Rude.

Today in the resistance. Portland.

An excerpt from Sophie Gilbert’s review of the new Melania movie: "Melania shows off her custom-made inauguration gown, stark white with black ribbons overlaying it, a dress that now looks unavoidably like the redacted Epstein files."

Echoing the cowardly white moderates who inspired MLK to write Letter from Birmingham Jail, 60 Minnesota CEOs made no mention of ICE, Alex Pretti or Renee Good in a bloodless plea for MN's problems to disappear Craven corporations will pay a price My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Today in the Resistance: Spare a few minutes today to listen to the incomparable Philip Glass. Celebrating his 89th birthday this week and protesting Trump's corruption of the Kennedy Center. apnews.com/article/phil...

Finished up school patrol this morning and a Somali mother got out of her car to give us the biggest, longest hugs. She said she doesn't know Somalia, her kids don't speak Somali and showed us that she's carrying her passport with her everywhere. I lost count the number of times she thanked us. 🥹

If this doesn’t tug at your heart, make you well up with sadness, you are not human.

Today in the resistance: A valuable convert. Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor amid ICE crackdown share.google/O8Q9TWOm2GGX...

This morning Deputy AG Todd Blanche said the DOJ 'always investigates' shootings and would be investigating the Border Patrol killing of Alex Pretti. Last week Blanche said the DOJ would NEVER investigate the ICE fatal shooting of Renee Good.

Today in the resistance: The woman in the pink coat. She filmed the murder of Alex Pretti. Although afraid to be in her own home, she is sharing her testimony in an ACLU lawsuit. share.google/nqfWVuXjaNNj...

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

God bless this police chief for standing up for his community and for justice.

Today in the resistance: Tens of thousands protest in sub zero temps in Minneapolis. The people of America will not succumb quietly. I thought you might want to see this story from NPR . Minnesota protests Trump administration's immigration crackdown www.npr.org/2026/01/23/n...

Today in the resistance: School superintendent relates the impact of ICE raids on her students and families. Way to stand up for your kids, Zena Stenik. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

OMG

Today in the resistance: Thank you, Sen. Murphy, for making this investigation part of your job. Don't back off!

Today in the resistance. Stand with Denmark. Stand with Greenland.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

State investigators have been on the scene in North Minneapolis. I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets. But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace. Don’t give him what he wants.

I think it's inevitable that Trump will do this. He wants to and there is no one in his administration to stop him. But the resistance will go on. apnews.com/live/donald-...

Show us those medical records!

This is horrifying.

Of course Josh Hawley flipped his vote. That's what he does. missouriindependent.com/2026/01/14/r...

As someone who has worked as a volunteer to welcome refugees, this terrifies me. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

This Can Not Stand. Defund ICE.

All eyes on Jeff Bezos. Will you stand with your reporters and their sources or will you weasel up to Donald Trump? Again? apnews.com/article/fbi-...

Much appreciation to these Justice Department officials for their principled stand. I look forward to seeing them reinstated in a new administration. www.ms.now/news/doj-civ...

I feel like we have our line in the sand. Either you condemn ICE and honor the life of Renee Nicole Good or you are lost to the hate-fueled lies of MAGA. We cannot find common ground here.

This debacle of a Chiefs game, and season, is not on Patrick Mahommes. He's playing his heart out with a bum knee and not one of his receivers can come through for him.

This Chiefs game is awful! No one can catch the damn ball.

This guy.

A little dose of happiness. Mazel Tov.

I have a lot of thoughts about this, starting with the observation that Hegseth's attempt to corral the media and minimize leaks appears to be failing miserably. www.npr.org/2025/11/25/n...

This is quite the speech Mamdani is giving.

Why does the NYTimes give this guy space for his deceits? He voted for Medicaid cuts after saying he wouldn't. He'll vote against the working poor every single time. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/o...

If you're in Kansas City next Thursday night and you're interested in #redistricting, you should join us: www.kcur.org/redistrictin...

Go see a play. It at least read this excellent column.

Just another week in the Trump 2 presidency.

Yes. And that can't happen soon enough.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

'Peaceful with no arrests.' Cheers to Chicago.

So using racial slurs, calling rape "epic'" and threatening violence is just kids being kids, but criticism of Charlie Kirk should be reported to employers to get people fired. Got it.

Defending one's voters rights in Missouri has become an endless slog, as Bridgett Dunlap relates here in the Missouri Independent. Gotta do it, though. missouriindependent.com/2025/10/13/g...

The KC Star interviewed residents of deep red Abilene, Kansas, about the ouster of the Eisenhower Museum director. They are pissed. A small break in the wall. www.kansascity.com/news/politic...

Ouch. This is a mistake. I can almost guarantee it.
