It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔

The drone on a luge run is awesome

Still only one football has been spiked tonight so far

I'm old enough to remember when movie stars went to Japan to make commercials

Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities: Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

Someone on TV vaguely says "Obviously there's a disgusting rotten stench in our country right now. Just an indescribable filth" and our big beautiful president immediately logs on to go "NO IM NOT"

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

It says Seattle on my coffee mug so I guess I'm a Seahawks fan today

Very well delivered

I'm told they covered Nova Mob youtu.be/3BgUTRwS3i8?...

MAGA: “I ain’t watching the halftime show!!!! I’m watching the pro-family TPUSA one headlined by KID ROCK MAGAAA!!!!” Kid Rock song: “ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage, see. Some say that's statutory (but I say that's mandatory)”

What loons teach us.

Just honked my horn at an ICE agent next to me at a light after he threw his Hardee’s bag out the driver’s window. Better believe he motioned to the holster on his belt, he was so offended.

Reached my limit with big out-of-state accounts sharing disinfo, even when it's relatively harmless. If you can't bother to confirm, I'm not convinced you genuinely care what's happening here.

"No matter what happens, we'll be here" is yet another line that should go on the Minnesota wall of quotes about *all this*

I can’t really tell a valid reason why HCSO and State Patrol declared unlawful assembly and is now declaring everyone under arrest at Whipple. They just tackled a woman to the ground.

At Whipple where expired dicks are being thrown at ICE vehicles and those believed to be agitators. The area has been a place of protest since thousands of federal agents arrived in the city. Near Minneapolis February 7, 2026

For much of our mainstream media, "Even a Republican said it was racist" is the only legitimate proof that something or someone is racist.

Is baseball here yet?

Grumpys is my favorite HH

JD Vance loudly booed at the Winter Olympics today.

Trump Defends Racist Video As Racist

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...

Today they threatened to arrest all of the neighbors who came out and watched 20 agents struggle to change a flat tire for “impeding a federal investigation.” These are just clowns and they absolutely know it.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

A bizarre number of people have stepped up to defend Julie Le. What you see in that transcript is an attorney who chose to do evil work—deporting people for ICE then moving over to DOJ in early Jan. specifically to fight these habeas petitions—being called to the carpet. She's desperate, not heroic.

So there was just a very loud and sustained "Fuck ICE" chant during a pro wrestling show on live primetime television, if you wanna get a sense of the vibe shift. (One of the wrestlers, Brody King, is an outspoken prigressive and wore an "Abolish ICE" shirt at a Mexico show in June.)

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

ICE investigators were supposed to investigate the killing of Alex Pretti. Instead, they investigated Alex. Not his killers. With FBI now leading this probe, I’m calling on Kristi Noem and Kash Patel: Remove all ICE agents from this investigation completely.

The Twins announced the 2026 pricing for TwinsPass, which grants SRO entry to every home game. Cost is down almost 30% from last year ($4/game to $2.86/game). Clearly they recognize the challenge in front of them for drawing fans to Target Field this summer.

This Homan presser is completely incoherent. He started by announcing a drawdown of 700 agents (good!) but then pivoted to whining about "rhetoric" (bad) and suggested there will be more bloodshed if it doesn't stop (grim). Not clear to me that anything is actually changing on the ground here in MN.

There was an abduction in front of my apartment this morning. Afterwards, a Hennepin County Sheriff car drove by. Around 10-15 of us screamed at them for help, seeking assistance with the abandoned, window-smashed car. Some ran after them. They continued driving. 😑

Don’t know how many more examples it’s going to take for people to realize that billionaires are an existential threat to democracy and its institutions.

My favorite genre of Epstein emails are powerful people emailing WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN about how MeToo has gone too far and the woke mob must be stopped.

They just blindly shot through the fucking door. "Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."

Here's the full post in the Star Tribune liveblog for posterity since it doesn't have a stable URL to link to:

Whoever figures out how to sterilize milk will be so famous they’ll probably name the process after them.

They told us there was no money for healthcare. No money for kids. No money for families drowning in medical bills. But there’s always money for ICE. More cages. More raids. More cruelty. That’s not a budget problem. That’s a values problem. Fund care, not punishment. #FundHealthcareOverICE

Oh Look who's trying to come back here. FUCK OUT OF MY STATE

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

I talked with parents, teachers and kids about ICE's ongoing operation and how it has upended their day-to-day lives. One of the harder stories I've reported. For @rewirenewsgroup.com rewirenewsgroup.com/2026/02/03/i...

The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.
