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.

Fucking excuse me?

If you think American citizens should be summarily executed by masked federal agents, you’re not a patriot. If you think the lawless goons loyal to our demented pedophile criminal president are greater than the people of Minnesota, you’re not a patriot. You’re a fucking Nazi.

I think I always sort of knew that this Trump Adminstration would become wildly unpopular and they would critically overreach their power and really piss people off. I just wish it didn’t have to cost lives like this.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

Stephen Miller is unelected, unconfirmed, getting people killed, and shredding the social fabric of this nation. Members of Congress should be demanding his exit from the Executive Branch.

Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing: 3M

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Most of us own respirators or masks. Weird how a global pandemic involving a novel virus that is airborne might be a factor in that. Also Minneapolis residents have had chemical weapons used on them before. You can buy them at any hardware store or even freaking Target. They're not rare.

The man killed by ICE was Alex Pretti, a 37-year old Minneapolis resident, UMN graduate, and licensed nurse. The Star Tribune with information we know at the moment: www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

This all makes me really appreciate Lincoln?

LRT: I heard something recently that Nurses are the profession with the highest favorability rating amongst Americans. If I were in charge of messaging, and this is true, I would absolutely run with it. We cannot have ICE (or any law enforcement) killing people in the streets.

He was a nurse.

I bought myself a “Twin Cities” Minnesota Twins jersey as a sign of solidarity, idk

Wait, there’s a new Purple Dinosaur Podcast in my feed? @tylermaun.com, @mastertones.bsky.social, what have you done

🍋

I don’t watch much college football, but I feel like the Playoff did it just about right. I think the number of teams/games is enough.

Seeing a team go for it and get it is pretty fun, tbh

Yeah, that checks out

I watch Rasmussen fairly closely because their “house effects” are so consistently favoring the GOP. For Democrats to be this far ahead is pretty big news, but it’s also pretty consistent with what I’ve seen from them on Trump approval.

potus sent another stupid letter huh just respond with this tweaked a little ad infinitum

Malala is here at @climatepledgearena.com for tonight’s @pwhltorrent.bsky.social game!! #SeattleTorrent #PWHL #SeattleSports

tony dokoupil sips on a bourbon and ponders the president’s views “let’s do the news” dead on arrival nobody bothered to check with the Jack Daniel’s brand the segment is canned all the whiskey fridays where do they all come from all the whiskey fridays where do they all belong

I just housed a burger. The Seahawks housed the opening kick. Coincidence?

Twist it

I mean, this is great, but I fail to see how a bunch of words on a piece of paper is going to stop a bunch of people who aren't going to read them.

Block block block.

Sometimes I think I’m an internet weirdo, and then I read the comments, and it’s like… y’all. Some of y’all need to calm down.

"ICE is out of control and beyond reform. We must fundamentally change the way we approach immigration: it’s time to abolish ICE." See, Dems? You can actually say it, and even draft legislation about it! It's possible to do!

Weird. In my Journalism 101 class, my professors taught me to replace passive voice with action verbs, not the other way around.

This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.

i don't really give a shit if consultants think being anti-ICE is "good messaging" or whatever when people are actively being shot, beat, gassed and jailed.

I think that people don’t comprehend that the state has been unapologetically beating young people’s asses basically nonstop & charging us with massive crimes for protesting since at least Occupy Wall Street & growing up like that has a chilling effect on the way people engage with democracy

Members of Congress should be openly stating right now that military action against Greenland will result in impeachment and removal of the President and the Vice President.

Would Eugenio Suárez to Boston heal @katienolan.bsky.social?

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch. It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

And just like the Mariners bullpen in 1996, he can’t save us.

THEM: sorry i’m late to the bowling alley, everyone. i got a flat tire on the way ME: sounds like you had to pick up a spare already [later at the ER] DR: how did he get stabbed with a bowling ball??

@sethcotlar.bsky.social, how long have you been at Willamette? Would the term “World Views” mean anything to you? Because I’ve been thinking about that class upon occasion recently and I’m sure that would tickle some long-time faculty.

Funny, I thought the lowest point in North America was this week in Minneapolis.

Oh I’m gonna need to come up with a Heated Rivalry joke for my signs this year, aren’t I.

Tbh, this is too kind to DHS, and I’m also looking forward to Democratic debates discussing big ideas and strategies only for the power brokers in the party to pull rank under the guise of “electability concerns.”
