my son is five, same age as Liam Ramos. you don't need to have a child the same age to be fucking horrified by the violence we are doing (and HAVE BEEN doing) upon immigrant children in this nation. but that he keeps asking for his spidey backpack is the kind of detail that rips my heart in two.

Also, a big thanks to Matt and Will for letting me speak briefly about the situation here in MN. I forgot to mention Monarca at the time of our recording but they're another organization doing a lot of good.

Had a blast on BatChat as always! I've always been a big Dark Horse fan so it was really fun to take a look at these crossovers.

Lots of kids books in here and supports a good cause:

DETECTIVE HARRY HOLE: Its me, norways famous detective, Harry Hole. in Norway it's a normal name.

POLICE CHIEF: Hole, I'm glad you're here, and that your name is normal, in our culture. this is a hell of a murder

The good news is all the brazen, cartoonish corruption makes it easier to run on an anti-oligarchy, good government platform. The bad news is you still need candidates who want to do that

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Republicans didn’t like the IRS and so they defunded it.
Republicans didn’t like the Dept of Education so when they had a chance they blew it up.

The whole country hates ICE and @schumer.senate.gov is giving us lame, weak, poll-tested pablum.
Seize the moment, my man!

it is both true that firing bovino doesn’t change a whole lot in terms of policy and also true that they have put a lot of money, time and effort into trying to make him the “never back down, fuck you, we own this place” face of the operation, and unceremoniously kicking him to the curb is a retreat

Dreamhaven is an incredible store, well worth your support if you're looking for books

one of the gofundme campaigns sent to me today is only trying to raise $1,600 and has a horrific story of an experience of a Hmong elder.

they've only raised $10.

this is how it’s going to have to be, and how major movements have always been

Per his colleagues: The victim’s name was apparently Alex Pretti and he was an ICU nurse caring for severely injured veterans at the VA Hospital. He was acting as an observer, filming the raid. Any suggestion that he was there with violence on his mind is horrific gaslighting.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Still very relevant!

It is clear now that the left needs to embrace the Second Amendment

We had 50K people downtown yesterday, no ICE and zero incidents. ICE is the fucking problem.

How To Help if You are Outside Minnesota Last edited January 22, 2026 I’m going to assume that if you’re reading this, you more or less understand the situation in Minnesota and I don’t have to explain it to you! That sa…

Your reminder that entering the country illegally is only a misdemeanor and overstaying your legal status is a civil violation.

And people are being killed over it.

Try your best to stay safe. ❤️

Walz isn't even running for governor anymore. He doesn't have the juice for a presidential run. He doesn't need to worry about preserving political capital. That he still is not using every resource at his disposal to defend Minnesotans is a shameful abdication of responsibility.

Abolishing ICE isn’t enough. Everyone responsible: Stephen Miller, Noem, Bovino, Lewandowski and more also need to be thrown in prison for murder, assault, kidnapping, trafficking children, etc.

Stand With Minnesota Donation Directory Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

And donate.

Every time they kill one of us, help us make the resistance even stronger.

Minnesotans have shown a remarkable amount of restraint, calling for calm is insulting at this point.

They said Renée Good ran over Jonathan Ross. They said he went to the hospital when the police report showed he went to the federal building. They only lie.
