Very detailed explanation of the halftime show. (I’m guessing most national outlets will just steal this.)

I think if the intent of the Jimmy Kimmel stuff a few months ago was to convince him to stop speaking his mind about politics, it … did not work. This is worth a watch if you haven’t seen it.

Bovino's gone but it's not over: they're ramping up. They're going to use Fort Snelling for "parking approximately 300-500 vehicles . . . a ready room space for 500-800 CBP personnel . . . access to a magazine to store munitions."
Exclusive: Hegseth boosts Minneapolis immigration siege, approving use of military base
In an email obtained by the Chronicle, U.S. Customs and Border Protection asked for use of Fort Snelling to house federal immigration agents, weapons, vehicles and aircraft.

Crowd is massive, now overflowing Congress Plaza and taking up a block-long stretch of Michigan Avenue.

Reminder: this event was only announced yesterday.

Our great-great grandfather fought at Gettysburg in the 1st Minnesota. He lost his leg but he and his compatriots turned the tide of the war, fighting for human emancipation. To think history might repeat due to a racist, violent, self-righteous cult with a very sick leader is gut wrenching.

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

This post in particular
This continues to get lost, but Miller is sinking massive resources into boosting the sheer numbers of deportations (to shift the ethnic mix of the country) at the expense of public safety.

This is empirically the case. It's almost never explained this way.

Banger thread
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

In case you missed that this is an update: The woman has died. #SOS wants more of this. I hope @mayorher.bsky.social understands that this is why the Summit Regional plan is a critical need. Not one death is acceptable. We know how to prevent these deaths and have the ability to do so. A choice.
The 75-year-old woman and her husband were crossing the street when they were hit, according to police.

Trying to acclimate to a place with less public transit, but spent the whole day out and about: ALine to Green to Textile Center, bus to (near) St Anthony main for brunch, walk to Nicollet Island Pavilion. Walk to bus. Bus to cafe. Walk to Walker. Home via bus, Blue, ALine. 11am to 8pm. In the snow
