I love Christmas and decorations as much as anyone, but before the 4th of July?!?!

I promise you the joy in your heart of seeing a family getting reconnected is worth it over saving those miles for a rainy day.

From 2003: The whistles go WOOOOOOOOOOOOO youtu.be/fhVWeDwSkzc

In Istanbul and this kitty joined us for breakfast. They grabbed this croissant before I could get my phone out and catch them sniffing the plate.

Oh look, more internet age-gating laws. Tell Congress to oppose the GUARD Act, ok? www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

Is this kid with a backpack of candy scary?

Working with standwithminnesota.com, I’m raising rent funds for a family in urgent need. The parent had to flee for 3 months due to ICE and they still owe rent for Jan, Feb, and March! Can you help? V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please share and help if you can! Thank you! 💛

Minneapolis mood.

tomorrow i would really like to challenge a few folks with larger followings than me to adopt a rent and raise it in one day. my little group chat and my followers have paid like 70 families rents in the past four days. i believe that some of y’all could help us keep one family housed.

If you’re hosting or attending a Super Bowl party on Sunday this prop bet game needs to be a part of it!! @explosiveoutput.bsky.social has been putting this together for 16 years, it will be the center piece of your night! www.etsy.com/listing/4449...

if you feel like passing around a link today and helping fundraise for rent that will actually get paid today (and in the next few days for families who have a grace period) you can send here. we will be going hard all day. i won’t be posting about it because I don’t want to flood your feeds.

here's a video from this afternoon in Eden Prairie MN of ICE agents camping out as a bus stop. Again, this is terrorism.

This is the way. Any 2028 Dem candidates need to start saying that on Day One: (1) all ICE agents fired; (2) pensions/benefits defunded; (3) forced to pay backpay as restitution to victims; and (4) only way to avoid prison is to become a cooperating informant

@mccollum.house.gov How many of your colleagues in the House have you shown the news reports of ICE abducting our children? Which of them are still going to support ICE funding tomorrow? We need you to be highlighting the terror that is going on here in MN.

@klobuchar.senate.gov What action have you taken TODAY to restrict ICE funding and to reign them in? They are abducting our children on the way to school!!!

Sharing this report of ICE depravity from Facebook at the request of community member. This is from a suburb north of ICE-occupied Minneapolis. The text is from her post on Facebook.

@chrishawkey.bsky.social The Excalibur check-in is hopping!

With arms linked and snow falling, Minneapolis ICE protesters dance as ICE agents retreat back. "Nah nah nah, hey hey hey, goodbye!" WATCH ⬇️

Yesterday I did a short video saying going to protests is not scary. Mpls protestors sledding on their signs in Powderhorn Park afterwards perfectly encapsulates what I’m talking about:

The packers should have left Swift score there.

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

One way to tell if you’re “The Baddies” is if you’re the guy in helmet and body armor firing tear gas at high school students AT THEIR OWN SCHOOL. CBP and ICE are a terrible mix of aggro and poorly trained, supercharged by feeling totally unaccountable.

BREAKING: ICE has murdered someone in Minnesota for no reason. Abolish ICE.

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

Who says no? Bengals receive: 5 first round picks, JJ McCarthy and Jordan Addison Vikings receive: Joe Burrow and JaMarr Chase.

A goodest boy not only figures out how to unwrap his own gifts, but then surgically removed the squeeker from inside the toy in record time. He's proud of his work.

Ken Paxton has launched a snitch line to gather reports of supposed violations of Texas' transphobic bathroom policing law. Please do not abuse this snitch line. Please do not fill it with faff and nonsense. Please do not attach huge, unwieldy and irrelevant documentation to any reports.

This is Radley. She asks to "destroy" when she needs to let out extra energy. "She gets plenty of walks and physical activity," her family told us, "but she uses her destroy button when she is craving a little extra chaos." 13/10 (IG: radley_barkley)

I joined @explosiveoutput.bsky.social and Trevor Jones for second straight week on #FFAD Friday to get you ready for your Fantasy Playoff Matchups!

This monster opened one of his gifts early.

Glad for the opportunity to testify at this important shadow hearing.

This is Cody. He's always wanted a dog of his own, and his wish finally came true. Can already tell his new little brother Cooper is going to be his best friend forever. 13/10 for both (TT: codythegoldenboy)

What the Greek Gods concealed from us was that Achilles, himself, was killed by the COVID vaccine. 🙃

Space photographer Andrew James McCarthy @ajamesmccarthy.bsky.social has captured many epic images of celestial bodies, but this may be his greatest: a perfectly timed photo of a skydiving friend with the sun behind him (shot w/ equipment revealing great solar detail). Behold "The Fall of Icarus."
