Hunt, fish, sports, fantasy novels, but mostly my family.
My favorite sports teams all have rivals in Minnesota. I will now, and forever more, be cheering for all Minnesota sports teams because these people are so god damn inspiring and they deserve happiness

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

RESIGN.

You are simply not the leaders we need in this moment. Why are you clinging on to a leadership role when you clearly do not want to lead?

Yesterday a reporter asked me for comment about Minneapolis’ opposition to ICE. I got kind of worked up and sent way more than I should have. The piece is great—it’s in my prior post. But I wanted post my comments in full here:

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old and sent him alone to a facility in Texas. Hell isn't hot enough.
Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.

If you're a college football fan and aren't following Rodge then you're doing it all wrong.

Even if you just like Sports! generally, then hop on board.

Shit, if you don't like sports but like to laugh, still follow Rodge.

TLDR: Follow Rodge (and read his newsletter(s))
got fully in my feelings about Indiana winning the national championship, the greatest story in college football history.

If Indiana can do it, we can do it
If Indiana can do it, we can do it
It’s the greatest story in college football history. Maybe hope and belief aren't so naive.

This entire regime needs to be prosecuted
Noem: "What happened was our officers were out trying to get a car stuck out of the snow when they were surrounded and assaulted and blocked in by protesters ... this was an act of domestic terrorism" (It was 40 degrees in Minneapolis yesterday and snow was melting ... )

The woman killed by ICE was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old who was the mother of a 4-year old child whose father already died a few years ago.

We need to get it lodged more firmly in the discourse that Trump and Stephen Miller are prioritizing removing nonviolent immigrants over public safety. They are sinking so many resources into their ethnic purification project that they're putting us in more danger.

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him.

One of my favorite presents ever—my dad found and framed this pic of my mother @sunminkimes.bsky.social at a Seattle courthouse after she passed her US citizenship test in 1981. Like so many of the people who come here to start a new life, she is the best of us—the bravest, strongest person I know.

It’s true. We shouldn’t pretend that. Trumpist culture is not the same as American culture and not equal. Trumpist culture is proudly ignorant, defiantly against America’s founding values and subsequently developed values, venomously bigoted, and generally despicable.
Fox News' Will Cain: "I’m sure there are very honorable law-abiding upstanding citizens and contributors from the Somali community here in the United States, BUT..."

He goes on to say "we aren’t going to pretend here that all cultures are of equal value or the same."

I can't tell you how many of my (wonderful, driven, caring, genuinely outstanding) students are Somali. I'd take each and every one of them over a thousand of that orange pissbag. I'd take a single one of them over every last dollar he has.

My students are an inspiration. Trump's an embarrassment.

Elites are capitulating on the core values of the institutions they steward

This isn’t nibbling at the edges

A whole class of people who attained power and privilege devoid of duty and responsibility
In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit.

Elite capitulation continues.

Read all about it here:

Trump Angrily Threatened to Sue BBC. Then Things Took a Darker Turn.
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

"We're so disappointed (in you)!"

Super strong messaging from Colorado Dems here, definitely makes me want to donate!

I shouldn't be so surprised about such poor messaging from Dems, as it's basically our brand these days but come on.
