Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

Bears vs. Trail cameras

It’s time. I want the see Steve Kerr’s Warriors and Minneapolis’ Timberwolves agree that they simply cannot play this game tonight. A strike in solidarity with the besieged city and its murdered and abducted residents.

And the war came.

And so it begins. The payback for standing up to Trump is coming. Count on Trump and MAGA Maple attempting to tear our nation apart by reaching out to the false losers in the Alberta separatist party and Donbass Danielle Smith. Watch the traitors come out from under their rocks.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

If this isn't an ominous sign then I don't know what is?...the American Police State is fully here.

#GVerse Congressman Jared Huffman Launches Fierce Attack on #Shit4Brains “if we're real, if we're honest about what's going on, we have a madman in the White House."

There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

If a US president was deliberately trying to harm America's long-term economic and geopolitical standing in the world, it'd be hard to come up with a more effective strategy than what Trump has done in the past year.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

A man told me yesterday that it was important to "take emotion out of the equation“ when analysing the situation in the US, at which point I told him very calmly that "a woman who disagrees with you is not necessarily emotional". Ladies, it was a breakthrough. I should have done this years ago.

#PrinceHarry “Thousands of lives were changed forever. Mothers and fathers buried sons and daughters. Children were left without a parent. Families are left carrying the cost. #USPRESIDENT has offended, insulted, disrespected those NATO forces that responded to USA war in Afghanistan. #USpoli

Minnesota is the best of us.

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy. Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

Pierre Poilievre was uncharacteristically silent for two days after Mark Carney's big speech in Davos. When he finally opened his mouth, he confirmed just how far out of his political and intellectual depth he is right now. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/23/o...

Dr Assal Rad— "This is genocide profiteering. There are still thousands of Palestinians buried under rubble and the architects of their slaughter are planning to build a resort on top of their bodies. "Gaza is truly the graveyard of humanity."

Solidarity with the people of Minnesota, challenging the cold-hearted cruelty of ICE with the fire of mass action. Let this general strike be a turning point in the fight against Trump's impunity and authoritarianism! We’re taking inspiration from your courage.

We will get to this point...only a matter of time...with Congress not working...it's the only leverage States have available.

The Revolution will not be televised.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Now posted at The NDN Silver Blog, it's an old-style masterwork that has turned out to be more apt for this day than I could ever have predicted: wingssilverwork.com/the-medicine....

Marie-Philip Poulin everyone!!...stunning backhand OT winner...unreal!! #PWHL

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

I think people underestimate how big this is. Like a city-wide strike is not something that has happened in the US for nearly 100 years

My office is committed to ensuring that survivors' voices are heard and that any criminal acts uncovered are thoroughly investigated and, when possible, prosecuted. michiganadvance.com/2026/01/16/n...

One of the greatest live performances ever. A black woman with only her guitar and outstanding vocal brings a mostly white rowdy audience to silence...unreal...watching feels historic and it was.

A brilliant speech by Canada's Mark Carney in Davos: "The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy...The powerful have their power. But we have something too — the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home & to act together."

Hey -- @vintagesilvertones.bsky.social -- I've got 3...and 2 amps.

This! "Of course, the liberal rules-based order was pure ideology, designed to lend legitimacy to a global economy based on imperialism. This ideology was already crumbling when Trump came to power, leaving little more than a hollow façade in its place."

Jennings: Let's not get our knickers in a twist here McGowan: Why are you talking like that? It's insane. Your attitude is just horrifying…

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

Seems like the rise of AI is spawning an anti-computerisation movement...not anti-computer but anti-computerisation...for instance look how vinyl records are taking off in an era of streaming...or Art sales are picking up in an era of AI slop...ppl want authenticity.

“I just had a conversation with my dad who has been a citizen here for 30+ years - he doesn’t feel welcome or safe here in 🇺🇸 anymore. He’s going back to Chile.” (H/T @voteinorout.bsky.social )

This amp is Uber-cool!!...perfect for the condo when my partner (night shifts) is sleeping...found a bunch of different sounds -- from heavy distortion to controlled grit...easy to get lost for 30mins just jamming out some grooves...plugging in with both the Dano U2 & Dano 1457 guitars is so sweet!!

Take away the speed cameras without increasing enforcement or installing traffic calming devices and what do you expect is going to happen. Doug Ford is such an idiot!

Picked this little dude up today used...tried it out after work & man is it awesome!!...the 1457 Dano sizzles with it...hooks to your belt buckle!...the Danelectro collection grows!!

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

🚨This needs to be heard. It is beyond chilling. 1/

Stephen Fry: “I’m deeply worried by the darkening shadow that’s going over the world, a shadow that we have to call fascism” Laura Kuenssberg: “You would use that word?” Stephen Fry: “Oh absolutely. It’s a cult of power; and power only speaks to power”

It's time to expand the European Union to include countries that represent the free world. The UK needs to rejoin the EU, & Canada needs to join the EU. Build up the military armed forces, and protect against imperialism by authoritarians! #HandsOffGreenland #StandWithEurope #StandForDemocracy

🔥 @markruffalo.bsky.social : “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered... stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”

Couldn't some country come 'Maduro' trump for us?..

Someone sent me this video of Trump’s goons in action today in the Twin Cities. The audio is disturbing.

#GVerse 👏 Sheriff Rochelle Bilal is very clear when she says #FuckICE WILL be arrested for illegal activity. They are “made up, fake, law enforcement. You will not be able to hide & you don’t want her smoke! #ReneeNicoleGood #DemsUnited This👇💯🇺🇸

The Telegraph: British officials have met with counterparts from countries including Germany and France to begin preparations for a military deployment to protect Greenland. The European Union is also drawing up plans for sanctions on U.S. companies, should the need arise.
