A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

MN Nice means Fuck You ICE

Eyewitness says she has not even been contacted by federal investigators

In case you're still confused about who's who or on the fence, repeat after me: GOOD PEOPLE DON'T HURT CHILDREN. GOOD PEOPLE DON'T KIDNAP CHILDREN. GOOD PEOPLE DON'T SEXUALLY ASSAULT CHILDREN. GOOD PEOPLE DON'T LET CHILDREN STARVE. GOOD PEOPLE DON'T USE CHILDREN AS TARGET PRACTICE.

This is a turning point. Nobody wants what we’re seeing in Minnesota. Speak up. In your workplace, in your community, in any forum you have. Just emailing friends and coworkers and saying this is wrong is a powerful act. Expressing yourself to others. That is democracy. Just don’t be silent.

“We’re rallying in solidarity with the people in Minnesota, because we don’t know who’s next,” Badger-Aguilar, a public employee and chapter president for Massachusetts Commission for the Blind, told HuffPost. “It’s really all of us that are at risk here." #ICEOUT Read more: seiu.co/3M5bZxj

I have been feeling a lot of anger lately due to our political climate. Dolly made this video today for her 80th birthday to benefit pediatric cancer. We can’t lose hope. youtu.be/McaD2PG8jOE

A bill to outlaw the sale, possession, transport, and distribution of farmed octopus in Washington advanced out of the state's House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee on Wednesday. washingtonstatestandard.com/briefs/washi...

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Thank you sir. This is the correct response that every politician should be making loudly @rephuffman.bsky.social @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov

Grateful to @geneweingarten.bsky.social for bringing up a story of a murder in the Civil Rights era that I had never heard of, one that has particular relevance right now. geneweingarten.substack.com/p/this-has-h...

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

A key way to help stop ICE is "providing people with concrete, outward-facing activities... while building an escalating national campaign that can culminate in larger coordinated days of nonviolent disruption..." Learn more here: www.thenation.com/article/acti...

Minneapolis right now: Parents use their weekend to attend a 3 hour deescalation training so we can be better prepared to support more vulnerable families at school drop off and pick up next week. Teachers create online learning plans for the next 5 weeks. The threat: our fed govt.

On the one hand I am glad the boys are making peace with each other. On the other hand I cannot move #cats

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

And here’s more.

I made home-made jalapeño poppers last night. They were Soooooo good and actually pretty easy. Sorry, no photos because they were so good I ate them all before I thought to capture the moment.

Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.

#BoycottFIFA2026 It's time. The USA is a rogue nation and it's not safe any anyone to travel to. The footballing world needs to take a principled stand and not send their teams to play.

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

Tonight, I was one of more than 200 people who gathered on Chicago’s North Side to mourn Renee Nicole Good. Several people asked me to publish my remarks from the vigil, so I’m sharing them here.

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.

Sitting here with friends, scheming to bring more beautiful things into the world. I open bluesky, am met with more horror. Every day more horror. On Sunday, I gave a talk to the scientists where I implored everyone to do *anything*. It's easier to break than make things. Please make something.

Welcome to 2026. Gloves off

From the first sighting of a colossal squid in the wild to a seriously goofy octopus, 2025 delivered some astounding photos from the ocean’s depths

Jan 6th rioter: “You can't gaslight me. I was there — I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down & hit his head & his back — So don't be telling me it wasn't violent. Don't come to me with that ever again”

Apple Photos Reminds Man He Was Nude In Capitol Building 5 Years Ago
