This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

This is a good idea.
People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

So much winning.
New tariff just dropped.
Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.
(Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).

Heard a comment today at the Roseville protest and it about made me cry.
"It took 4 years and 5 blocks to go from kneeling on a black man's neck to shooting a white woman in the face".
I really feel like hell is about to break loose.

Every democracy slides the same way: abuse of power, denial of facts, and a public asked to look away.
This moment demands attention — and accountability.

Bluesky is similar to the bird in that I am getting followed by strangers who want to engage with me in DM's. Except here it's men and not women. It's a lot like Facebook. Ugh.

I'm a 70 year old woman, and I want to be a resistance guerilla. What can I do going forward, besides driving by MAGA flag houses with an airhorn (which I really want to try, at 2am)?

Nope.

Ever notice that Republicans can’t even be happy when they win? They’re still out crying “election fraud” over a few races we managed to prevail on. It’s exhausting.
