Just full on channeling Hunter S Thompson.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Digital sketch of the famous Mothman, hunched over, covered with his wings. His legs flexed to support his weight, and several, spiny looking lims coming out of his middle section. His head is big and round, sporting just a pair of antennas and two big, red, shiny eyes. He's looking back.

Commission - Moth, but also Man.

…what in the Verhoeven is even happening here.

Oh these are PRECIOUS though!

For those who are unaware of this particular fandom…that’s a helluva group to radicalize.

Also - we should’ve learned on the first viewing after the break between seasons 2 and 3 and the show’s big shrug about that resolution that the runners weren’t THAT hardcore about twists or turns…

It can honestly be a delightful idea, it’s right at home with like…the first two Cloverfield movies’ campaigns. But that era also kind of came and went - closest I can think of is Bluey’s surprise last episode.

i'm just in awe of Minneapolis right now. and i _live_ here, i know how we roll, but i am in fucking awe of all of us.

That happened in my literal front yard, and that he’s been eclipsed by just a parade of horrors is some absolutely primo staring-into-the-abyss material.

Opinion | State Terror Has Arrived

M. Gessen nails it in their column today.

There is no defined goal behind ICE murders. There‘s no personal magic formula that avoids ICE violence. This isn’t an enforcement effort gone bad.

Trump’s aim is to terrorize the American people and the tool is arbitrary and unpredictable state violence.

I’m expecting this to take up tomorrow’s lower right hand corner on the Pioneer Press at most, too.

Like we take our scraps when Strib’s got them and they’re turning up for this one.

OC lore train 💫 explain your OC's lore in the worst way possible.

She doots the flute and collects her loot while a bunch of moots are in hot pursuit.

Local demidog plays human, sings some songs, and ponders what a dubiously immortal existence means in a world full of love.

who can forget the famous Boston Tea Party, in which a bunch of Boston's Finest gathered to sip on some tea after cracking the skulls of some dirty hippies who dared protest the King

A digital painting of an ice cube, followed by several hands closed over each other with water pouring from them. Bold text on the art reads: "ICE MELTS".

so don't get too comfortable.

Pass it on! It's pfp day where you post your pfp!

My daughter! (In bona fide hand drawn ACTUAL Ghibli style). From a piece that included our cat as a Kittenbus.

Genuinely the only thing keeping me going—but it really is keeping me going—is how good it is to see people link arms and push for this to end.

I cannot stop thinking about how much love people can have for their neighbors, and how much work and money is poured into breaking that love apart.

YEP, if it’s the one I’m thinking of it was over here on Nicolett outside of the donut shop. 😔 (so there’s a high likelihood kids also saw it)

Like they unload and then they scatter…

We are seeing what they are willing to do to American citizens in front of cameras, we can only imagine the horrors that the undocumented folks in detention centers, places without observers, etc are facing outside of the spotlight.

Abolish and arrest all of these monsters

YouTube recs on point. 😔

I’m pretty sure that’s the donut shop too so like…kids saw this.

I don’t even know what I’m feeling anymore.

Oh no doubt…and it’s Nicolett, it’s never not busy. There’s going to be multiple angles of this thing.

Fixed headline: Hero indie bookstore owner calmly and thoroughly explains the truth of what is happening in MN.

Jake Tapper literally saying “protest, but not that way.”

Hero indie bookstore owner: Actually this IS the way and you should join us.

10/10, no notes, go buy books from Moon Palace

The Twin Cities community is pulling together like never before. Nobody can remember a time when drivers would pull up to bus stops — not to be obnoxious and block the next bus — but to ask if anyone needs hand warmers.

Lots of OBAA vs SINNERS discourse going on, and sorry dude but you will never make me choose between my antifascist Big Lebowski and my historical pussy-eating vampire musical fantasia. You simply cannot force me to take a side on this.

Over a decade ago I remember going to a BNW show and they had just an absolutely savage song about him THEN, and my kingdom for a recording of it because it just constantly plays in my head every time he’s out here doing something deeply evil.

“What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one.”

Amidst all the horrors, here is a hope-affirming thread about Minneapolis:

I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays
