Just got notified that Amazon will be bricking my precious kindle (with buttons!!!) in May. It’s not my fault their new models are trash. What’s a reader to do? #unnecessaryobsolescence #eviloverlords

"The enemy is anybody who's going to get you killed, no matter which side he's on." - Capt. John Yossarian in Joseph Heller's satirical novel Catch-22 (1961) #Booksky #literature #quotes 🖋️📚

Thinking about that South Korean politician that scaled a wall during a military blockade just to vote against martial law while our Congress tweets about how much they disagree with bombs from Barbados

Someone sent me this.

The old [racist] seal at the airport. Whatcha gonna do @governorwalz.mn.gov???

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

Good to know these organizations have the capacity to come together as one voice on behalf of the Mayor, considering I’ve never seen them come together at City Hall on behalf of our unsheltered residents as we’ve been fighting for them the past 4 years.

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

hello minnesota and beyond! thank you for your kind messages. it is very weird to be the news when you cover the news. i love this beautiful state and journalism, and i am hopeful for better days. but we will be forever changed bc of the last two months.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

ICE out of Minnesota and fully abolished. Nothing less, thanks.

In between all the fascism, it's also a MASSIVE crime wave.

This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/

If they don’t pay attention to the 4th (and 10th) amendment, I don’t have to pay attention to the 16th, right? #nofedtaxesformn

Democrats Sick Of Being Blamed For Cowardice On Issues They Actually Just Don’t Care About https://theonion.com/democrats-sick-of-being-blamed-for-cowardice-on-issues-1847675639/

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

WHERE ARE THE FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS?! This is Swiss cheese of a story and nobody’s willing to point out the hole!

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

Note how there's no violence or chaos when the cops aren't rioting.

Prince, in 2007, before the greatest half time show in Super Bowl history, when told there was rain in the forecast: "Can you make it rain harder?" Minnesotans, today, preparing to march to protect our neighbors when told it's -21 degrees. "Can you make it colder?"

It appears that the White House edited this image using AI

We are just never going to question his health? And demand answers?

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

Please help us bring Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos (he’s only 5 years of age and is currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were kidnapped by ICE. This will help the family with legal services to help reunite Liam and his dad with their family. gofund.me/be8a1b2ab

Even as ICE receives $170B in new funding, it has stopped paying for medical care for detainees — including life-saving medications, dialysis, and chemotherapy treatments. Remember: Over 70% of detainees have no criminal convictions. Cruelty on steroids.

🚨 NBA Minnesota Timberwolves and WNBA Minnesota Lynx owners Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod) should speak up. Silence is inexcusable. National Basketball Association (NBA) commissioner Adam Silver must speak up. Minneapolis is one of 30 NBA cities in the U.S. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

relevant to the debate over whether we should keep funding DHS without reforms and accountability for how out of control their spending is

Abolish Ice should be a centrist position

Remember- your actions can make you a bad person. Your words can make you a bad person. Your behavior and treatment of others can make you a bad person. Your appearance has nothing to do with who you are. I am so sick of people calling ICE “fat”, as though that is what makes them evil…

Zac Kinney shared this photo from the second of two ICE deportation flights at MSP today - one of the 47 deportees was still in their Amazon uniform. (I counted 127 deportees on the first flight)

This is an "administrative warrant". It's not signed by a judge and is therefore unlawful. ICE agents carry stacks of these around in their cars and just fill them out on the fly. Make sure everyone knows what this looks like, as they have already started going door-to-door in some neighborhoods.

HIGH ALERT! We need people patrolling the streets now. Lake Street, Powderhorn, Central, and South Minneapolis have a ton of immigration enforcement. On bus stops to people being pulled from their cars. 1/

Jack Ryan breaks it down.

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

The combination of incompetence, lack of planning, and cruelty is staggering.... What would YOU do if a loved one was detained? #DefundICE #Gestapo

ICE continues to terrorize our cities and there will be a deportation flight at ~2:40pm today. As usual, it'll land at Signature Aviation's private terminal at MSP. Detainees will be shackled in the cold, then flown off to Louisiana and who knows where.

"If we're called upon, I think generally, the calls would be forwarded to 311," Chief O'Hara said. "So it would be a very low-priority call, unless there's, you know, other things about the call…” www.fox9.com/news/ice-act...

The Environmental Protection Agency under Donald Trump is giving the green light to a new pesticide built on PFAS — a so-called “forever chemical” linked to cancer, birth defects, and long‑term environmental damage. 🌱🔥 Critics warn this move could poison water, soil, and food for generations.

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

How pathetic a life it must be to allow others to define your whole identity? An identity of hate and conflict. "How can a man be satisfied to entertain an opinion merely, and enjoy it? Is there any enjoyment in it, if his opinion is that he is aggrieved?" -Henry David Thoreau- (Civil Disobedience)

Public safety.

Mike Johnson doesn't know sh*t

Making Argentina Great Again

To recap: •$100M on golf •$172M for jets for ICE Barbie •$230M in DOJ payments to Trump •$250M for a vanity ballroom •$40B to Argentina while our farmers suffer •$117B in annual tax cuts to the super wealthy 1% •$170B ICE budget to round up Americans like Gestapo Meanwhile—no money for food stamps

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot of thoughts about the Domus Aurea and the Flavian dynasty.
