There’s some huge power outage situation going on in parts of Illinois including where I live. It’s literally just lightly raining today. Trying to get shit together with all 7 of the classes I teach and this is NOT HELPING

Hey folks, just saw a thread of people getting rage baited by some 10 follower Twitter tourist. They're here to piss in the pool, because their pool is nothing but piss. If you want to screenshot names for blocking, aces, but I strongly suggest just block. Deny them the dopamine hit of cruelty.

The ICE agent who killed Renee Good has been identified www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

Update on #SqueakyCat - she’s officially negative for all diseases! Unfortunately now she’s got a UTI which is being treated, and she’s back in quarantine because she was trying to pee everywhere. Poor girl. Seems on the mend today though

This happened after the murder

Everyone having to explain to their kids that they had to close schools because the federal government murdered someone is a wild place to be, America.

This shit happening after this morning is beyond insane

No school in Minneapolis tomorrow and Friday. Just got this email.

I said this exact thing earlier and I wasn’t there. Of course this is what happened

CNN graphics put the asterisk in the wrong place, it appears…

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training. This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One. I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

Illinois steps up

Minnesota Public Radio says today marks the first and only shooting and homicide in Minneapolis in the year 2026

And it took a matter of days to happen

One fucking week into this year

Live updates: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz extended condolences to the family of the woman killed by ICE. He added that he has issued a warning order to the Minnesota National Guard to prepare for a possible deployment.

My mom who is 83 has cable news on all the time. I just helped her join BlueSky today. People know

“ICE get the fuck out of Minneapolis” -Mayor Frey

"You gonna murder someone else? You can't kill us all, Nazis."

They pushed anti-diversity and purged teams of qualified black and brown people at CBS News, and all for this.

forget tinkerbell jesus, remember when they crucified the fifth doctor?

This

All for nothing. So Trump could play mobster. Incredible.

Thinking again today of the several middle aged Trump voting women I met during the election last year who told me they were voting for Trump so their sons wouldn’t have to go to war…

Imagine being the person brave enough to leak this in the hopes that media attention could stop it and then the media just……buries it.

Always and forever #Hannibal

Trump has made the Kennedy Center into the moral equivalent of playing Sun City during apartheid.

Once again we got lucky in NW IL. Many people trying to get home the Sunday after Xmas. We too were traveling but were to the east of the blizzard and to the west of the tornadoes. Only had fog and rain. Just crazy weather these days. At least the pressure went up again so my arthritis is better

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Fortunately this is about 3 hours East/Southeast of me but tornadoes on December 28 in northern Illinois is BONKERS

I was starting to feel particularly achy and sure enough…the barometric pressure is going down hard and fast. I may not be able to walk if this continues. It’s bad this time, a huge drop in a short period. If it’s gradual, I can usually tolerate it. Not this time

NW Illinois isn’t supposed to be close to 50 and foggy on Christmas. It’s been very weird

Warmest Christmas Day on record for the lower-48. Wisconsin‘s temperature ranged from 7.5° - 17.5°F above normal.

a lot of people don't realize that Christmas carols and traditions are actually folk memories of suppressed pre-Christian events, namely the end of the Third Age and the Fall of Sauron.

Arfie loves Xmas, sleeping on a gift bag and some tissue paper 🐈‍⬛❤️🎄#ArthurDentCat

Air pressure is going up because the weather is really weird for this time of year (warm and rainy). It’s great for my joint pain but my ears are popping like mad!

This is crazy! But the dog was a rescue from the south and likely had rabies before it was vaccinated. Morons spreading misinformation on Facebook about this now
