The current lead time on issuing tornado warnings is about 15 minutes. A @universityofkansas.bsky.social study shows that the @noaa.gov Warn-on-Forecast System could help weather forecasters issue warnings before tornadoes even form.

TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

CNN reporting that a week before Alex Pretti was killed, 5 agents tackled him and he suffered a broken rib. CNN says he stopped his car after he saw ICE agents interacting with a family on foot and began to blow his whistle. Source tells CNN Pretti believed “That day he thought he was going to die”

It would be better to investigate actual crimes, such as public executions. Also: whenever these characters use the term “law enforcement” it is a tipoff that they are talking about an act that is questionable or downright illegal.

Asked about Minneapolis, Victor Wembanyama says, “PR has tried, but I’m not going to sit here and be politically correct.”
Then says “it’s crazy that people make it seem like … the murder of civilians is acceptable.”

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Waking up today I felt borderline euphoric. With no leadership and no institutional buy-in the people shut down economic activity, defended their neighbors, and ended a fascist's career. None of those things were supposed to happen, but regular people decided they should, so they did. Incredible!
Minnesota staged a general strike, defended itself against a pogrom in the absence of elected leadership, and got an einsatzgruppenführer fired. That unfamiliar feeling is actual, honest-to-god people power.

Rahm Emanuel's “combination of policy talk, moral reflection and candid critiques of recent Democratic fixations is distinctive, and there’s impressive political savvy in what he foregrounds and how he frames it,” argues Frank Bruni.

Greg Bovino sadly filling one steamer trunk after another with elaborate fashy overcoats, the teargas canisters he always has bouncing around on him like labubus, and dozens of "chest-belts." They will be shipped ahead of him as he prepares to return to his home, which is a men's size 10 boot.

Imagine a paramilitary gang kills 2 observers over 2 weeks, then shows up at your home to say, "You, observer, we know where you live."
That's a death threat.
If it happened to me or a colleague when I was a human rights observer in N. Ireland, we would've lodged complaints with three govts.

One human rights observer in Maine said agents followed her home, blocked off her street, and came to her door to say they know where she lives. Her children are now staying elsewhere, to keep them safe.
Now in Maine: ICE watchers say federal agents are coming to their house to threaten and intimidate them.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

I mean, yeah. It is insurgency because I guess what we call insurgency overseas is often also just people trying to defend their neighbors from invaders who hate them.
MAGA military geniuses are talking about Minnesota protestors like they are the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban, and the Viet Cong all rolled into one.
