Have seen T-wolves Bluesky erupting in outrage yet over Naz Reid trade? Maybe I follow the wrong people.

Congratulations to Elon on becoming the world’s first trillionaire from London 🔥

Screwworms eradicated in the US in 1966. Measles eradicated in the US in 2000. Both are back because of this science denying administration.

D-Day commemoration at Omaha Beach, June 6, 2024. A D-Day veteran to Ukrainian President Zelensky: “You’re a savior of the people. My hero.” Zelensky: “No, no, you saved Europe. You are our hero.”

ICE vehicles have been seen this morning in the Corcoran and Powderhorn neighborhoods/ South Minneapolis. It would be great to get extra support from community today. Please help out in your local area. 1/

America is not just losing the Iran war; we are falling behind as a revolution in military affairs proceeds around us. From today's Triad (link in reply):

Holy shit this cartoon.

Nobody was using this freeway this morning, they should probably take it out.

We’re going back to Selma and Montgomery. Why? The Supreme Court destroyed the Voting Rights Act, and the country needs to be reminded who we were before Civil Rights - and why we can’t go back.

When a king says you’re too kingy

Hey Virginia, If you got in line by 7 PM, you still have the right to vote. Stay in line. Don’t leave. #VoteYesVirginiaToday

Democrats can get Tom Emmer out for good in the Republican primary on August 11 by voting for Mike Foley.

Hello, Congress. This is your moment. Right now. This. Do something or resign.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

Pope Leo on Palm Sunday: “This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: ‘Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood’ (Is 1:15).”

Bruce Springsteen apparently can’t get enough of the Twin Cities. Before he kicks off his tour in Minneapolis, he’ll perform at the No Kings rally on Saturday at the Minnesota Capitol in St. Paul.

To those who are traveling to the U.S. to see the Football championships…. You still have time to cancel. It is not worth the risk.

SCOOP. From my OUR LAND newsletter: Trump's DOJ is helping to get a convicted FBI informant tied to Russian intelligence out of prison. The lie this guy told the FBI—Joe Biden took a $5m bribe from Burisma—was the main evidence for the GOP impeachment drive. 1/2 link.motherjones.com/public/44694...

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Well, this should be a record-breaking day nokings.org

On this Caribbean Island, Kid Rock still means the title of a playlist made by Jeffrey Epstein. But they do know this: Your past support of statutory rape is erased when you accept Jesus and Charlie Kirk into your heart.

New York Times’ Brett Anderson on Minnesota’s secret grocery networks keeping hungry families fed as ICE tries to starve citizens and non-citizens of color. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/d... (gift link). Brett is a Minnesota native, former Twin Cities Reader writer & award-wining food journalist.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

People not in Minneapolis spreading the theory that Pretti was targeted in a hit do not understand the damage they’re potentially doing. Insanely irresponsible

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.

Tyler O'Ryan Gramlin, 32, of Borden, IN is a Border Patrol Agent who has traveled from state to state committing extreme violence. On Jan 21, 2026 Gramlin emptied a can of pepper spray directly in the face of a prone protester at point-blank range in Minneapolis #MPLS #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE

Minnesota's Republican House Speaker Lisa Demuth made a Facebook post critical of an anti-ICE protest at a church, and got ratioed by her own daughter in the comments www.facebook.com/LisaforMN/po...

So here's the deal. We're gonna close in protest of federal occupation on Friday. If you want to buy a drink for the local queer soccer bar and some Minnesotans who are fighting ICE everyday, we've started a tab for Thursday and Saturday night. www.blackhartstp.com/new-products...

The Nobel Prize museum in Oslo subtweeting the fuck out of Trump today.

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

Work From Home Even if you can’t risk hitting the streets, there are other important ways to contribute to community safety efforts. Read the full article:

Tim Walz: "I want Minnesotans to hear this from me. The desire to get out and protest and to speak up to this administration of how wrong this is -- that is a patriotic duty at this point in time. But it needs to be done safely."

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day. Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me. 🧵

Opinion | The US cannot be pulled into an endless war in Venezuela. Democrats must end their Epstein inquiry NOW.

This could wind up being the most-watched newsmagazine segment in television history!! Congratulations to the Ellisons and Bari Weiss!!!

Calling MSP airport commission…

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Hi, I’m God. Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Thanks, God
