Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff. Game on.

Literally I have told me children about this Halloween as an example of how to be grateful. It will literally never die.

I’m hearing people freak about a military deployment to Minneapolis but it doesn’t change much. It’s scarier but the same. We still outnumber them 100 to 1. They have more guns than us either way. They can shoot us either way. They’ll probably be easier to find and follow if they’re in a tank.

Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped from Minneapolis. He was my neighbor and he died in an American concentration camp. He was not "illegal," he was a human being made in the image of the divine. May his memory be a blessing, and may the rest of us fight like hell until we stop this brutality.

Well this made me tear up. I do that a lot these days. But I love my home and the people on it.

I know I got a lot of Minneapolis peeps on here and they are getting a lot of news coverage and rightfully so! Saint Paul is being hit hard, especially the east side, midway, and frog town areas. We need some eyes, too!!

fwiw these are unionized hotels and their local sent a formal request to employers not to accept ICE bookings or allow ICE to use their facilities www.facebook.com/share/p/1aV9...

ICE agents at a hotel in St. Paul woke up this morning to news that they’re getting kicked out of their hotel today at noon.

Yes! I've been telling people this. One real Minnesota cold snap, and these baby boys are going to fall apart.

Update: The admin is moving to quickly deport witnesses who saw ICE detainee die. They say the man was just trying to get his meds. ICE guards shackled him Then they choked him. The admin moved to deport the witnesses — right after they spoke to WaPo. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Noem's claim is FALSE. Here is ICE's own data on the detention population among those arrested by ICE: - 43% no criminal record (up from 6% at the start of the year), - 29% at least one prior conviction* - 28% at least one pending charge *most common are traffic and immigration offenses.

BRENNAN: Noem called on your to set up a safe zone where protest would be contained. Is that something you're looking at? JACOB FREY: First Amendment speech is not limited to one park or one section of the city. You're allowed to protest so long as you're doing it peacefully

Bad-jacketing Will Stancil with screenshots of cherry-picked old posts when he’s on the ground confronting ICE/CBP is petty and counterproductive. Can he be annoying? Yes. Has he ever been wrong? Yes. So can and have we all. But for god’s sake, leave him be, and let him cook on this ICE/CBP thing.

A joke for the history buffs: Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com titles: “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student — They don’t want to get blamed again“

My husband mocks me for growing up on the skyways. Minnesotans works smarter not harder. No one wants to be in that cold.

Live your life in such a way that an entire city doesn’t want to come out in freezing weather to kick your miserable ass.

A reminder that we are 17 days into the year.

It was always going to go down this way for Bill Cassidy and he could have gone down with principle instead of subjecting us to the horrors of RFK jr

My wife’s at work right now and an ICE car just showed up in the parking lot. Luckily people started coming towards them with cameras out and ready, and they fucked off without incident. GRRRRR.

When I lecture to students about how the apparently thriving economy of the 1920s was really a house of cards just waiting to be knocked down, one of the points I stress is how much a small number of the very rich were essentially propping up consumer spending in unsustainable ways

damn what is wrong with me, i am having the hardest time concentrating on work, i lament as i compulsively refresh live feeds of unspeakable horrors

This and Mamdani’s revocation of all EOs after Adams’s corrupt bargain are the template moving forward. No nibbling around the edges; total bulldozing.

So be it. If this is the price to stop an invasion of Greenland it's worth it. We can only hope this is a sign he doesn't have the will for a military confrontation.

NEWS: A federal judge found that ICE had repeatedly retaliated against peaceful protesters in unconstitutional ways — and barred agents involved in Minnesota's "Operation Metro Surge" from using similar tactics and force. w/ @joshgerstein @hassankanu www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Nasra Ahmed, 23, was stopped by ICE in St. Paul while heading to pick up seizure and anxiety medication. She told agents she’s a U.S. citizen born in Hennepin County, but was detained anyway and is now jailed without bail as her family fears for her health. (Twin Cities PP)

Hey, so, OB-GYN shortages are bad for women. This is exactly what happens when you put moronic, anti-science men in charge of women’s health.

Only the best people.

With apologies to the Toronto Star, here’s a non-paywalled version of their excellent account of riding along on ICE watch with me a few days ago

The ICE guy I was tailing decided to show me he knows where I live. You can’t really see in the video, but as he drove past my place he reached out the window and pointed at my apartment. Real tough guy

Read the whole article but this is a pretty big take away.

News from me: Trump has lost yet again in court over the stop work order halting Coastal Virginia offshore wind The offshore wind sector is now 3/3 in court this week @heatmap.news #greensky #climatesky #energysky

You can't just say you want to Abolish the Harkonnens without stopping to think about all the people employed to install heart plugs into the Baron's slaves who have no other job skills or experience who would be losing their healthcare & retirement accounts if we take away heart plug jobs entirely

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

Politicians aren't going to stop a paramilitary occupation. Historically, people have. And that's what we're seeing in Minneapolis right now. From me. prospect.org/2026/01/16/w...

The NY Times concludes that the ICE agent who shot Renee Good was NOT hit by her car “the visual evidence shows no indication that..Jonathan Ross, had been run over..It also establishes-millisecond by millisecond-how Mr. Ross put himself in a dangerous position near her vehicle in the first place”

Remember, driving down his numbers isn’t just about winning the midterms. It’s about emboldening Americans of all stripes to stand up to him and his thugs in the streets, and ensuring the military refuses to fire on protesters when inevitably order to do so.

“We raised our children here. We have families here. We see that people are showing up for us from different communities. We have to mobilize ourselves,” Halimo said. “I am not scared, and we will not be scared. We know our rights." sahanjournal.com/immigration/...

This is one of my husband's favorite stories. Sharing cause it's wholesome.

“A bruise is internal bleeding” In case anyone was still taking CBS News(max) seriously

The more info we get about this raid, the worse it becomes. ICE had NO valid warrant (administrative warrants do not authorize forceful entry into a home), the guy's sole prior conviction was a since-dismissed drug charge from 2008, AND he had checked in with ICE just days earlier.

80 co-sponsors on resolution impeaching Noem on three articles: obstruction of Congress, 'violation of public trust' (ICE crimes), and self-dealing corruption. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

The government is taking people who’ve done everything the right way, and who go to every appointment and fill out every piece of paperwork and abducting and hauling them to Texas and making them start the whole process over again

Oh yeah, Massachusetts is prepping. Apparently this bakery had anti-ice cookies and received death threats. They won't be open their usual hours tomorrow. Not out of fear, out of baked goods. They completely sold out and need to spend tomorrow restocking. fallriverreporter.com/massachusett...

Stephen Miller's invasions are utterly atrocious but they're also renewing civil society in every city he invades.

Weird times here.

Jimmy Kimmel offers to let Trump have one of his trophies if he will pull ICE out of Minneapolis.

Because the media does not know how to frame what is happening, they keep referring to regular Minnesotans as protesters. But there is very explicit training that so many people done to learn how to be a constitutional observer. People are bearing witness to kidnappings, with phones and whistles.
