This is all part of a long process that predates this administration, to militarize law enforcement against the public: www.justsecurity.org/72061/head-o...

Urgent: Recently I heard that Texas attorneys were needed to file pro bono habeus petitions for those moved from MN to TX. Does anyone know who is organizing this? I have someone interested in learning more. (I may have heard this from @ziibiing.com but know she is a little busy right now)

Wednesday, January 29, 1936: Ironed today. Marg and Erwin came up in the aft. Went to the R.H.S. card party (Ma, Pa, & Bob). I bet for a prize but lost. Retired at 12:30. #1936diary

Has Betty McCollum ever held an in-person town hall? She's represented me for decades and I never hear of her being in the community. I've heard multiple first-hand stories of her office's excellent constituent services, which is important. But maybe 26 years is enough.

Would have been way cooler to be invaded by these guys

Tuesday, January 28, 1936: We washed today. Didn't do much else but dry clothes. Went to bed at 8:30. #1936diary

I’m old enough to remember when the USG kidnapped Khalid El-Masri by mistake (wrong guy), tortured him in a CIA black site for months anyway, then dropped him off on the side of the road to find his way home. No justice to this day. What we allow the govt to do abroad will always come home.

The will to fight at the state level is wonderful. I’m glad to see that there are some people who are willing and able to fight in courts, but what is needed is a comprehensive, national plan to hold people accountable if and when power shifts hands. I flat out don’t see this energy from natl Dems.

tonight’s data snapshot on NewsHour

Half a billion on terrorizing citizens but we can’t have universal healthcare or basic income or affordable housing or public transit or

I've been there twice. Had a JL the first time and it was so horrible that next time I had a grilled cheese. Only reason I went back was because a colleague from Sydney really wanted to try it. Also went to the 5-8 once and the burger tasted like literal 💩

Last week, my office released the following consumer alert on how Minnesotans can protect their digital privacy from DHS agents. I urge all Minnesotans to take steps to protect themselves online from the federal government’s overreach and lawlessness.

Monday, January 27, 1936: I made my four towels today and Mother made my blue figured dress. Read some magazines Marv brought home from Helen's. Retired at 8:45 #1936diary

Again, too early to spike the football, but a USCG C130 just flew from DC to Watertown, SD, where Noem lives. One could fantasize they’re picking up DHS equipment that no longer needs to be stationed up there.🤞 globe.adsbexchange.com?icao=ae57d2

Sunday, January 26, 1936: As it was 17˚ Marv & I & Bob walked to church. I got a ride home with Ohmanns. We didn't have any company. Stayed home in the evening as usual. #1936diary

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

I've witnessed more than 1,000 shackled people boarding ICE flights at MSP - I've never seen any kids. I'm deeply concerned that Delta Air Lines, the only carrier with scheduled non-stop flights between Minneapolis and San Antonio, might be flying children out of Minnesota for ICE.

Lake Nokomis tonight #community

Minnesota's state bird is the loon. I love it because loons kick butt. A couple of years ago a bald eagle was found dead. It was floating near a dead loon chic. After wildlife biologists did an radiograph on the eagle to determine how it died...

I made today’s quilted heart for my neighbors in Minnesota. It’s hard to wrap my head around what’s happened there. Stay strong neighbors! Hugs and love coming your way! 🧵🪡 💙🫶🏻 ☮️ #ifaqh #quiltedheart #FDT #peace #Minnesota

Just a CBP plane casually capturing IMSI while shopping at Costco.

Saturday, January 25, 1936: It was 10˚ below today. This is getting to be a weather report. Ma & Pa went to town. I cleaned & scrubbed the kitchen. Played rummy as usual took a bath and went to bed 10:00 #1936diary

She's a tiny baby

I've been studying the history of US, and indeed, global policing my whole career and I can't make it more clear to law makers that this isn't a bastardization of policing, it is its purest form and logical conclusion. The impunity, militarization, deference, legitimacy, racial targeting, etc.

Friday, January 24, 1936: It was 27º below today. Embroidered and cut out blocks. Played rummy after supper. Went to bed at 9:30 #1936diary

30+ people on our residential street corner tonight in MacGrove and we could see other groups in all directions. Felt amazing being with neighbors🕯

My sweet greyhound threw up her breakfast this morning. The evil deeds being done by ICE even makes dogs sick.

We need all of the dashcams we can get in Minnesota ASAFP for ICE observers. You can shoot us cash with a few taps via this link and we’ll order them wholesale and get them deployed to Minneapolis, the suburbs, and beyond: ottergoose.net/dashcam/

Reporters of Minnesota: Delta’s the only airline with non-stop flights to San Antonio - are they taking ICE money to fly kids to detention centers?

Just want to say that the whistle making/distribution network is something magical. They are getting them where they are needed across the country. Just amazing.

What's involved in their security screening that a mask must be removed??

Thursday, January 23, 1936: It was plenty cold yet today, 29º below. Bob didn't go to school again. I embroidered as usual. Went to bed at 9:15. #1936diary

MN protestors #protip put 2 Idaho Russets in the oven at 420 degrees for 45 min, take them out and foil wrap, 1 in each pocket before you go out. Theyll stay warm for 3-4 hours even in this weather and you can eat em when you like. They used to send us kids out like this back in the 70s trust me.

Wednesday, January 22, 1936: It was 32º below today. The house didn't get warm all day. I worked on my pillow cases today. Played rummy after supper and retired at 9:00. #1936diary

Wish I could check the cameras but a few are missing right now (because you know who)

Couch fucker is landing rn

Historically, successful guerrilla movements create a sort of paranoia in the security forces. “Anyone could be a rebel” slides into “Everyone’s a rebel.” Which inevitably leads to harassment of innocent civilians. Which, by the brutal calculus of resistance, increases rebel sympathies.

I keep thinking about how we haven’t seen minors boarding the dedicated deportation flights here at MSP; how many kids are the commercial airlines at Minneapolis - St. Paul International flying to detention camps, and which airlines are they? Whistleblowers, ping me on Signal: ottergoose.11

Because you still deserve nice things despite fascism, here is my annual Oscar cheat sheet with current stream options (the rest are still theater-only).

Mayor Her's appearance on PBS NewsHour. Why is the US flag blowing in the breeze? Saint Paul flag completely still www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0bW...

Clearly @klobuchar.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com is in the Epstein files herself. That is the only conclusion I can draw after today. I previously thought she was just clueless but there has to be something more nefarious going on.

This is just inside the door of my locked office building. Because pepper spray is being deployed without care for what’s nearby and mostly because an ice agent doesn’t like the sound of a whistle. Call your elected officials. You do not want federal occupation in your city.

Tuesday, January 21, 1936: Mother canned meat today. I worked on my rug today but didn't finish it yet. Marv & Bob went to Rosemount for B.B. Went to bed at 10:00 #1936diary

Recording is up now. 7+ SPPD officers pulled her over and allowed CBP to detain her

Monday, January 20, 1936: Mother & Dad went to Zechmeister's today. Pa butchered a cow & pig. It was 24º below today. I worked on my silk rug. Retired at 9:00. #1936diary

I had MPR playing this morning while I was doing some stuff. Did I hear correctly that a woman was arrested/detained by ST PAUL POLICE after a false 911 call from a plainclothes federal agent?? www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...
