Add extrajudicial killings at sea, destroying global order, increasing climate changes that kill people, and domestic terrorism - goons gunning down protesters, holding children in detention camps, reviving measles, tariffs paid by U.S. businesses and consumers. And so much more. Repost and resist!

Ironic to be writing about photography without crediting the photographer. Also saw several extremely high profile posts yesterday. Even “alt text” on a post would be … something

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Surprising precisely no one: Of course it was CBP doing reckless shooting at the border, using a weapon that didn’t belong to them, that caused this (deserved) freakout by the FAA.

The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

The AI de-aging of celebrities in all these Super Bowl ads is gross and actually looks awful. This trend can’t be over soon enough.
