over the next 3 years, be ready for seeing a lot of coverage of Republican lawmakers, business leaders, university leaders who did absolutely nothing to stall Trump (on the contrary) — about how *actually* they were wringing their hands all along. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/u...

McGill's stock on a legendary run
I have been writing letters of recommendation for just shy of thirty years— 17 students this year alone— in ratios that more or less track the majority-women population of liberal arts students.
Obviously I have never commented on a student's looks... and no recipient has ever called me to ask.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Guv this is literally the “mark the vans” tweet
Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

There were 3800 children in ice custody in December. We have no idea how many they have now. This began with Obama and only increased under Biden. This administration has increased holding children in camps.
1 less now that Liam is home.
Bring them all home. Close the camps.

This person is running for Governor of the state Trump has turned into the Purge and is posting about coffee prices. DC brained fool who needs to fucking quit.
Trump's reckless tariffs have driven up coffee prices by nearly 15% since last summer.
Your morning cup shouldn't cost more because of the administration's trade policies.

Tariffs Are a Buzzkill for the Coffee Biz - NerdWallet
Tariffs on coffee-producing countries — including a 50% levy on Brazil — are likely to raise prices for America’s millions of coffee drinkers.

Amy when you’re done self-promoting do you think you could go get that kid out of that concentration camp
Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot.
And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other.
I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong.
Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Governor. youtu.be/SiV3xVkX-kg

This is exactly it. ICE chuds are larping some twisted version of manhood. Alex Pretti woke up like that.
ICE and Trump have fully lost control of any narrative. Because all anyone saw yesterday was a bunch of insecure incels killing a man for being everything that is seen as what makes a good man.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.
