July 1998. San Francisco, CA. Right outside the door of @citylightsbooks.bsky.social. You may recognize this corner from the opening of So I Married an Axe Murderer. I bought Social Blunders by Tim Sandlin that day.

I have 2 words for those people, who seem to think there is only way to protest and everything else is useless despite reams of evidence to the contrary.

Mickey Windecker.

If you don't know that name, Google him. He's a total pos and a cautionary tale against both trusting the FBI or dumbasses.

I understand the sentiment, but this is incorrect.

Alex Pretti was not at a protest.

This was a normal (for Minneapolis in 2026) Saturday morning in front of the neighborhood donut shop.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

HAPPENING NOW: A massive crowd is gathered in freezing temperatures outside ICE headquarters in DC to demand ICE OUT OF ALL COMMUNITIES NOW.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Who can I call about all the anti-choicers who filmed me for years while doing clinic defense? I was just trying to do my job.

Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans.

Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror.

Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.

I bet it's also as accurate as Mac's "ocular patdowns" at Paddy's.
Palantir is working on a tool for ICE that populates a map with potential deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a “confidence score” on the person’s current address. @josephcox.bsky.social breaks it down.

I'm glad Magpie is on the ground reporting the real work being done. She always gives me hope in a very real and direct way.

To all of the leftists who are telling Minneapolis they are doing it wrong from BlueSky... this is what REAL praxis looks like. It's not your urban warfare fantasies.
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.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Maaaaan I just got a phishing email from "OpenAI" pretending to be my boss setting me up with a ChatGPT account. Shit looked legit.

I hate AI so much I just started yelling, "Did, you send me this garbage? You know I hate this shit!"

Be cranky and loud. Because of this She replied, "I didn't!"

Have any of the people making grand statements about resistance tactics ever actually engaged with using their bodies in this way?

For 10 years, I was a clinic defender.

I know what it takes and how draining it can be on a much smaller scale.

The people of MPLS are fucking badass.
January 21, 2026 at 9:28 PM
I get that people are frustrated, but damn, the keyboard warriors need to relax about their preference for resistance tactics.

They are free to travel to the scene and organize but don't.

Why is their expectation that someone else commits the violence they wish to see?

I kinda want to know if he got as out-of-touch and delusional as his cohort.

But I also don't, because I really don't want to know anything.

I need reparations for the fact he staked a claim in my brain. I didn't ask for this.

My high school Government teacher was Kirk Cox - previous Speaker of the House of Virginia.

Whenever I see "NATO" I hear it in his voice because in 1997, he couldn't stop talking about it.

He gave us extra credit once for visiting him at the Capitol, though.

Mike Johnson's only connection to the outside world is his son's Covenant Eyes account.
Mike Johnson tells me that he hasn’t seen Trump saying in Davos “what we have gotten out of NATO is nothing”

Hey lefties - don't reinvent the wheel.

People have been on the ground doing this work since before any of us were born. You don't get to practice your spicy new tactics on real humans with real consequences.
The Virginia Defenders put out this statement in response to the Party for Socialism and Liberation in Virginia. The full statement is available at defendersfje.blogspot.com/2026/01/immi...

Xenophobia is cool.

Glad he cares about the marginalized people who have been fighting against this government for decades.
I don't think the Americans, and yes, I mean all of you, are prepared for how hated you now are by everyone.

Its not going away folks. Youve lost all rights to speak to us without being told to go fuck yourselves.
Lutnick heckled in Davos. FT: “The gathering on Tuesday night descended into uproar after combative remarks from Lutnick, the people said, with widespread jeering, some guests walking out and appeals for calm from Fink.”

Golden Girls re-watch is intense!

- Mario Lopez deported by ICE - Dorothy ran his essay in the paper.

- Rita Moreno suggests to end the "conflict in the Middle-East" by giving Greenland to Palestine.

-Bea Arthur yelling at Jenny Lewis about sending her off in a sack to a bad girls' school.
