In prep for Jack White (and Black) on SNL tonight, I urge you to watch Jack (White)’s 2020 appearance. It’s hard to describe how much life that incredible set gave me while locked down and terrified. It still resonates loudly and is one of the single-greatest musical moments in SNL history.

I don’t see anything here to explain the “impersonating a police officer” charge.

But also, it’s chilling how the officers play with these people’s lives. Stopped him for a scooter violation, and seem to refer him to ICE on a whim. If they hadn’t, he’d still be alive.

So many average citizens have stood up to Trump.

Alex Pretti went to the street to protect his fellow humans, who the Trump regime was harming. He lost his life for it. Renee Good lost her life for resisting.

And sorry, but—these fucking cowards in the Senate can’t vote against Trump nominees?

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)

The local news had a guy talking at the gas pump about how he didn’t mind paying $3.29/gallon for gas now because it was “$5 or $6 under Biden.” Gas hasn’t been $5 or $6 a gallon in MN for, like ever. It has, however, gone up significantly since Trump launched his illegal war just a few days ago.

Klobuchar also asks Noem if she'll commit to reversing DHS's decision to block Minnesota state and local law enforcement from the investigation into Alex Pretti's killing. She referred that to the FBI.

BREAKING: As I was first to report earlier, Trump has nominated Bradford Wilson, who does not meet the statutory requirements—which include that the nominee be nonpartisan and professionally qualified—to be the next Archivist of the United States.

Screenshot of an X post by Gregg Carlstrom (@glcarlstrom). The post says Trump is calling journalists to workshop different timelines and goals for his war, listing varying reported aims from the Washington Post, Axios, the New York Times, and ABC, including “freedom for the people” of Iran, ending it in “two or three days,” possibly “four to five weeks,” and mentioning “three very good choices” to take control in Iran before saying those choices were killed. The post concludes that he doesn’t sound convinced and is “throwing spaghetti at the wall,” suggesting he wants to say he solved a long-standing problem.

He has no idea what he's done or what to do now. Heavens help us all.

On Dakota land, a Dakota woman was arrested just for protesting ICE. Manifest Destiny didn’t go away, it just rebranded.

Statement on unlawful assembly, arrests at Whipple Building:
This morning, our deputies issued dispersal orders at an unlawful assembly outside the Whipple Building after individuals blocked roadways, blocked access to local businesses, dumped glass into the street, and threw rocks, ice chunks and water bottles at law enforcement creating a serious public safety hazard.
Arrests are being made.
Freedom of speech and peaceful assembly is a right.
Endangering the public is not. Unlawful activity including blocking roads, intentionally creating hazards and assaultive behavior will not be tolerated.

From what I saw today firsthand it was the sheriffs today constantly escalating at people protesting peacefully. The sheriffs were masked up like ICE while working hard to agitate and provoke the residents they were sworn to protect, all so they could provide security for ICE who murders people.

So, so instructive to compare media response to Afghanistan withdrawal -- months of hysterical garment-rending & catastrophizing, relentless criticism of the admin -- with the response to an unprovoked, unmotivated, illegal war of aggression, ie, "some critics say maybe Trump should have reasons."

As a Minnesotan I can’t help but feel the Iranian people are being told the same lies we are: “We’re here to help… it’s for your own safety… we have to kill some of you and repress the rest, and some of our own will die, but it’s for your own good. Just lock your doors, shut up and you’ll be fine.”

Someone was abducted in St Anthony this morning at 6 AM near 29th Ave & Silver Lake Road. And then at 8 AM we saw at least 5 agents out of their vehicles at 26th & Jackson near Walgreens before they dispersed into the neighborhood.

This isn’t over. We still need people keeping watch & staying safe.

Brought to you by the Admin who says “it’s not a crime to party with Mr. Epstein” … a document manifest showing 4 interviews the FBI conducted with a woman who accused the President of sexual abuse as a minor.

If there’s nothing to hide, why are they hiding these documents? ⬇️

The deliberate, systematic strategy of the Trump regime: Seize people indiscriminately, even if they’re going through the system exactly as they are expected to; detain them under brutally inhumane conditions specifically designed to break them - so that they will give up and waive all legal rights.

Family demands answers after Border Patrol kills their dog “He was his best friend,” says the attorney for a distraught El Paso man whose dog was killed inside his own home during an immigration check that found no wrongdoing.

This happened Sep 9, 2025. The agent that shot the dog would not identify themselves and then hid from the homeowners. Given the months that have passed the family’s attorney and Congresswoman have yet to hear a result of the investigation that CBP was conducting.

holy shit -- Bondi's new tactic is refusing to answer Democratic questions, then using time during the next Republican questioner to smear the previous Democratic member and accuse them of being complicit in violence crimes

This is SO insane. Not only that the Hennepin County sheriff's office allows this to happen in the courthouse, but also that NOW THE CASE CANNOT BE PROSECUTED because the guy is probably gone forever. JFC.
