Self-described "bounty hunters" driving a fake company van pulled a weapon on observers in downtown Minneapolis yesterday. As usual, the loyal ICE lapdogs of Hennepin County were useless, asking folks to submit a form online, despite many eyewitnesses on-scene they could simply listen to.

Also: We killed Kristi Noem's presidential ambitions. They always say: Why can't you go back in time and stop Hitler, etc. Maybe we did. Just maybe. Noem, just remember: No Minneapolis, no tabloid focus on your airplane blankies and Corey excitement. At Thanksgiving, you had a blank check. But:

This is very good

Wabi Sabi songwriting!

I feel the same way about it, but even in its first-draftedness it makes me tear up every time.

Make Star Trek boring again.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

If we quadrupled the amount of money libraries in the states got could we have this?

Public chess? Restaurant? Cafe? Maker spaces? Board games? Game rooms? Knitting circles? Instrument libraries? RECORDING STUDIOS? I mean, c’mon.

Not me being absolutely radicalized by the Helsinki Public Library.

happy 14th anniversary to all who observe

Yes, but at what cost?

I live in Minnesota and I want the federal government to stop trying to kill us. And hurt us. I want them to stop attacking us.

It sucks.

We’re just trying to live our lives and take care of each other and we don’t deserve all this.

I kid around sometimes here but I’m not kidding now.

So roughly still 6X pre-surge, down from 16X, and planning for 3X long run.

Scotland unveils world's first law that would shift wealth towards local communities This could radically transform how money is distributed throughout the country…and across the globe.

Scotland's Community Wealth Building Bill is a potentially world-changing strategic economic law with the power to end billionaire domination. Little wonder that *zero* English media outlets have covered it.

I will never willingly watch or listen to anything he says.

The Athletic reports that Team USA GM Bill Guerin was who invited FBI Director Kash Patel into the locker room for the celebration

As Kash Patel actively covers up the murders of Minnesotans, the Minnesota Wild GM invites him into the USA locker room. Awful look.

Wait until DOGE hears about this.

I have so internalized “No one is coming to save us” that when I see an actual elected stepping up I am DELIGHTED.

Minnesota suburbs see ‘stealthier’ tactics as ICE stays active Minnesota residents and lawmakers say the promised drawdown has not materialized, and they are seeing ICE use more covert tactics to continue operations across Twin Cities suburbs.

"Her organization has been receiving reports of agents going door-to-door pretending to be environmental canvassers. These tactics have had an impact on her organization’s canvassing group, who are now at risk of being furloughed while ICE operations continue." sahanjournal.com/immigration/...

When I say our leaders aren’t helping us, this is what I mean. ICE is showing no signs of leaving but our senator, who is currently running for governor, doesn’t even know that. And she’s doing the administration‘s work for them.

Hell yeah. Donating now. Let’s go neighbors!

Haven Watch to the rescue again, and the operation really hasn't slowed down much FYI. #iceoutmn #Minneapolis #MN50501 TikTok video by 50501Minnesota

The videos of Minnesotans waiting to greet people released at Whipple with coats and hugs get me every time.
