The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

Real talk.

RIP to an honest-to-god legend. #RobertDuvall

Bleak and terrible.

What a jackass! Everyone thinks they're a comedian.

So far our Valentine's Day in-store watch has included Kazan's SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS & Wong Kar-wai's CHUNGKING EXPRESS! Time 2 yearn!

While both of Mark' posts in his thread are insightful and germane, that people don't understand his expertise??? For christsakes, folks! P.S. His book, PICTURES AT A REVOLUTION, rocks!

I mean...this evokes a strong "Preach, Mo!!!" Because it is DIRE!

I'm so tired

Newsom has his finger in the wind for never trumpers.

We are now here

Bud Cort (1948-2026) 🤍

And just SO colossally uninformed...it's beyond being proudly ignorant, he honestly thinks he gets "it."

No one should be telling us to calm down.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

I see the vision.

An image of a social media post on X (formerly Twitter) from Jake Paul (@jakepaul), dated February 8, 2026. The text reads: "Purposefully turning off the halftime show. Let's rally together and show big corporations they can't just do whatever they want without consequences (which equals viewership for them). You are their benefit. Realize you have power. Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that."

This guy has the gall to colonize Puerto Rico and present himself as Puerto Rican before his boxing match and then calls Bad Bunny a fake citizen and diss the whole island with this. ¡Vete pal carajo!

Remembering Jack Lemmon today on his birthday 🤍

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

I only watched one season one, so I was drawing a blank on "Misty fucking Quigley on Gilligan's Island," (hell, I forgot about the show in general). The second I looked up that name, I was fully on board.

Saw a review on Letterboxd that made this exact comparison as well, and it's pretty damned apt. I was thinking Gone Girl by way of Castaway.

Repeatedly extending the presumption of good faith to people who quite explicitly operate in bad faith is, at base, disrespecting yourself.

46th St & I-35w, 175 E 46th St, Minneapolis, MN 55419, USA Description: As I was leaving my home, I hear cars honking near the top the of bridge. People screaming and whistling, I got in my uber and drove out. My uber driver mentioned that they were standing on top of the bridge and doing a check point and stopping people.

46th St & I-35w, 180 E 46th St, Minneapolis, MN 55419, USA Description: 4 vehicles pulled over a man in a red van on 46th over 35. Agents in Police US border patrol vests surrounding vehicle checking papers

ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend.

They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

From Jake's whole thread here, I need to go see SEND HELP.

Jesus H Christ, this poor baby! The cruelty is disgusting.

FIRED? Who gives a fuck about “fired”?!? How about “send them to jail for life”? And I mean ALL of ‘em.
