Pro Football Hall of Famer John Randle posted a statement about ICE as text overlays on various portraits of himself and I kind of love it
I haven't liked to talk about politics on this account. I wanted to have a fun spot for Vikings fans, like me. Many have been scared of backlash, losing friends or followers... but I am saying clearly: 1 am NOT okay with reckless violence condoned by the Trump Aministration. I am NOT okay with people being murdered in own own communities. 1am NOT okay with people being taken from their homes and families being ripped apart. lam NOT okay with people being denied due process.

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.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

January 15, 2026 at 5:08 PM Reid Forgrave ICE agents eat at small-town Mexican restaurant — then arrest workers Federal agents detained three workers from a family-owned Mexican restaurant in Willmar yesterday, hours after four agents ate lunch there. It was not immediately clear what the immigration status of those detained was, or whether the people detained included the restaurant’s owners or only workers. An eyewitness who declined to give a name for fear of retribution, told the Minnesota Star Tribune that four ICE agents sat in a booth for a meal at El Tapatio a little before 3 p.m. Staff at the restaurant were frightened, said the eyewitness, who shared pictures from the restaurant as well as video of the arrest. The arrest happened around 8:30 p.m. near a Lutheran church and Willmar Middle School as agents followed the workers after they closed up for the night. A handful of bystanders blew whistles and shouted at agents as they detained the people. “Would your mama be proud of you right now?” one of the bystanders asked.

Two days after an ICE agent killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, a federal agent asked an observer, "Have y'all not learned?" Her phone was taken and she was briefly detained.

Two days after that, another federal agent said, “You did not learn from what just happened” to a different observer.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

They have no shame. You cannot reason with them. They are not interested in being good people. They don't care about you. They will not apologize. That's all you need to know and why working with them is never, ever a way out of this

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Rocco Baldelli’s final act as fired Twins manager is shielding the front office
Baldelli took the fall for back-to-back ugly seasons, but what does that solve if the Twins' ownership and front office remain unchanged?

Have spent a little more time going through IND's passing game in 25, Mendoza's numbers are very gaudy, 77% CMP%, 14TD-0INT, 206 NCAA passer rating(144.6 NFL). He's a very accurate passer but those numbers are heavily anchored by screens & RPOs

"He's got a quiet confidence, but there's no arrogance there at all."

Despite arriving on campus in January, Iowa quarterback Mark Gronowski has been voted as a team captain. How did he emerge as a true leader for the team? Kirk Ferentz explains:

NEW: Post-fire sale Twins win again behind red-hot rookie Luke Keaschall and 'grandpa' Ryan Fitzgerald.

One of my favorite game stories I've written. Hope it does some justice to a wild win, Keaschall's non-stop hitting, and the Twins' surprising run.

When the #MNTwins’ direction became clear Thurs, Griffin Jax requested a trade, one the club granted but didn’t have to. Those details and more here:

Initially, the Twins didn’t know if they’d find the right return for their elite setup man because of a slow-developing market.

As they sat in the same hotel room right before 5 pm CT, Joe Ryan thought he’d been traded to Boston. Griffin Jax believed he was staying. Then Louie Varland’s phone rang.

Here’s how #MNTwins players experienced Thursday’s stunning trade deadline.
