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

holy smokes. hell yeah dockworkers.

Nah I don't think so. If you want people to get bloodied and beaten why don't you take your little skinny wimpy ass out there? You could be the sacrifice since that's what you want. Or do you only like to put other people in danger because you're not brave enough to catch up with your mouth?

TikTok bought out by Trump friends. DELETE.

Deescalation is when both sides are escalating, not when "law enforcement" become killers.

fn said so 3 or whatever days ago.

also it's not lost on me that nothing happened (such as Bovino dismissal) until a white man was killed.

"Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest."

The problem with symbolic compliance isn’t just that they fall short of ending violence. It’s also that people duped by the symbols will switch sides to defend the oppressor, emboldening them to become more violent and violate more civil rights than before.

Snow ice cream

It is still snowing here

In the "I watch sports to decompress from all the awful" department, New England Patriots. Super Bowl bound. unbelievable season under a new head coach and 2nd year QB.

All to please a wannabe king who is demented and thrives on violence.

Since @peoplemag.bsky.social is doing such a good job covering this with honesty & the humanity it deserves in spite of this vengeful regime trying to snuff it out, here’s the links to their articles. Give them all the clicks—they earned it.

In case you did NOT see the NRA fully happy to double down on MAGA bs, here it is. Also remember they are a russian propaganda outfit. www.reddit.com/r/liberalgun...

Reddit post, person in MN reports what was heard in crowd: "After they murdered Pretti protesters were yelling at ICE and one of the agents looked directly at the crowd and said, "Boo hoo." Another said "It's just like Call of Duty. Pretty cool."

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.

Again…. Just under 48 hours ago….. seven democrats and all the so called “reasonable” (concerned on Twitter and cnn types) voted to fully fund ICE at its bloated, out of control level. ICE is better funded than most militaries

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

A good time to re-post: "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be,” Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts told Real America’s Voice on Tuesday." www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth Amendments. Where are the government officials standing up for the Constitution and rule of law? Where is the military, supposed to defend the Constitution against threats foreign and domestic?

They are going down the list of amendments now. And the entire ICE action is the most obvious violation of the Fourth Amendment this country has ever seen.

US citizen. Public servant. Licensed to carry a firearm but had no weapon in hand when killed. Attacked by ICE agents with chemical munitions for no reason, then shot. The time for talking is over. If you are an elected leader you have to tell us *now* what you are doing to end this nightmare ASAP.

Governor Walz calls in the National Guard to protect the citizens of Minnesota

Minnesota’s justice system will have the last word.

Excellent article, and excellent substack by one of our own #fellas. If you want to know how Canada's feeling, it's all right here. blackcloudsix.substack.com/p/this-is-wh...

Authoritarian drift is stopped by pressure between ballots, not faith in the next one.

I'm just finding out. sick to my stomach. Fuck this government.

It's still freezing in Minneapolis, and crowds are streaming into downtown. Spontaneous anti-ICE chants breaking out on the sidewalk.

not gonna lie, heating our entire house with a handful of logs a night has made me feel more New England than ever.

They’ve never understood climate change means extremes at both ends

So sick of them lying! The boy was with his father and they grabbed both. They weren’t trying to return him, they wanted to kidnap the rest of the family who are here legally.

what a fucking creepy message.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

I hate this administration so very much www.reddit.com/r/philly/com...

sadly too accurate.

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) struck a blow to the "Tamanneftegaz" oil terminal in the Krasnodar Krai of Russia - one of the largest in the Black Sea region 1/3

Our media is gone. You either have to go to non-corporate media or media outside the U.S.

is there no penalty for blatant lies while speaking? also F this otherwise "I love the police" guy

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

www.reddit.com/r/pics/comme... real dangerous criminal right there.

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

there is no policing manual in which this is *trained, situationally appropriate* behavior. They think there are no limits to their force, and no repercussions. www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...

Is a zero clearance fireplace basically one without a chimney?

I think I need some context. Finnish coffee bread looks like challah. Finnish food includes many forms of preserved fish (incl salmon), so does Jewish food. Dill, check. Beef stews, check. Rye bread, check. is it the proximity to russia and its former prominent and large Jewish population?

Our democracy is rigged for the billionaire class. If you want to know why your wages are shitty and health care is too expensive and your kids’ school is falling apart - that’s why.

on a different note @farmermarvbot.bsky.social are you somewhat nervous about the extreme cold coming like I am? It makes farm stuff just a pita...
