The kids actually made animals that don't exist. The AI just put a bunch of stuff that already exists together into a polished slop blender. You can't get a better illustration of why AI can't create anything new while human creativity is bottomless.

Minnesotans are inspiring! This is awesome. 👏👏😍🇺🇸🇨🇦🥰💙💙💙

This video explains it all! 👇

🚨"Shut it down for Alex, shut it down for Renee, shut it down for every immigrant terrorized. Shut it down until ICE is no longer on our streets!" -Minneapolis ICE protesters chant about upcoming 2nd ICE general strike in Minnesota happening on Friday January 30th. LIVE NOW ⬇️

Alex Pretti wasn’t at a protest. He was living life and documenting the “war zone” that the federal government has imposed on Minneapolis. The residents of MN are all heroes

It’s a powder keg in Minneapolis.

“It’s your right to own a gun as well. This isn’t a conservative vs. liberal issue; it’s a government vs. the people issue, and you’re part of the people.”—armed community member at Alex Pretti’s vigil. 11/24/26

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

This is who Alex Pretti was.

The sadness is beyond overwhelming.

17 days from Renee Good being murdered, another incredible light was needlessly taken.

Because the party in power wants the voter roles.

F.B.I. Agent Who Tried to Investigate ICE Officer in Shooting Resigns

Breaking NYT:

The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice."

Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

"They Picked the Wrong State to Mess With"

Hundreds of Minnesota businesses are shutting down Friday as part of a general strike pushing ICE out of the state. The "Day of Truth and Freedom" includes protests, prayers, and fasting.

According to reports, some businesses stayed open but only to give free coffee and pastries to the protestors. Solidarity!

This a really big deal! We are so 🥹 proud.

We have to keep this same energy. We don’t want to knock the wind from the sails, but these general strikes will have to spread further than one state, and longer than 1 day. So, how do we prepare?

Firstly, get connected to your local chapter 👇

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Canadians answered the call without question and 128 made the ultimate sacrifice, 8 at the hands of a US fighter jock's hands, which he only received a reprimand for.
Never forget, you called, we answered.

ICE is dropping injured detainees in the middle of your public parks—with signs of being beaten.

"We have three confirmed in hospital—one with skull fracture and open head wound."

If only they’d listened…

Quick #OceanDevotion view from my morning hike.

No one is illegal on stolen land. Immigrants who risk everything to come here, they are just trying to survive.

Unless you are indigenous, you came from somewhere else.

“Somewhere we must come to see that social progress never rolls in on the wheels of inevitability. It comes through the tireless efforts and persistent work of dedicated individuals.” — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
