This story is heartbreaking.

The White House is now Temu Versailles.

Cover of new book 'ICE OUT, Minnesota Writers Rising Up'. Obvious AI image of observers battling with ICE agents using water balloons and super soakers and an image of a Minnesota Flag with a 7 point star.

Here is an extremely disappointing use of AI. When I heard about this book, published 2/6/2026, 'ICE OUT: Minnesota Writers Rising Up' by Various Authors, I was super excited to purchase and read it until I took one look at the cover. What the actual F*** were they thinking?

And between her demand that we unquestionably support the Sheriff’s role in ICE and now her blasting me for saying that “no one should be going to prison for defending our city against ICE,” I think it is safe to say that Loretta’s view on ICE is extremely sus

Hey there. Just a reminder that the feds love releasing people from the Whipple Bldg in this kind of weather. Snow removal is needed down there if you can get there safely so that Havenwatch can get to those in need. Pass it on

This is an excellent skeet.

Screenshot of interview with new Target CEO reading “AP: Why hasn't Target taken a stronger stand against ICE? I know businesses have to legally allow agents in stores. FIDDELKE: When I think about navigating the start of the year here, especially in our hometown in Minneapolis, the thing that we have kept front and center every single day is the safety of our team. And so the safety of the team and the safety of our guests has been our North Star for decision making, and that’s guided every decision that we’ve made.”

If you want to play victim, you can never let up. You gotta go out there every day and be the biggest piss baby you can be if you want to make sure the establishment never stops giving you full deference.

A fake ICE tip line reveals neighbors reporting neighbors A Nashville comedian’s deportation hotline, set up as a joke, has gone viral among viewers who say it shows the “banality of evil personified” in the U.S. immigration crackdown.

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

The second part of this is BAD for democracy! Progressives & leftists should oppose anything that takes powers away from the Council (a diverse body elected by smaller communities) and gives to the Mayor (a city-wide office disproportionately elected by wealthy, white areas of the city).

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

What a great article about the Minneapolis resistance.

It's the first day of the Minnesota legislative session. All kinds of bills will be introduced this week, some will have a good chance of becoming law but many will not. Just something to keep in mind before you freak out about a particular bill. Yes this is a subtweet.

Where did they get those plates? We haven't used embossed blue characters in like 15 years

You know what? Fuck it, putting this on full blast.

In early December 2025, State Party Chair Richard Carlbom and I met for coffee and he solicited suggestions for reforms for the Code of Conduct Committee and asked me to ask my friends in the party to send their suggestions as well.

DHS: Our officer was ambushed and beaten with snow shovels and broom handles. This was an attempted murder of federal law enforcement.

ICE says federal agents appear to have lied about confrontation that led to shooting

Agents had initially said that two men — Alfredo Aljorna and Julio Sosa Celis – assaulted them with a broom and a shovel before one of them shot Sosa Celis. But that account was quickly called into question, and prosecutors now say “newly discovered evidence” contradicts the officers’ story.
