I don’t think you have to be wearing your skis at the end of any hill events, so that and gravity both help

It's a documentary, actually. (I've lived 55 years in MN.)

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan.

It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash.

“ICE GTFO OF MN”

Minneapolis February 4, 2026

Yes, and that's why you see CJ Schiltz (with attorney Ava Voss, who quit yesterday) and the D.D.C. judge yesterday explicitly call out the attorneys for doing good work -- so that the attorneys might stay on, or at least have something to point to later.

Prosecutor who helped convict Chauvin tapped to be federal judge Jerry Blackwell was one of the high-profile prosecutors who helped send ex-Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin to prison for the murder of George Floyd.

You probably know this, but that judge is the former private attorney who prosecuted Derek Chauvin. Smart guy; good lawyer. www.mprnews.org/story/2022/0...

The Chief Justice at oral argument even made fun of calling administrative patent judges "judges."

Double wow. I had just assumed this was settled in the negative. (N.b.: Many years ago, I researched whether a Patent Office reexam petition was an "action," and decided in the negative. Our client had agreed by contract not to file any "actions" against a patent.)

He figured out how to monetize protest, didn't he?

I have a friend in Fort Worth whose younger sister lives in St Paul, so the towns seem to have similar magnetism. Both are great people (b/c they had a great mother, a nurse)

Going forward, remember this: the D. Minn. judges are solid.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

LIVE ICE CLASH With Protesters as Trump THREATENS Insurrection Act | LIVE From Minneapolis YouTube video by Status Coup News

I'm a 50-year resident. Two minutes of this lady yelling is all you'll ever need to hear:L www.youtube.com/live/3zDzfZD...

My wife got so upset when we moved from Minneapolis to DC and my co-worker said she sounded like Marge G.

Oglala Sioux leaders seek missing members detained by ICE in Minneapolis Tribal leaders from the Oglala Sioux Tribe have arrived in Minneapolis to locate members detained by ICE.

They claim they lost three Lakota tribal members who they recently snatched in Minneapolis: www.fox9.com/news/oglala-...

Go to YouTube, search Status Coup and Mercado Media and perhaps Ford Fischer, and check their streams from that day. They aren't time stamped, so you'll need to infer the right time, but you can jump through the "driving around" portions.

First, you need to say you are talking about cities b/c small town lawyers have been able to do this with little effort forever. Second, it would be mob for criminal (b/c they had the $$ and tools), and perhaps antitrust or other huge biz cases on civil. Ask Dr. Phil; he did this.
