MNDoT is going to regret not letting us name a plow "Abolish ICE" from here on out, that's the moderate snowplow name. We have moved on to "Fuck ICE."

β€œTrust but verify” words Obama used when negotiating with an enemy state.
β€œTrust but verify” words Walz used when negotiating with our own federal government.

If that doesn’t rattle you too it should. The federal government has made itself the enemy of its own people.

It’s giving Bush on an Air Carrier, but using the language of abusers.

I will say it was the fire fighter paramedics that place the sheet & they generally have more humanity than any of the other groups on scene.

My assumption is to protect his identity/dignity with so many people on site & so many people with cameras.

Is there any follow up on this? Are they in the building for a meeting?

YES!!! I heard this story the week I picked up Joey. I was hoping he’d be just like that dog! A beagle’s appetite & sense of humor with a newf’s need to save lives! The perfect dog! I think Joey would do that!

This was at the Hortman vigil in June. We went to the Renee Good memorial site this weekend and he give out free smiles to everyone… and on our way there he threw a 4 yr old into a snow bank repeatedly, best day of Joey & that kid’s life!

Joey is in training for his future job as a therapy dog. It’s just so hard to keep your shit together, especially around kids.

Oh! National polling came back so she can talk about this now? Great. Good to know the turn around time for her feeling comfortable to speak on an issue.

"The DFLer in 47A is unopposed, can't I skip?"/ "64A is a super blue district, do I really need to worry about this one?"

GO VOTE OUT OF SPITE.

GO VOTE TO SHOW THAT OUR STATE VOTES NO MATTER WHAT.

I’d be great if national campaigns could not text Minnesotans right now looking for campaign contributions!

I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. I started following you because of our naughty beagles with a shared name. Your George had the best life a beagle could find! I hope the day when you recount stories of his antics and laugh vs cry come soon because we know beagles love the sound of laughter. ❀️

Has anyone seen the collective bargaining agreement/Union Contract for ICE anywhere? The contents of it, especially Overtime rules, might help people be able to predict when they’ll be out & about. If anyone can find it please send me the link. Union Contracts are public information.

My only concern is neighbors will continue ignoring car alarms vs a human honking. Then again, if enough people know this is happening they might look outside & join in.

On top of everything being terrible in the world my house appears to be haunted. My tv is off, yet I heard it bark at me!

Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.

This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

She always does. Her Santa suit is her straight jacket & turns her into a limp babydoll who doesn’t leave even while I’m resetting the dogs & their hats.

I like that Athleisure clothing companies are overcorrecting the historical injustice what was no pockets for women by giving us pockets in crewneck sweatshirts & pants.

GLP1s come w an entire host of GI problems, who wants to have sex when they’re not sure what’s going on in their guts? How about her being irritable as a side effect of the drug & not her having body confidence? The entire story felt recycled based on the fast weight loss fad of the day & not GLP1s!

I listened to The Daily podcast yesterday about marriage/sex & GLP1s. The story blamed a couple’s marital issues on the wife’s weight loss & her new found confidence. Most of the issues were standard for any fast weight loss. But they didn’t probe into the wife’s possible side effects from the meds!

13 yr old beagle named Barack Obeagle, born late in President Barack Obama’s 1st term.

13 yr old beagle named Barack Obeagle, born late in President Barack Obama’s 1st term.

My new favorite thing is when small children who were not alive for the 1st term of the Obama administration correct me when I tell them my dog’s name is Barack Obeagle. They always follow it with, β€œNo, it’s Barack Obama!”
