The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

“Hi. I’m the New York Times. To get interesting information and perspective on what’s happening in Minneapolis, I decided to go 150 miles away from it and talk to people who have no fucking idea what they’re talking about on the subject.”

From @startribune.com comparing size of CPB/ICE surge in Minnesota to the 10 largest metro police departments.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

Where is the World Cup hosted again this year

THAT’S MY STATE I DON’T KNOW YOU

Day 2 of all day/all night helicopters in St Paul MN. Door to door ICE raids. I’ve been saving this magic for 30 years but it might be time.

I was never a big fan of those "how would this be covered if it happened in other countries" takes. OTOH, I do need everyone who's not here in the Twin Cities to understand that we have officially reached the "murders and disappearances" stage.

Wharton must feel so proud.

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

ICE approaching a teenage girl and U.S. CITIZEN on her way to soccer practice and snooping around her car with giant guns is not making us safer.   All it does is terrorize our kids.

Map shows reports of ICE activity in and around the Twin Cities on Sunday alone. Los Angeles and New York shown for comparison. This particular resource may be less utilized in other cities, but it’s clear that Minnesotans are not afraid to continue documenting the actions of these thugs.

I tried to turn my rage yesterday into something that brings us some light. For @newrepublic.com, I wrote about how 2020 prepared Minneapolis for the current crisis of Trump's DHS. newrepublic.com/article/2050...

Federal immigration officers are pulling out of a Louisiana crackdown and heading to Minneapolis in an abrupt pivot from an operation that drew protests around New Orleans and aimed to make thousands of arrests, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

A headline to sum up our times:

No I said don’t tread on *me*. You can get treaded on.

They say the immigrants steal the hubcaps of respected gentlemen… They say it would be all wine and roses of Greenland were for Greenlanders again

Keith Ellison in @michellegoldberg.bsky.social’s piece really nailed it, didn’t he? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/o...

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

If he lasts as long over there as Wilfried Nancy, Eric Ramsay can still start the MLS season as the MNUFC manager

MINNEAPOLIS, United States -- Paramilitary forces under the command of President Trump expanded their campaign of terrorism to a new major American city, attacking a school and killing an unarmed civilian attempting to flee the violence.

I call on my football club and local sports media to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the fans where they can participate online without enabling the fascism, white supremacy and child porn cheered on by the owner of X... #NCFC

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

go get 'em Keith

Frey: So, they are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly: That is bullshit.

they are recruiting for the worst, bottom-of-the-barrel chuds imaginable and those chuds are behaving exactly as you'd expect

jackbooted regime thugs are invading cities and shooting people in the face america, 2026

All I can think of is the lame “2000 Quatluus on the newcomers” aliens from Star Trek. Have we really fallen this far?

Even more darkly funny that Limp Bizkit turned out to be so prophetic after all

Five years ago.

MN politics thought dump #2: Image consultants somehow convinced both Walz and Klobuchar to forego glasses for big events and tv spots. This has clearly been a mistake. #walz #minnesota

MN politics thought dump #1: Minnesota always begs to be in the spotlight until it's time to be in the spotlight. This is what it means! (Also, I live here, so can we go back in our comfy hole now?) #walz #minnesota

We had a good run

It is almost like the FIFA prize had no real meaning.

Parker's piece nails why this matters. "Tech companies... would rather not answer for their products’ failures. Every headline that says “Grok apologizes” or “Grok admits” or “Grok says” creates a world where the chatbot takes the fall while Musk and his executives face no scrutiny whatsoever."

Ruin two bands by combining them: blondie antwoord

As long as we say “Merry Christmas” I guess

Paging an old friend on Bluesky who I shall not name.

This hurts for sure. A few days into the feelings and here's my hot take: could we/sould we have signed him in Oct/Nov? Yes. Would we or should we have signed him last off season? Not so clear! 1/2

In this Ohio diner, 60 Minutes still means the amount of supervised visitation you get with your kids until you can pass a drug test. But they do know this: no news report can be trusted unless it includes Stephen Miller's side of the story.

I have to say I think it was a mistake putting Barry White in charge of CBS News. Great singer but he’s no journalist, and he’s been dead for 20 years

Soccer this weekend. Open early Thursday for palace. Open all the time to get blackout drunk and yell at the wall about Dayne going to Miami.

That traitor is going to make your coffee fucking expensive would have been a slogan in retrospect
