that time of the year again😌🍿

can I make a suggestion

“Like the agent who slipped on ice, they have misjudged the ground beneath their feet: a state full of ordinary people — real estate agents, high school students, solar energy consultants — who’ve decided that watching their neighbors being dragged away is an intolerable sin.”

Preach scooter, preach

Not for the first time, it looks like Channel 4 just handed the keys to their socials to an evil genius:

After the generous GFM donations & the author who sponsored $1,000 in shipping over the weekend, @lefttheprairie.bsky.social was able to run around the twin cities dropping money like a fairy godmother. Thanks to you we gave away (last count) $6,000 to local mutual aid funds & orgs!

Good morning from the whistle witch! We have now shipped out 65,000 whistles to (last count) 23 states so far in January. We have updated the linktree with a few new wishlists from newer printers, and also our GFM & other resource links! linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Plan ahead, folks!

Here's staff on an ICE deportation flight giving us the finger on Nov 16, 2025, at Minneapolis - St. Paul International Airport. Berk Benson photo.

Do yourself a favour and watch Valentino: The Last Emperor. It’s somehow compulsive viewing and a triumph of camp!

It is so funny that the Save Our Street people in Saint Paul are having all of their meetings at the church led by a pastor whose day job is running the local ICE field office.

Highly recommended if you want discussion about why the adaptation of Heated Rivalry works so well from people who know the genre intimately.

you should read this. open.substack.com/pub/querent/...

I feel like this pretty much sums up the rot at the core of American civic life as a whole. “Hold the fuck up, cowboy. I signed up for the great power, not the great responsibility when I signed up for the church/media/government/think tank complex/etc.”

The Powderhorn Park neighborhood has been the biggest target of immigration enforcement in Minnesota. It’s home to a large immigrant community who is now struggling to pay rent. Kidnappings are on the rise because people cannot stay home. Please help us out. gofund.me/350c67697

Here's how my sister is advertising my niece's Girl Scout cookie sales on Instagram (yes, she's proud of herself)

Because these international grocers need your support now more than ever, especially during these times, here’s a guide to the international grocers of the Twin Cities that I wrote for @racketmn.com: racketmn.com/guide-intern...

This poll is basically “Should we be the villains of World War 3?” and it’s good to know 30% of Republicans are like “why not?”

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week. ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

Minnesota hotels are closing because of safety concerns and workers at other hotels are scared to go to work. Here's a union fund for affected members.

The mayor in question, by the way, is the former head of the Republican Party in Minnesota, who resigned in 2021 when one of the top donors to the party (and a close associate of hers) was arrested for child sex trafficking: www.mprnews.org/story/2021/0...

The incredible thing about this is that there IS a big story in Nisswa - the Republican mayor has vote of no confidence against her on Tuesday: lptv.org/nisswa-city-... But I guess it's more important to hear what some drunks in a bar at TEN IN THE MORNING think about a murder 150 miles away?

hey @dfl.org, where are the Spanish, Somali & Hmong non-attendee forms?? i cannot find them on ur website.

Very much a choice here to not go with “Pardoned J6 rioter chased…”

Anyway, it's 2 degrees out, with a windchill putting it at -15. I didn't wear my gloves from the car to my door - a single city block - and my hands were already turning red. Our unhoused neighbors will die out there tonight. The MN Indian Women's Resource Center needs funds to keep the heat on.

The Dutch equivalent of "hip hip hooray" is "hieperdepiep* hoera" *pronounced "heeper de peep" As ever, do with this information what you will

Man, first you have a chicken leg for a head and then you have to carry around a turtle. Tough row to hoe.

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

That negative 21 gone show you something

"Check me out!"

I put myself through the entire interview. Trust me when I tell you that Gavin "dank memes" Newsom agrees with him on EVERYTHING. I literally says "I agree with you" on EVERYTHING. Ben "extremely unpopular even with MAGA" Shapiro gets very combative with him and Gavin capitulates EVERY time.

It's been a long 3 years this week in Minneapolis.

peets. 😁

Sharing again for the midday crowd Please help Natives in Minneapolis

Everyone post your favorite Minneapolis and Saint Paul photos in normal times (and we will have again) Behind the falls.

This is even more ghoulish when you know that in the past two weeks, half of the shootings in the city of Minneapolis were done by ICE. I guess the MNGOP hypeman feels safest when Minneapolis residents are being shot.

Bad Bunny Super Bowl promo is beautiful. Hate is so embarrassing. Imaging being against everyone together dancing to good music 🥹🥹🥹

LRS: Wes owns the queer soccer bar in question, so this is a primary source.

More people watching soccer at the queer soccer bar this morning than these losers

Thousands of people coming out to see a pencil get sharpened. Joy, silliness, and an event to honor literacy and writing.

Hey national journalists who are following Jake around: get more interesting news than "what one Nazi thinks," come to the Art Sled rally!

The Powderhorn Park Art Sled Rally is this Saturday, January 17th, 2 p.m. This is just one example of the Minneapolis we are fighting for. I kind of hope a few of the national journalists show up. artsledrally.com
