bill clinton requesting a public congressional hearing is fine or whatever but literally no one is stopping him from speaking publicly now. we know you’re guilty dude take all the other creeps down with you

If you're wondering how reporting on Minnesota by people unfamiliar with Minnesota is going, someone located Fort Snelling as sitting at the mouth of the Mississippi River.

Right vs Wrong 101

Tonight our local coffee shop in St Paul opened for neighbors to gather outside with candles to sing and have a place to warm up. In the 4 blocks from my house to the coffee shop we saw 2 other groups gathered with candles & also singing. It's surreal and sad but it's incredibly beautiful.

A comfort to be with neighbors tonight.

Protesters chanting "We're not cold, we're not afraid, Minne[apolis/sota] taught us to be brave" in Boston tonight outside Government Center station.

Only speaking personally, but today’s execution isn’t scaring me from protecting our neighbors, as some suggest is ICE’s goal. Nor am I angry with incandescent rage, in that I know such rage is unhelpful. Rather, I feel like it has forced me to truly accept that the same fate might befall me.

For those who are just finding out about the sheer will of Minnesotans, this isn't a recent thing. Despite a congressional resolution as well as many requests from the state of Virginia, we still won't give back a confederate flag we took from them in the civil war. You know why? Because fuck that.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

Of all the acts of resistance I've heard about from my neighbors here in Minnesota, someone's aunt throwing bologna at an ice vehicle has got to be top 5.

Keep sharing this story. EVERYONE needs to see it. Call people who don't use social media and read it to them. This has to fucking stop.

I shouldn’t even be saying ‘[governor]’s podcast’ at all man what the hell

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely. That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

Keep sharing this story. EVERYONE needs to see it. Call people who don't use social media and read it to them. This has to fucking stop.

hearing from sources that Amelia Bedelia has been arrested in connection with the water-pouring assault. "but it was ICE headquarters," she said

I just want it to be really clear, to people from out of the area, if they see pictures of fires in Minneapolis: THEY WERE STARTED BY ICE. NOT BY PROTESTERS. NOT BY RESIDENTS.

Our collective baseline should be to immediately, reflexively reject ANYTHING CBS, Fox or any Trump mouthpiece says as a lie. Yes, many of us have been doing that. But I also know how hard it can be to retrain yourself to intentionally reject all "reports" from places you may have once considered.

The MN Leg could start its own version of these hearings tomorrow. The IL leg too. Months and months and months and months of them. Don't stop.

I am relieved to hear that he's alive, horrified to hear that he's not receiving medical attention. The video of what happened has been circulating online and it's absolutely fucking horrific.

If any normal person was caught in possession of one of these, they would get a huge fine and go to jail, but these incompetent bootlicker nazis are just forgetting them on the side of the road in the middle of a United States city.

As I was being tailgated down W. River Parkway by a large SUV with tinted windows, the thought occurred to me that it might help if everyone drives a bit slower. Gives observers more time to identify feds. We have a 20 MPH speed limit on residential streets, let’s weaponize it

The whole timeline is fuck ice and fuck Aaron Rodgers. It's beautiful.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

reminder that this isn't just happening in the Twin Cities

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.

They’re like vampires. Don’t let them in. If they say they have a warrant, ask to see the warrant through the peephole. Make sure it’s signed by a judge

I'm at the halfway point of my mother in law staying with us for a month and let's just say that I am expecting to see some pretty damn obvious personal growth in myself by the end of this.

Minnesotans sledding their way down to the ICE OUT of Minnesota march & rally today 🤍 Powderhorn Park, Minneapolis, MN

Can’t make this shit up. 12 ice agents and 6 cars trying to break into the car they locked themselves out of

"Where is this information from? What's the source?" is a question a lot of you need to start asking before sharing anything that matters.

After some reflection it seems I haven't actually said anything new for months. I just keep finding more obscure ways to say "I'm so fucking mad".

ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen. Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo. Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

Oh man...it was 1997, I was 16 and had just read about Jonny Lang in Rolling Stone magazine

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Watching the video of a regular citizen stop a gunman while taking fire at Bondi Beach made me think of Uvalde, and the shame that should never go away.

For fucks sake

Honestly, MTG seems like she got therapy and meds. Still an absolutely loathsome person, but more balanced.

Once again: Thank you, St Paul, for making it easy to vote.

if Bluesky had a dislike button, I would immediately use it on all my posts

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Got a new IUD and a covid vaccine today. That shouldn't feel like civil disobedience, but it does.

I've never been more Midwestern than right now, eating homemade bread and butter pickle slices out of a giant jar as my friend regales me with stories about her day at the Minnesota State Fair.

I love the west side of St Paul. The yard has like 5 chickens in it.

Between Hegseth and the president, I've never seen grown men whine so much about all the power they have.

Democrats texting for money: I'd be more inclined to donate if instead of talking about beating GOP rivals, you promise to oust Schumer & other Dems who block real progress

Would really love for billionaires to hurry up and get to the "end-stage Howard Hughes" part of their wealth crusade where they become recluses and start storing their pee in jars.

I was not expecting the Pop-it Wikipedia to be such a roller coaster.
