If you’re up late on Sunday and need a gleeful horror to distract you from the other horrors, Evil Dead 2 is on Pluto rn. (It’s about half way through. You just missed the “Who’s laughing now??!!” scene).

I needed some art + solitude today so I went up to the Franconia Sculpture Garden

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally

Oh, so Portland has, like, a Mayor Mayor.

The hyper vigilance. I feel it in my bones. Every blacked out SUV. Every idling SUV. An out of state plate. Mundane shit that is now suspicious. And I find myself actively upset at people who are in those vehicles (even though I fully recognize how irrational and unreasonable that is).

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

Wife, from other room: "Is that a helicopter?" Me, sits up quietly, tense, listening and wondering what new fresh hell, then remembers: "No, that's the washing machine."

Would such thundersome alighting send the rest of us skyward, a tumult of fascists and Appaloosas, hymnals and Sig Sauers whirligigging in the shattered light of the ionosphere

You’re describing an emergency. The world is also watching you and waiting for you to do something. Are you going to establish an eviction moratorium? Rent is due today.

Minneapolis has shown we don’t need a charter amendment or an ordinance to build a department of public safety. In just two months, under a federal occupation, we have shown the world what it looks like to build community-led safety, and how we can abolish ICE & the police.

This is a very good and very important question. Aside from the obvious, it also draws on something deeper and connecting we all need right now now. The vulnerability and humanity of our inevitable end and a hope that this life meant something other than this.

Just moments ago the parkway was TAKEN OVER by winter cyclists. At first I thought hundreds, but they just kept coming. Thousands and thousands! I almost cried. I’m so dang proud of MN right now.

The strange mix of ache and hope when you share a moment of quiet solidarity with a member coming through: flatbeds loaded full of diapers and non perishables.

Been listening to Coltrane. Mostly, the '63 box set. Got home, put on it on shuffle, cleaned the kitchen deeply and this kitchen is what passes for *very clean* these days. Something about an artist, crafting a chaos, to find a resonating core and, us, resonating in this specifically crafted chaos.

I've personally had barely any ICE encounters. I've done patrolling when I can. And my body is just yelling at me that it's wrecked. Even doing a little bit is fucking taxing. Everyone doing more is a superhero, and I don't think folks who haven't been involved in an occupation understand the toll.

happy FUCK ICE FRIDAY from the Whipple Building

<———- Has been on Ayd Mill Road twice in the last two weeks.

<——— Hadn’t been on Ayd Mill road in probably 30-odd years.

Was talking to someone new on here recently about how one upside of everything is finding out there are loads of cool people in town you haven't followed yet. I saw this person's avatar and about fell out of my chair (and followed)!

That people are taking Tom Homan, a documented corrupt goon who built up the infrastructure of mass deportation in this county, as some voice of reason is a failure of an entire society.

We need some language in the nomination that a very specific list of people are not allowed to accept the award on behalf of the city. Like, they don't even get to be on stage or associated with this in any way, shape or form.

I liked it better when songs about Minneapolis were about how pumped the singer was to only have 24 hours left in the tour bus before they got back to the city, back to life.

The Hortmans were assassinated seven months ago. The Annunciation Church school shooting was five months ago. Renee Good was murdered three weeks ago to the day. It has been eight days since they took 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father. It has been four days since Alex Pretti was murdered.

Rabbits United Against ICE Minnehaha Parkway Minneapolis, MN 1/28/26

After the Springsteen song, YouTube autoplay served up Bowie and Reznor's "I'm Afraid of Americans".

Boosting this GFM for Ward 11 rental assistance organized by @jamisonwhiting.bsky.social. Also includes an email address for folks in W11 to contact if they need assistance: www.gofundme.com/f/minneapoli...

just saw 4 ice agents go up to a house and knock and within 1 minute there were 30 people out whistling and they left. we will not take our foot off the gas

“A popular destination for protestors.” The word is locals. People who live here.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

If I was a Democratic leader-type person, I simply wouldn't go on the podcast where the guy looks so confused by everything he hears. "Wait, wait, wait, wait....Wait! You're telling me that cold, thin, but strangely savory pancake comes from.....the poe-tate-TOE??!!!"

Ilhan Omar is an American hero. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

I can't wait to see how we make Tom Homan crash out. He's an alcoholic so I think we can really leverage that. Let's get him a DUI and a set of whiskey plates

"Patient, plodding, a green skin growing over whatever winter did to us, a return to the strange idea of continuous living despite the mess of us, the hurt, the empty. Fine then, I'll take it, the tree seems to say, a new slick leaf unfurling like a fist to an open palm, I'll take it all."

anyone else feel like this thing has been crazy close to midnight the entire time youve been sentient, so moving it gives you no emotional response

Here’s the deal, they captured my face standing outside of my kid’s preschool in a high-viz vest. The database is going to be so big it’ll be useless. Employers will ask why you aren’t in the database and unless you explain you were doing mutual aid, the people hiring will think you’re a bad person.

If you're wondering how reporting on Minnesota by people unfamiliar with Minnesota is going, someone located Fort Snelling as sitting at the mouth of the Mississippi River.

Ice luminaries on Lake Nokomis, which is on a flight path from MSP airport. #ICEout

It’s not over.

Hoo boy this article is good. As one of ana’s chauffeurs on a boring commute this captures it perfectly

My report from Minneapolis, about the things you'll never see. newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Lake Nokomis tonight #community

more people are still mobilizing. train them up so you can recharge and we can sustain long term. this is the new world. the future is arriving now. let’s go.

Until every taqueria is open and partying without fear of ICE, I'm not letting off the gas

dream bigger. ask for more. take more space back. reduce your dependence on consumerism and the state. take care of each other.

the power holders see what’s happening and trying to make symbolic concessions to divert destabilizing energy. the time to push harder is now.
