I feel called out! Maybe I really do need to subscribe to @startribune.com

Me, as soon as my kids are asleep:

Maybe Denmark could send a hospital ship to the U.S.? apple.news/Ak-vIUHZ8R96...

I love New Jersey.

How murder rates have changed in the 25 cities (min 250k pop) that had the highest murder rates in 2022 and have complete data reported for 2025 in the Real-Time Crime Index:

I didn’t make it to Ash Wednesday mass today, but I still checked to make sure that the cam girl from the Onion headline went.

I’m just waiting for the first hand-wringing piece about how Generation Z is killing the avocado toast industry.

It’s nice that Lent and Ramadan are starting on the same day; that way, most of the world can be miserable at the same time.

A valentine for you folks.

We continue to see no drawdown today with ICE activity in the Phillips neighborhood, Columbia Heights, and Shakopee. Our pressure is working as the Senate bill to fund DHS did not pass last night. Keep up the pressure by reaching out to your federal representatives.

The oldest sewn clothing found so far!

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

I’m relieved that this violent paramilitary force will be removed from our streets, but I won’t believe it until they're actually gone. Minnesotans deserve justice and accountability, and I won’t stop until we get it.

Verily, I have died. #MarkLandry #SayestThouAnything #MedievalArt

The angel on my shoulder is telling me not to talk about Bondi’s dye job, but the petty-ass devil on my other shoulder is winning.

#PamBondi is apparently making a total ass of herself today, but that’s not surprising, since we already knew she was a total ass.

Love this. Father Dale Korogi baptized my children, and I have a family member at Ascension who’s helping to keep people fed during the crisis. #MinnesotaStrong

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Don’t mind me; just standing in the kitchen making collard greens while worrying about whether or not 🧊 took anyone from my son’s school this afternoon.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families. Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota. The cruelty is endless.

Senate: Badges and no masks for ICE? Everyone: 😡😡😡 Senate: Okay but what if we also give MN residents total immunity? Everyone: 🤔😡🤔😡🤔😡🤔

“The state-backed messaging that Good was the wrong *kind* of white woman, therefore, was a foregone conclusion”

A true anthem for my city.

Well, I guess we know who’s winning all of the Razzie awards for 2026…

Had to immediately watch this scene: youtu.be/k09a7rYjKeU?...

If he dies, will Vance become president and install Miller as his VP?

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

The Hortmans were assassinated seven months ago. The Annunciation Church school shooting was five months ago. Renee Good was murdered three weeks ago to the day. It has been eight days since they took 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father. It has been four days since Alex Pretti was murdered.

Just learned that 🧊 tried to raid the Ecuadorian Consulate in NE Minneapolis today.

“The green dyed smoke suggests high toxicity to protesters, but the effect is more psychological.”

It’s just like reporting climate change: On one side is evidence; on the other side are liars.

A model of what a man should be. And they killed him for it.

Ok, so #AlexPretti had a permit to carry a gun. So whether he had one on him at the time of his execution is even more irrelevant.

These monsters are sick.

Canada here 🇨🇦 we saw the video. It was murder, again. #Minneapolis #ICEout

I wrote something for Politico about the real issue with Greg Bovino's overcoat. IMO, it isn't about whether the overcoat is tied to any particular regime, but about how immigration enforcement has become increasingly warlike in terms of strategy, discourse, and dress. 🧵

@mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social , you have to know that he’s not capable of acting like a leader and putting the people first.

The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."

Looks like they shot someone who was already on the ground this time. www.reddit.com/r/Minneapoli...

So sick of this. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

See, mainstream media, you don’t have to “both sides” everything.

“Bovino’s outfits complete the Nazi look: a closely cropped haircut, as if he had taken a photo of [assassinated SA leader] Ernst Röhm to the barber.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

…And, now they’re comparing human beings to seafood. apple.news/AVApaoWipSPK...

The absurdity of being in my therapist’s office and realizing that, under normal circumstances, a client living in fear of government agents would be considered paranoid.

So, it looks like ICE dragged a U.S. citizen out of his home in his shorts because they were looking for a dangerous criminal who was already in prison.

Oh, fucking a… apple.news/AOGBZZluRSAy...
