Help these ladies keep their neighborhood safe and warm up with a cup of tea! They could really use it today, while their neighborhood is blighted by white supremacists. The Venmo ID for Cedar Riverside Protection Alliance is CRwork26. Thanks @wedge.live for the great suggestion and Venmo info.

If you’re in the Twin Cities and want to do the most minimal thing to annoy ICE, drive the fucking speed limit. These goons get so angry when 20 is plenty.

Note: Minnesota is full of great writers who need work. Stop putting your dudes on planes and start hiring local writers. I've now connected two folks. I can find you more. *I do not want this work I have a syllabus to finish this ain't about me.

Immigration attorney: The arrest "during a Minnesota immigration crackdown that the Department of Homeland Security has called its largest enforcement operation ever, was a “blatant constitutional violation,” since the agents did not have a proper warrant..." www.minnpost.com/public-safet...

Me, reading and studying history: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me, realizing I am living through a historical event: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

ICE is making the police department’s job borderline impossible. They’re actively causing a lot of chaos AND they’re frightening people into a level of non-cooperation that is unsustainable. MPD has issues but has spent years trying pretty hard to rebuild some trust; feds are torching it for fun.

National treasure is right! Let's keep Goddard Spaceflight Center funded and functional. (Including their library!)

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

These peaceful observers I spoke to had ICE show up at their homes in what they see as attempts at intimidation. ICE has somehow been accessing Minnesotans' private data in likely violation of state law, according to privacy advocates. share.google/J00lpWzPzOu2...

I live in Ward 11, and was wondering why she challenged the DFL-endorsed candidate last election. Guess now we know why.

Trump is clearly not well. At a meeting with oil industry CEO’s Trump suddenly interrupts his introductory remarks, gets up and looks out the window and starts talking about his ballroom. Trump then realizes his mistake and says “unusual time to look”, and sits back down to continue.

DHS Releases Watchlist Of Mothers Driving Cars https://theonion.com/dhs-releases-watchlist-of-mothers-driving-cars/

The Timberwolves held a moment of silence for Renee Nicole Good, who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.

Ah, yes, the daily routine of watching my kids’ schools’ ICE signal chats in case I need to rush down there because one of the parents on patrol sees a classmate or teacher getting kidnapped by the federal government.

Kristi Noem Calls Fatal Minneapolis Shooting Cathartic

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

🧵 photo essay that tells what REALLY happened. [no overly graphic images included]. screenshots from several vids to show the sequence from different angles. links are in the comments. permission to share any and everywhere! ✊ 1/10

Just realized we have a well-established household protocol for There Was A State-Sponsored Murder A Few Blocks Away and wow would I like to live in a country where that isn’t necessary

ICE came to terrorize us. Minneapolis is not having it.

Kudos to @mprnews.org for putting this editor's note at the top of their live, ongoing coverage, which states in plain language that witnesses dispute ICE's version of events. Updated coverage here: www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Dan Bongino and Greg Bovino are two different people. Bovino is the one in uniform getting refused service. He’s Border Patrol. Bongino is a podcast bro who worked for the FBI. Not scolding, merely informing that those two dopes are sadly two people and not just one abortion of a person

100 years from now, people will look at clips like this and be like "Really, that was the guy?"

Another reminder that the assault on scientific funding was broadly unpopular, even within the President's own party

Trump spreading lies about Melissa Hortman’s assassination - just why? To what end? Other than to show how low he can go? There is zero validity in what he’s peddling, and it’s unacceptable for any leader to hawk such BS.

Happy new year, we’re at war with Venezuela for no reason.

ALERT: The Trump Administration is dismantling NASA’S Goddard Library and BURNING ARCHIVES!! How do you put people on Mars without science?! Is this how to make America great again in knowledge, exploration and innovation?

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

This “Biotech” has raised more than half a billion USD. Imagine what real conservation work that could fund.

Gen-X and older Minnesota folks, here's a bit of nostalgia for your Christmas gift.

CRP is crucial to protecting grassland bird habitat while paying farmers fairly. With >95% of Midwestern prairie lost, we need CRP now more than ever!

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5. He’s been taken by ICE in Florida. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/16/s...

FINALLY action from Congress to save Goddard Space Flight Center: @lofgren.house.gov belatedly demands a halt to the destruction that began on September 24th

@planetarysociety.bsky.social is the Planetary Society paying attention to what's going on at Goddard Spaceflight Center in Maryland? Media outlets are reporting major cuts, even expensive scientific equipment in dumpsters.

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

The Trump regime is East Winging the Goddard Space Flight Center, home to the 10,000 scientists and engineers in NASA science and engineering directorates.

Flying Squirrel Loves It Every Time

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag. Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Department of Interior's RIF plan (released Monday) includes MASSIVE (70-80%) staff cuts to Midwest environmental science jobs at USGS and USFWS. (1 of 5) @amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov @governorwalz.mn.gov

I really think we need to reconceptualize this shutdown as the last stand for the rule of law and Art I. Bring it to default if that’s what it takes. If Congress can’t assert the power of the purse, we are in “move to Portugal” territory of screwed.

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone. And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

happy sunday, remember that you are completely expendable to your employer and that when you die they will forget you ever existed within weeks and easily replace you

I feel like Joseph Heller had their number back in the 60's in Catch-22 and I still think of this quote whenever I hear farm owners complaining about socialism or benefits or taxes. It was a short little aside but it stuck with me for like 25 years.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

GO OFF LORD GRANTHAM

On the left is a post today from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. On the right is literal Nazi propaganda from the 1930s.
