Having trouble getting anything done today for some reason

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

every so often I run this search and one of these days I'm gonna get lucky

All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans. For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...

I know it’s competing with an illegal war and 10,000 other major scandals but I feel like people should be making a bigger deal out of the DefSec systematically trying to resegregate the military

Just fuck this

The New York Times rolling up its sleeves to do the hard work of normalizing the idea that women should not have the right to vote.

yes

Damn it, who put away their snow shovel?

absolutely beautiful

I cried when I saw them, it was truly perfect.

I don’t think everyone understands that it felt like being occupied by an outside army. Because it was like that.

The other thing about a crowd this big: it completely overwhelms the whole transportation network, it was a royal pain in the ass to get there, AND PEOPLE CAME ANYWAY

I love that there is a real person responding in person as a human at the Star Tribune. It’s good to remember that there are people doing these things everyone.

Uh, "a crowd of thousands," NY Times? Really?? The estimate I saw in the Strib (not a famously lefty newspaper) was 200k.

No Kings #TwinCities

Looking up and seeing the eagles (there were two for a while around 1pm I think) was so amazing

What up cloudflare?

In a new court filing as part of an ongoing lawsuit against ICE actions in Minnesota, DHS says nearly 500 officers remain in the Twin Cities metro.

Anyone else get ET vibes from this photo?

These survey results feel really validating to me - for a while, the ICE presence seemed so pervasive:

Ants in the kitchen, it's spring regardless of the weather now.

Minneapolis, if you manage volunteers, remind them to practice device security if they are traveling by air for spring break!

Someone in Howe made a bracket to name an albino squirrel and this delights me very much

Robt. E Lee is a pretty good analogue for the current administration’s military thought. Sure a good tactician, but there was no overriding winnable strategy and they were overwhelmed by an opponent who knew the key was nerds with clipboards moving supplies, not dashing gentlemen on horseback.

We are falling very short of the need for rent support for our school‘s families. I know many people have been giving month after month and are getting pretty tapped out, but even a little bit would help: www.gofundme.com/f/support-mi...

Great thread about organizing information and why you doing the work yourself primes your thoughts to see new connections

New goal: let's all just agree to let bygones be bygones, ok guys?

For people who are concerned about having their devices seized at US airports starting Monday when ICE "assists" the TSA, EFF has this guide: www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Dems have to find away to be against corruption

Reminder for the first annual #LoonDay

And as I continue reading, *of course* there is much Jacob Frey love. Sigh.

Don Samuels is an interesting choice for a feature in this piece: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/15/o...

Peak Minneapolis dadding: Snowblowed a couple blocks and asked anyone that said hi to donate at standwithminnesota.com, got a few commits. You can do it too.

I have to admit, I was expecting more snow than this.

Just watched someone drive very slowly the wrong way down the one-way street by our house. They then gently drove head-on into a traffic light pole. Calmly backed up and drove the other way down the street. I don’t understand what the snow even had to do with that.

I really appreciate these tips on managing the timing of shoveling (not least because it gives me permission to have cinnamon buns and coffee in a leisurely way).

Seriously though I am delighted to hunker down with my cats and some homework and the promise of cinnamon rolls in the morning.

It's been snowing for like 3 hours, am disappointed not to see 5 feet of snow on the ground already. I was promised a record breaking snowstorm, what is this light coating nonsense???

Ground starting to get white here in S Minneapolis

I feel like we are focusing so much on the upcoming snowstorm that we are ignoring the upcoming subzero temps. So lots of snow and then below zero! This is more real winter than I can take after multiple false springs.

Minnesota Frost fan on the zamboni has a sign reading No ICE, no war, no kings, which was immediately taken off the big screen once it was shown on camera. Fans continue to let out cheers, but just began booing as a team official removed it on the ice.

One thing that worries me is there was already quality and replicability issues with scholarship prior to AI and we're going to see a lot of GIGO issues compounded by over reliance by people with QUITE a lot of incentive to like the thing that saves tons of effort.

Ms Rachel has shifted from advocating for children killed by bombs that our taxes pay for, to advocating for children that our government is imprisoning without cause, which our taxes also pay for. This isn’t what a kid’s entertainer should feel the need to do, but since we’re here, more ppl should.
