Took two and a half days off work because of a cold and managed to watch 7 movies. Why can’t every day be like that.

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

The People vs. ICE Renee Good’s death galvanized a city eager to push back against Trump’s invasion.

Just heard it for the first time this week, and it is amazing.

I should finally listen to him. I’ve long enjoyed the English death doom stuff from the 90s, but the goofiness of My Dying Bride or Anathema just doesn’t have this directness.

Was totally unfamiliar with it until this week. Absolutely blown away by it.

ICE is sending these kids to the concentration camp in Dilley, Texas, where they're preparing to have so many children that they're opening a new school there. They're actively hiring teachers now. I reported on it last month. We have to get people out of there.

Never got far enough to know that the game doesn’t actually work that way.

ICE’s cruelty knows no bounds. Deporting children with cancer. Shooting moms. And now, using a 5 year-old as “bait” to detain his family.

Mostly excited to revisit Charisma, which I haven’t seen in at least a decade.

Bought this before I had any way to play region b stuff and just kind of hoped it would work out somehow.

Can a dog not kick back after a hard day anymore?

She asked if we had food allergies first, but unfortunately two out of the three of us working are vegan and we didn’t say anything.

Shoutout to the regular who brought us a box of pastries and a stack of old Playboys, for some reason.

Mamdani proposed like, free buses and other actual things. Schumer opposes things that would actually benefit people. These are not the same message.

It’s worse than it looks in Minneapolis But locals are organizing to keep each other safe from ICE agents.

Thanks so much to everyone who has checked in about what it’s like in Minneapolis right now. This should answer most of your questions:
