Brianna was deep into her antisemitism phase some time ago, but Gaby Del Valle, who writes for The Verge and recently did a snarky insult profile of Will Stancil for whatever her fanbase is, is almost certainly smart enough to know exactly what she means when talking about The Rothschilds.

I've recently been informed that "trad wife horror" (a tautology, I know) is the next big genre for 2026. OBSTETRIX by @naomikritzer.bsky.social is a brilliant example. She describes a reality that would have been unthinkable even a year ago. Chilling and so well done. Pre-order it! #BookSky 📚💙

This is such a blatant attempt at blackmail given that it takes less effort and fewer staff to run a security line where a bunch of travelers can leave their laptops in the bag and walk through a metal detector instead of a nakeycam.

among my favorite French Revolution details: the King's cousin, the Duke of Orleans, was so shook by the events of the revolution that he not only voted to execute his cousin but legally changed his name to Equality Phil.

Bringing this thread back. Outstate (meaning outside the metro) Minnesota is getting hammered right now. People continue to forget N. Mpls. If you have links for NOT Minneapolis (except North Minneapolis), drop them in the original thread as a reply. Replies and quotes open there.

Nazgul isn't talking, but his owners come clean about how he got loose, got famous, and how they feel now n.pr/3ODMRyx

To the rest of the US: I just cannot emphasize enough how much people in Minneapolis LOATHE Jacob Frey

@repangiecraig.bsky.social and @ilhanmn.bsky.social visited whipple today and were told there are roughly 500 DHS agents left in Minnesota. That’s still nearly twice what invaded Chicago. www.msn.com/en-us/news/u... Abolish DHS. Prosecute their crimes. Bring our neighbors home.

Put up some stickies in my town

Hi friends, we are still trying to raise the last 1/3 or so of the funds needed to keep my vulnerable neighbors housed in March, and I'm bribing you with dog pics & stories. I sort of accidentally added a bonus cat too! Linking that post: bsky.app/profile/cazt...

This "why does the left hate AI?" thing is like when the right believes protests are paid for by George Soros; they need a SECRET CONSPIRATORIAL AGENT because they refuse to believe that, actually, a lot of people are independently looking at what AI is being made to be and saying "ok that sucks?"

Wonderfully written NY Times piece by a local dad involved in the resistance, really echoes with a lot of what we’re feeling: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/o... (gift link)

After we abolish ICE we need to bulldoze Whipple.

Everyone who worked at this camp should go to prison.

Question for locals (for a story): What places (food/drink/shops/museums/etc) would you recommend for out-of-town visitors to spend money this summer? Specifically, places you love for their day-to-day merits and ALSO for their community support the last several weeks.

Please read this thread!!! And if you are concerned about ICE being deployed for voter intimidation, find a local voting rights org who is already doing the work. Start with Vote Riders. States having weird/changing Voter ID laws is less flashy for scaring folks but it works real well.

definitely seems like you're safer from any kind of punishment for being in the Epstein Files than for, say, just to pick two examples totally at random, attending a college protest for Gaza or tweeting that you weren't very sad Charlie Kirk died

I propose an international law that once you become personally responsible for the murder of 1,000 people, be it via direct violence or policy, you are declared a dragon and adventurers can form parties to quest against you.

This story is so great!

Top notch this-is-the-way sentiment I appreciate hearing directly (or hearing about) from Mpls 🧊 patrol calls, both N. & S. Mpls sides: Commuter: seeing 2 individs in SUV w/face gaitors, driving super sketchy...oh wait they're out and on the run, looks like just folks stealing a car, all good no 🧊

Along these lines: if you live in Minneapolis, the Hennepin County Attorney we elect this fall is going to be the lawyer in charge of prosecuting ICE agents for the murders and atrocities they committed against us. That's why I'm supporting Cedrick Frazier.

Book club scams are now threatening authors who don't fall for their BS. In December, I received an email from Herry Sharp, so-called CEO of "Super Book Lover Curator" praising my novella We Who Hunt Alexanders. Totally AI-generated and a scam so I didn't respond. Now Herry is threatening me. 1/

I was at a campaign event yesterday & a politician friend made this very important point to me: we can talk about all the different MN elections in Nov, but none of them is as close and crucial to fighting fascism than reelecting Keith Ellison

Dems need to adopt loving your neighbor as praxis. No, we will not tolerate you kidnapping our neighbors and putting them in torture prisons. No, we will not tolerate you taking our neighbors' dignity, safety, and civil rights away.

The amazing thing about colonoscopies is that they don't just detect cancer, they prevent it by snipping off any polyps they find before they turn cancerous.

Haven Watch is the group that meets people who are being released from Whipple (usually because they were illegally detained), often without coats or phones or any way to get home.

Yeah, this is pretty much exactly what I thought about when I saw Musk's stupid racist tweet: Minnesotans have spent the last month and a half saying we will die to defend our multicultural community.

I'm going to promote the heck out of this: The Minneapolis Foundation has $4 million in grants available to small businesses for everything from rent and payroll costs to legal help and temporary relocation. More details and the application here: www.minneapolisfoundation.org/stories/comm...

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

with alt text, because everyone needs to be able to read this 😭

I have a $500 matching campaign on this fund and it's hardly touched. Donate, dm me and you'll be matched on the honor system

I've been recommending "The Year Without Sunshine" by @naomikritzer.bsky.social A LOT this year. Yesterday one of them told me how much she liked it so I gave her additional recs to try, including "So Much Cooking". Thank you, Naomi! www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-...

Just cloned Stand With Minnesota for another state. I am so excited someone finally took me up on the offer. I even made them a little logo and redid the site in their colors.

Thinking about this more and I genuinely think they should do it. Pick a specific date, fund 1,000 block parties around the city, advertise it a month in advance, welcome tourists to come and eat and party with us. It would work!! Corporate sponsors can have their name in 6pt type on some list.

One of the things I find kind of fascinating about the Olympics is that the VAST majority of athletes who go, know with a high degree of certainty that they're not going to medal. They're there because they MADE IT TO THE OLYMPICS and they're going to do their best, and make new friends.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Remember when we asked you for supplies for folks being thrown out of Whipple in dangerous conditions? You were sending them to St. Paul Corner Drug, who was working to get them out into the neighborhood. They've posted a heartwarming thank you on IG: www.instagram.com/p/DUojPuBDd6x/

It only took me a month, but I finally made a volunteer page on Stand With Minnesota. Because we are about to need a lot of freaking volunteers. Help us keep Minnesota housed!

If CEOs want to fund parties, they can give $100k to every restaurant in town to cater something in their immediate neighborhoods

Obstetrix by @naomikritzer.bsky.social offers sharp commentary about the rise of modern theocratic misogyny, but also weaves a parable about the power of fiction to help get us through rough times. In the darkness of 2026, that second part is important Review: hugoclub.blogspot.com/2026/02/midw...

Hey folks! We have another wishlist from the Twin Cities. This one is focused on getting vital warm clothing to the unhoused during this super hard time. (as always, if you don't like amazon, please visit standwithminnesota.com and donate to one of their featured GFMs!) amzn.to/4qFo3np

Absolutely beautiful Steve Sack

do YOU have any experience in art, social, organizing, fundraising, comms, graphic design, & want to help us try to raise an insane amount of money to keep immigrant families in MN housed? I am looking for folks who would want to throw down. having a meeting monday evening. DM me if you're in.

The bathrobe lady was a journalist!

I want to watch the apparent catastrophe of the men's free skates. I seem to have started a "countdown" to the expiration of my "free trial" that NBC fully intends to make me use entirely watching ads?

"These connections could be the beginning of something so much bigger than getting ICE off our streets, if we want them to." www.firewalledmedia.com/p/wont-you-b...

got you (it’s longer but who cares you’re here to see caleb go apeshit)

I have spent at least five hours today writing up some notes on how Minnesota resistance functions. Hmu if you want to do some reading.
