okay dying at the reporter who, at Tom Homan's conference announcing completion of metro surge asked "can you confirm if CBP shot down a party balloon with a laser yesterday" what a timeline

some of my shit is so old though. I originally built this thing in 2015 and just upgrade parts as needed. I probably have something in there that's still from 2015 😂

couldn't get the pc booted so took the opportunity to reapply thermal paste, blow out the dust, and re-seat everything. still no luck so now im just reinstalling windows i guess 😭

a selfie photo of me wearing a black bike helmet over a teal balaclava. I'm wearing a teal puffy jacket pulled up to my chin. Behind me slightly blurred is my ebike pulling a yellow kids trailer.

korra sticks to us like glue and rex permanently needs a gps tracker on (the green box on his collar) because he is an escape artist.

Graphic with a dark teal gradient background promoting Minnesota Aurora season tickets. Large text reads “Season Tickets That Give Back.” Smaller text says, “Every 2026 season ticket sold raises $5 for the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota.” The Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota logo appears in the center with the tagline “Supporting families and strengthening communities since 1996.” Logos for Pentz Homes and Minnesota Aurora appear at the top. Bottom text explains that Aurora will donate $1 and partner Pentz Homes will add $4 per ticket, raising $5 total in honor of Aurora’s fifth season.

We're thrilled to announce a partnership with @pentzhomes.bsky.social to raise funds for the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota.

For every 2026 season ticket sold, Aurora will donate $1 to ILCM, and Pentz Homes will provide an additional $4 for a total donation of $5.

A comic in black/white/blue. Lucy rolls her bike through an alley, by a crew building a fence. Narration: My neighbors hired a crew to rebuild their fence. Crew member: "Do you need us to move our stuff out of the way?" Lucy: "Oh! No, you're all good, thanks!" Lucy: "Have a good one!" Crew member: "You, too!"

Narration: I was teaching when my phone started lighting up with alerts from the rapid response network and neighbor chat. Lucy's back is to us as she shows a group of enthusiastic children something on a notebook. Behind her, her phone in her bag is buzzing. Narration: By the time the lesson was over, they were already gone. Lucy is reading messages on her phone. Messages: Alert: black SUV Sighting: be on alert for... Confirmed abductionL alley between ----- and ----. SUV plates... We tried to get them inside, but it was too... ...Contacting an I.R. lawyer. Heading to Broadview later today.

Lucy is riding her bike home. Narration: On the ride home, I kept thinking "If I'd been there, could I have warned them? Would my ICIRR* training have helped?" *Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Get trained and know your rights at ICIRR.org. Narration: I'd taken the training after Halloween, when the violent ICE raids had locked down our schools and driven our neighbors indoors. (Image of a halloween bucket in the shape of a jack-o-lantern) Narration: Halloween is fun here-- The community filling the streets and opening our doors to one another. But this year's was tense, frightened and subdued. Haunted.

Lucy is standing in the alley, staring at the newly built fence. Narration: When I got home, it was all done. The other two guys who had gotten inside in time stayed and finished the build. The new fence is superimposed with the brief exchange from earlier in the comic ("Have a good one" You, too") Narration: I see it every day and think about how those guys built this in the spot where strangers in masks took their friend. Narration: How many other places in our communities are similarly haunted? (Drawings of sidewalks, buildings, streets and windows)

Looking for resources for a parent who's worried their young teen is being radicalized by right-wing manosphere content. I know I've seen things in the last but can't find them now.

the person who spoke on behalf of Peggy Flanagan at the 52 caucus also spoke about Angie Craig's track record and there quite a few jeers at Angie's expense during that.

ope I'm a delegate

An (I’m assuming unpopular) thought I have been having is the importance of centering immigrants and refugees in our stories of this moment.

When we center the stories of only observers, we get milquetoast.

Do you know who is brave? The mom who is terrified to go to work accepting help.

Light and dark Purple mittens with a middle finger knit into the pattern.

The other side. Same light and dark purple but a less sweary pattern of little checks.

Help MN and maybe win these mittens! I’ll draw a name 2/1, so get me your name by 7pm central tomorrow.

Every $5 you give to mutual aid and every phone call to your reps is an entry. Email a pic of your receipt/call to mplsAngryMittens@proton.me

I know 😂😂 it definitely stuck after using it for pubg and the username is always available on platforms so it's easy to use 😂

I got a babysitter and I'll be there!

Omar: I instinctively tried to, like, punch him…, I was raised with three brothers who were older than me. You learn that maybe taking the first punch when somebody is bigger than you yields you better results.

Some things to understand about people from Minnesota on here right now, a short thread:

We’re all stressed out, being kept up all night by helicopters, watching our neighbors get abducted while working our asses off trying to stop it from happening, and trying to parent and do our jobs while under siege. Please give your friends and colleagues in MN some grace right now. It’s a lot.

thank you for sharing I'll pass it on!

I can hear it now! Seeeegaaaahhhh

what browser and device are you using? can you share a screenshot? I can pass this onto the team!

A screenshot from the What To Expect app that has a circular photo of a Sega Game Gear handheld console with text beneath it that says "Your baby is as big as a Sega Game Gear"

gotta hand it to my pregnancy app i did not expect this as a size comparison. I feel like i gotta break mine out now.

Honestly the longer ICE stays here the more advantage we gain. They have to be gone by spring. If the bike whackos get a shot at patrol it’s OVER.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests

- nazgul bodycams
- morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring
- shelob will be the new point of contact

Hey US friends - in addition to calling your senators to tell them to abolish ICE, it’s also a great day to tell them to vote NO on HJ Resolution 140 that would strip environmental protections from public lands surrounding Minnesota’s Boundary Waters.
