Regular ol’ middle-aged Midwestern mom: Vegetarian. Heart attack survivor. I was dead-ish for about five minutes. Tongue-tied. No middle name. Ate fire once. She/her.

That about covers it.

They don't seem to realize that the video of them abusing a legal observer is probably worse than whatever video the legal observer had already obtained of them.
New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis.

The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.

THIS is so important. Mention at the checkout counter that you just can’t get the footage out of your mind, ask your apolitical sister how she’s making sense of it, tell your neighbor you’re thankful for the calm here and wondering how your neighborhood would respond if it happened here.
Honestly, one kind of basic but easily-skipped thing I want people to do: *Talk to people you know*

Tell them these stories

Tell your less-online relatives, coworkers, and friends. Ask them if they know what's happening in Minneapolis and tell them some things you've seen

People do not know

I cannot emphasize how much “be the news” is the opposite of what I was taught about how to be a good journalist and strikes me as an excellent way to churn out elite solipsism that has nothing to do with the public interest and everything to do with self promotion www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/b...

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.

The DOJ is more than three weeks late in delivering the Epstein Files. In those three weeks:

- Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela
- ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota
- Trump is preparing an invasion of a NATO ally
- Trump initiated a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Powell

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.

IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

Oops, wait. This is better. My husband, a friend and I saw DEVO in D.C. earlier this year and got drinks at the generic bar next to the concert venue. Ended up chatting about the show with two people holding energy domes—a man (est. late 30s) and woman (est. early 20s) I figured were on a date. 1/2
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Dan Rather was the keynote speaker at a scholarship event at which I was one of the winners. I was 17, wearing my first blazer and cradling a hideous brass trophy as I told him how I loved when he sang “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?” with R.E.M.
