Letter #1 from Keonne Rodriguez, an open-source developer who is in prison for making a Bitcoin wallet www.therage.co/letter-1-keo...

Saw a Waymo roll past yesterday on 26th St while I was snowblowing. I gave it a Bronx cheer just like I do with Cybertrux

I wish people would stop making up random numbers of months that “nobody bikes.” If you don’t personally bike unless weather is perfect, say that. If you don’t see the value of investing in bike infra, say that.

Man Who Bumped Tesla While Parallel Parking Sentenced To Death http://theonion.com/man-who-bumped-tesla-while-parallel-parking-sentenced-to-death/

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

We watched Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1996 Christmas Eve Day documentary 'Jingle All The Way' and have determined that 'to jingle all the way' means driving over 100 miles and 3+ hours looking for a very specific gift. This only accounts for driving, not shopping or other antics.

In the last 31 days, since November 22, 2025, 15 ICE deportation flights have loaded at MSP. Based on the number of DHS/ICE vehicles that have served each flight, and several direct passenger counts, I estimate that a total of 500 or so of our neighbors have been deported in this time frame.

Mayor Carter: "I recognize that. I recognize Jim Crow. I recognize apartheid. You show me an era where people had to carry papers to keep from getting harassed and arrested by government agents, and I'll show you an era of profound human rights abuses." www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD4o...

We have spent decades building robust infrastructure for sharing files that moneyed interests do not want us to share. 🏴‍☠️

"ICE's own records say that only 3 percent [of people imprisoned in CECOT] had been sentenced for a violent or potentially violent crime" ... in case CECOT conditions violating international human rights law isn't enough for you ...

"Inside CECOT" 60 Minutes - if you're familiar with BitTorrent, use the "torrent" link here and leave it open. Lots of people are trying to fetch this video file, and leaving it open "seeds" the torrent to everyone else trying to download it. BitTorrent is *made for this*

D'oh! I'm 20 minutes late to wish you a happy solstice! At 10:03 Eastern US time the Sun reached its most southern point on the sky, and will slowly begin to crawl farther north every day. This means today has the least amount of daytime of the year, and nights get shorter from here on out!

The windchill is brutal. Wind gusts strong enough to push me around. Still, thousands are here marching in the cold in support of our neighbors in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Developer of Samourai Wallet (Bitcoin-anonymizing wallet software) went to prison yesterday for crimes they did not commit www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fshs...

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

Border patrol is forcing rideshare drivers at the O’Hare lot to show proof of citizenship before they can exit the lot and pick up rides at the airport

the current admin’s EO’s are temporary; the ethics & laws we have adhered to (which are still there!) are not when you’re damned if you do or don’t then you just do the right fucking thing

New data on regional traffic fatalities in the Twin Cities. Tl;DR, we are not making progress over the last few years.

he also kind of gets everyone's asses again in this follow up with the washington post

These people are nuts. NCAR developed the GPS dropsonde, which revolutionized the understanding of TC structure, improved forecasts, and validated remote sensing platforms, as documented in over 400 peer-reviewed publications in the last 25 years. And that’s just one of NCAR’s countless advances.

To put my rage another way: if an adversary wanted to destroy America, they would do exactly what Vought is doing here.

Minneapolis Police Department "Community Service Officers" (grey shirts, basically cop interns) will be helping deliver food to people who can't risk going out and being caught up in ICE's indiscriminate tactics www.youtube.com/watch?v=siRt...

Let’s not forget Brian O’Hara’s Very Serious Boy pressers where he told us all to call MPD when ICE comes. Now none of us who have been here have done that because it’s insane, but if you thought it was a good idea, do you see now why it is not??

Someone please get Mike Lindell a gosh darned glass of water

Important public testimony at Metropolitan Airports Commission about the need for improved safety against ICE harassment and intimidation of workers (esp. rideshare drivers) at MSP airport. Also some advocacy for transparency around ICE deportation flights up front. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Gwo...

Living in Phillips (2 blocks from the lead photo site), I am always struck by the difference between city- and county-owned properties where encampments pop up. The difference is, Hennepin County actually tries. Frey administration does not, until something catastrophic happens.

Deadlines are called deadlines because they kill human beings

All of this to say: the humane encampment response ordinance is a needed tiny step towards improving how the City of Minneapolis responds to unsheltered homelessness. We need leaders with the political courage our neighbors have to truly meet the moment. It passed 8-5 today.

everything about this image is a marvel.

“Why are you taking measures to regain your privacy? Are you planning to do some crimes?” I believe this mentality is known as “Stockholm Syndrome”

Minneapolis Mayor Frey to ICE: "Get out" www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQHA...

Hey @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social the easiest opportunity you will ever have to boost MPD recruitment and build trust is right on your doorstep. Create an ICE beat. Audit federal actions using officers with *no* weapons/less-than-lethal (just like volunteers!). Document constitutional violations.

The first paragraph of Judge Breyer‘s opinion granting an injunction in the California National Guard case is a banger.

Pick up that can or you're gonna get the OC

Brett Kavanaugh's "minor inconvience" now includes beating people up and cutting off their wedding rings for [checks notes] "observing ICE from a distance."

On security: It is not necessary to steal someone's phone to get access to a 700+ person chat that was "invite only". It's 700 people. Do you really trust that ALL of them can spot a fed? Sending messages to "group you don't know personally" = posting PUBLICLY

If you’re wondering if you should shovel before bed or wait til morning, it’s perfectly still and 28 degrees in the Twin Cities right now, and tomorrow there will be 40 mph winds (do it now) #mnwx

Merry Bikemas! furthermore, ICE must be destroyed

ICE was in Cedar Riverside today. Amazing community turnout, be mindful of the layer of pepper spray in the snow all over the neighborhood

We are hearing powerful testimony at City Hall on the strengthened separation ordinance. It’s clear our community wants to ensure to its full strength that the City of Minneapolis does not enforce federal immigration laws nor assist ICE in any shape or form. We support our immigrant neighbors.

As a computer nerd, I apologize on behalf of all computer professionals: sorry, we made computers too complicated. We will now be fixing this, through a long, painful period of automated human rights violation, leading to a deglobalized economy that can't even feed everyone, much less make a chip.
