One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

Walz: "You kill a man, and then you just leave? You're law enforcement -- you just leave? Is there a single case in American history where you just, like, walk away and say, 'I guess that just happened and we're not gonna clean up our mess?'"

Literally 10 days ago, Hoeven introduced a bill to make concealed carry easier across the nation to help "law-abiding citizens to more freely exercise their Second Amendment rights." www.hoeven.senate.gov/news/news-re...

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

/7 Also watch how the Gestapo administration will refuse to even investigate this murder, as they refused to investigate the murder of Renee Good. They define reality: someone we kill inherently deserved to die; us killing someone means killing them was right and fit.

/4 Usually they are standing up for people who don’t even know - but people who are their neighbors, as defined by the Jesus whose words the cruel Trump supporters cynically profane. They are Americans. If they don’t give up, how can we? Be more like them.

/3 In this moment of horror, look at the people of MN. They’re not an army. Few are trained for urban combat, through there are many veterans. They are young and old and rich and poor. They are standing up at great personal danger, defying a despicable Gestapo government and its vile apologists.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

Once again, the heinous termagant and pissy podcaster fails to read the room — how does a person descend into this level of cruelty? To be fair, it was short trip for her.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

The Timberwolves should refuse to play until ICE is out of Minneapolis. Ditto other NBA teams

If I believed in hell, it would be less punishment than what Miller deserves. He’s a sadistic wildly dishonest raging bigot who gets off on using the state to kill and persecute people.

GEORGIA… 🔥

ICE attempted to order local police from the scene of the Minneapolis shooting, but the police chief refused and instructed his officers to preserve the crime scene. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever: “It’s time to develop a diversified range of strategic partnerships based on mutual respect and supported by maximum free trade. “And that can indeed be done with middle powers such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. 1/2

Thousands outside Terminal 1 at the Minneapolis airport now.

A reminder that Bessent is supposed to be one of the more normal ones around Trump. I would take this as a clear sign the WH is open to (or even keen on) interference in any AB election or referendum.

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

The parents of a 7 year old, all of whom are in the process of applying for asylum, took their daughter to the ER when her nose wouldn't stop bleeding. ICE picked them up near the hospital and they are now in detention in Texas, presumably awaiting deportation. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Sorry. Nope.

Totally predictable and also: Absolutely fucking bananas. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/h...

It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

This is the temperature where I consider putting on a jacket to do the bins but usually don't bother

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

Thanks, Eighth Circuit

I've lived in Minnesota my whole life and have experienced some major cold snaps but this is the first time I've heard about exploding trees.
