Bad Bunny: Before I say thanks to God, I'm going to say, ICE out. We're not savages, we're not animals, we're not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.

Scenes of South Mpls Two blocks away, my neighbors are roasting marshmallows over a bonfire in the street where we’ve blocked off traffic Parents wear whistles around their necks and FUCK ICE buttons on their coats as we all check in on each other and add one another to stray signal chats

This is who runs this account…

We have a perfect Rectangular February coming up, first time we’ve had one since 2015 Maybe this is what finally closes the loop and fixes the world

If you know anyone in Texas, please have a conversation urging them to vote for @jamestalarico.bsky.social. He’s running an incredible campaign and I really believe’s the best chance Dems have of flipping the state. Relentlessly positive, values-based, issues-driven. Progressive with a twist.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

I will believe that ICE enforcement has changed on the ground when I stop getting daily notices that armed, masked goons are circling my kids’ schools and trying to sow fear in the parent patrols.

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: Trump takes over the Kennedy Center, illegally slaps his name on it, and uses the venue to premiere a film about his wife—a film, directed by an accused rapist, that is a gift from the founder of Amazon, who wants to avoid regulation and is firing a fuckton of reporters.

Microsodft dropping -10% because they said 45% of their future cloud business will be from OpenAI and the market assumed they’ll never get the money is a watershed moment for the AI bubble.

Exciting news in a world full of very not exciting news: The Vera Project is opening a new all-ages venue in Georgetown in early 2027! @davesegal.bsky.social has the story for @thestranger.com here:

Tell me you haven't watched Andor without telling me you haven't watched Andor

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity. They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability. My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

Look what arrived from @dansinker.com - This patch was a rallying point during my colon cancer in 2023 and now I have a beanie! So many entendres then and MNow.

in the first attempt I get almost nothing keepable! a phrase or two, a thought, just some spare parts. you know what you can do with spare parts? a whole lot! /thread

KEXP, a shining light of music and community esp. in these times is now playing @themountaingoats.bsky.social "This Year" I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

I just saw the strangest thing on the way back from my soccer game. It was a Rivian that *actually had stuff in the truck bed.* I thought I was having a stroke.

Poet Jesus has some timely, inspiring words.

Also can't understand a legacy of care and community investment: part of the reason there are so many legal observers is that thousands volunteered for training *in the Twin Cities* in the aftermath of George Floyd's murder (*also in the Twin Cities*)

No words fit to print

I said this last time but their real position is “if you disagree with us we can kill you.”

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit. It's all white supremacy and greed.

Text of the video posted by Mac Randolph “Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point.”

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

This broke me

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

As @kenwhite.bsky.social has said before: "A government that deliberately abandons the rule of law is not morally entitled to its protections." We have eclipsed that tipping point.

Damn the soulless Nazis of Trumpism straight to Hell.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

I didn't say it. The Germans did.

Nobody will forget nor forgive this.

i designed this sign yesterday and i normally don’t like…claim my work, but i just want to talk about the power of a good podium sign. put your message there! it ends up in every photo! have it mounted on foam so it stays straight for photos!

I love how she’s just emerging from her office or walking down the Capitol steps every day to deliver clear-eyed, focused, and morally-righteous analysis to the American people. She is acting like a Shadow Leader.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

A page for the history books. When we defeat this regime the people of Minneapolis will be remembered and honored for their heroism in the face of this occupation.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Hey Nancy? How about you talk to your boy you personally pushed to get elected in Texas who just decided to fund terrorists and child kidnappers. Why don’t you get on that first before you go after the people upholding the rule of law, you withered heap of insider trading.

When this basic moral principle—and indeed constitutional right—is permitted to be ignored, the inevitable consequences are disastrous. This is a basic way in which all of the fights to protect liberty are related. And none of us can or will be safe until people realize this and fight for it.

We deal with this a lot in our civil rights work against the vast system of pretrial detention. Decades of mass incarceration has left our culture desensitized. We have stopped realizing a core pillar of a reasonable society: the state must have very good reasons for putting a human in a cage.

Something lost on JD Vance—and much of the news media—is that no legal or other reason existed to arrest the 5-year-old child’s father either. Not even the administration has articulated any reason to cage people while their asylum or other cases are proceeding.

Tomorrow’s front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 23, 2026

If we can defund the dept of education and cancer research and dept of ‘get rid of fucking carp from Great Lakes,’ we can defund ICE and the DHS.

Pastors working for ICE Sex workers running mutual aid for immigrants Which one looks more like Jesus???

I've been on message for a long time. (2016 performance of a talk I wrote in ~2014)
