🎶 go on home, federal soldiers, go on home

have you got no bloody homes of your own? 🎶

ICE needs to mask to protect their identities, but ICE will publicize the names of protesters

ICE demands to be addressed respectfully, or ICE will call you a "fucking bitch"

ICE demands to be treated civilly, or ICE will fly into a rage and kill more innocents

ICE, the biggest snowflakes of all

true collectors prefer a Nobel Prize in mint condition with the recipient’s name clearly visible but lightly-used in the original packaging is still pretty valuable

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

What to do if ICE shows up at your home, workplace or school What are your rights if ICE shows up at your home, workplace, or school? How do you make a safety plan?

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

all these people saying a car is a deadly weapon but won't do shit about cars as deadly weapons when it comes to actual safe roads

Mayor Jacob Frey, Governor Tim Walz, Public Safety Commissioner Bob Jacobson, and MN lawmakers preparing for the next legislative session in February must can and must act immediately to protect civil liberties and community safety at a moment of intensified federal operations on our city.

ICE killed a member of our community today. ICE showed up at my kid’s daycare today. ICE is bragging about the number of families they’ve torn apart in a matter of days, and promising that their campaign of terror isn’t done.

The meme of setting off a little domino that knocks down progressively larger dominos. The little domino is labeled "Gerardus Mercator develops a projection for constant-heading navigation" and the big domino is labeled "Donald Trump invades Greenland".

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

two federal agents in fatigues point at protesters and onlookers who are recording them

community members and journalists flee an alley where chemical irritants have just been deployed

members of the minneapolis police department stand in a line at the corner of portland and 34th

members of MPD escort a black van down portland avenue

some photos from portland and 34th today. we'll have a story up on racket soon. they gassed us, they knocked folks to the ground, and i watched agents ram a white pickup into a group of protesters, if you're wondering who was actually doing car violence.

A drawing of a person with darker olive-brown skin wearing a puffy winter jacket and a long winter scarf standing in front of a snowy background. They are wearing a long winter scarf that sways in the breeze and says MINNESOTA in bold letters. They are holding a tater tot hot dish with the tater tots arranged to spell out NoICE. They are also wearing a whistle on a lanyard and a button that says WE KEEP US SAFE.

It’s not Minnesota Nice anymore, it’s Minnesota NoICE!

Shower thought of the day:

How is there NOT an Indian restaurant in Hawaii called "Taj Mahalo"?

Empty bike paths are a waste of taxpayer dollars. Empty car lanes are a congestion-fighting success.

Silver lining: the band's name is now literally true.

Current Committee Vacancies - Metropolitan Council

Twin Cities folks:

The Met Council Transportation Advisory Board has openings. Apps due by today!

This is a great way to get more involved with important active transportation conversations in the metro.

Orbital - Halcyon And On And On

Sometimes, computers are remarkably effective at understanding language.

And sometimes, they offer to play "Halcyon Plus O.N. Plus Oxygen Mononitride" by Orbital.

How many Radiohead references can you count?

Your periodic reminder that AI is only ever as "unbiased" as the folks running it.

Fun fact: OpenAI's Sora will cheerfully generate videos extolling the virtues of Christian socialism - and then silently delete them from your feed.

Disney: capitulating right away when the core idea of your major franchises is creative resistance.

Nobody talks about his hard it is to be both a people pleaser and a committed curmudgeon

The suggestion to simply replace all of your social media content with anodyne statements like "higher education good" is... certainly something.

You *CAN* do the frug.

But it's not compulsory.

Important note for folks in leadership:

"Hate speech" is not the same thing as "Speech that *I* hate".

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers
