoS Reform 9 Equal Opportunity 10 Law Enforcement not Cooperating with 🧊 So here's an article on what she wore.

Netanyahu also got played by Trump.

"The truth is, nobody knows what President Trump will do with respect to Iran besides the President himself," THAT IS A VERY BAD THING

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Trump spent the last year trying to erase the Biden accomplishments from our collective memory. If Biden supported it, Trump attacked it. What makes me more angry is that we allow this. Biden was not perfect and there are legit criticisms with actions. But Trump is acting as a reactionary.

Do not ever feel bad for your happiness. In fact, spread it. We need joy in our lives. The happiness society has identified 31 different types of happiness. Explore all of them.

White Americans are not used to this level of government oppression. Black, Native, Latino Americans are used to it and not shocked. This has been their history with the US government. This #MLK weekend, we remember how Dr. King organized strategically. And learn from those who experienced this.

Happy Sunday, lovelies! Water balloons are the new tool to fight fascism.

Good morning, with what's going on today, I'm gonna repost this bit of scripture...

is this about Greenland or Minneapolis?

Deuteronomy 27:19 “Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow.” Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”

Trump in August 2025: “The United States will not let men steal trophies from women." Trump in January 2026: (fuller context, he meant specifically at the 2028 Olympics)

I understand the tension in this article, and I'm very open to a variety of tactics to oppose 🧊. Everything comes with risk right now.

Resistance is going to be both loud and quiet. But we need to stand clearly for our values. Or we will compromise them away

Some 🧊 kidnappings happen too quickly, before anyone can come to help.

From the @minnesotareformer.com MN "Republicans are forced to stand meekly by and demand Walz — newly liberated without needing to run for election — cooperate with an outside occupying force brutalizing residents and conducting random citizen checks of people of color. Not a great look."

Mourning and action.

Christian witness is about sacrifice and not about comfort. No one wants to be in this position, but our faith calls for it. This is what suffering for your faith means. It's a far cry from not hearing "Merry Christmas" in the store

Happy Saturday, lovelies! (Thanks for the graphic @jacobthomasmpls.bsky.social) There is a anti immigrant, white supremacy rally in Minneapolis today. They plan to march to the working class neighborhood where many Somalis live (and where I went to college)

Minnesotans are helping their neighbors under attack

The Speaker of the House said “ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do.” Abolishing is the floor. We also need prosecutions and impeachments.

This is illegal.

If you can't take the cold, get the fuck out of Minnesota.

They were wearing their masks in a restaurant. How did they expect to eat anyway?

Minnesota is not out of control. It’s holding it together under incredible pressure from federal escalation. Local leaders are calling for peaceful protest, disciplined documentation, and community strength. Chaos only helps those pushing overreach.
