Take his personal army away from him while you can, you stupid, stupid assholes. You’re like an armadillo playing dead in the middle of the road so the semi won’t hurt you

the reality is that Republicans will threaten to, try to, and sometimes succeed in killing you if you oppose them. Politicians who aren't willing to take that heat shouldn't run.

I wrote about my time in Minneapolis last week, about what is involved in creating bottom-up, decentralized networks of care.

We hear the thoughts of way too many people, it's not healthy for anyone to be exposed to more than like 5 people's bullshit a day

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.

Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

I've started assuming the people ludicrously claiming whistles are counterproductive or ableist or whatever are simply saboteurs

A windchill of around -30F didn’t stop what organizers say was 50,000 from marching through Minneapolis in one of, if not the largest, march in Minnesota history.

Protesters demand accountability in the killing of Renee Good and removal of the federal agents that have upended daily life in MN.

Between the brutality of one side, and the thumb twiddling of the other side, people are sick of waiting for those with power to give permission.

Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul

Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home.

So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.
