EVERY FUCKING BLOCK. This is what resistance to a fascist authoritarian regime looks like. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

Middle age mothers and teenagers in Minneapolis are 100 times more brave than armed Uvalde policemen.

This is...a very big number.

Minnesota nice (except for ICE).

-15F mind you.

Like I said

Republicans like to call this "standing your ground."

Ben Damberg protest volunteer: “None of us want to be doing this — I don’t, but we simply cannot stand by as other Minnesotans are being hurt — we will march, we will protest, & we will do it all peacefully above all else”

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

As we saw after the 2020 election, winning a battle is not winning the war. If we elect the same feckless Democratic collaborators (Schumer & Jeffries) this year and in 2028, we *will* lose the war.

The Venn diagram between people who are "independent voters" and those who are trying to drive through downtown Minneapolis right now is a solid circle.

I mean...

Look at my people!!!

We don't even need it to be "general." Do the transportation industry (trucking, train, air) and that will grind the country to a halt.

Disclaimer: if we keep the elections free and fair.

These folks letting people use their “warm, pro-democracy bathroom”.

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

LOL

Made it to street level. I met @maxnesterak.bsky.social as he is interviewing for the @minnesotareformer.com. Thank you to all the journalists covering today for print, photo, and more. It is hard to get a sense of the scale of tens of thousands of people from Street level.

EVERYONE WITH DEMOCRATIC SENATORS Call them NOW and demand they filibuster (or support one) to kill any ICE funding bill. It takes less than five minutes to call both your Senators. Please share and do it now! (Minnesota: Klobuchar: 202-224-3244 Smith: 202-224-5641)

Sisu, Minnesota! SISU!!! #MinnesotaStrong

Minneapolis, don't bother trying to get close to the action in your cars. Make plans to walk or take public transit.

Time to watch this, everyone. Pay close attention to this speech. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K3R...

Fairly certain there is a LOT of panic going on behind the scenes at the WH right now with regards to his health.

Glen Kirschner.

So many options for the American Bastille. So many.

He's gonna play the Casino circuit soon.

Board of *Fleece*

99% of Americans have no clue what this will mean for us.

Minnesota (Minneapolis) is doing the kind of thing that monuments, songs, and poetry get made for. #MinnesotaStrong

Minnesota underestimates how much inspiration and hope we are giving to the country and the world. Now watch us do it at -20F #MinnesotaStrong

You know what it takes to stop Senate business? Literally raising one finger. One. This means I "I filibuster." Memo to every goddamned Democrat in the Senate, especially the two from Minnesota: We are out in -25F fighting for our freedoms & our lives, while you can't lift one finger.

It's the Board of *Fleece*

-35F Chickens watered & fed, dogs taken on ski, coffee made, time to write (yes, there is a ton of resistance and truth in my writing). Give 'em absolute hell, Minneapolis! I'll be down as soon as I'm able. #MinnesotaStrong

Ya, well... #MinnesotaStrong

"Please pay attention to me! PUH-LEASE!!!!!!"

Kinda disappointed that no reporter asked if he'd been vigorously shaking hands with his left hand.

This tragedy happened in a zone I know well. Spanish-speakers, listen to the sweet accent from Andalucía.

I don't much like Amy, but she can win which is a helluva lot better than the pillow guy or Jensen, the deranged doctor going for his third try.

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

Deporting children with cancer. Using a 5-year-old as bait. Shooting moms. ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

Hello, United States military? Hello??

What was the purpose of our National Guard, @governorwalz.mn.gov ?

Another angry and near-hysterical note of "do something over there!!!" from an old French friend and I am weary. None of them understand what we are living and what we are doing.

Well, *someone's* writing about it.

1/2: Finally watched Carney's speech. He sees the big picture and it is this: The entire western world is moving on without the U.S. and they are doing it *very fast.* I lived in Europe, was there for the fall of the Iron Curtain, and majored in history.

If it was unclear what he was going to do, he still needs to go.
