Needer of naps (me... the dog gets plenty).

Pointing guns at an old couple in a church parking lot.
A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

I hate what has happening in our federal government.

I love what is happening in our country.

"I refuse to wake up in 5 or 10 years and look myself in the mirror and say 'you had a platform... and did nothing'"
The internet is rebelling against ICE. Outrage over the killing of Alex Pretti has spilled into typically apolitical online spaces, from golf YouTubers to r/catbongos. The government is losing influence, and a social movement is surging in power

Two famously conservative folks (reposted by a third) are telling us in no uncertain terms that defunding is the only answer...

Meanwhile, Congressional Democratic Leadership can't seem to get to that place.

It is LONG past time for new leadership...

We need fighters, not congenial collaborators!

Protestors are everyday people. People who live in the community. Bank employees, real estate workers, teachers, nurses, baristas... and all the rest of the people whose balls are cold but are still out there fighting for our freedoms.
🔥 “This started as a pretext about immigration and fraud… it’s WELL beyond that now. It’s into your 2nd/4th/6th Amendments… We’re performing CPR on what may already be a corpse called the Constitution… Wake up. This isn’t just Minneapolis. It’s ALL of us.”

ICE is a terror organization and must be dismantled, abolished and its members prosecuted. Full stop.

I've run out of things to say about what's happening.

If you think what is being done to us by our own government is ok, then you are irrevocably lost...

and so are we all.

Another dead person in MN at the hands of ICE/DHS.

Any @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.org that voted to approve funding for these goons needs to be

PRIMARIED.

In case you don't want to watch:

several ice goons dragging and beating a person on the ground... There's one or two shots from a goon in the scrum, then one stops swinging, steps back, pulls out his gun, and fires multiple additional shots at point blank range.

seems like a mob action & execution

This clip got lost in what has been a truly gruesome week. But it deserves a home.

It was like 20 below up there today. And that many people didn't give a shit about one kind of ice so that they could come out and protest another kind of ice.
Minnesota is the best of us.

Hundreds of clergy from myriad faiths throughout the country converge to counter the actions of DHS/ICE, it's a good indication that that agency are the bad guys...

... if the abductions, harassment, murder, taking of kids, and assault of bystanders and witnesses wasn't already a pretty good clue.
Have a larger story on this coming, but I’ve been embedded with this group, and this story from yesterday is part of what they’ve been doing in the city: religionnews.com/2026/01/22/h...

January 20th, 2026.

The one year anniversary of Trump's 2nd inauguration.

Also the date that the International Community told us that they are done with his - and unfortunately by extension our - bullshit.
Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

I'd contribute $5 a week to a general campaign to fund people yelling funny & humiliating things at Trump.
