US-owned TikTok is a greater threat than Chinese-owned TikTok.
BREAKING: Now that TikTok is under US-based ownership, the social media app potentially collects more detailed information about its users, including precise location data.

Minnesota, my home, is carrying a heavy burden right now.
Being kind is not being weak. The strength to care for others, to love and protect our neighbors, to be a shield and not a sword, to be warmth in the cold is true Minnesota nice.

Minnesota has a brilliant tradition of political art (see: the crop art at the State Fair) and as a St. Paul resident who has participated in the Winter Carnival in the past this makes me furious.
I'm a resident of the Twin Cities. A small team and I spent 3 days sculpting this for a competition/festival in extremely cold temperatures. We were disqualified for political messaging and one of the organizers defaced it. I have no regrets and I have never been more proud to be Minnesotan. (cont)

Modern Times is a South Minneapolis staple, and a personal favorite haunt. For the duration of the occupation they're renaming themselves Post Modern Times and going to a donation-only model. Everyone but ICE can eat for free.

The term for a police force where it is considered illegal to identify the members of that force, and attempts are made to keep those people protected from identification after they kill someone, is 'Secret Police'.
Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

We are stubborn, we have ethics, we NEVER forget, and we can be petty as fuck.
Every time I remember the 28th Virginia Battle flag I feel compelled to remind non-Minnesotans about it.
Captured by MN troops at Gettysburg. Virginia has asked for it back MANY times, and all governors (of all parties) have refused and told them to fuck off.

In a recent episode of @arcanecarolinas.bsky.social we discussed an 18th/19th century NC legislator accused at the time of being a werewolf (for real). He was a grifter and racist, sent hired goons into towns that didn't vote for him, assaulted people, weaponized frivolous lawsuits, the works. 1/6

A number of responders were quite opposed to the idea of giving ridealongs to The Atlantic (I understand their frustration with the outlet).
But I drove these guys around for two hours and they witnessed abductions, confrontations with the public, tear-gassings.
The lesson: let the world see.

The Atlantic Magazine just dropped a tremendous story on the Minnesota Resistance. The author is a war correspondent & sees the echoes of leaderless community empowerment around the globe: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202... (supposed to be a gift link, might not work, it’s in Apple News, too.)
Welcome to the American Winter
