Those whistles are going to be the song of 2025
In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

This is a major bummer
The closure comes on the heels of two others in the past two weeks, Schram Haus Brewery in Chaska and Invictus Brewing in Blaine, as breweries nationwide grapple with steadily declining sales and consumption of beer and alcohol 🍺
Fair State Brewing announces it will close after this weekend
The Minneapolis brewery told its members it was no longer a “fully functional business.”

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF
