Nooooooo! Please don’t go! #GoBears!

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Man tackled to ground after spraying unknown substance on Rep. Ilhan Omar at town hall in Minneapolis.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

I don't remember this part of the Schoolhouse Rock cartoon

As an early career researcher one of the most jarring parts of this moment is the disconnect between rhetoric about science (the words themselves are frankly promising) but the actions and programs have been incredibly disruptive. Opportunities shrinking and uncertainty do not promote innovation.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

As a libertarian, I think it’s important that Americans understand that if they just do what the government says, they won’t get shot.

This is from one of Alex Pretti’s nursing students. Anyone who worked in hospitals — especially a VA, understands how demanding and challenging the environment can be. The fact that this is how he is remembered by the people who worked alongside him speaks volumes about the person he was.

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti Absolutely heartbreaking

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Alex Pretti was already restrained when federal agents shot and killed him in Minneapolis, a New York Times analysis of video shows. The footage contradicts the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the shooting.

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

There is no more greater victory in all of sport than the California Golden Bears cultivating the Farm into Bear Territory.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

President Trump has ended a 9th war—between Denmark and the United States—which all but guarantees his second Nobel Peace Prize. by Hugh Hewitt

Miami Canes QB Carson Beck was asked about classes, he said he graduated 2 yrs ago. I'm confused, how does that work?

@timkawakami.bsky.social Oy. 😞

Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social Is the tie peaking out below the button thing bad? It seems off to me. How does one prevent this?

I'm so tired. This is not an evidence-based assertion. As a public health practitioner, I highly recommend getting your flu shot and masking up when you can (especially if you don't feel well).
