I'm really asking: What is the math on all of this? If Metro Surge started Dec 1, and they claim to have deported 4,000 people, at a cost of $18 million a week, and it's been ten weeks, they show no sign of leaving, and we leave out the murders—$2billion to destroy us?

Goal: stay sane while effectively pushing back one day at a time. Day 392
Puppy obedience went well yesterday. Drove by MPLS VA nearby. Memorials to Alex Pretti line the fences. I feel so sad. Helicopters overhead yesterday. Today I order garden supplies for hope.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

AG: three weeks ago he and his Maga crowd of 10 we’re driven out of downtown Minneapolis with water balloons and a super soaker.😮
Just gonna drop this photo of January 6 insurrectionist Jake Lang destroying a "Prosecute ICE" sculpture in Minneapolis. He's been arrested for this, btw.

And GOP pols quivering in fear of this mentally ill psychopath who backs down with any pushback.
It's obvious but still striking to consider that we have a United States government driven solely by one man's emotional dysregulation and dysfunction.

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...
Pursued by federal agents, suburban ICE observers remain resolved
After a frightening pursuit by federal agents, suburban ICE observers say fear hasn’t stopped them from protecting their communities.

Sanity is hard to find in this nightmare but I am trying. At least the helicopters over my house have stopped. Yesterday I found ways to contribute which helped. Today: Walk McGee, make soup.

This, re: Kennedy Center
Swalwell: Nobody wants to perform there. Everyone who had been booked is now canceling since this guy put his name on it. I think he’s trying to save himself the humiliation of no one wanting to perform there or go there.

People are all marveling at the Minnesota Resistance. But really, was it a surprise. Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion noted the character for years.
