Just landed in Minnesota for tomorrow's game. At MSP airport, they had a dog that was just there to be petted. That was his only job. He was very good at it.

We need more freely pettable dogs and fewer untrained and unrestrained masked thugs who are beholden to neither law nor basic humanity.

This is Boro. He went missing in southern Spain after a train derailment that killed 43 and injured 150. After four long days, he was captured by firefighters and has finally been reunited with his family. 14/10 welcome back buddy

“Instead, they redefine “religious freedom” not to mean the right to worship, but to be shielded from criticism — a freedom that is only enjoyed by right-wing Christians.”
Last week, MAGA was claiming they're the *real* victims because some protesters called out a church who has an ICE agent pastor.

They're both babies and liars. But I also dug into the church.

It's the church that declared empathy is a "sin." Analysis.

My assistant helping me measure the depth of sleet. We ended up with ~5.2" of pure sleet accumulation here in far southeastern Oklahoma! It is now a solid slab of ice. 😵‍💫

There comes a point when lying feels like swallowing a sharp-edged rock.

Republicans, Alex Pretti should be your breaking point. Time to spit out that rock.

My column, and a call for help from any of good conscience:

Republicans, Alex Pretti should be your breaking point | Opinion
Alex Pretti, 37, was an ICU nurse who cared for veterans. Federal agents shot and killed him on a Minneapolis street and none of it makes sense.

“ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet wounds” friends there is not a hell hot enough
BREAKING: A young doctor who lives near where Alex Pretti, a nurse, was killed by ICE says in a declaration he saw the shooting, went out to help, was not let through at first then patted down before being let by, and was apparently the first to try and provide any medical assistance to Pretti.

There are entire new cohorts of Americans, discovering in horror what the Black Americans always knew, feom their firsthand experiences…

This interview with James Baldwin was aired in the 1960s… and is so painfully valid today - on the day of ICE murdering another American.

His name is Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old.
He was a licensed nurse.
He was recording ICE and defending a female protester from their aggression.

And they executed him.

This is our reality, and we all must act accordingly.
The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

I thought about the passion and devotion it took for all those people to be out there. And then I walked my dog this morning in the -5 wind chill and realized they're absolute warriors and ICE is fucked.
in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today
